Maybe its because I'm getting older but I feel like customer service is slowly dying. However, for those who still make it a focus, I believe it helps them to stand out in the crowd. And what if I told you a company who makes customer service also has the best quality AND prices? No brainer, right? Well, let me introduce you to my friends at Goodfellas Merch in Glendale. In this episode, I sit down with founder Joe to talk about how his love of craft beer and homebrewing translates into the passion he puts into his own craft as a screen printer. Enjoy the show!

In this episode, I hang out with Kinsey and Neal owners of Tap Truck AZ. Their truck is a 1966 Chevy C-10 Panel Truck with 5 tap handles protruding from the side of the truck. The tap handles have poured everything from Morning Sex Milk Stout from Beer Research Institute to root beer. Founders of the liquid catering company "Couple of Bartenders" Kinsey and Neal were looking to diversify their offerings to their clients and discovered the awesomeness that pouring straight from a badass truck could bring.
