    Finback Brewery CEO and Co-Founder Basil Lee

    Basil Lee took quite the circuitous route to co-founding a craft brewery. He attended art school on the road to becoming an architect, working for a large firm for almost 10 years. As so often happens, Basil came to a crossroads. Does he keep progressing with his current company? Does he try to open his own firm? Or is it time for a new challenge altogether? Basil chose to dive into the craft beer world with art school friend and Finback Brewery co-founder Kevin Stafford. Together they secured a space in little-traveled Glendale, a neighborhood in Queens that’s a good 30-minute walk from the closest subway station. Over the years, Basil has been remarkably creative in positioning the business for success, pivoting to a delivery service during the pandemic and designing each space for different experiences. Hear how that flexibility - and his unique talents - have helped Finback grow into a beloved part of the vibrant New York City beer scene in this illuminating conversation. -Follow Alex on Instagram

    New Yorker Cartoonist and Comedian Asher Perlman

    Asher Perlman has spent his entire professional life in comedy - from the famed Second City in Chicago to writing for the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, but his foundation came from cartoons. His dad taught him the basics from a young age growing up in Madison, Wisconsin and he's carried on that legacy as one of the few cartoonists to publish in The New Yorker regularly. That's no surprise - Asher's work is pithy, his observations are spot-on and his jokes are universal. His debut cartoon collection "Well, This Is Me" comes out on June 18th and is already an Amazon Best Seller.  Learn where Asher's ideas come from, how he converts them to paper and what drives his creativity in this in-depth conversation. -Follow Asher on Instagram -Preorder "Well, This Is Me" -Follow Alex on Instagram

    The Perfect Loaf's Maurizio Leo

    Maurizio Leo's considered one of the country's top sourdough experts. You'd think that means he's been a professional baker his entire adult life, right? Not so much. The Albuquerque, New Mexico native grew up in his father's Italian restaurant but actually became a software engineer. Maurizio never stopped baking for fun and started his website The Perfect Loaf a little more than a decade ago, where he’d post sourdough recipes he was trying out in the kitchen. It grew slowly at first, but that little side project became the launching point for countless bakers as they began their sourdough journey - it was for me. Learn Maurizio's process for developing new recipes, how he grew The Perfect Loaf into a New York Times best-selling cookbook and how a passion has become so much more. There's something here for everyone - from the expert bread baker to someone who's never heard of a sourdough starter! -Follow Maurizio on Instagram -Check out The Perfect Loaf -Follow Alex on Instagram

    Amber Share had always been passionate about design, but never pursued it as a career, instead opting for a life in marketing. That wasn't enough - she never felt completely fulfilled and still had the urge to create. Then Amber began the venture that would change her life - Subpar Parks.

A perfect example is the one she did for Devils Tower National Monument in Wyoming - "just a big rock". What started as a pet project has grown exponentially - with her Instagram amassing more than 400-thousand followers and she's now working on it full-time, shipping out calendars, puzzles, prints and more.
