Hatch Creatives

March Hatch Hangout
2020-03-22 16:30 - 18:00 (America/New_York) | Wells Coffee, 737 NE 2nd Ave, Fort Lauderdale, FL, 33304, United States
This month we’re asking the question, what drives you?
Each of us has dreams and passions we’re pursuing in our lives, but what is at the root of those desires? Hang out with Hatch as we chat with Nicole Wells, owner of Wells Coffee, as she shares her story of discovering what foundation needed to be in place for her to really flourish, not just as a business owner, but for every aspect of her life. We’ll also be discussing how marriage and family integrates with your work, and together, we’ll talk through how to build a healthy rule of life that’s personal to you.
We’ll be serving free Wells’ brewed coffee, with cold brew and iced horchata available for purchase. The event is free and space is limited.

About Wells Coffee:
“We began to see our love for coffee and the ritual around it come together, when the following Christmas we shared our fresh roasted beans as gifts under the brand “Wells Roast.” We launched a Kickstarter campaign in 2013 and thanks to its success, Wells Coffee Company was born. With the funds raised through the Kickstarter and the support of dear friends, we bought our first commercial roaster, linked up with a newly opened cafe in Boca Raton, hired our first full time team member, and began sharing the coffees we love with the neighborhood. In 2016, we acquired our own space in downtown Fort Lauderdale to expand our operation, and more recently, opened our brick and mortar to the public where we are able to spread our passion to see more people (as we like to say) Drink Deeply.”

Hatch Creatives is back! This past year has taught us all so many things, a few of them being the need for community and the importance of healthy rhythms in our lives.
What better way to share community than around coffee! Our first event of the year is at Wells Coffee, and we’ll be hearing from owner, Nicole Wells discuss rhythms with purpose in her life and business, and how to set them for yourself. We’ll also have an extended time of Q&A for Nicole, so come prepared with any questions you have for her!
A limited Wells Coffee menu will be offered. Drinks not included with admission price.
Space is limited–make sure to register!

About Nicole Wells:
Nicole and her husband Brandon, married for 20 years, moved from South Carolina to Florida in 2004 to help plant a church. They served as music leaders in churches and began a coffee roasting side hustle in 2014 while living in Boca Raton. This passion grew into Wells Coffee Company and became their full time work in 2017.
Wells Coffee revolves around the Wells’ family values to drink deeply, be present, and live life with integrity.
Nicole has been homeschooling her three daughters for 4 years. She doesn’t love the ‘boss babe’ stereotype, as nice as it sounds, and has found choosing her children over her work to be challenging in our culture.
“Rhythms of purposeful rest and recreation keep me sane.” – Nicole

About Keyla Bronté:
My passion for skincare didn’t begin until I myself struggled with severe Cystic Acne.
After seeing an Esthetician, seeing how passionate and determined she was to help me, I was inspired to do the same for others.

People can place too much value on an unobtainable quest for flawless skin. However, I truly believe that understanding why our skin reacts in certain ways and keeping up with your skincare routine does not have to be difficult. My mission is simply to enhance your natural beauty.
