Send Whiskey | It Gets Weird Sometimes

I personally think that a lot of entrepreneurs are in some way holding on to the childlike wonder for the world that they had growing up, because it takes a lot of imagination and childlike optimism to believe you can create the world you want to live in. In this episode, I talk about how and why I had to grow up quickly, and how I think that shaped me into who I am today.

We’re reviving the Send Whiskey Podcast, y’all. But it’s going to have a different flavor. It’s just me, Andi Whiskey, sharing weird stories of when life gets weird sometimes. We’ll have guests on occasionally to share their own stories of when life got weird. It’ll be somewhat about running businesses, but mostly about making big life decisions and the hard things about being forced to make those hard decisions sometimes, and where they’ve taken me and my guests.

This episode is a bit about how I got into business at 16 years old, thanks to my dad teaching me how to code my own web sites at 8 years old. I got my first web design client for $1600, and it set me on the path to be self-employed the rest of my working life.

Future episodes, we'll have guests to share their stories. For now, stay tuned to hear more about the hard thing about doing life outside the systems.

Andi & Nemo got to sit down with Robby @theeangrybartender to talk about being an Instagram bartender and how he grew his account.

Robby has been an entertaining follow for a while. Lately, he's exploring all the classic cocktails with Fernet as the base, and, uh. Well it's been interesting.

Go give him a follow.

Thanks for listening, as always, friends.

Andi & Nemo got to sit down with Ravin Buzzell, GM of Bezel here in Denver, CO to talk about his experience at Tales of the Cocktail.

Ravin has had an interesting journey getting to where he is now, and we talked about what that looked like and some of what he's learned along the way.

He's running one of the best cocktail programs in Denver that you don't know about yet, so listen up and make sure to check it out and say hi to Ravin when you go in.

Evren joined us for another episode! We're still not sure why he keeps coming back.

We talked about (and got to try) some bad cocktail recipes off of Instagram this time around. 0/10, would not recommend.

Nemo & Andi Whiskey sat down this week to talk about cocktail videos... the good, the bad, and a whole lot of ugly.

They critiqued some of the videos that distilleries are pushing on their home pages and talked about why you should be more careful with the content you create for your brand.

Austin Adamson of Ballmer Peak Distillery joined us for this episode to talk about his successes on social media, particularly with TikTok for his distillery. He's a master of the platform, so we're stoked to hear his tips and tricks for how he grew his audience there.

We also tried his new Bask Nomort, for better or worse... What a trip. Give the episode a listen, and if you're ever in Colorado, hunt 'em down and give their spirits a try.

Andi and Nemo had the pleasure of chatting with Elissa, @the.badass.bartender and AJ, @thehobbydrinkchef, both online bartenders about their experience.... online bartending.

We all decided our biggest pet peeve about home bartenders are the ridiculous garnishes.

And we learned that Canada is strict with their alcohol influencer posts.
