In his book, The Power of Strangers, Joe Keohane sets out on a journey to discover what happens when we bridge the distance between us and people we don’t know. He learns that while we’re wired to sometimes fear, distrust, and even hate strangers, people and societies that have learned to connect with strangers benefit immensely.

In this conversation, we will speak with Joe about the importance of strangers, relationships, and how you can build a community at your brewery.

Joe Keohane is the author of The Power of Strangers: The Benefits of Connecting in a Suspicious World--which was somehow called "possibly life-changing" by both Kirkus Reviews and bestselling author Kurt Andersen. He's also the coauthor of The Lemon, one of the most anticipated novels of 2023, which prompted Bob Odenkirk to comment, "I loved it." Keohane is a veteran journalist who has worked as an editor at Medium, Esquire, Entrepreneur, and Hemispheres. His writing—on everything from politics, to travel, to social science, business, and technology—has appeared in New York magazine, The Boston Globe, The New Yorker, Wired, Boston magazine, and The New Republic. He is currently at work adapting The Lemon for television, and lives in New York with his family.

Based in Williamsburg, the Virginia Beer Company was started by two William and Mary alumni who wanted to create a force for good in the form of a brewery. Their company slogan is 'Beer - People - Purpose' and they actively work with dozens of nonprofits and support charities that are close to their team and communities. They recently finished a rebrand that was over a year in the making, and includes the addition of a new flagship beer. The rebrand comes not too long after officially expanding distribution to touch every part of the state of Virginia. They truly want to be known as Virginia's craft brewery.

In this session, we will be joined by co-founders Chris Smith and Robby Wiley to discuss their evolution, need for constant innovation, and future.

Chris and Robby met while attending The College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. After several years of post-graduation corporate drudgery they took fate into their own hands by returning to their college roots and co-founding The Virginia Beer Company. Over the past seven years the brewery has become a mainstay across Virginia through steadfast dedication to their three core tenets: Beer • People • Purpose. Robby oversees sales and marketing efforts, taproom operations, and community partnerships, while Chris handles operations, finance and accounting, and export sales.

In this talk, we will discuss the wide range of benefits for both breweries and brewers, when brewhouse staff creates video content for Youtube and other social media platforms. Creating video content for YouTube is a great way for brewers to connect with their customers, build their personal brand, and differentiate the company's brand from the competition. Launching this type of initiative does not require significant capital expenditure, and the rewards can be significant. I will explain the path I took in my content creation journey, and present the blueprint I used to grow my online presence.
