The Excuse

Coffee is just the excuse to be together. The Excuse is a weekly show hosted by Joshua Boyt — 25 years in the specialty coffee industry, built on relationships first. Every Tuesday, Joshua gathers around the proverbial cup to explore what happens when coffee becomes the permission slip for real conversation: about business, identity, craft, community, and the kind of purpose that outlasts a trend. Solo episodes dig into the frameworks Joshua has spent a career building — how we impress before we express, why a compass matters more than a clock, and what it looks like to find the work you were made for. Guest conversations go deep with the people who have shaped the specialty coffee world and beyond. This isn't a show about coffee. It's a show about people — and coffee just happens to be the reason we showed up. New episodes every Tuesday. Pull up a chair.
