Working On One Of Puerto Rico's Last Cacao Farms

Taji Ameen takes a job working the land at Hacienda Jeanmarie Chocolat, a small cacao farm tucked into the hills of Puerto Rico. He’s not alone—joining him is Hunter Durham, a friend with his own bankruptcy backstory and no stranger to starting over. Together, they trade deadlines for dirt, figuring out how to ferment cacao while quietly confronting what it means to rebuild from scratch. The reset works—sort of. Eventually, the quiet gives way to momentum, and Taji finds himself back in New York, where a reunion with longtime friend and artist Coolr The Don brings the whole thing full circle. From financial collapse to farming to reconnection, this episode maps one of Taji’s strangest detours yet—and the unlikely path that got him there.
