092: Tim Herbel—the “Accept-ional” Not Your Average Joe coffee shop employee





































Tim Herbel watched his nephew, born with cerebral palsy and hydrocephalus, be excluded at school, in the community, and at church and vowed he would spend his life championing the cause for inclusion for people like him. That opportunity came in the form of a not-for-profit coffee shop named Not Your Average Joe.
In this episode of the Spirit of Leading podcast, Tim tells how he made the journey from preacher to champion for employing, what he calls “Accept-ional” people in a chain of coffee shops currently in Norman, Oklahoma City, and Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.
