Tyler Burkum (@tylerburkum) is an internationally touring and studio guitarist (Mat Kearney, Leagues, The Cactus Blossoms, Ingrid Michaelson... just to name a few) He’s a brilliant composer/songwriter too… but I didn’t interview him because of all that nonsense. I played with Tyler a few months back and as soon as we got to talking, I knew that I needed to sit down one-on-one over beers and chat. The way this guy approaches life and thinks about things will inspire you to want to be more open to what life has to offer even if you’re not a musician. In this episode we talk about: -Being cool with not being the right person for every gig -Realizing that being present in the moment is more important than anything else -Tyler’s experience being picked up at 17 to go on a rock tour -Overseas tattoo stories -The enjoyment of traveling with music and the education of traveling the world. How it changes the way you view life and culture -Deciding to be someone who says yes -Letting your mind remind your heart to ease it’s insecurities. -the pointlessness of being competitive in music -Producing yourself: The need to accept who you are and who you’re not. The importance of knowing what you’re NOT good at. -What ’success’ means to Tyler -Using social media as a musician -Advice Tyler would give to his past self that may just change your life. (don’t compete with other people) Recording Location: Indeed Brewery Tap Room, Minneapolis Beer: Day Tripper IPA I’m so thankful that I don’t have to deal with sponsors. Otherwise, I would have to tell you to visit Guinness’ website HERE Otherwise, I’d be inclined to tell you that Guinness Draft (with it’s distinctive dark amber body and rich creamy head) is possibly God’s greatest gift to mankind and is the sole reason I’m thankful for being alive after it’s birth in 1759. I’d also have to recommend that you to hire Narrate Films for your next video/film/music-video/photo booth/wedding photography/any photography needs and to visit their website HERE. Whew… so thankful I don’t need to deal with that crap. I’d feel so dirty having to tell you that this episode was sponsored by Bittercube Bitters NO WAY IN HELL am I going to tell you that Bittercube has been featured in Martha Stewart’s Everyday Food, Playboy, Imbibe Magazine, Timeout, Chicago Tribune, New York Times, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, GO – AirTran Inflight Magazine, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, NPR, and Daily Candy, among other publications.

Nick Kosevich (@nickkosevich) is an international 'Cocktail Consultant', a world class bartender and the co-founder of Bittercube Bitters. Even though Bittercube can be found at every bar I’ve been to in the Twin Cities, I took notice when I met a bartender in Louisiana raving about them years ago while on the road with music. I decided to sit down with Nick to find out how his journey took him from wanting to be an actor/stand-up comedian to being a successful entrepreneur and international cocktail judge and to figure out what I can learn from his career in cocktails and apply it to mine in the world of music. In this episode: -Our good friends Jorge and Janelle Figueroa join Sarah and I at the dining room table for cocktails, wine, beer and end up talking about the importance of 'Staying Curious' as we get older. -I give a call to this week's Guinness Giveaway winner (Clark Strasburg) at the end of the episode -I end up making the best 'Sour' Cocktail of my life thanks to Bittercube's help. In my interview with Nick we talk about: - Why Nick prefers not to be called a mixologist - What is a Cocktail Consultant? - Balancing being a good parent and being on the road for work - How is bartending alot like being a musician? - How to stay humble while still having confidence (“bartender bravado”) - The misconceptions of ‘pre-mixed’ cocktails - The awesomeness of the hit tv show 'Cheers' - Not trying to be a ‘Trend Setter’ but focusing on constantly being 'Forward Thinking' - The importance of confidence - How Bittercube Bitters got started - Even though it looks like people are successful overnight... that’s not how it works - Not worring about the competition, follow your own goals, run your own race

Their eyes met from across the bar: one possessed an adept ability to build syrups and bitters to empower the aspiring bartender, the other possessed a meta quality of flavor building and a rich cultural history in food. The resulting brainchild Bittercube was born thereafter. Many states, and employees later, Nick and Ira operate the consulting and bitters producing behemoth Bittercube. The two compose the perfect buddy cop dynamic while embracing their individually unique talents. Ranging from Orange and Jamaican bitters to their delicious Cherry Bark variety, Nick and Ira are sharing their brilliance one dropper at a time. We chat Half Step, community, fate, and family foods while sipping black coffee at 9:30am.
