Ryan Foley, publisher of Bartender Magazine, joins the show to talk family legacy, print media, and the Bartender Hall of Fame. In this episode of The Industry Podcast, we sit down with Ryan Foley, publisher of Bartender Magazine. Ryan grew up inside the publication his father, Ray Foley, launched in 1979 — after Ray left a career as a comedy writer for Johnny Carson to chase what he loved most: bartending. As an only child, Ryan says the magazine has been "his sibling" his whole life, and he stepped in to run the business full-time after his father passed away. The conversation traces the magazine's roots as a scrappy New York/New Jersey zine to its current run of 50,000 print copies per quarter, distributed at major industry events like Tales of the Cocktail. Ryan opens up about the pressure and privilege of carrying on a family business after his father's passing — from Ray's two unbreakable rules (never change the logo, never stop printing) to the emotional weight of stepping into his dad's shoes while raising two young kids of his own. They also dig into the Bartender Hall of Fame, a program Ray started in 1985 to honor bartenders who might otherwise be overlooked — not just industry stars, but the person who tended the same bar for 60 years. Ryan also shares the story behind Bartending for Dummies, the million-copy bestseller his father wrote in 1999 that Ryan later took over rewriting, along with Running a Bar for Dummies and his own book, Non-Alcoholic Drinks for Dummies. Additional topics discussed: - How Ray Foley bought bartender.com, mixologist.com, and roughly 450 other domains in the 1990s (including budtender.com) - Balancing a growing digital presence with the cost and tradition of print - How the magazine finds and features under-the-radar bars and bartenders, not just the famous ones - The layout and editorial process behind each quarterly issue, including regular contributors like Christine Wiseman and John Jakuru - Recent Bartender Hall of Fame inductees, including Julie Reiner and Chris Hannah - Life as a family business — travel, cover shoots, and running things day-to-day with his mother Notable Quote "I hustle so hard because I care about it so much." — Ryan Foley Connect with Ryan Foley Bartender Magazine @bartendermagazine A big thank you to Jean-Marc Dykes of Imbiblia.

What does it take to stop shaming yourself for drinking again? Sarah and Katie are trying to figure that out. It's easy to say that you need to change through compassion, self-love, and empathy, but putting that into practice is a much different story. Coach Hayley and Coach Cole use their training and their own experiences with drinking again to help Sarah and Katie use curiosity instead of blame and shame. Sarah discusses: Why over 100 days alcohol-free hasn't erased the fear that one bad day could send her back to hair of the dog Trusting the tools she's learned instead of the shame and blame she used to reach for first Bartending without missing the version of herself who used to drink through her shifts The intervention her sister and best friend staged, and why she couldn't hear it at the time Katie discusses: The "why" she keeps circling back to after relapsing months into a daily wine habit Reframing withdrawal agitation as her body healing instead of a sign something's wrong The 90 percent of her negative thoughts that turn out to be rumination, not fact Why being a "fixer" makes it harder to get curious about her own drinking pattern And more from both guests… Ready to take the next step?

Nelson Brooks started Cabana Boys with around $200 and eventually took the business to Shark Tank, where he landed an investment from Kendra Scott. In this episode, I'm joined by Nelson to break down how he built and scaled an event bartending business without the overhead of opening a traditional bar.We get into hiring for personality, creating a consistent guest experience, building accountability across multiple markets, marketing the experience instead of just the service, and what it takes to stand out in a low-barrier business.Because building something scalable in hospitality isn't just about having a good idea. It's about execution, people, consistency, and creating an experience customers actually want to pay for.PartyHostBoys.com: Explore and book their party-hosting experiences @PartyHostBoys: Follow them on social media Cocktail-Crew.com: Book bartenders for weddings, corporate events, and other celebrations Cocktail Crew Bartending: Follow their bartending brand on social media

What happens when a lifelong actor ends up behind a bar — and realizes the two aren't all that different? That's the story of Matthew "Matty" Rangel, a born-and-raised Wisconsin bartender who stumbled into social media content creation at 5:00 AM in a pub basement, and now has nearly half a million followers across platforms. In this episode, we sit down with Matty for a candid conversation about his dual life as a bartender and actor, the raw and real content that built his audience, and why talking about mental health in the hospitality industry isn't optional — it's essential. What We Cover From the stage to the bar — and back again Matty's love of acting started at age seven, watching his dad perform. When the pandemic killed a signed contract to join a New York theater company, bartending kept the bills paid. Then some drunk friends in a bar basement told him to just start making videos — and everything changed. Nearly half a million followers, no flair required Matty's content is unapologetically dive bar. No bottle flipping, no craft cocktail tutorials — just the real, raw day-to-day life of a neighborhood bartender. His 70-page notes document of stories and observations has become the foundation of a highly relatable and growing following. Bartending as performance Matty draws direct parallels between acting and working behind the bar — putting on a face when your grandparents are in the hospital, talking a stranger through the death of their son, then driving home and sitting in your driveway in silence for 20 minutes. It's a performance job, but the emotional weight is very real. Mental Health Mondays Matty runs a recurring content series dedicated to mental health in the industry. He talks about why bartenders need to let it out — and why the emotional labor of the job deserves to be taken seriously, regardless of how it compares to other professions. Auditions, COVID, and the silver lining Pre-pandemic, pursuing acting from Wisconsin meant moving to Chicago or New York. Now, virtual auditions mean Matty can stay rooted in Racine while still working with his Chicago-based agent. An unexpected upside of a difficult era. Just start Whether it's content creation or anything else — Matty's biggest piece of advice is to stop waiting for perfect and just go. He stumbled and bumbled his way to half a million followers. The only way to learn is to do. Connect with Matty Rangel LinkTree - Matty Rangel Instagram / TikTok / Facebook / YouTube: @TheRealMattyRangel A big thank you to Jean-Marc Dykes of Imbiblia.

Sean Hannity has been on Fox News for 30 years. He has been on radio since 1987. He has spoken to presidents, gone to war with the media and come out on top every time. And in this conversation he said more than he has ever said publicly. In part one we get into why he deletes every text message he sends and has no cloud account, what he told Trump directly after the Rob Reiner comments, how he called Trump with Melania on speaker and told him nobody needs to hear every thought that goes through his head, why he started working at eight years old and never stopped, what it was like to raise himself because both parents worked around the clock, the bartending job he had at 17 that was keeping him out until 4AM during his senior year of high school, how he missed 37 days of school in one semester without his mother knowing, his take on masculinity and why he believes a man should be the provider, and why he called this conversation one of the most honest he has had in three decades of media.

The first mistake many drinks brands make when entering the U.S. market? Thinking that distributor procurement is the first big step.In reality, the importer layer is more significant than many realize. It's where compliance, taxes, customs, cash flow, and route-to-market decisions collide, and where expensive missteps often trip brands up.In this episode of Business of Drinks, Scott Rosenbaum talks with Chelsea Andreozzi, founder of First Call Imports Consulting, about what it really takes to bring a wine or spirits brand into the U.S. market.Chelsea has spent 15 years across nearly every side of the bottle: Bartending, beverage directing, distilling, brand development, importing, and now consulting. Today, she helps wine and spirits brands, importers, and distributors build the systems they need to scale with more confidence.This conversation gets into the practical mechanics of importing: Federal permits, COLA approvals, FDA registrations, customs paperwork, CBMA tax credits, tariff refunds, brokers, and the details that determine whether a shipment clears smoothly or gets stuck at port.And the costs can add up quick. Chelsea has seen paperwork issues delay shipments for weeks, with fees climbing into the thousands — and in some cases, $25,000 on a single container.We also dig into why CBMA refunds can become a powerful cash-flow tool (IYKYK), what importers should be doing now to prepare for potential tariff refunds, where brokers fit into route-to-market strategy, and why self-distribution can be valuable early but rarely holds up as a long-term growth plan.The bigger lesson here is that import operations are not back-office housekeeping. For brands, they can be the difference between scaling with confidence and burning through time, money, and momentum before the first case ever sells.For the latest updates, follow us:Business of Drinks website (sign up for our newsletter!)Business of Drinks YouTubeBusiness of Drinks LinkedInInstagram @bizofdrinksErica Duecy, co-host: Erica Duecy is founder and co-host of Business of Drinks and one of the drinks industry's most accomplished digital and content strategists.

Step into Episode 205 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Mat Snapp and Cortnie of Barter & Shake, the team behind some of Arizona's most immersive cocktail concepts, to unpack what it really takes to build hospitality spaces people want to come back to. From Mat's years helping open dozens of restaurants with Sam Fox concepts to Cortnie's path through Starbucks, Nespresso, San Francisco bar leadership, and eventually Phoenix, this conversation dives into the operator mindset behind culture, guest experience, and long-term team retention. The episode explores how Barter & Shake grew from one building with three concepts to multiple locations and brands, why they lead with people-first operations, and how they think about guest immersion as a form of escape in an always-on world. Mat and Cortnie also break down the real art of bartending beyond drink-making, including safe service, internal communication, non-alcoholic hospitality, and why making every guest feel included matters just as much as what goes in the glass.​You'll also hear the story behind spaces like Sunny's Lounge and Undertow, what makes their concepts different in a changing market, the importance of giving people a place to unplug, and what's next for the group as Undertow celebrates 10 years and new projects take shape in downtown Phoenix.

In this episode, I sit down with Stefana Avera, founder of Liaison the Label, to talk about building a multimillion-dollar activewear brand from scratch—with zero experience in fashion or manufacturing. Stefana shares the raw, unfiltered journey of bartending to afford $80 product samples, crying over failed prototypes 3 years into development, and the delusional confidence it took to keep going when no one believed in her vision. This isn't a story of overnight success. It's about slow, steady growth, building community before going viral, and trusting your gut even when you don't know the "equation." If you're thinking about starting a brand or just need a reminder that you don't need a perfect background to build something incredible, this episode is for you.
