What’s brewing, ATX?

Otis Grigsby spent several years in the NFL, but his journey was not as easy as one may think.  He had to learn how to "take food off the table of his teammates" and continuously fight for a spot on the active roster.  Otis shares his story from his days in the NFL up to today as he works as a lawyer recruiter.   Tune in to hear his story, tips on how to stay fit, and how he gets involved in the community!

On this episode we drank the Lime Gose from Real Ale Brewing Co., which is a German Style Wheat Beer.  Yes, it's winter but with temperatures in the 80s it was only fitting that we sipped on something a little more refreshing.

The Ocean Lab  - Eric Anderson, CEO @oceanlabatx

Eric Anderson joins the crew to discuss how a soul searching trip around the world landed him in the ATX, the mecca of innovation and healthy living in America.  While his first experience in a float spa wasn't exactly a successful one, he went back and by the third time he was hooked.  After floating at one of the top spots in LA, he realized there was a gap in the market to make the overall experience even better.  Find out how The Ocean Lab opened, where it got its name, and why floating and infrared technology might need to be added to your wellness routine!

Zach Horvath went on a 7-month European vacation looking for answers.  He found inspiration in the people he met, the experiences they shared, and the stories they told, and what started as a simple graffiti job in some of Austin's highest traffic areas has turned into a "movement of inspiration."  Zach's simple message of "Live a Great Story" has spread like wildfire, and today he shares his journey and the future plans of this new business venture!

Our cold beverage today was out of Lake Austin Ales, as we drank their Juicy Blonde Ale.  While this is traditionally more of a "Summer Brew" in Austin you can drink light beers pretty much year round.  This 16 ouncer was refreshing, crispy, and hit the spot!
