This episode features Kelly Johnson @kellyfastruns and special guests Dan and Tamara Sloan @themillcoffeeandtea. Tamara and Dan are the owners of The Mill Coffee & Tea—a beloved small-batch coffee roaster, espresso bar, and community gathering space that’s been serving Lincoln, Nebraska since 1975.

What started as a simple idea—improving the quality of coffee in a local bike shop—has grown into one of the most iconic coffee institutions in the region. Today, The Mill spans multiple locations, roasting its own coffee, serving handcrafted drinks, and creating spaces where people come together to connect, work, and build relationships.
