Episode Notes

In the season two premiere of Cautious Coffee, Austin and DeRae delve into the complex topic of poverty. With over 1.2 billion people rising out of extreme poverty since 1990, the discussion centers on whether poverty can be seen as a blessing or an automatic curse.

The duo shares their own experiences of living below the poverty line in the United States and explore the ways in which poverty manifests differently around the world. They touch on the issue of global inequity, energy security, and examine how individuals have adopted a victor mentality to rise from poverty and even wear it as a badge of honor.

This episode offers a thoughtful and nuanced exploration of the complex issues surrounding poverty and the ways in which individuals and societies respond to it.
