Episode 171: Know when it's time to start a new adventure - Lauren Schelfhaudt & Jean Paulovich

Author: Joe Yang April 14, 2021 Duration: 44:28
Many of us are devoted to our careers. But a number of us will feel the need to open a new chapter in our lives, and set off on a vastly different path. Facing such a moment can be scary. And if that thought hits close to home, then this episode's for you! My guests today have a very interesting story. They were both professional ballroom dancers who had won both US and World Championship titles. But after 20 + years of dancing, which involved strenuous training and multiple competitions, they decided it was time to make a huge life change. They dove deep into the world of coffee roasting, and ended up building a coffee business. And in 2018, they officially launched Dancing Ox Coffee Roasters. Their coffee, which is mainly dance-themed, is available online, and also in cafes, restaurants, and bars all around the US. And yes, they do make a tango-themed coffee, in case you were wondering. Let's meet Lauren Schelfhaudt and Jean Paulovich... More on Lauren and Jean (and Dancing Ox) here: Website: https://www.dancingoxcoffee.com/ Want to help support Joe's Tango Podcast?

There’s a moment in learning Argentine tango when the steps start to fade into feeling, and the real journey begins. Joe's Tango podcast lives in that space, created by Joe Yang for anyone who has felt that initial spark and wants to understand what lies beneath the dance. Rather than offering instruction, this series pulls up a chair for conversations with the people who shape the tango world-internationally renowned instructors, thoughtful event organizers, and the musicians whose work gives the dance its soul. Each discussion aims to uncover the deeper insights and unspoken philosophies that turn a series of movements into a lifelong passion. You’ll hear stories about connection, culture, and the personal challenges that even experts face, all with a warmth that makes every episode feel like a chat among friends. This isn’t about quick tips; it’s about feeding the curiosity that keeps you returning to the dance floor. Tango, as Joe’s guests often reveal, is as much about listening and personal growth as it is about technique. Tune into this podcast for a regular dose of perspective and motivation, a companion for your own path in a dance that never truly ends.
