    Ep. 101: Cultural Appropriation, Who Is the Gatekeeper?

    In this episode I discuss my opinion and experience with Cultural Appropriation gone off the rails. Many people on the left have differing opinions of what it is and who gets to call on it. My take is simple, if you are of the culture or group appropriated from then you get to set the boundaries. For those not of the group or culture be inquisitive and be supporting but do not feel enlightened enough to think you can set boundaries on behalf of those perpetrated on.

    Ep. 94: Gilberto Marquez, 2020, & Matt’s Pick III

    Illegal Mezcal Global Brand Ambassador Gilberto Marquez talks about his humble beginnings, his passions, and his side hustle of making custom hats, Pachuco Supply Co.



    We have a projected winner of 2020 calling for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as the new POTUS and VPOTUS. That said, it doesn’t seem to be going as expected. We have grown accustomed to concession and acceptance speeches, this time we are missing one. At what point will reasonable adults be part of government?



    Once again I have Matt Carrizales give his Pick III of the Week: Masala Munchies, Somos Semillas, Pan de Taco (Honorary mention to Xela Roasters )

I like hearing experiences from those who have lived the ‘life’ longer than I have. You can’t ever stop learning especially with all the changes going on.

Love this!!!

I’m fairly green in the industry and beginning to work my way up and the insight that this podcast provides changes my view of the line of work that I’m in. Absolutely fantastic and enjoyable listen, can’t wait until the next episode!

👍🏼

I really enjoyed listening to this podcast even though I’m not in the industry.

It’s cool to get sort of a behind the scenes look of what goes into and on behind the bar experience.
