Once I was alone, depressed, and suicidal. One small act of kindness, a cup of coffee bought for me, totally changed my life. Today, I search for opportunities to serve those same acts of kindness and encouragement to people who need it most with my book, or with a simple cup of coffee brewed just for them.
Tim Stiffler-Dean, Founder of the online coffee finding community Brew The Way, has been working in coffee for nearly 5 years as a barista, and has pursued a career as an entrepreneur for more than a decade.

Hello all!
I've got some exciting news as we head into the second half of the campaign to see this book published. :)
First, I am thrilled to announce a new video has been created to share the ideas and mission behind this book, and I really hope you all like it. If you do, please share! It only takes a moment of your time (a moment that I am very grateful to have), but it could have a profound impact on the outcome of the campaign.
Second, I have had the great honor of being interviewed for "The Shizzle", an online publication that explores the world of modern publishing techniques over at Medium.com. It's only a 7 minute read, but the interview (<- link) lays out in detail all of the ideas I've had going into the creation of this book. Let me know what you think!
Finally, we're only 14 days away to the end!
I haven't done much in the way of updating everyone on this campaign, but that's changing during this second half of the campaign cycle. There's been a lot going on, and a lot in the works, and you all deserve to know exactly what's up. Don't worry, you won't be spammed, but if you keep up with me on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, you'll definitely know what's going on with progress on the book.
I can't thank you all enough for all of your support. Please drop me a line anytime if you have ideas, comments, or questions at tim@brewtheway.com. If you have not pre-ordered your copies of the book yet, just hit that button below and Publishizer will lead you through the (very short) process.
Cheers!
