  • 461: Coffee, Capital, and Courage, How Bob Bush Jr. is Building a Global Movement with Mutombo Coffee
    Feb 11 2026

    This week's Misfit Entrepreneur is Bob Bush Jr. As a senior investment executive with over $30 billion in global transactions under his belt, Bob has done business around the world—from New York to Nairobi, from Beijing to the Middle East.

    But what makes him truly special is how he's brought his Wall Street expertise into the world of impact-driven entrepreneurship as the co-founder of Mutombo Coffee. Partnering with Hall of Famer Dikembe Mutombo, Bob is building more than a coffee company—he's creating a global movement around ethical sourcing, circular economies, and sustainable investing.

    I'm excited to dig into how values and profit can go hand in hand, what it takes to scale a business across continents, and why risk might be your best teacher.

  • 460: Lessons For Hannah - George Washington's Timeless Rules for Leading Well
    Feb 4 2026

    Hello Misfit Entrepreneurs! Welcome to another edition of "Lessons for Hannah!"

    Many years ago, I introduced a new format that alongside our regular episodes called "Lessons for Hannah." Hannah is my daughter and one of the main inspirations for the Misfit Entrepreneur. I wanted to have a place where she could go and learn from her daddy and his Misfit friends throughout her life….even after I am gone. If you haven't listened to the first episode of "Lessons for Hannah," I urge you to as it gives some more background and tells the amazing story of how Hannah came to be in our lives.

    Lessons for Hannah are short, very useful, and sometimes comical lessons, that I want to share with you and give to Hannah to help in your lives. Because I want Hannah to have these for her life, I'm going to speak as though I am talking directly to her. These episodes are a lot of fun and if you think there is a lesson that we should include in these episodes, please don't hesitate to send it over to us at support@misfitentrepreneur.com. We'd love to share it.
