Patterson and Yeo talk about the Kore Directive, the Singapore coffee community, and so much more. "Since last year, I got so much more comfortable with discussing the uncomfortable with people," Yeo tells Patterson. "I'm always the girl with anti-racism in her bio and talking about it all the time. Since being back to Singapore, as you've mentioned, I think I've come to terms with that aspect of my history now and my identity."

Innovation makes our jobs safer and keeps longevity in our industry.”
