Show Notes
Meet Rob Miller — better known as Papa Rob — who turned a life transition, a love for people, and a garage roasting hobby into a fast-growing specialty coffee business. After moving to Texas to care for family, Rob launched Papa Rob's Coffee and quickly went from a 3-lb roaster to 14-hour roast days when one viral post generated hundreds of orders overnight. Today he supplies both individual subscribers and wholesale clients with fresh, small-farm, hand-selected beans — building a business just as relational as it is flavorful.
