Coffee with Zach: Recent Episodes
Zachary Hathaway
Coffee with Zach is a YouTube Show and podcast that features unique individuals, allowing them to share their stories and help build a community of coffee-convo lovers! We partner with local coffee shops to film each conversation in their space, or to showcase their coffee.
I recorded this episode with Fabian Haywood before I moved to Las Vegas, but hadn't posted it because life got in the way. Now that I'm settled in, I wanted to go back and share this!
Fabian and I had a great time catching up, and we had a great conversation on what the new year has in store for us, some big changes, big inventions, and reflections from 2021.
This episode is also special, because it is one of the last I was able to film at Foster Coffee Company before I moved. I owe a huge thank you to them for being so supportive, and this was filmed at the Flint location, which has since closed. I am so grateful to have spent so much time there, and to have made so many connections, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the space turns into!

I had the pleasure of meeting Colin Regan a couple of weeks ago. Colin is a Musician, Composer, and Children's Author living in Sacramento, California, and we had a great conversation on Music, its impacts on mental health, as well as the importance of finding the right people in your life.
As Colin and I got to know each other a bit, we soon realized that we shared a lot of the same struggles in life. One of my main takeaways was the importance of finding the right people for your 'circle'. Colin brought up a new angle I hadn't thought about much, and that is to go out and seek the relationships you want because if you don't, you'll be left with only the relationships that come to you - some of which may not be the right relationships for you.
After we recorded this podcast, Colin was kind enough to invite me to his belated family Christmas gathering. I cannot think of a time where I felt more included and wanted, and at that moment, I knew I had found one of those 'right people' for my circle.
The late Dr. Seuss wrote an iconic poem themed on acceptance - the famous One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. Sometimes, we come across bad fish though... There may be people who harm us, and there might be people that push our boundaries. There are people who manipulate and gaslight us into thinking the way they want us to.
There are also people who encourage us to stand up for ourselves and advocate for our mental well-being. Colin and I share many of the struggles mentioned above, and I found comfort in knowing I wasn't alone with those struggles. There are good fish too.
My hope is that everyone eventually finds their good fish and lets the bad fish go. Everyone's pond is different, so don't be afraid to catch and release. Also, don't bait others with something you're not. Be true to yourself and the good fish will enter your pond!

Hey y'all! Sorry there isn't a video for this episode - I may or may not have forgotten a tripod when we 'filmed' this... oops. Anyways, it was great sitting down with my cousin, Kyla, and chatting about a bunch of adult things. It's also weird talking about adult things and complaining about our adult problems now, compared to 10 years ago when life was much more simple. We talked about car accidents, dropping out of college, work, debt, and car vending machines, so check it out!

Hey y'all Happy New Year! This episode is from 2021 and it might have taken me 2 months to get around to uploading it, but it ties into 2022 quite nicely!
A lot of us are burnt out. We've been working so hard for so long, during a pandemic, working those odd jobs to get by, etc. We're tired. We have no energy left and we've run out of steam (and self esteem).
Take a break.
Nero and I had a great conversation on some of the 'symptoms of social media' as he put it. It's always important to step away and take the time off so you can come back to things stronger than ever. Take this opportunity to hit the ground running in 2022, and remember to take breaks. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
Michael Lote(Nero) is a Pittsburgh artist and of course we talked about his background, style, inspiration, and more. It was a great Q&A so thank you to anyone who submitted a question! It happened to be the day before Halloween so we had to get a spooky story in there too - check it out, and as always, let me know what you think below!

Sometimes things don't go as planned... Gaven and I recorded this back in July, 2021 with the intent of highlighting good examples of representation in Film/TV, finding how bad examples could improve, and posing solutions to the queer representation problem(s) the community continues to face.
Gaven ultimately made the call not to post this collab back in July due to our unpreparedness and the fact that we cannot fully speak on the topic, given our backgrounds. We realized that this episode would have been rounded out by a person of color who can speak on the subject from their point of view. Eventually we'll reconvene and rework this conversation to be even more representative.
I have concluded what I see to be 'Season 1' of Coffee with Zach, and thought this would be a good 'bonus episode' to include. Coffee with Zach was started on authentic conversation, and I had to remember not every conversation is the same. Some are smooth, some are rocky, some are funny, some have zoom glitches every 3 seconds, some don't have great audio due to technical constraints... the list goes on... but they are ALL authentic.
While this episode may not have gone exactly as we planned, I still wanted to hit the upload button as it is still very much a piece of the wholistic Coffee with Zach 'conversation' I've worked so hard to create through genuine connection, coffee, and community. It would be discrediting to not share it out of my own fear that it wasn't good enough, didn't fully capture the topic at hand, etc. We tried our best, but sometimes we need to reframe, reset, and redo.
Please enjoy this conversation, and I hope you find some takeaways! I learned I need to watch more movies... almost every film Gaven mentioned I had not seen. I cannot wait to share an update on this conversation!

Many of us loathe coming back to work on a Monday morning, but once we get there we fall back into our weekly cycle and start all over again and never really look beyond the scope of our immediate lives and into our future potential... What if your actions now could determine your future success? What are some things limiting that success... could it be the very job you're working?
Jason DePaoli had a nice conversation about social media, business, being intentional, and really working to un-limit ourselves, breaking free from the confines of what so many of us are trained to think by the modern education system. Jason was so fun to chat with, and I hope you all enjoy this episode!

Wow! Hillary came on and shared some insight into the music business, country music specifically! We talked about the barriers to entry and some of the challenges she faced when starting out, and while she has grown in the industry.
Hillary got her start at 8 years old and has been putting out new music since, always ensuring that her music is representative of herself. Hillary exemplifies the authenticity I try to promote with Coffee with Zach so of course, we had to do a podcast!
Thanks again to Hillary for the great conversation - I cannot wait to see what's next!

You are NOT the problem...
Had a great conversation on mental health and LGBTQ+ youth advocacy, dating app toxicity, relationships, and life in Los Angeles with Trevor Leeper! He invited us into his cool loft in Downtown Los Angeles where we really put into words some of the struggles a lot of people face on a daily basis.
Trevor is an Empowerment Coach, Mental Health Advocate, Model, and Founder of With Love, a daily textline that inspires, empowers, and connects. He was kind enough to share his story and tell us about the things he wishes he heard growing up - the same things he now makes sure others hear each and every day.
Trevor also works at Cafe/5 in Jefferson Park, Los Angeles and in the days following this episode, we all got coffee, ate some papusas at Sarita's Papuseria, and walked around Downtown LA for a bit.
Thanks again to Trevor for coming on, and being so inviting. My goal is to continually make new friends through the power of coffee, conversations, and community and this is a perfect example of exactly that!

Hi! This episode's guest is Tiffani Wharry, Executive Director for Family Promise of Genesee County - we had not seen each other since before the pandemic began, so it was nice to catch up!

In this episode of Coffee with Zach, I got to sit down with Nicole Hoste-Breslin, Development Director for Family Promise of Genesee County and learn about Gardening and Golf!

Hi! This episode is full of tons of different topics, including Musical Theatre, Dance, staying sane during the Pandemic, superheroes and the parallels we can draw to the world we live in, and ultimately the reason why some of these things exist (minus the Pandemic)... to offer others an escape from reality.
Ashton Lambert, a BFA Musical Theatre/Dance student at Otterbein University in Westerville, Ohio, grew up in Houston Texas - a city with a thriving Musical theatre and entertainment scene. He shared his experiences in Musical Theatre, Dance (including countless injuries), and I was excited to get his take on the industry as a whole! Enjoy - this was really fun to record!
Ashton also had to represent Java Central, a local Roaster in Westerville, OH close to campus! http://javacentral.coffee

Hi Everyone! Was super excited to share this one with you all! Curtis Braly gave me a follow on Instagram a while back, and I decided to reach out a couple of months ago to see if he would like to come on and have a conversation about his experiences in the music industry. Sure enough, he was up for it, and we were able to get our schedules to align for a zoom.
Curtis and I talked about his experiences in the music industry, entertainment as a whole, how all of this was CHANGED by the shutdown, mental health as a result. He also shared that he is a private pilot, so stick around towards the end to get his take on what it's like to be up in the air!
Thank-you so much to Curtis for making the time to do this, and to Caitlin for setting this up for us!

I had the pleasure of chatting with Jackson Hall at Foster Coffee Co. in East Lansing, MI on a variety of different topics - the first of which is Education!
Jackson is a Music Educator studying at Michigan State University in East Lansing, MI who wanted to share his experiences with different education systems growing up, and since moving to MSU.
Jackson's passion for teaching is present throughout this conversation, and it was refreshing to know that our education system will be in good hands with educators like him entering the schools in the coming years. It's also important to note that one does not need to be an official "school teacher" to be a teacher! In this episode, we explore what it truly means to be a teacher/educator, and all of the ins/outs of the education world...

Born and raised on the North Side of Flint, Michigan, Fabian Haywood had dreams of creating a way out of no way - a way for himself to escape the stigmas, stereotypes, and ultimately, setbacks associated with Flint's notorious North Side. After graduating from Grand Valley State University, Fabian moved back home to Flint to pursue his dreams of establishing housing for himself, and others in the community. He began a capital campaign which was successful in marketing his name, and growing his community presence. In the summer of 2019 Fabian closed on a Duplex not far from Downtown Flint, and quickly began remodeling and researching ways to make it profitable.
This week's show takes you through Fabian's journey of purchasing, and renovating his duplex, highlighting some key aspects of his community involvement along the way, and finally how he stayed mentally healthy during the whole process. You're in for a hospitality treat, so sit back, and enjoy the show!

Christian Soto is a Theatre Major at the University of Toledo, President and Founder of the Improv and Acting Club at UT among other titles. Christian will be transferring to the University of Nevada Las Vegas to continue his education, and pursue his passions, one of which is Acting.
While at the University of Toledo, Christian wrote and directed a play, organized and grew a student-led club. In this conversation, Christian shares his experiences growing up becoming involved with theatre, and moving into college ultimately coming to a roadblock with a global health crisis. With the Arts and Entertainment sector being one of the hardest-hit areas of the economy, things were undoubtedly different for Christian as he returned to campus in the Fall of 2020...
In his free time, Christian enjoys roaming about the city of Toledo, Ohio and showing visitors around. He has a wide knowledge of the area dating back to the industrial eras, and later in the show we dive into Toledo's housing Market over the past 10-15 years, analyzing its peaks and troughs throughout the great recession, and now through a global health crisis. Among Toledo's Metroparks, there are many local restaurants to try, each with unique food palettes.

Hi everyone! My name is Adam Zapf. I’m 18 years old and from St. Louis, Missouri, and I currently live in Orlando, Florida. I am a third year participant of the activity known as Drum Corps International, and I have been in the organizations Spirit of Atlanta, The Cavaliers, and currently The Blue Devils, where I plan to stay the next 5 years. I’ve been playing Trumpet for about 3 years now, so roughly when I first got involved in the activity. I hold a deep passion for music education, along with Trumpet playing, and I hope to pursue that in my future career. Outside of that, I love rock climbing, going to Disney, and going on nice road trips! My future goal is to become a trumpet player for the Walt Disney Company, along with directing my own high school marching band.
Involving myself in this activity was at first a hobby, and I came into it for the experience, but through that time, I developed a form of a talent with my trumpet playing, and I’m hoping to make it into a career.
I want to share to the world the activity that is known as Drum Corps International, and with that, I want to share to the world how this organization can help musicians and young performers across the world develop their portfolio, and help those pursuing a field in the performing arts by giving them a professional experience, along with helping them build connections with people all across the world.

David Mosley founded Mosley Consulting, LLC after he worked for 34 years in corporate America, he watched how businesses did not properly value their employees and he listened to employee concerns and frustration and vowed to dedicate his life to teaching organizations, how to better develop, coach and counsel their employees to reach their full potential, creating an all-inclusive, respectful environment with energetic, motivated and highly trained employees.
Mosley Consulting, LLC has listened intently to their clients’ fears and concerns. Many clients, prior to coming to Mosley Consulting, LCC, had made some financially poor decisions, mishandled their finances and really needed help. They take the time to develop a program to help their clients and teach them how to eliminate debt and build generational wealth.
David's goal is to teach financial literacy, giving people the tools necessary to properly manage their finances in a way that is thought provoking and educational. There are far too many families living paycheck to paycheck which creates an enormous amount of stress, heartache and pain. He enjoys helping to give hope and most importantly transform family trees, eliminating debt and building generational wealth, restoring joy and financial peace.
I had the pleasure of interviewing David on his experiences in Finance, and his career. David gave some great advice for anyone looking to achieve or maintain financial wellness.

He routinely drives a 15-passenger van to the organization's various host sites, often transporting guests to and from work, school, job interviews, and even home/apartment showings! He also runs errands and plays an integral role in maintaining the Family Promise of Genesee County Day Center. Crawley took us for a scenic ride around the city of Flint, Michigan while describing his journey from homelessness to playing such an important role in the lives and success of others.
