February 13, 2024 Deadbeats for Life with Sheldon Fuller: Taking life less seriously, building a life you love, acceptance of self and others
Sheldon Fuller found his purpose in an unexpected place... the barber shop. Ever since he took a risk and took on a career as a professional barber, he has opened his own shop in Boerne, TX, and is using his chair to help encourage positivity, acceptance, and an attitude of taking things a little less serious to his community. Host, Zach Jewell and Sheldon had similar experiences of not feeling accepted by peers, and finding their voices in music from the likes of Metallica, Pantera, NOFX, and others along that vein, which was the catalyst toward a path of self understanding for them both.
This episode pairs well with a classic Miller light or Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing IPA

January 09, 2024 Lifting Lucy: Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice in the Breweries and Beyond
Ashlie Randolph and Tre Watts Run an amazing organization called Lifting Lucy, which is "dedicated to creating a future where the hospitality sector, particularly the craft brewing industry, not only reflects the diversity of our communities, but actively contributes to the empowerment and sustainable success of women of color at every level of the professional hierarchy." DEIJ is more than just a buzzword you have heard around the office, and today's conversation scratches the surface in what is hopefully only part one of a dialogue about the importance of open conversation and awareness about what diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice really means.
