Remember when we spoke to Greg Berbusse -- Head Brewer at Bay 13 Brewery in Coral Gables? Well, that interview was amazingly gracious, since he was in the middle of getting ready for Woop Woop Beer Fest, Bay 13's first beer fest and celebration of Australia Day! What follows is a little smattering of what attendees got to see, from a small portion of the breweries that attended. You'll hear mini-i...

The complex world of blockchain, Web3, and crypto technology can seem like a tricky space to navigate, especially at the legal level. Over the past few years, thousands of tech entrepreneurs and companies have escaped to the Sunshine State to take part in Florida's flourishing tech industry. But today's guest realized in 2017 that the state lacked effective legislation for this growing market.  Sa...

What has been the most creative way that YOU have built revenue related to your podcast? Over the years of building my brand through podcasting, I have come up with some quite creative ways to monetize. The opportunities go well above and beyond the pre-produced sponsored ads. And, through meeting so many other podcasters over the years, I have always been impressed with just how outside-the-box w...

From year-round sunshine that's perfect for solar panels to miles of shoreline that definitely need some cleaning, most Floridians understand that their state needs some environmental tender, love, and care. Today's guest has made it his sole mission to promote simple, yet effective, sustainability actions by focusing on solutions rather than fear-based problems. Dave Finnigan is the author of the...

Bay 13 is a bit of an anomaly: an Australian brewpub in the heart of Coral Gables. It sounds like a lot on paper, but it works quite well. It has a fantastic location, great food, and, of course, great beer. That last part is the handiwork of Head Brewer, Greg Berbusse. Originally from Little Rock, Greg was scouted by Bay 13 and made the move to Miami-Dade just before COVID. We joined him as the f...

ChatGPT has certainly created an avalanche of applications and opportunities for podcasting–well beyond anything we have had at our fingertips before–and I have my first Pro Podcasting Peer joining in to talk about it. AI (Artificial Intelligence) has long-impacted what we do as podcasters. For example, AI has given us some helpful communication tools, such as automated DM responses and meeting em...

What is the most important consideration when launching a podcast? This question was posed to me recently, and I thought my trifecta answer of your why, your ecosystem, and your plate was applicable to all podcasters–whether you are preparing for episode 1, 100, or 1,000 of your show. In order to be sure you are hitting your audience and content targets, you need to look at your show with fresh ey...

There are very few people on my 'wish list' of interviews, and Fran Andrewelevich was near the top of that list. Ask any Palm Beach County brewer, and you'll see why.

We'll chat with Fran about his background, opening up t...

It's a luxury to open up your laptop, smartphone, or tablet every day. Some people can't access those devices let alone a stable internet connection. This problem greatly affects the youngest members of our society: children. And it's not only an issue in America. It's a global concern. But today's guest is working hard to develop a solution. Tony Selvaggio is the Founder of eSmart Recycling -- a...

What does it mean to be human? Today's guest has explored that question through nudity and nature. Kerry Kott is a nude nature photographer, physician of Chinese medicine, mentor, teacher, and alchemist, but ... most importantly, she's a human. She leads nude ceremonies -- a.k.a. Wild Woman Events -- for groups of women who are trying to shed their fear, guilt, and shame toward their bodies. Kerry...

It's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it sort of location--but, hopefully, not for long! Situated in a former gas station, the Dixie Grill and Brewery opened as the Dixie Grill and Bar along U.S. 1 (Dixie Highway, hence the name) in 2004. The original owners were twins, Richard and Jay Preefer--themselves series restauranteurs. Richard has since passed the business on to his daughter, Rachel, and her husba...

Think about your all-time favorite dessert. Perhaps it's an ooey-gooey double-chocolate brownie or maybe a luscious piece of red velvet cake. Your mouth is probably watering right now as your innate sweet tooth kicks in (sorry not sorry). Unfortunately, not everyone can indulge in these cravings for such delicacies due to food allergies or dietary restrictions. But today's guest can get around tha...

Since his son and daughter-in-law own the brewery, he has been asked to set up thi...
