    The Mixing Glass | Guest Shift - Stephanie Jenkins | Mythical Meats

    You're listening to Bardtenders!  In this episode of "The Mixing Glass", Stephanie Jenkins talks about her first adventure into tabletop gaming with her son and how it inevitably led to her career today with Mythical Meats. Stephanie also shares her knowledge and love of festivals and renaissance faires. We also got the rare chance to talk to Stephanie about the amazing brand, Mythical Meats, where she currently works . _______________ Stephanie Jenkins is an avid gamer, tabletop storyteller, and pop-culture enthusiast who turned a gag gift into a full-time career in the gaming and convention world. Stephanie is a passionate Dungeons & Dragons player and campaign runner who sees roleplaying games as a form of therapy, Stephanie also enjoys diving into Magic: The Gathering and all things geek culture — from retro games to fantasy adventures. Whether she’s building community at conventions or geeking out over nostalgic fandoms, Stephanie brings humor, creativity, and heart to everything she does.  _______________ Every company has an origin story. Some begin with years of planning and market research. Others start with a simple idea that grows into something much bigger. Mythical Meats started with a joke.  More specifically, it started with a father who was a bit of a gamer nerd looking to prank his then 10-year-old daughter. One day the idea popped into his head:  "Wouldn't it be funny if there was mermaid jerky?"  Like many ridiculous ideas, it should have ended there. But the more the idea sat around, the funnier it became. What would mythical creatures taste like? What would the packaging look like?  Could something like that actually exist?  What began as a playful joke between a dad and his daughter slowly started becoming real. What started as a simple prank idea between a father and his daughter has grown into a company dedicated to bringing unique meats and specialty proteins to customers seeking something different.  Mythical Meats continues to explore new products, build relationships with producers, and expand the range of meats available to adventurers, and gamers looking for something legendary.  While mermaid jerky may have started as a joke, today's mission is very real: deliver exceptional snack sticks that pack adventure with every bite. After all, every great story has a mythical beginning. Support the show
