The Connection with Jay Miralles

"Text now! I'll Respond"

They say the greatest lessons come from those who've lived through the unthinkable. That's why I am honored to share the microphone with Alvin Hayes, a World War II Navy veteran whose youthful enlistment at 17 opens a window to a bygone era of bravery and sacrifice. Together, we trace his father's World War I legacy and the influential tales of Pearl Harbor survivors that steered Al into the Navy's embrace. From the rustic simplicity of farm life to the stringent demands of military training, Alvin's journey is a vibrant homage to the spirit and values of a generation that indelibly shaped our world.

With a good-natured rivalry sparking between servicemen, the intensity of Navy SEAL training is brought to life in our heartfelt conversation. Alvin reminisces about the trials of boat handling and the grueling rigors of training, punctuated with humor that only those who've shared such experiences can truly appreciate. The story takes an intriguing twist as Alvin reveals the secretive transfer to Fort Pierce, Florida, and the makeshift 'barracks' that awaited them. It's a testament to the camaraderie and resilience that defines military life and the unspoken bonds that endure beyond the battlefield.

Imagine the anticipation of setting sail to unfamiliar waters, the discipline of military training, and the unwavering resolve in the face of imminent danger. Alvin's narrative sails us to uncharted territories, recounting the tension and meticulous preparations for deployment while giving us a stark reminder of the sacrifices made by those at sea. From the solemn Sundays aboard the ship to the nerve-wracking operations of armaments during kamikaze threats, Alvin's vivid storytelling captures the essence of a sailor's life during one of history's most pivotal moments. Join us as we honor the courage and dedication of not just Alvin Hayes, but an entire generation of warriors who answered their nation's call.

Picture yourself in an Air Force dorm room, the sweet scent of home-baked cakes wafting through the halls. A young woman is hunched over a makeshift baking station, meticulously crafting the perfect treat. This is where the journey began for my guest, Jodi Jefferson, a highly decorated Air Force veteran and the founder of Busy Bee Baking Company. From baking treats for presidents to raising thousands for charitable causes, Jodi's story is a genuine testament to the power of passion and giving.

Deliciously melding her love for baking with philanthropy, Jodi has baked her way into countless hearts while raising funds for Wounded Warriors and other charities. Her Thanksgiving bake sale tradition, born on Air Force One, symbolizes the spirit of giving that she embodies. Jodi isn't just crafting delectable treats, she's building a community that supports small businesses and makes a meaningful impact. As a ketogenic lifestyle follower, she also shares her unique experience with keto baking, proving how versatile and inclusive baking can be.

Jodi’s story does not end with her baking prowess. As we chat about Project Intentional, a non-profit focused on helping families in Jodi's area, we delve into how small acts of kindness can make a world of difference. Through her actions, Jodi embodies the essence of touching lives beyond the confines of her bakery. So, join us as we unravel this heartwarming journey of baking, philanthropy, and unforgettable connections.

Her love of floral design has grown over the years but her real passion for flowers happened after she planned her own wedding! As time went on, she often found herself offering floral design services to her clients as a finishing touch of a newly designed space, or for their own weddings and special events. She dreamed of starting a floral studio to help her clients celebrate these important moments in their lives. She is excited to announce ‘A Floral Design Studio’ to the Omaha area, as an addition to her interior design company.

Whether it’s someone she’s meeting for the first time or a faithful client, getting to know each person and what they love is the joy of her career. Having the ability to create exquisite design that each client will love is what she strives for on every event. She understands that a successful design is not one that follows rules and mimics her own style. Instead, successful design is one that truly showcases the personality, vision, and requests of her clients.

Starting out as home brewers, Tony and Phil spent years perfecting their craft, Tony both at home and in commercial breweries and Phil in his “barage”, founding the South Omaha Brewers Homebrew club. Along with their lovely wives, they began a journey to explore brewing and beer styles all over the world. After traveling to Germany, Belgium, Czech Republic and to over half of the local states, doing research and meeting some of the best people on earth, they decided that it could be more than just a hobby.

We love craft beer, and we want to share our passion while creating some truly unique and delicious beers with all of you! We brew in our basement brew house on Farnam Street in what used to be the vault of Crandell Furs. You can still see the original safe doors on your way into the brewery. We plan to have a regular line up of farmhouse ales, German Lager, Bock, Stout, and sours. We also believe that you have to push the limits and try new things so expect to see some special Brett beers, barrel-aged brews, sours, local hard ciders and many others as we progress. We can’t wait to have you over for dinner and a few beers! See you soon.

Scriptown Brewing Company was founded in 2012 by John & Debbie Fahrer and Scott Stephens. John and Scott met in 2011 when Scott returned to Omaha after living in Portland OR where he worked in advertising. Over his 7 year stint in Portland, his love and appreciation for handcrafted beer stoked his interest in the process; so, when he moved back to his hometown of Omaha NE, he was introduced to John by a mutual friend and the journey began.

John has been a homebrewer in his hometown of Omaha NE for over 25 years and is well respected in the local brewing community. In 1996, John won the NHC (sponsored by the American Homebrewer's Association) in New Orleans.  His Muddy Mo Amber Ale was named Best of Show out of 3,300 entries that year, winning him the coveted title of Homebrewer of the Year.

In addition, he was won many ribbons in local and regional home-brewing competitions over the years, including the Nebraska State Fair.   John recently left his career at PayFlex Systems in 2014 to pursue his dream of owning and operating a brewery.

Scriptown Brewing Company brews classic examples of traditional beer styles. As a BJCP National Judge, John was always a style maven and prefers to brew British, German and Belgian styles. Our goal is to brew the best beer possible, using local ingredients when we can.

The name Scriptown was derived from what was the first subdivision in the history of Omaha, which at the time was located in Nebraska Territory. It was called "Scriptown" because scrip was used as payment, similar to how a company would pay employees when regular money was unavailable. Its original survey placed the location from the Missouri River to North 30th Street, Cuming to Fort Street.
