But 1st, We Drink

On this #ThirstyThursday, we have another edition of #TAKINGSHOTS

Peloton. Drink bourbon. Watch TBS comedies. Those were my methods to be well before catching up with my friend and life enthusiast, Breann Schram. She is now Marketing Director at The Collaborative, the fastest growing premium plant-based yogurt and dessert brand and mother of a beautiful baby boy (who joined us at points on the podcast!). However, she still took the time to stop by and share a #SixPack of ways and #lifehacks to stay healthy and be present, which is so important as the COVID-19 pandemic and shelter-in-place continues. So grab a drink on this #ThirstyThursday (since we talkin' healthy on this episode, I'll be OK if you #CHUG a green juice for THIS EPISODE only :) and come hang out with me, Breann, and her son (the youngest guest in #B1WD history). Welcome to the 2nd to last official episode of But First, We Drink Season 1. Cheers to You!

Releasing Night Cap

Surprise! We have a SPECIAL EPISODE for you on this #ThirstyThursday... This week, I am trying a new episode format with my co-worker, friend, and birthday twin, Liz, that had me real nervous! We each prepared a #SixPack of personal and provocative questions to ask each other, and we could either answer them or take a shot

So...what happens when you DM a bartender on TikTok LIVE to ask if he wants to be on your podcast? He agrees! This week, I am excited to welcome Chris O'Neil, AKA Las Vegas Bartender, onto #But1stWeDrink. Together, we make one of his viral drink recipes on the air, do THREE #CHUGS

What is your favorite summer bop?

So I don't tell anybody this, but I am FREAKING OUT about having my first child this December. Luckily, I have Daddy Blaine on this week's episode, passing down his magic tips & tricks for this week's #SixPack. Sam Slesinger is an old colleague of mine from my mobile startup days (we also both have secret rap careers BTW), and he is now a father of a 2.5 year-old, beautiful baby boy. Come #CHUG and #CHAT as always this #ThirstyThursday and learn why forgetting about the boo-boos and having Sour Patch Kids at the ready can be your saving graces during parenthood. Cheers to you!

What's the future of D2C fashion? How do you launch a startup if you are dating the other founder? How do you pick the right social influencers for your brand? If you are interested in any of those Qs, this week's #SixPack interview with FashionPass co-founders (Brittany Johnson, Joel Avery) will go down smooth like a sip of Longbranch Bourbon (@WildTurkey, hit me up for a 1-month free sponsorship

10+ years is a LONG TIME people. Isaac (featured on Ep. #4) needed some more

What is it like to shoot and work with Drake, Wiz Khalifa, Rihanna, Seann William Scott, and Calvin Harris? Well, here's your chance to hear. This week, I catch up with Isaac Bauman, who is “an award-winning award winner who has won awards” (you'll get that troll if you listen towards the end of the episode :). Isaac is a world-class cinematographer, who has worked with all of the above and on some of the biggest music videos and movies (e.g. Bloodline, Cloverfield series). He was also my college roommate during our sophomore year at USC. Come listen in as we catch up for the 1st time in 10+ years! We

Happy Labor Day to those in the States! I am excited to release a new format under the But 1st, We Drink podcast, called Night Cap

Ok, this week gets a bit rowdy! For this week's #B1WD, I catch up with my old buddy and fellow alcohol enthusiast, James Vu, as we share our Top 6 Comedy Movies of all-time for the #SixPack. The Jameson and expired Modelo were flowing. Lots of laughter and bathroom breaks in this episode.

Are you starting to get the travel itch too? Well, this week's episode will either be as satisfying as a nice scratch or as annoying as not being able to scratch yourself for another year (can it be 2021 yet? ✈️). But hopefully, a chug of your favorite podcast should help! Ticket 2 Anywhere Podcast's co-creator and co-host, Leah Arao, joins me to each share our #SixPack of 6 favorite places we've traveled to-date. To no surprise, international destinations were frequent amongst our lists, but we both give some love to U-S-A. We also make our case why White Claw should sponsor this podcast. #Pineapple70Calories --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/but1stwedrink/support

Welcome to the first episode ever! This week, we have Terrence Williams (Lead Designer, Salesforce Experience) on to discuss the biggest realizations of COVID-19.
