RADICAL INCLUSIVITY Episode 40 Part 2 Front Porch 468 E.Foothill Boulevard San Luis Obispo, CA 93405 We are back at Front Porch this week for another episode, because there was too much awesomeness to fit into one session.. Yes the place with the “cheers” philosophy is back on our recording schedule for part two. Start singing the refrain now….. “where everybody knows your name”. Last week we heard from the director, Joel Drenckpohl, and now we get into the nitty gritty, with interviews from all over the spectrum, on the California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, California. This is truly the coffee shop with a purpose. Our first guest is someone whose mind never shuts down. Ask Sophie about any topic and she may have a “plan” for that. How about let's start with free energy, or leftover food as examples.We could have spent all day listening to her thoughtful complex answers. Warning: she may make you feel like a slacker in the inspirational idea category. Is there one step we could all take to help save the planet? Could you do it? No it's not just paper straws. The simple answer contained in this interview may surprise you. What does the Sunrise Project, environmental science degrees and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have to do with our day to day lives and future generations? You can definitely see the future in this young woman.With her vision there is hope for the world, and for climate change.. Washington perhaps?. What lengths would you go to to make your point on social media. Her ideas may make you pause, but they will definitely give you something to think about every time you hear the term “sex sells”. Does getting ice in your coffee mean that you have met the daily requirement recommendation for complete hydration? Can you feel comfortable and accepted as a non religious young person, while sipping the free coffee and studying daily at a “church sponsored” coffee house? See how the welcome mat is not only rolled out for everyone, but challenging discussions and freedom of religion are embraced. A coffee house where people actually care if you show up? Our next guest Paul comes now for the people, conversation and the coffee but it wasn’t always that way. Can you study experts, or be an expert on experts...and why? Check out Paul's podcast, Make It Human on Apple podcasts. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/make-it-human/id1437871836 Would you choose your college based on whether or not there was a place that served free coffee? Find out where Paul went after his radical theories of inclusivity were rejected by two religious institutions. What is the church umbrella, and is everyone always included? As a staff member, Dom has many moving pieces to her job. Find out how she goes above and beyond with the students every single day. At any moment she could be sharing life stories and connecting with her "tribe", or you might find her doing her "ad hoc" plumbing duties unclogging the toilet, or making a Costco run! For coffee lovers who “must” grind their beans daily you will learn from our next guest what her family did when the power went out. Do you have the tools on hand to complete this daily routine? She now has a staff of 130 volunteers. Find out how many people she supervised/mentored when she started, and what strengths of her own she discovered when she took this job. Multiple choice: When serving over 400 students a day, how much milk is purchased at Costco? 20 gallons B. 30 gallons  C. Ginormous amounts D. I refuse to answer I’m not in college anymore. Find out what coffee shop from The Cross Country Coffee Roadshow podcast (season 1) was her " go to" coffee stop, before she moved to San Luis Obispo. Kyle is another staffer at Front Porch. You may never say the phrase, "See you tomorrow" again without thinking of this interview. How did that one phrase change his thoughts on many things. What does a degree in rhetoric prepare you to do?
