…and this is exactly the type of episode I started this podcast to make — When you think of starting something new, you need a little vision of it working to push you from what Peter Thiel would characterize as “zero to one”. When I contemplated starting a small independent beer podcast, just for fun, I also wanted it to serve some kind of purpose…

…and if you like a 1970’s detective mystery, you’re in for a treat — I love the strange bizarre places that this podcast takes me too. This episode combines two of them. Firstly, the Palmers Brewery in Bridport, Dorset, UK. Not a strange bizarre place per se, but fascinating nonetheless and it was there that I met (we were on the same tour) the…

Financially, no… mentally, yes. — I’ve just broken a key “rule” to succeeding on Medium. You’re supposed to leave an information gap in the headline or subtitle that teases readers into clicking and reading… preferably all the way to the end (since earnings are based on member read time). You know the kind of thing: …

I know because I’m doing it — This is the kind of article that should be in The Startup (Or StartItUp or whatever it is called nowadays) or Better Marketing, or one of the big publications.

It’s a special (blind) Christmas Taste Test — Podcasting should be fun, it should be enjoyable. That’s why you need to pick a subject you’re passionate about to be your niche. Well, this episode proved to me that I picked the right niche. This episode was so much fun to record. I was keen to get a friend…

It’s only taken me 30 years to figure it out… — Let’s be honest, drinking is fun. I’m not trying to be irresponsible here, I’m just telling it how it is. Consuming alcohol would not be so wildly popular unless it was enjoyable. But booze is one of those areas where it’s too easy to have too much of a good…

Meet the guy who has sourced a beer from each of the 32 countries playing at the World Cup — I love meeting new people and having fun and interesting conversations with them — often having things in common can facilitate this. Well, I love beer and football. Those are two big things I have in common with Gus Hully who is well on his way to becoming a beer…
