Spiked ice keeps your drink cold without diluting it.

In this Episode I got the chance to speak to Spencer Pupp of Spikes Ice. Hear how this frozen beverage was able to get crowd funding and start growing across a couple of states in a few short years.

"Because of Spikes' alcohol content, Twyman and Gettelfinger had to get approval to sell it from state and federal regulators. At the federal level, that's the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. Getting a distributor's license took more time than they expected."

With well over 75,000 vacant lots, Detroit has become the place to bee! These vacant lots are serving as pollinator habitats providing food security and shelter free from chemicals. Detroit Hives, Inc; a 501c3 nonprofit is working to transform these vacant lots into bee farms for the education and conservation of pollinators. In less than two years we have educated well over 1 million people on the importance of bees, expanded in seven locations with 35 beehives buzzing in the City of Detroit.

In this episode I sat down with @DJMOBEATZ, Big Seans official Dj. Mo Beatz explained how he has put in his 10,000 hours in the industry. He always knew he wanted to be a DJ, he just had to play the long game and not the Short one.

Anything worth doing, is worth doing it to perfection and not instant gratification.
