Kirk Pearson
Kirk Pearson is one of the Founders of Project Zero Coffee, a coffee brand based in Melbourne that combines the latest technology with world-class coffee, all in a fun inviting environment. Kirk has worked for many of Australia's world leading coffee roasters learning from the best of the best. With a journalism degree he never put into good use, Kirk decided to combine his love for coffee and his journalism abilities to begin podcasting. Kirk's first podcast was the Sub-Zero Coffee Podcast that interviewed leading coffee professionals across the world. He joined forces with the team at Golden Brown Coffee to form one of the world's leading coffee podcasts that has interviewed leading coffee voices and has just returned from its first international trip to Dubai. Kirk is often outspoken in most discourse within the coffee industry and highly motivated in business. In one year, Project Zero Coffee has grown to be a destination café in Melbourne with another store on the way and plans for international expansion. At his core, he's on optimist and someone who has devoted his life to specialty coffee.
