Martin Mayorga was born in Guatemala and was raised in Nicaragua, which his family fled in the height of the revolution. They lived in Costa Rica and Peru before immigrating to the U.S.
Martin launched www.MayorgaOrganics.com with the goal of fixing an antiquated and inequitable coffee and food supply chain that has created systemic poverty throughout Latin America.
This podcast is Martin's venue to share what he's learned along the way as a father, immigrant, and successful entrepreneur--while having conversations with others who are also focused on making a positive impact on society.

35. Explaining the GameStop short squeeze to a 14 year old
Martin explains what happened with the GameStop stock to Nicky. Hopefully his helps some people gain a little insight into the mechanics of what happened and why it's so important.
***BTW, my quick mental math on the call options example was off. You could buy 500 call options @ $2 instead of only 100 shares at full price.

In today's episode Martin updates us on Mayorga's efforts to support those impacted by hurricanes Eta and Iota in Honduras, Guatemala, and Nicaragua. Mayorga's commitment to allocate online sales from the last weeks of 2020 to this endeavor allowed them to distribute basic food and water needs to those impacted. Now the Mayorga team is building homes for families displaced by extreme flooding
Martin and Nicholas also discuss Mayorga's new limited edition microlot coffee program to support producers who find themselves without a market for these unique coffees. Nicholas also offers a very generous discount for listeners.

33. The Cultivating Change podcast is back!!
After about three months of silence, we're back with another episode.
Martin speaks honestly about why he and Nicky took some time from recording podcasts and he introduces what will be the updated format: a broader range of topics centered around making a positive impact on society. Episodes will post every Wednesday and will have more guests from a wide range of industries and approaches to cultivating change. There will definitely still be conversations about coffee, the coffee industry, Latin America, poverty, organic food, and all the topics that have been important in the 23 years of building Mayorga Organics.
We welcome any feedback and recommendations for guests. Please email the podcast directly at Podcast@MayorgaOrganics.com and follow us on instagram at @MayorgaOrganics

Customer Reviews
Learning a lot from this podcast
I like the causal conversations that highlight some of the issues that small farmers are facing—and how a company like Mayorga is working so hard to do something about them. The staff interviews are really insightful. You can get a sense that the connection between everyone is real and that they realize they’re working toward something bigger than them as individuals
El Salvador coffee producer
Thank you guys for taking action, many people talks about the importance of coffee for the environment and communities jobs but not much people taking action like you guys, God bless keep on the god work being a voice from producers.
Great Find
This is a fantastic new podcast. I really love the authenticity and personality. I can't wait to hear what is in store for future episodes. This podcast gives behind the scenes, real-life stories of the coffee industry and personal history of Martin Mayorga (a pretty interesting dude). I highly reccomend.
