Experience Milwaukee

This is not an episode only about beer. Well, ok, we talk a lot about beer. In the context of what it's like to start something. Something big. So it's not just about beer, it's about perseverance and the startup process. And why Milwaukee is a great place for both. You'll be inspired and learn about some of Joe's Milwaukee favs.

This episode, recorded with a live audience, provides great insight into what it's like to start and grow a tech company in Wisconsin. Kurt graciously shares his vision and methodology for the type of company he and his team are building. As Kurt says, "Exiting is not part of our vocabulary. Building a legacy is part of our vocabulary!" How do you get there? Listen in as Matt walks us through the interview with ease even while fighting off a nasty cold. 

Lindsey McKee, Communications Manager from VISIT Milwaukee, and apparently a frequent podcast crasher, has so much good to share this week. Check out comedy in a brewery, a tour of Southern Italy at Glorioso's new Appetito, the season's first rooftop opening, St. Patrick's Day shenanigans, some Phantom, and more! 

This week the Democratic National Committee (DNC) selected Milwaukee as the site of its national convention in July, 2020. With that kind of spotlight on the city, we chatted with Paul Upchurch, CEO of VISIT Milwaukee, to learn a bit about what went on behind the scenes to make it happen. We also touch on what to expect from an event of this magnitude, tourism marketing, what brought Paul to Milwaukee, and more.

This week it's everything you've ever wanted to know about floating at Float Milwaukee. Plus, get the scoop on how Bowls restaurant came to be.  They're both great Milwaukee experiences. Oh, Adam shares his list of what's happening as well. It's a long one, so jump in and out as you need. And boy did we get a little out of hand at times. Thanks for listening!
