Episode 88 of Crisis Management with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna look at how a mid-sized specialty coffee roaster in Portland survived the 2025 arabica price spike that hit $4.30 per pound. They walk through the moment green-coffee costs tripled, the week the CFO froze new supplier contracts, and the decision to launch a subscription model that shifted risk back to the consumer. Along the way they touch on how JOLTS data for May 2026 shows 7.6 million job openings, a tight labor market that forced the roaster to retain staff through the crunch, and why the VIX at 16.6 suggests markets are calm but commodity volatility remains high. #CoffeeRoaster #CommodityShock #SupplyChain #SubscriptionModel #PricingStrategy #Hedging #LaborMarket #JOLTS #VIX #SmallBusiness #Portland #Arabica #CrisisManagement #BusinessSurvival #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EconomicCrisis #CostManagement Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
