Скачать или смотреть The Wild True Story Behind Interim Coffee | Ray Orate on Ponzi Schemes, the FBI, and Starting Over

Most coffee companies don’t start like this…

In this episode, Ray Orate, co-founder of Interim Coffee, shares the jaw-dropping story behind how the company was born. From working under a $450 million Ponzi scheme, to an unexpected FBI raid, to building a coffee business from the ground up with nothing but hustle, love for coffee, and a temporary name that stuck.

Ray walks us through the collapse of his former employer, the infamous Gina Champion-Cain scandal, and how he and his partner John pivoted overnight to keep their roasting business alive. What started as a placeholder “Interim Coffee” became the real deal.

This is a story about resilience, reinvention, and why sometimes the best things in life are born in the mess.
