First episode

Just listened to my first episode with Oneduderyan, Ryan and Jay both emphasized “appreciation” and “community” and that’s 2 huge factors on how I decide to give people my time and energy, and they nail them both in the spirits world

Come for the drinks. Stay for the fascinating stories!

Wow! I thought I was going to listen in on Jay talking about drinks with influencers. But it’s SO MUCH MORE (and better) than that.

It’s fascinating to hear the guests talk about something they’ve super-passionate about. And it’s equally fascinating to hear about their behind-the-scenes stories in creating and growing their content journeys.

And Jay is just the host to help guide these guests along.

Jay is great

I’ve loved following Jay on Instagram and was so excited to listen to his podcast. The guests are great, he asks questions that allow the guests to really talk and give their perspective on things which I appreciate
