1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: That's another one of my favorite songs. Fy that flow

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: right a track I played a few minutes ago, and

3
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: what it is leg listen, fire hydrants, leg lifts and

4
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: fire hydrants. Does Robbie do those? Did Michael? Do they

5
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: do these stuff for their glutes? Yes, I'm not.

6
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 2: In his what Michael does though, I don't watch Michael

7
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 2: workout really well.

8
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 3: Were we go to classes together. Rob and I go

9
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 3: to classes together, and I'll actually use a bigger weight

10
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 3: for my like donkey kicks and leglifts than he does.

11
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: He goes very you're very excited about it. I can

12
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 1: tell five work in your face.

13
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 3: He goes like double the weights of mine with arms,

14
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 3: but I am heavier on the I'm surprised.

15
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: Michael posts his workouts all the time. I watch them

16
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: on Tuesdays. I think that's we have.

17
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 2: So we have like a little gym in our garage

18
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 2: and there's a ring camera in there, and sometimes I watch.

19
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 2: I do watch his workouts on the camera, but it's

20
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: more arms. Usually. Yeah, when I'm fine, I'm a hustler.

21
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: Bit, let's get to it. Hometown hustler time.

22
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 4: Now.

23
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: This is I just love this segment celebrating people here

24
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: in different cities and communities that follow up passion, that

25
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: are doing something that they love and actually can make

26
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: a living by doing it. So we're gonna meet Anthony

27
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: and a Deal from Able Coffee Roasters. Listen to this.

28
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: They're working with special needs kids and communities. They've been

29
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: doing for ten years and they saw there was a

30
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: need for employment opportunities for people with disabilities, and so

31
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: they came up with a concept that helps solve that problem.

32
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: A Deal and Anthony, good morning, how are you?

33
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 4: Hey, Good morning, good, how are you.

34
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: We're excited to meet both of you because I just

35
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: I think this concept is so cool. First of all,

36
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: you've got organic coffee, which I find hard to find

37
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: good organic coffee. I think that's it for me.

38
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 4: It's difficult, definitely, definitely, yeah, yeah, yeah, But.

39
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: You're doing something really great. What made you decide to

40
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: open up this coffee shop and create a safe space

41
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: for people with disabilities to work?

42
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 5: Well, I think I could answer that. I know A

43
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 5: Deal can too. But my name's Anthony Palmery and I'm

44
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 5: one of the founders of Able Coffee Roasters and my

45
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 5: background up until last year, I was a high school

46
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 5: special at teacher, in Irvine Unified School District in Orange County,

47
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 5: which I absolutely loved, and A Deal worked in my

48
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 5: classroom with me, and we just saw there was such

49
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 5: a lack of job opportunities for our students after they

50
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 5: left us because A Deal and I taught high school

51
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 5: and we taught individuals on the moderate to severe spectrum,

52
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 5: and we had them volunteering and turning as part of

53
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 5: their school day at you know, different job sites like Albertson's,

54
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 5: like a grocery store or a mort pizza Lovely, they're

55
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 5: so accommodying it another great business and we just saw,

56
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 5: like we started thinking, We're like, well, you know what,

57
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 5: it would be great to create that opportunity for them ourselves,

58
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 5: especially since we heard from their parents after they left

59
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 5: from us that you know, they were struggling finding jobs

60
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 5: and you know, just opportunities for their students. And we

61
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 5: still see that now, you know, as as employers, you know,

62
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 5: as we have two coffee shops.

63
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: Now, I'm just curious to know how what are the

64
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: customers respond with how do they feel because you've got

65
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: this coffee shop, You've got these these folks with you know,

66
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: disabilities working in there with a happiness to them, I'm

67
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: sure as they give people what they love every day,

68
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: which is great coffee, what's the reaction.

69
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, So you know when we get our customers coming in,

70
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 4: we have our regulars and you know, you could kind

71
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 4: of just tee like their their excitement they come in

72
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 4: specifically for you know, certain baristas and certain cashiers is

73
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 4: that you know they've developed day to day relationships. You know,

74
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 4: coffee is a big culture no matter where you are,

75
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 4: especially especially coffee. You know, we row small batch, single

Speaker 4: source from, you know, in different countries like Columbia, Guatemala, Ethiopia,

78
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 4: and so those customers, you know, they truly feel we're

79
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 4: all about inclusions, and you know that's that's what they

80
