WEBVTT - HOMETOWN HUSTLER- Able Coffee Roasters

0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:02.400
<v Speaker 1>That's another one of my favorite songs. Fy that flow

0:00:02.480 --> 0:00:03.960
<v Speaker 1>right a track I played a few minutes ago, and

0:00:03.960 --> 0:00:07.240
<v Speaker 1>what it is leg listen, fire hydrants, leg lifts and

0:00:07.360 --> 0:00:10.600
<v Speaker 1>fire hydrants. Does Robbie do those? Did Michael? Do they

0:00:10.640 --> 0:00:15.000
<v Speaker 1>do these stuff for their glutes? Yes, I'm not.

0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:19.560
<v Speaker 2>In his what Michael does though, I don't watch Michael

0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:21.560
<v Speaker 2>workout really well.

0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:23.439
<v Speaker 3>Were we go to classes together. Rob and I go

0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:27.440
<v Speaker 3>to classes together, and I'll actually use a bigger weight

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:30.080
<v Speaker 3>for my like donkey kicks and leglifts than he does.

0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:32.800
<v Speaker 1>He goes very you're very excited about it. I can

0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:33.840
<v Speaker 1>tell five work in your face.

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:36.320
<v Speaker 3>He goes like double the weights of mine with arms,

0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:39.200
<v Speaker 3>but I am heavier on the I'm surprised.

0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Michael posts his workouts all the time. I watch them

0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:45.519
<v Speaker 1>on Tuesdays. I think that's we have.

0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:47.479
<v Speaker 2>So we have like a little gym in our garage

0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:50.640
<v Speaker 2>and there's a ring camera in there, and sometimes I watch.

0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:55.360
<v Speaker 2>I do watch his workouts on the camera, but it's

0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:59.560
<v Speaker 2>more arms. Usually. Yeah, when I'm fine, I'm a hustler.

0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Bit, let's get to it. Hometown hustler time.

0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:03.920
<v Speaker 4>Now.

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:07.160
<v Speaker 1>This is I just love this segment celebrating people here

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:11.760
<v Speaker 1>in different cities and communities that follow up passion, that

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:13.760
<v Speaker 1>are doing something that they love and actually can make

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:16.600
<v Speaker 1>a living by doing it. So we're gonna meet Anthony

0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:20.400
<v Speaker 1>and a Deal from Able Coffee Roasters. Listen to this.

0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:24.200
<v Speaker 1>They're working with special needs kids and communities. They've been

0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:26.560
<v Speaker 1>doing for ten years and they saw there was a

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:31.640
<v Speaker 1>need for employment opportunities for people with disabilities, and so

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 1>they came up with a concept that helps solve that problem.

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 1>A Deal and Anthony, good morning, how are you?

0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 4>Hey, Good morning, good, how are you.

0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:47.680
<v Speaker 1>We're excited to meet both of you because I just

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 1>I think this concept is so cool. First of all,

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:52.320
<v Speaker 1>you've got organic coffee, which I find hard to find

0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.960
<v Speaker 1>good organic coffee. I think that's it for me.

0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:59.640
<v Speaker 4>It's difficult, definitely, definitely, yeah, yeah, yeah, But.

0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 1>You're doing something really great. What made you decide to

0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 1>open up this coffee shop and create a safe space

0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:08.720
<v Speaker 1>for people with disabilities to work?

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:12.200
<v Speaker 5>Well, I think I could answer that. I know A

0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:16.080
<v Speaker 5>Deal can too. But my name's Anthony Palmery and I'm

0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.360
<v Speaker 5>one of the founders of Able Coffee Roasters and my

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.800
<v Speaker 5>background up until last year, I was a high school

0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:25.320
<v Speaker 5>special at teacher, in Irvine Unified School District in Orange County,

0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 5>which I absolutely loved, and A Deal worked in my

0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:33.600
<v Speaker 5>classroom with me, and we just saw there was such

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:38.640
<v Speaker 5>a lack of job opportunities for our students after they

0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 5>left us because A Deal and I taught high school

0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:45.360
<v Speaker 5>and we taught individuals on the moderate to severe spectrum,

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:53.080
<v Speaker 5>and we had them volunteering and turning as part of

0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:57.280
<v Speaker 5>their school day at you know, different job sites like Albertson's,

0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:00.720
<v Speaker 5>like a grocery store or a mort pizza Lovely, they're

0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.959
<v Speaker 5>so accommodying it another great business and we just saw,

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.080
<v Speaker 5>like we started thinking, We're like, well, you know what,

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:10.040
<v Speaker 5>it would be great to create that opportunity for them ourselves,

0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:13.560
<v Speaker 5>especially since we heard from their parents after they left

0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.080
<v Speaker 5>from us that you know, they were struggling finding jobs

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 5>and you know, just opportunities for their students. And we

0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:22.680
<v Speaker 5>still see that now, you know, as as employers, you know,

0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 5>as we have two coffee shops.

0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Now, I'm just curious to know how what are the

0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:30.680
<v Speaker 1>customers respond with how do they feel because you've got

0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 1>this coffee shop, You've got these these folks with you know,

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 1>disabilities working in there with a happiness to them, I'm

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:42.120
<v Speaker 1>sure as they give people what they love every day,

0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 1>which is great coffee, what's the reaction.

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, So you know when we get our customers coming in,

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:52.040
<v Speaker 4>we have our regulars and you know, you could kind

0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:56.160
<v Speaker 4>of just tee like their their excitement they come in

0:03:56.320 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 4>specifically for you know, certain baristas and certain cashiers is

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 4>that you know they've developed day to day relationships. You know,

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:06.440
<v Speaker 4>coffee is a big culture no matter where you are,

0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:10.240
<v Speaker 4>especially especially coffee. You know, we row small batch, single

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:13.360
<v Speaker 4>origin beings from a lot of different farms that we

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 4>source from, you know, in different countries like Columbia, Guatemala, Ethiopia,

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 4>and so those customers, you know, they truly feel we're

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.920
<v Speaker 4>all about inclusions, and you know that's that's what they

0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 4>really feel when they're there. They come in with their

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:33.039
<v Speaker 4>families or friends. Some of our locations are in like

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 4>a housing you know, like an apartment building, so we

0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:39.000
<v Speaker 4>have a lot of local residents that come down. Another

0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:43.320
<v Speaker 4>one of our locations is right across Calculate Sports and University,

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:45.760
<v Speaker 4>so we have a lot of students, staff and admin

0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.799
<v Speaker 4>and you know they're just they're excited, obviously, like you said,

0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:51.200
<v Speaker 4>to get coffee their day to day you know, drink

0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:52.920
<v Speaker 4>and fuel to get them through the day. But then

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:56.880
<v Speaker 4>obviously just seeing more staff, you know, the ones that

0:04:56.920 --> 0:05:00.880
<v Speaker 4>are working, the kind of registers greeting them, practicing those

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:04.200
<v Speaker 4>social skills and just kind of like a safe environment

0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:07.279
<v Speaker 4>for them to be. That's awesome. That's been amazing to see.
