Born in Prague, moved in Germany, and now living and working in Italy as Co-Manager of Accademia Del Caffè Espresso | La Marzocco’s, Nora doesn’t feel Czech, German, or Italian. She says she’s something in between, “a citizen of Europe.”
In this episode, we talk about a path that was never a straight line:
☕ What it’s like to be dropped into a completely different culture and language overnight☕ How coffee culture differs between the Czech Republic, Germany, and Italy, and why the first coffee you ever drink becomes the benchmark for every coffee after☕ From product design in Berlin to two coffee shops, and from there to a ceramics studio☕ Why coffee is hospitality, and why “programmed” hospitality isn’t hospitality at all☕ Why we stop when we feel comfortable, and what to do about it☕ What success means to Nora: waking up happy and looking forward to the day
A conversation about curiosity, about not parking yourself where it’s comfortable, and about happiness as the measure of success.
