• Ty & Kami Paluska (Intuition Coffee) - Episode 63
    Sep 25 2025

    There's just something special about the midwest. It has a way of pulling people back. ❤️

    In this episode, you'll hear our after-hours chat with Ty & Kami Paluska, owners of Intuition Coffee + Juice. While enjoying some "You Betcha" decaf coffee, we got to hear their story. From being part of launching Thirty-Thirty Coffee to heading out West, and then "following their intuition" back to Peoria.

    This conversation was such a joy, and we can't wait for you to hear it! Go get yourself some Intuition this week! ☕️
