Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Sara Williams. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Sara, thanks for joining us today. We’d love to go back in time and hear the story of how you came up with the name of your brand?

One night we were all sitting around on the couch just making a list of things that we thought would make sense for a coffee venture like mocha madness etc. My daughter had overheard us having this conversation and started piping in. We had just recently moved from Washington and she kept naming off things that she knew and liked. Well none of it correlate with Arizona so we had to switched some of our thinking. Mountains turned yo rock formations. From there we had hoodoo!!!!
Hoodoo Brew was our winner!

Sara, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

We, my sister Cailyn and myself Are from Washington State. Cailyn and my other sister have been down here for a few years. I came down here to join the family. When we 1st moved I transferred with my job and I soon found out I was stuck in a work from home job with zero freedom. I wanted to be a part of the community and enjoy what Arizona had to offer with my family so we started thinking about our next step. Cailyn It is an entrepreneur running a couple businesses so coming up with ideas and helping out was just the ticket for her. Meanwhile for me it wasn’t that easy. I had always worked for a company and didn’t know anything about building a business.. this was terrifying but i just knew i needed something different.
Back up In Washington I was a successful wedding cake Baker and I tried doing that here but just didn’t have the same feeling since i didn’t know the people i was creating the desert for. That wasn’t going to stop me from using my talent. Our family had always talked about coffee carts.. This concept is very popular in Washington. Coffee on every corner so why not have that as an option here?? From there I stated making yummy coffee. I took my creativity and love for baking to a different level and started making my own drinks creations putting all of TALENTS into making recipes for our various menus.

How’d you meet your business partner?

My business partner is my sister Cailyn. This is Good and bad. Good because obviously we both want the best for each other and we can help grow our family’s success. However sometimes the bad part is that when you love someone it’s hard to always think clearly about sound business decisions.. We do have a lot of fun together at big events and Cailyn loves giving back and catering to the community! PS we’re also roommates at our property in Wiittmann so it’s a FULL full-time job!

Can you open up about a time when you had a really close call with the business?

One time when we were at an event we had a Near fatal experience. We were inside the coffee camper doing business as usual and Cailyn had glimpse out the window and saw a bunch of smoke. We obviously had no idea what was going on so we jumped out of the camper and looked to find out that are Electronic hitch head malfunction. The plastic casing had caught on fire!! In a mobile coffee business we have to provide our own power. So in the back of my pickup truck we bring our generator and haul propane. Luckily literally 2 days prior to this event we had just purchased a brand new fire extinguisher which came in handy just in time to not blow us up!!
