The Story of Bald Guy Brew with Don Cox
The Real Boone Podcast
Episode notes
Don Cox, founder of Bald Guy Coffee in Boone, NC, shares his journey of faith, failure, and building something that lasts. From coming to Boone in the '80s "to fish" to a traumatic brain injury that ended his ministry career, Don talks about how coffee became both a calling and a lifeline. We cover roasting beans off the grid, losing everything in a fire, rebuilding from the ground up, and why Watauga County "wouldn't let him go out of business." An honest, funny, and deeply human conversation about resilience, community, and doing the work one faithful step at a time.
