EPISODE 2: Space Rabbit Coffee — From Burnout to Boldness
In this inspiring episode, Jason sits down with Michael and Susan Bartlett, founders of Space Rabbit Coffee, to unpack the story behind one of the most original small-town coffee shops in America. But this isn’t just a tale of caffeine and creativity—it’s a raw and real conversation about burnout, reinvention, and bold faith.
Michael, a longtime pastor, shares the personal toll of giving so much to others without pausing to refill his own cup. Susan opens up about what it meant to step away from what was safe in order to pursue what was sacred. Together, they talk about launching Space Rabbit Coffee not just as a business, but as a beacon for community, healing, and joy.
In this episode, we explore:
- The invisible cost of burnout, even in “successful” roles
- What it looks like to trust God in a season of starting over
- How a shared dream became a shared mission
- Why bold steps often lead to deep relationships
- What “coffee with a purpose” really means
Whether you're leading a team, raising a family, or starting your own next chapter—this episode will stir your heart and spark your courage.
