Coffee connects us in so many ways - to each other, to our senses, and to the earth that supports the coffee trees.
Rohan Marley
The idea of a memoir is to tell the truth. I know that often the truth hurts, but a lie hurts even more.
When you're the voice who represents our music and our family, it's an amazing, and a huge, responsibility. I am able to not only be an ambassador for my own family but for everyone.
People expected me to be creative and true to myself. In that way, I follow my father's footsteps.
Growing up Marley, we wanted anything we put our hands on to be beneficial to the environment and the community.
I remember my grandmother drying wild coffee berries in the sun, then hulling and roasting them for her own cup of coffee each morning.
We grew up understanding how the analog sound is a driving force for music.
We, as the Marley family, won't be responsible for destroying the community.
When you pick up a House of Marley product, it's not just about the music; it's also about how it's created.
It speaks truth when you listen to Bob Marley.
With the House of Marley, over the years we've been trying to establish ourselves not just as a brand but a lifestyle movement. So it's been a challenge to get people to adapt to our new way of thinking. We're all about sustainability, the natural life, the eco life.
Tuff Gong is the name of our father's enterprise, and we're continuing his legacy.
To play my father, his struggles, and how he overcame it all would require you to bring tears to my eyes. It has to be one of his sons. And we're not, none of us, in Hollywood.
Marley Coffee is dedicated to my father's dream to return to the farmlands, to offer our family treasures to the world.
I just love Ottawa because I was able to develop a lot of things, my own character as a man.
What a great partnership: Marley Coffee and BikeCaffe, bringing organic coffee in an earth-friendly vehicle to our customers.
My father was the first entrepreneur in the family. He started his own record label, his own restaurant. He knew that, in order to give something back to the people, he had to create.
The beauty of the Stir It Up lies in its ecological balance. We're bringing high quality, earth-friendly materials together with innovative design. The result is powerful sound and a stylish look for the new turntable.
My father was not just a man, but a spirit dancer. You have to come with that vibration, and it is not something you can act.
My goal is to continue to build Marley Coffee distribution and add our own stand-alone retail stores.
At the University of Miami in the U.S., people thought I was there only because I was Bob Marley's son. I had to prove myself on the football field and soon earned the respect of my peers.
I want to be the one to make a change, like when my father started his music. It's about the message. Coffee is a vehicle to create change.
I'm used to going out amongst giants and being the smallest linebacker.
The benefits of organic coffee are significant, as chemical-free soil is good soil. This extends to healthy trees which result in good beans with greater antioxidants and less chemical residues.
Naturally healthy soil can sustain coffee crops for generations to come. All of this contributes to the quality of the bean.
My football career was so filled with energy and impactful, as a University of Miami player and the things I did in Canada, that I left a good mark. I left a good impression.
What is special about the House of Marley is that it's my father's vision that guides our production process.
My son, he understands being an athlete and being a student-athlete and how important it is that those two things go hand in hand.
From the very beginning at Marley Coffee, we have appreciated the importance of growing our beans sustainably.
I love being Bob Marley's son because he's a great man.
Our father was a farmer and an entrepreneur as well as a musician, and we're pleased to deliver the fine taste of Jamaican coffee and our family's heritage to people everywhere through Marley's One Drop.
I like hitting people. The best feeling is when you hit so hard, pow! You get a jarring headache.
When you're growing up in Jamaica and you don't have much, and then you gain more and more... you can now share the more that you have with the people that have less because you know what less is like.
I can't sing anything like my dad.
I knew that if I could create a quality product and find the proper retail outlets, it would be a great company.
The Marley name resonates all around the world.
What I do is provide a quality product with a quality taste, that's sustainable, and present it with a proper price structure so when people see it on the shelves, they will want to try it.
My father had no fear. He wasn't afraid of any man on earth.
I don't fear death. If it happens, it was meant to happen.
I fear nothing. I fly around and do things a guy 6-2 and 240 would not do. That gives me an edge.
Everybody listens to Bob Marley. It gives you an inner feeling to keep pushing on. It's an education on life. He helps me out every day. It gives me a deep-down feeling.
The House of Marley started with the concept of working together for a better world.
My nickname was Tarzan: I found my food in the jungle; I hunted birds.
I can't stand losing.
I never accept losing - no way.
I don't like losing. I don't want to lose. I don't want to be associated with losers.
You can't be no philanthropist, no Warren Buffett, unless you make something first.
I'm Bob's son. He's my inspiration. What can I give back to the community?
I know a lot of people respect my father. They listen to what he said. It makes me want to strive more and more to be the best I can.
I was too aggressive. Too angry.
