More than you thought possible
Year-to-year effectiveness beats day-to-day effort. Speak your hopes out loud over fifty Coffees and you'll arrive somewhere you couldn't have planned.
How it works
It's not really about the Coffee.
Spend an hour informally, in any location, with any drink, with one person at a time. Repeat fifty times. Real cafe, kitchen table, Zoom call. The form doesn't matter. The conversations do.
"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."

"Marc Winn's 50 Coffee Adventure is one of those rare experiences that reminds you how powerful simple, human connection can be. What began as a series of conversations over coffee becomes something much deeper, a living experiment in curiosity, courage, and community."
"Life-changing read with a simple premise: connect (and coffee) with 50 people, be open and collaborative and proactive about the change you want to see in the world, and off the positive momentum of those connections, it will have its best chance of becoming a reality, the roadmap is here."
"The first part of this book really does open the mind to what could be possible. It's a deep dive into discovering your own purpose, passion and mission, amazingly beautifully reflective."
"An easy-to-follow guide to creating transformation one coffee at a time."

Join the Facebook groupWhat exactly is The 50 Coffee Adventure?
It's a simple personal challenge: invite fifty people for a coffee, one conversation at a time. The book is your playbook, prompting you who to call, what to ask, and how to let the adventure unfold.
Do I have to drink coffee?
Not at all. Coffee is shorthand for an hour of undivided attention. Tea, a walk, a video call, a pint after work, anything that creates space for a real conversation counts.
How long does the adventure take?
Most people stretch their fifty coffees across three to six months. There is no deadline. The point is the quality of each conversation, not the speed of the streak.
Who should I invite?
Old friends, people you admire from afar, someone you keep meaning to thank, a stranger whose work intrigues you. The book includes prompts to help you build your list when you get stuck.
Is there a community I can join?
Yes. There is an active Facebook group where readers share their adventures, swap prompts, and cheer each other on.
Where can I buy the book?
Paperback is available on Amazon UK and Amazon US. Links are at the top and bottom of this page.
