Warning. This podcast is FUNNY. Hilarious funny. Magical.

You've heard people tell you before to chase your dreams. But, few people actually do that, especially if they have a good career lined up in front of them.

Meet Ryan Nelson.

He actually left his career as a lawyer to pursue his passions of comedy, writing, and general creativity.

What compelled Ryan to leave the comfy law firm life and start a multi-media company called Clydesdale Manhattan and an apparel company called Wicked Bass?

We wanted to know and wanted to see how the journey is going. As you'll listen you will understand why Ryan made the move. You can tell he's happy tapping into his creativity.

This is a great combo episode. We talk not only about chasing your dreams, but we get a chance to talk about the outdoors as well. It's The Brewmance and GO Show (our outdoor-focused show) working together.

The Brewmance brings people together for well-crafted conversation over a drink or two.

We met Ryan through Brian Helton, owner of Helton Brewing. Since Brian introduced us, we sip on Helton's Northeast IPA during our conversation.

Brian Helton, owner of Helton Brewing in Phoenix, AZ, talks about the importance of having mentors on The Brewmance podcast.

Ironically, Brian is mentoring us all while sharing those lessons. Brian is just one of those guys. He loves to share his knowledge with others, whether that's an up-and-coming brewer, beer drinkers, or other business owners.

Brian also has stepped back from brewing craft beer so he can focus completely on his business owner role.

If you are a small business owner you will learn a lot from Brian.

The Brewmance brings people together for well-crafted conversation over a drink or two. This week we grabbed a growler of Helton Brewing's Spaced Out IPA.

We also talk with Brian about his beer, how canning helped the brewery during COVID, and other lessons learned during the pandemic.

Join us and enjoy.

That man is firearm inventor John Browning.

Author Nathan Gorenstein says Browning should be in the class of other inventors like Thomas Edison and the Wright Brothers.

Gorenstein joins The Brewmance this week to chat about his new book, The Guns Of John Moses Browning.

It's the first real in-depth look at the man who created the designs most modern guns are based on.

Browning was revolutionary says, Gorenstein.

No matter how you feel about firearms, you'll enjoy this look at the reclusive man behind them and how his inventions started World War I and ended World War II.

This week Mike and Rob sip on Historic Brewing's (Flagstaff, AZ) Salt River salt and lime lager.

Was there anything positive that came out of the pandemic? Yes, there was. Mike Russell and Rob Hunter discuss the power of 'me time' and family and time over a beer on this week's Brewmance podcast/radio show.

Mike and Rob grab Half Acre Brewing's Tome Hazy IPA this week as they also discuss Arizona's new to-go cocktail law.

Is it really a good idea?

Mike's not a fan. Rob is. But, their disagreement isn't about the law. Take a listen.

The Brewmance also discusses how Mike is handing his new puppy.

Meet Grant. He's the creator, writer, and producer of My Funeral Home Stories. He's an all-around dope human.

Grant is a drummer. He's put out an album and he works on the syndicated JohnJay & Rich radio show.

Mike Russell and Rob Hunter wanted to talk to one of the most unique individuals you will meet, Grant Inman. On The Brewmance podcast, we bring people together for well-crafted conversation over a drink or two. Grant doesn't drink anymore. Instead, he smokes weed.

We ask him about that too. This is a very fun, very unfiltered conversation. If cuss words aren't your thing, you may want to skip this podcast.

But, don't. It's fun. Cheers.
