This is the first run in a new sub-series of Hustle & Brews podcasts called “Hustler’s Brews”. In this new series, I’ll be periodically sitting down w/ local hustlers that have collaborated w/ a local brewery on their very own beer! I’ll be doing these whenever there’s a new collab coming out…or in this case out…distributed…& probably not even available at this point. I think it’s cool as hell when a local brewery collabs w/ a local hustler, or influencer, or podcaster, or maybe...

This episode is different than any other &, honestly, it makes me writing this intro a little awkward. That’s because I’m the guest on this one & my wife is interviewing me. I typically give a nice long introduction on the episode’s guest & big up them about things they talked about in the interview & the hustle that got them to their position. However, since I’m the interviewee…that just seems weird, so…I’ll just tell you how the idea for this episode came about. My buddy Roc...
