This episode of the Quality Goods Podcast is all about networking. Arguably one of the most important job and life skills you can hone if you have ambitions or the desire to get ahead or get things done. The soft skills like public speaking and effective communication that are practiced through networking can help develop the ability to win people over and get your message across clearly. All of these things are some of the benefits of exercising and growing your network. Let’s face it, no one will ever know how great your product or service is if you don’t talk about it! You’ll never grow your brand if you stay silent on the subject. As they say, closed mouths don’t get paid…or was it don’t get fed…either way, the sentiment remains true. So step outside of your comfort zone, go to that event, talk to the people that are operating inside of the space that you want to be in.

This episode of the podcast is dedicated to fresh beef…no not top sirloin, and not the stuff your favorite burger is comprised of. We are talking competition, rivalry, some good ol fashioned squabbles. In light of the recent hip hop beef that took social media by storm, this episode is inspired by a musical rivalry between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. Regardless of who came out on top of that one, it ignited the rap flame and we all got to basque in its heat and glow for a bit. Much like hip hop beefs give us conversation ammo, beefs in the food world can stir up similar sentiments. While food feuds typically remain friendly, some take the competition seriously…New York vs Chicago Pizza, Coke vs Pepsi, which ever team you side with, we all get a little excitement and a whole lot of flavor out of these friendly competitions. So let’s explore a few familiar and maybe not so familiar beefs in the world of food .

Proper nourishment before a big game is essential. Food can affect our performance for the better, or worse, but if planned right it can provide the fuel we need to be at our best both physically, and mentally. Let’s face it, the proper diet can influence athletic performance in both the short and long term. From going beast mode and chugging skittles, to going plant based like TB12, those that go out to perform, seek to nourish themselves with what draws the best out of them. Check out some of our own go-to performance meals and hear about the diet of a Paralympic Gold Medalist from our recent guest Brian Bell

On this episode of the foodcast, Anson and Chris got cheesy again as they dove into the world of cheesesteak sandwiches and their close relatives. While they both consume fewer of them than we once did, it is a mighty tasty and decadent food item that is near and dear to their hearts. If you’re not vegetarian or vegan, chances are you have a go-to spot for when this particular craving hits. Shoot even if you are rocking a plant based diet, they've both noshed on a couple mushroom philly's that would give their meat clad counterparts a run for their money. (Just don’t tell philly that, or they may ban me from ever visiting again.) There’s just something special about when meat, onions, and cheese come together, and then you make it hand held by shoving it in a nice roll..GAME OVER.
