2023 marked the completion of the first season of the Food + Beverage Therapy podcast. What an amazing journey it has been already! I was fortunate enough to have some incredible guests I wasn’t quite sure were going to happen like, big-wave surf legend Laird Hamilton and
3rd Wave surfer Kyle Glanville. I also spoke with good friends and coffee heavyweights like George Howell, David Griswold and Peter Giuliano.
I am thankful to all my listeners and for the e-mails and texts of encouragement throughout the year. Your positive feedback is what inspires me to continue sharing these conversations.
Food + Beverage Therapy top three most popular podcasts in 2023:
Franchising From the Ground Up with CEO Brandon Knudsen,
State of the Industry with Andi Trindle Mersch
and Jonathan Rubinstein: The Art of Joe.
Honorable mention to George Howell: Evolving Specialty Coffee and LA Coffee Scene with Kyle Glanville of GGET.
The episode I taped with Andi was so much fun and got such a great response that I begged her to take some time away from her busy work and home life to co-host with me and she graciously accepted. Since then she has contributed to every episode and added another layer of fun, credibility and insight into the show. Thanks Andi!
SEASON 2 JUST STARTED!
In 2024 we will continue on with more episodes though it may be with less frequency. We kicked off Season 2 with Sahra Nguyen of Nguyen Coffee Supply. That has generated a lot
of excitement and I am so pleased with our latest episode as it is so important to our industry, Bill Murray, President of the NCA. We will have more great guests throughout the year so I hope you continue to listen, share and give your encouragement and feedback as we hear valuable stories and insights from our industry leaders.
Thank you for a great year!!
