Episode 493: Chris and Crystal Green of Skyrocket Coffee - Bertram, TX [Part 2]. Single-Origin + Certified Organic Coffee. WHAT [the Smell] is AIR ROASTING TECHNOLOGY? Fighting ILLITERACY = PURPOSE..

What if the key to unlocking your entrepreneurial dream isn’t about having a flawless plan, but about having the right mindset to navigate the inevitable chaos?

In this deeply insightful episode of the JUSTIN AND THE [FOOD] ENTREPRENEURS Show, host Justin Bizzarro welcomes back Chris and Crystal Green, the dynamic husband-and-wife team behind the fast-growing Texas brand, Skyrocket Coffee. This isn’t just a conversation about coffee; it’s a masterclass in building a business—and a life—with intention, resilience, and a relentless commitment to growth.

 

Chris and Crystal pull back the curtain on the meticulous craft behind their brand. They dive deep into their decision to focus exclusively on single-origin, certified organic coffee, explaining how this commitment to purity—backed by rigorous testing for molds and mycotoxins—is their ultimate differentiator in a crowded market. Discover the secrets of their air roasting technology, a game-changing method that creates a smoother, richer, and more consistent flavor profile by eliminating the burnt, bitter notes common in traditional drum roasting.

This episode is a powerful testament to the idea that a successful business is a direct reflection of personal growth. Chris and Crystal get vulnerable about their journey of self-development, sharing how they transformed their own lives by building consistent, healthy habits, from daily workouts to absorbing knowledge through books and podcasts. They reveal how this shared commitment to becoming the best version of themselves became the unshakable foundation for their business, allowing them to navigate the immense pressures and setbacks of entrepreneurship as a unified team.

You’ll also learn their brilliant strategies for building a passionate community from the ground up. Find out how they leverage social media to educate consumers, turning customers into advocates by transparently sharing their entire process, from sourcing beans to live-roasting sessions. It’s a story about creating a brand that stands for something more, with a mission to support literacy programs and make a tangible, positive impact.

 

Tune in for an inspiring and actionable conversation about turning a shared passion into a thriving enterprise. This is a must-listen for any entrepreneur who understands that the journey to building a great company starts with building a great self.
