When making a trip back to Portland, Brian Weber stops by and is this week's guest. Brian and I were high school classmates. During this conversation, A lot of his stories and experiences started to emulate my own. We talk about his pathway to becoming a Police Officer with the city of Astoria, Oregon. He opens up about the many rejections he faced and how he was able to find an alternate route to achieve his dream. The last memory I have of Brian was a kid that blended into the background. But when he was with his friends, lit up and was very engaging. Brian opens up about how his training to be an officer helped him grow as a person. Follow Brian here: https://bit.ly/3TC3WYF

The week we welcome special guest, Min. Brian Weber who brings us a message titled, "Being a Difference Maker."

ifty years ago, a white Louisiana factory worker named Brian Weber sued for reverse discrimination and lost. The 1979 Supreme Court United Steelworkers of America vs. Weber decision focused on the use of race-conscious affirmative action to address specific disparities in employment opportunities. Who was the man at the center of this historic landmark case? And why is overturning it still the focus of conservative efforts today? USA TODAY Senior Reporter Jessica Guynn joins The Excerpt to discuss the case's history and why it still divides us.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

November 6, 2001. Florence, Montana. A customer enters a salon called the Hair Gallery and discovers the bodies of three murdered women: the salon's 62-year old owner, Dorothy Harris, a 44-year old employee named Brenda Patch, and a 71-year old customer named Cynthia Paulus. The victims have each had their throats cut and the customer reports that an oddly dressed individual wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a long black coat was exiting the salon when they arrived. Six-and-a-half years later, a pair of drug dealers named Brian Weber and Lincoln Benavides are indicted for their alleged roles in the crime, but since the evidence against them is not particularly strong, the murder charges against them are eventually dropped. Were Weber and Benavides responsible for killing these three women? If not, who was the perpetrator and what could their motive have been? On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore the horrific and perplexing crime known as “The Florence Salon Murders”. If you have any information about this case, please contact the Ravalli County Sheriff's Office at (406) 375-4060.

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Brian Weber, General Partner at BRW Investors. I've known Brian for a few years now, and we actually did a fun panel in 2021 with fellow guests of the show, Chris Krug and Artem Fokin, discussing MicroCap Due Diligence in the virtual world. Brian is as active a MicroCap investor as it gets, who has the record, or is right up there for doing the most 1x1 meetings (at least at our events) in the last few years. In our discussion, we talk about his background, where we have similar inspirations for getting into MicroCaps (our dads!). One key part of the conversation and why I titled this episode what I did is because MicroCap companies can have a tendency to chase that carrot or trend that investors are flocking to. We chat about what separates the companies that are prepared to carrot chase vs. those who are just going to keep chasing.

For those of you looking to start, and scale, a cannabis brand, this episode is for you. This one is also for all of you that follow your passion and run! The details… well, they'll just figure themselves out later. I love this guy, and this episode! Serendipity is a funny thing. The Universe has a way of presenting in front of you exactly what you need. You liking it, or not, at the time is irrelevant. It's October, 2021, a colleague and I are at a happy hour (reception) in Las Vegas hosted by a prospective vendor. As one does at a cocktail hour… you mingle. We start chatting with this guy who is all smiles, in that genuine, friendly, neighbor next door you've known for a few years kinda way. I really like his hat too. It's this teal blue with pink script on it. As a lifelong East Coaster, it reminds me of 80's Miami. He's just chill. Turns out, this friendly neighbor guy has a cannabis brand he's been growing for a few years. Go figure! His hat, that I really like, is his brand. As we wait for the negroni's that never came, he shares his journey with us. While we work in the industry, my guest and I are long-time tech people; we're amazed how one actually starts a cannabis brand… on top of all that, without actually touching the plant. We come to find out in this interview, he did enough of that in his mom's garage earlier in life. After University, he got into a few fashion startups too. It all goes to show, when you find your passions, lean into them, follow those veins, it will all eventually come together to something amazing you're compelled to do and really good at.  Please enjoy our founders journey of building a multi-state cannabis lifestyle brand, Higgs, with Founder and CEO, Oliver Higgins.

One of my favorite things about the work that I do is that I've literally walked the walk when it comes to taking my coaching biz from zero to multi five-figure months. I often mention how I've had a ton of support along the way, but what I don't often mention is the mindset shift that IS deciding to invest in coaching support to grow your business. Plus, having that convo with your spouse when you're ready to dish out thousands of dollars to “a stranger on the internet.” So I've decided to give you the inside scoop. And what better person to bring in on that convo than the man himself? In today's episode, I'm chatting with my husband Brian about HIS mindset when it came to my decision to invest in a business coach. And while I know that there are many mindset challenges that can come up when investing, I want you to know that this conversation is far more common than you might think. I'm dishing out personal details, Brian brings his typical witty banter to the table, and our hope is that this conversation will support you in talking to your spouse about your own dreams and goals to get the support YOU desire.

Today's guest started building a strong work ethic at the age of 12, and never stopped. Understanding she learned through work, it was fundamental that her choice in University had an emphasis on learning through action. She followed her interest in event production to a premier events company in Boston, producing high-end events like a Super Bowl Ring Ceremony at the team owner's house. It was in her time managing Boston's most select night clubs that she noticed a gap; The Ultra Premium club life was Ultra antiquated in how they managed guest bookings. To solve that, she co-founded TabelList to modernize Night Club and event reservations. They soon expanded Nationally, and beyond the club too, landing the most Ultra Premium event of 2017... Fyre Fest! Wow! You may have seen the documentaries, but facing $3.5M in chargebacks! Just Wow! Following that, she took over as CEO, and with 4 others stayed to rebuild the decimated company. Just as things were growing again, she lost her Mom to Cancer. This was all just before COVID hit, shutting down every nightclub and event in the World. A call came in from an old contact from Boston, who needed help managing the growing queues at their dispensaries during Covid. Could their software help?

For this episode of The Investors Roundtable (#27), our panel chats about doing due diligence on MicroCap stocks in the virtual world. We wanted to highlight this because our panelists are very active going to many investor conference, both in-person and now virtual, because that's where they go for idea generation, and specifically doing as many 1x1 meetings as possible to assess management teams. So, we thought it would be fun to discuss what this new normal has been like: doing virtual 1x1s, has that changed their process, why virtual events have been way more efficient for them, and much more.

The ability to step away and see the big picture is essential as a leader. It’s what allows you to work on the business so you can then then work in the business.

One of the most important rules in business is to know your numbers. Numbers are part of nearly every business school case study as they help tell the story: Where is money coming from? Where is it going? Those are the basics. Today’s story is about how one entrepreneur, searching for clues to steer a stalled business, was able to read the numbers to uncover their best customers. What resulted not only saved the business, but changed an industry. Jeffrey Harris was already a successful business owner many times over. Always with an eye on the next opportunity, Jeff and a technical co-founder setup a new business to help small businesses in South Florida with their loyalty & marketing. After some early promise, sales plateaued, and they met some headwinds for their industry. Not one to waste time on just doing “ok”, they were faced with a decision to close. They looked at their numbers to help understand their customers better. They noticed their two most profitable customers were actually not their target market, but were from Cannabis! Leaning in to learn more, they realized their Loyalty and Marketing technology is perfectly suited to Cannabis consumers. A quick pivot to Cannabis brought explosive growth, not only turning around the business but changing the industry. They are now the go-to name for Cannabis Loyalty & Marketing engagement! Please enjoy the Founder’s Journey of Jeffrey Harris, Co-Founder & CEO of springbig! Professional Summary: Jeffrey Harris is Co-Founder & CEO of springbig, a customer loyalty platform for the cannabis industry. springbig uses SMS, loyalty marketing, and other tools to encourage repeat business for cannabis retailers.

Companies like Adidas, Reebok, and Citi Bank.

It’s so refreshing when you meet someone who understands what fulfills them and is actually doing it! It’s their calling. They’re mission driven. That is especially true for today’s guest: Mara Gordon, Co-Founder of Aunt Zelda’s. The drive to care for a loved one is a very powerful force. Mara, confronted with the challenge of helping her husband, when traditional methods had failed, turned to Cannabis. The impact was immediate, but unfocused. The obstacle in turning to Cannabis was that there was no data on effective dosing. She wanted a prescription, but ended up with a picnic! To a Process Engineer that is unacceptable. The ensuing journey in treating her husband, herself, loved ones, and eventually others embarked Mara down the road to solve the dosing issue for Cannabis. In the documentary “Weed the People”, and her TED Talk “Cannabis: Separating the Science from the Hype”, shares part of Mara’s journey of applying a collaborative, qualitative approach, in uncovering effective dosing for Cannabis. Her Aunt Zelda’s oil heavy Carrot Cake recipe was the perfect delivery method for some of those initial doses. That mission has now expanded to 4 companies, to deliver data-driven, Cannabis-based plant medicines, research, and knowledge for practitioners. Please enjoy the Amazing Founder’s Journey of Mara Gordon, Co-Founder of Aunt Zelda’s.

Episode Summary: Before Eric Schnell was actually Eric, he attended Woodstock… in utero. Raised by his hippie parents in the Boston area; his early years were in an Ashram. The respect for our bodies, animals, and the Earth, were values embedded early, and consistently, in his life. Seeds for becoming an entrepreneur were planted early on too: Once, as a punishment, his Mom withheld allowance; his 8 year old self was so upset by this, he vowed to never be dependent on anyone else for money again. During his time at Northeastern, Eric turned what started as promoting fraternity parties, into a $200,000/year income, all before graduating! After a stint as a broker dealer on Wall Street, he needed a change. With his ability to promote, he pivoted back to his root values, taking a position at a family run natural supplement company; trading a Rolex for a Feather Duster. That early venture led to his entrance into the ultra competitive Beverage Industry. With early success, and many ups and downs to follow, he eventually started Beyond Brands: An Incubator and Accelerator to launch Mission Driven brands including mood33. This first foray into the Cannabis Market brought a whole new set of challenges and lessons to be learned. Eric Schnell has an amazing Founder's Journey, I hope you enjoy it! Eric Schnell, Professional Summary: "Some might call him a socialpreneur. Others, a food & beverage visionary. No matter the title, Eric has been a natural product industry pioneer for over 20 years and counting. With diverse experience in sales, marketing and new product launches, Eric enjoys taking ideas from scratch and turning them into viable businesses that make a global impact, through the game changing brands and consulting agency he founded, BeyondBrands. Currently disrupting the beverage side of the hemp industry as CEO of mood33 CBD infused teas, he previously served as co-founder of Steaz, a leading organic tea brand that was strategically acquired in 2016 as well as a member of Runa tea which was successfully sold in 2018.

Episode Summary: Growing up in suburban Georgia, Kat Merryfield took early influence from her entrepreneurial father and nurturing mother. Personality traits of studiousness, curiosity, and drive came to accompany her introverted tendencies. As a young Mother with a sick child, the accepted western therapy for her daughter left her at a disadvantage. Seeking out alternatives, a natural option presented a cure. Enlightened by that experience, Kat focused on Natural Medicine for her formal education. She later turned to Natural medicine herself in her fight with Cancer, for her husband to help with PTSD, and eventually friends in treating other conditions. Through a systematic approach, Kat developed formulations that provided relief to specific ailments; those formulations are the basis for Kat's Natural's Products today. So how does a Homesteader, Cancer Survivor, and Mother of 4 turn a side project, sold at their home farm stand, into a Multi-Million dollar business in just a few years? Please enjoy the Founder's Journey of Kat Merryfield, of Kat's Naturals.

For many business owners, Payroll & Benefits management are a common core part of starting a business. Employees & Taxes need to be paid, laws need to be followed; those are the basics. There are any number of vendors offering those services who will come knocking at your door the moment you register a new business. That's just not the case in the Cannabis Industry. A chance encounter on a Southwest Flight led today's guest to ring up a friend running a successful dispensary, only to find they'd been dropped by 6 payroll companies to service their 100 employees. Layer on complex legal structures, regulations, and tax codes. These are the seeds of what is an especially big problem for the Cannabis industry this is. It takes a special kinda person to want to start a company to solve those problems. Please enjoy the Founder's Journey of Wurk Founder & CEO, Keegan Peterson.

"It's challenging for Cannabis Brands to efficiently connect with Dispensaries. This is especially true for smaller and startup brands with limited resources to spend on the traditional sales and fulfillment process.

In turn, Brands getting product feedback, is traditionally rare and anecdotal at best.

Likely, the first technology choice of a dispensary is the POS system. It’s the hub of your inventory, processes all revenue, and source for all reporting. Many of these systems have integration partners that further extend their capabilities. The Cannabis industry now has many POS providers, but, how to choose the right one for your Dispensary? We'll dive deep with Matt in how he and his team chose a POS for their Dispensary; we discuss how they understood their needs, their research process, as well as some of the ancillary systems that played a hand in their decision.

"Because it’s too hard for two highly regulated industries — legal cannabis-related businesses and financial institutions — to connect. A volatile mix of local, state, federal and banking laws and regulations make relationships difficult. Compliance and reporting can be overwhelming for both parties. Many financial institutions have steered clear of this new business opportunity, intimidated by the potential risk of tainted funds. Many legally operating businesses are forced to manage large amounts of cash, stifling their ability to grow. Green Check replaces these processes with a cloud-based platform that verifies legal cannabis-related businesses, analyzes every transaction and automatically files required reports." Kevin J Hart of Green Check Verified joins us on our inaugural show to discuss satisfying Banking & Cannabis Regulations. Kevin is an experience C-level executive that has been involved in the tech industry for 4 decades. His passion for solving business problems via technology has brought him all over the world, working with F100 companies and start ups.

Press On - A challenge from Philippians 3 to Berean Baptist Church by Brian Weber, Converge MidAtlantic Executive Minister, on Berean's 40th Anniversary. February 17, 2019.

241 As you probably know, Tales of the Cocktail is one of, if not the, biggest and most important cocktail conferences in the world. Tales is going through a transition. After much controversy, which we wont rehash, but reported on extensively first in episode #203, Tales is in the process of being reorganized as the Tunermans are selling their shares. Listen to Bartender Journey Podcast No. 241 by clicking on the player on this page or subscribe in Apple Podcasts, Android or Stitcher Radio. This week we will talk to the two gentlemen that are in the process of purchasing those shares and will take over management, Gary Soloman and Neal Bodenheimer. We’ll hear about their plans for Tales. And next week we’ll continue the conversation about what is being called “Tales 2.0” with Mr. Philip Duff. I hope you are subscribed so that you get the new episodes as soon as they become available, downloaded directly to your phone. For free!   Cocktail of the Week: Sazerac – The official cocktail of New Orleans as proclaimed by the Louisiana House of Representatives in a 62-33 vote in 2008. We’ll use David Wondrich’s recipe from his great Esquire Drinks 2 ½ oz Rye Whiskey. 3 drops Peychaud’s Bitters Dash Angostura Aromatic Bitters Cube of Sugar Absinthe rinse Method: Muddle the sugar cube with a few drops of water and the bitters. Add the whiskey. Stir well with ice. Put a little Absinthe in an Old Fashioned glass. Roll it around and discard (or drink!) Strain Cocktail into the glass. This drink is unusual in that it’s served in an Old Fashioned glass without ice. Express the oils from a lemon twist over the drink and drop twist into the glass.   This is of course a variation on an Old Fashioned. We spoke extensively about the Sazerac cocktail with Elizabeth Pearce, Drinks Historian and author of The French Quarter Drinking Companion way back in episode #132 First I’ll remind you, I am Brian Weber.

We are going to have to figure out how to pay for the trip down to Tales this year…you know I did some work for them for 3 years, recording seminars and producing another podcast for the Tales 365 members, but our arrangement has come to an end. I always get great content for the show at Tales – last year I think we got 4 show’s worth of great material.

This week on the Bartender Journey Podcast we talk with Jack Daniel’s Master Distiller Jeff Arnett. I spoke with Jeff at San Antonio Cocktail Conference. Its the Bartender Journey Podcast # 204!  Listen with the audio player on this page, or subscribe on iTunes, Android or Stitcher Radio. Jack Daniel’s is such an iconic brand with so much history. Jeff shared some great information with us, including facts about why Jack Daniel’s is not called “Bourbon”. He said, in fact it legally could be classified as Bourbon. But when the man who started the brand, Mr. Jack Daniel in the mid 1800’s he decided that he wanted to differentiate his whiskey and embraced the classification of Tennessee Whiskey.   Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 whiskey follows all the requirements of Bourbon, with the addition of a charcoal filtering process. This filtering is legally called the "Lincoln County Process,” by the state of Tennessee. It is also known as “charcoal mellowing,” and occurs before Barreling.   Cocktail of the Week: I was trying to come up with interesing & sophisticated cocktails for St Patrick’s Day and came up with this one. I first called it the Emerald Sour, but after hanging out with my friend Hazel and describing the drink to an Bartender Carl at Swift Hyberian Lounge, it was decided that the name would be changed to “Man in the High Castle” which the name of a book that Carl had just finished. There is also a TV show on Amazon Prime Video by the same name. The two appear not to be related. “Man in the High Castle” Cockail: 2 oz Knappogue Castle 12 year old Irish Whiskey 1 oz Myers Lemon Juice, (freshly squeezed – peel lemons before juicing to make Oleo Sacrum and Twists). ¾ oz of Myers Lemon Oleo Sacrum syrup* Dash of Salt Shake with ice. Strain into an Old Fashioned glass containing fresh ice. Garnish with Myers Lemon Twist and a Sprig of Fresh Thyme, (slapped to release aromatics). (If you don’t have Myers Lemons you can use regular ones).   *Myers Lemon Oleo Sacrum Syrup Peel 2 lemons before juicing them: Use a Y-peeler and try to get only the yellow zest – as little of the white pith as possible. Put them in a sealable container, or better yet use a if you have a vacuum sealer, place in a vacuum sealer bag. Cover with ½ cup sugar. If using the vacuum sealer…seal it. Otherwise cover tightly. Let sit for at least 4 hours at room temperature, or overnight. Add ½ cup warm water and stir to dissolve. Use a fine strainer and discard all the solids.   Book of the Week is A Spot at the Bar: Welcome to the Everleigh: The Art of Good Drinking in Three Hundred Recipes By Michael Madrusan & Zara Young Michael’s Bar The Everleigh is in Melbourne Australia. He studied under Sasha Patraski and worked at the original Milk and Honey. His goal with Everleigh was to bring the Milk and Honey concept to Australia, and in fact Sasha was his business partner on this venture. As you may know Sasha left this world way too early in August 2015. But Sasha inspired a generation of Bartenders, not only those who were trained by him, but many, like myself that never had the opportunity to work with him. This Book, A Spot at the Bar is another wonderful offshoot of Sasha’s Legacy. There are many great recipes and photos in here, but a lot of other useful stuff as well. There is an entire section on Bartender’s Choice. This can be challenging for a Bartender. In the book Michael talks about how to do it best. There is a series of questions to ask - in a certain sequence - to figure out what this guest would enjoy.   Michael said in the book that Sasha taught his students that “working hard behind the scenes allows you to look effortless in front of your guests”. Wise words from a wise man.           Cocktails in the Country is a great experience, which I was honored to attend in the Summer of 2016. It is run by the man I call the Yoda of Bartending Gary (gaz) Regan. It normally costs $250, but I’m going to tell you how to get it for only $100. Its 2 days of education, learning the gaz approach to “Mindful Bartending”. Plus, practical skills making original cocktails behind the bar. It takes place in the Hudson Valley, just over an hour north of Manhattan.   Included in the cost is transportation from Manhattan, lodging for the evening, most meals, classes with gaz and cocktail making with your 9 new best friends.   Here’s how to get your discount Email gaz at gazregan@gmail.com Put the code BUY-BACK in the subject box. Please mention to gaz you heard about it from me, Brian Weber of the Bartender Journey Podcast! Please cc me on the email so I know you are going! My email is brian@bartenderjourney.net   To participate in CITC you have to be a working Bartender and have worked in the Hospitality Industry for at least 3 years.   Bar Institute Econo Bar Institute is hitting the road for a six week tour stopping in 25 cities in the US and Canada this Spring. In each city, they will be hosting a one day Bar Institute session featuring 3-5 classes and a popup event, which will incorporate the information from the classes into service each night. They’ll be asking for only a $5 donation for admission to the classes and the drinks in the evening. All proceeds will benefit charity.  Along the way, they've identified social justice issues that will serve as the centerpiece of the weekly focus for each region. This is so awesome! They will be in a bunch of mid size cities – many of which (I’m guessing) don’t have cocktail conferences very often. CONTEST!

This co-podcast with Brian Weber from Bartender Journey will teach you a ton about what goes on behind the bar with wine! From the danger of ordering rosé to how long a wine is left open before chucked, we give it to you straight!    Brian launched our full conversation on his podcast, which includes more basics about wine. I've edited our conversation to focus just on the wine-relevant portions! We talked about... How much knowledge do bartenders have about wine?How much training do they receive? Is it ok to ask for samples? How long does wine stick around before it's chucked if it's sold BTG? Do they ever try it - or just pour and hope it is still good? How many days do you leave a red by the glass compared to a white after opening? How does pricing of wine work in a restaurant setting? Do you think of us wine folk as silly purists? Meaning, a great cocktail is made from a few, if not many ingredients, and we winos are mostly looking for singularity. What do you do when a customer tells you the wine you served is corked? Have you ever faked rosé by adding red  to white wine?  Are there any cocktails that do not screw up your palate before the meal? What are some new and exciting wine cocktails being offered? How much of a difference does better wine make in these cocktails? A very fun conversation from which I know you'll learn a ton!    Enjoy!
