#11 - Matthieu Galizia - Cathedral Coffee, Connection, & Open To Opportunities.

Matthieu Galizia is the director of operations for the BEST coffee shop in Portland, Oregon. Cathedral Coffee is my frequent neighborhood stop to grab a cold brew and be productive. Cathedral is a special place to me as it is where I have spent a lot of time working on myself, my writing, and the podcast.

In this episode, we get into the history of Cathedral Coffee, what is such a special place, and most all get to have a long conversation with the legend! Outside of coffee, Matthieu shares his experience of creating. Content creation, music, writing, building out creative projects within the hospitality industry.

We also discuss why connection means so much to both of us, who he looks up to, his world travels, learning languages, and building a homestead outside of the city with his family.

I have always connected with Matthieu during my time spent at Cathedral Coffee. He always finds a way to fill my cup. In life even more than the cold brew I always order. He is an amazing human. I am excited to share his story just as much as I was to sit down with him for Cathedral after hours.

If you are enjoying these podcast conversations make sure you sign up for my weekly newsletter which is bryantferate.substack.com and at @BryantFerate on instagram and share this someone you may think would be impacted by this episode or an article from the newsletter!

Grateful For This Process, the people who have reached out to gas me up, and for this conversation.

Best Day of The Year Until Tomorrow…
