Yesterday at the OWEE Conference was awesome! Excited about expanding Crescent City Cafe in New Orleans to a pay-what-you-can cafe. Learning a ton and meeting some amazing people from all walks of life.
Our speakers from yesterday were amazing! We heard from:
- Lyn Harwell from Seeds Community Cafe
- Melinda Foster from Open Table Community Cafe
- Rochelle Bayless from Grace Cafe
- Robert Egger from LA Kitchen
Thank you for your inspiration and extremely practical advice.

It looks like you are in touch with some genuine visionaries. “From all walks of life”. I especially am intrigued with the “pay-what-can-cafe” concept.
TOday I did my annual reading of MLK Jr. Words, because of the holiday. His words are still relevant, but I am finding that history is still going forward, and some of the issues of the 1960’s have been overcome in big ways.
Keep up the good work, Adam.

Jack, yes indeed, it was a conference full of visionaries! It was awesome! I loved being around these amazing people.
Yeah, the various pay-what-you-can cafes do it a little different, but SAME Cafe is one of the legends. Check them out here: https://youtu.be/wsq2qAin2Bk
What do you read annually on MLK Jr. Day? I’d love to do something like that.
