In this debut episode of TheFixers Podcast, host Amrita Kumar talks with Jeff Abella of MOKA Origins, an ethical chocolate and coffee company based in Honesdale, Pennsylvania. Jeff shares how MOKA Origins is closing the gap between consumers and cacao farmers—many of whom historically earn less than $1 a day.
Listeners will learn how Jeff's work in Cameroon and beyond is helping reshape broken supply chains, support farmer-owned cooperatives, and reframe chocolate as a specialty food rooted in dignity and transparency.
Jeff also shares lessons he has learned as an entrepreneur. He recommends the following books: Good to Great, Jim Collins; Business Made Simple, Donald Miller; Day Trading Attention, Gary Vaynerchuk.
