Today on the podcast I’m sharing my conversation with professor and cocoa scholar Dr. Kristy Leissle. She literally wrote the book when it comes to the cocoa and chocolate industry– her book Cocoa explores the cocoa world from a variety of angles.
Dr. Leissle is unique because of the perspectives that she takes in learning about and researching the the industry. I really enjoyed getting to ask her a few lingering questions that I had after finishing her book. Here’s our conversation– we discussed everything from trade justice to her work at the Cocoapreneurship Institute of Ghana.
This is our third podcast episode in this month’s Impactfull series. Check out the rest of the series at www.impactfull.novelhand.com.
