In November, 2015, this dynamic duo broke ground on the 15,000-square-foot distillery in Shelbyville, KY. Joyce is the Master Distiller behind the operation, while her daughter Autumn acts as Co-Owner and Marketing Manager. And although Jeptha Creed is still very young, they’re already creating incredible buzz in the spirits world.

ENJOY! Check out Ora Organic Here When you think Kentucky, you probably think bourbon – whiskey, vodka, and moonshine – and if that’s the case… you’re absolutely correct! But this epic tale is much grander, and goes way deeper, than just another Kentucky distillery. The Nethery story is truly fantastic, and what they are creating is nothing short of inspirational – and forking tasty! From the farming techniques, to the family creed, to their commitment to sustainability, Joyce and Autumn hold true to the legacy of distillers. We also discuss: How serendipity made Joyce a master distiller Why Autumn studied in Scotland for a year Why they chose the name “Jeptha Creed” The “secret recipe” and unique heirloom varietals that go into these spirits Sustainable farming techniques Wet, dry, and moist counties The Jeptha Creed drinks & their bourbon coming up in 2019 (it has to age!) Everyone’s different reactions to different spirits Resources: Learn more at JepthaCreed.com Connect with Jeptha Creed: Instagram | Facebook | Twitter Joyce Nethery’s Bio: As far back as she can remember, Joyce has had a passion for chemistry. She earned a Master’s degree in chemical engineering from the University of Louisville's Speed Scientific School, and for 15 years worked as a process engineer in industrial scale distillation. She then spent a decade teaching high school chemistry and physics before her husband Bruce’s dream of opening a distillery reignited her passion for the distillation process—and the rest, as they say, is history. Her deep love for farm life, as well as her many years working her family’s land, have given her invaluable insight into growing the wide variety of crops used in Jeptha Creed’s products. It has also inspired the distillery’s distinct ground-to-glass maxim. In addition to being a Master Distiller and owner of Jeptha Creed, Joyce is a devoted mother of two who has a passion for all things Kentucky. She couldn’t be prouder to carry on the state’s long history of distilling the finest spirits in the world. Autumn Nethery’s Bio: Autumn comes by her love of distilling honestly—her mother is Jeptha Creed master distiller and co-owner Joyce Nethery. But it took a year at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland, studying the craft with some of the best distillers in the world to truly ignite her passion. Now Autumn is among the youngest distillery owners in the country and an integral part of making Jeptha Creed one of Kentucky’s most groundbreaking distilleries. Using what she learned traveling abroad with Semester at Sea, as well as through her studies at the University of Kentucky, where she earned her Bachelor’s in marketing, Autumn’s dream is to expand Jeptha Creed’s reach into every state, while still keeping the family feel the distillery is known for.

ENJOY! Check out Ora Organic Here CBD oil, or cannabidiol, is a big fad right now – but what the fork is it? It’s a compound found in both cannabis and hemp, but it is not the psychoactive chemical that can get you high (that’s THC). It does not heal or cure any kind of chronic illness, but it can be beneficial for individuals suffering from chronic illnesses and chronic pain. This is because CBD oil products react with the CB1 and CB2 receptors in your endocannabinoid system, which in turn helps that system in its efforts to regulate properly and achieve homeostasis. We also discuss: What CBD oil is + its benefits The difference between hemp-derived and cannabis-derived CBD oil Why all CBD oil is not made equal (and what you should be looking for) Different CBD oil extraction methods Why full spectrum hemp oil is the way to go CBD oil use for animals, including horses Other essential cannabinoids to look for After the interview, we tasted some of Lorri’s favorite products.

My life experiences and education have turned me organically into a natural medicine woman. I wanted to help others be healthy, I got serious about getting a real education in natural health arts and sciences. In 1985, I enrolled in chiropractic school, where I spent 40 grueling months of intense study. Pretty much the entire 4 years of school, I had recurrent muscle spasms in my lower back that would drop me to the floor and incapacitate me for days. My most pressing question all during chiropractic school was, ‘How am I going to know what my clients need?’ No one was helping me with my horrible back pain… how would I know what to do to help my people? Then I got my answer... Kinesiology! Muscle testing revealed why I had such terrible back pain. It was parasites, specifically, beef tapeworm. I shared mangroves and a creek with 3 cows the summer of 1975. Imagine that, I solved 7 solid years of excruciating, painful, tortuous, lingering health problems through kinesiology in less than 2 weeks, once and for all. Finally finding relief set me on my life path of learning, practicing and teaching kinesiology. I overcame SAD, the Standard American Diet, with its obesity, sickness, family pain, breast cancer, my own malignant melanoma, rattlesnake bite, years of intense itching, two bouts of stress-induced pericarditis and a few other things that would send most people to the ER. I did it naturally, and I learned mainly the hard way. You can learn the easy way. How? By modelling what I do with kinesiology and my conscious choice making tools. My coaching demonstrates, teaches and promotes personal self-reliance. Together, we craft a healthy lifestyle that fits you precisely.”

His accomplishments prior to these succulent beautiful beasts are irrelevant and, although he considers the prior path he’s been on an incredible journey filled with joy and wonderful lessons, the real path is this very moment and what he’s doing now. The restaurant world is all he’s ever known and he wouldn’t know how to exist without it. It’s because of this that he has devoted his life to creating unique and provocative bars and restaurants that force the competition to take notice. Currently he is working on 4 more restaurant/bars that should be open within the year. He is super jazzed about these openings and would love you all to visit them since they are completely cool and exciting. Kristian Cosentino has unhealthy love of Bad Religion and collecting vinyl. His goal is to experience the things that he’s watched his servers experience for 30 years, but didn’t have time to do himself. Kristian doesn’t believe it’s hip to be rude or mean to people and has a hard time understanding where this restaurant philosophy came from. Kristian looks forward to sharing a glass with you, provided his liver allows it. Kristian has been living in San Francisco for 17 years with an unnaturally talented pianist and a drag queen, both of whom he loves very much.

The O-Rig™BarBack™Tool) is a modern tool innovation conceived by professional bartender Dennis C. Oakley in 2005, with convenience in mind. The O-Rig™BarBack™Tool is a specially designed multi function tool developed initially to meet the needs of bartenders and servers as well as home/amateur food & beverage enthusiasts.

A compact, handheld unit, The BarBack™Tool boasts an elongated, rectangular shaped casing featuring softly rounded edges, inside of which a series of easily accessed food and beverage service tools are conveniently stored. The foundation of the design is derived from the standard stainless steel "flat bar" bottle cap popper, which is used widely among modern day bartenders worldwide. The finished product is a combination of the "flat bar" and other existing classic beverage tools and food preparation tools. "The BarBack Tool Company" concept was conceived by the founder, Dennis in 2005…but his road to the invention was a long and winding, across-the-country journey. Dennis was born and raised in New York, living in several places between Selden, Long Island, and upstate in the Catskills. His grandparents owned a local hotel and tavern in the small upstate hamlet of Palenville, where he lived for most of his youth. He began working in the Hotel and Restaurant Industry at the age of 13 as a busboy at a resort in Tannersville,

ENJOY! Check out Ora Organic Here Today, I toast great chefs, savvy managers, and fantastic food havens they create together. My guest today is Andrew Rasizer, the General Manager at B2 Bistro in Redbank New Jersey. B2 grew out of a dynamic partnership between Andrew and his Chef, Chez. It is amazing to see the ways they collaborate on menus, drinks, and innovation to create something truly magical. Making it in the food and beverage industry is all about finding your passion, and Andrew found his calling at the front of the house, rather than making the plates behind the scenes. After a trip to culinary school, Andrew found his true calling was executing a vision and inspiring innovation in a place that he loved. Now, locals, foodies, and critics rave over B2’s unique eats and attention to detail. Andrew is at a place in his career where he could truly go anywhere. I’ll raise a glass to that potential! Andrew's Bio: Andrew Rasizer acquired a passion for the food and beverage industry at a very young age. Running around his grandfather’s restaurant “Chicken Galore”, and watching him conduct business, instilled a drive in Andrew to become involved in every aspect of the industry. His first opportunity presented itself in high school, there Andrew participated in a two-year program at the Culinary Education Center in Asbury Park, NJ, where he graduated on the Dean’s List. During this time he also worked both front and back of the house at different establishments throughout the Jersey Shore. Focusing in the Culinary Arts, Andrew continued his education at The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY. There he completed his externship at restaurant Nicholas in Middletown, NJ, where he worked in the kitchen and discovered that his true passion lay in the front of the house where he could take care of guests, as well as be able to express and share his love for food and wine. Following, Andrew gained new employment at Piccola Italia in Ocean, NJ, continued his studies at CIA to obtain his Bachelors, while also maintaining a front of the house job on campus at American Bounty.

Since entering into restaurants, Marilyn has never stopped searching for new experiences, new flavors, and new ways to serve the people around her. From Japanese-French fusion to surf shacks to farm-to-table bistros, Marilyn has tried a bit of it all. “In our business, we have a lot of characters. That’s what we want!” - Marilyn Schlossbach This week, take a slice out of Marilyn Schlossbach's happiness pie and start thinking about the food you eat and the company you keep in an entirely new way. I was so excited to even begin to brush the surface of Marilyn’s amazing journey, and I know that you won’t want to stop once you begin either. We talk everything from making it in the crazy world of restaurants, digging up soil, and tasting new foods, and the inspiration we can draw from nature. Marilyn is a one-of-a-kind lady, and I can’t wait for you to meet her. Also in this episode: Creating a culture of happiness in the restaurant business. Each of Marilyn’s restaurants has a completely different cuisine and atmosphere. Being on a mission to develop self-confidence, with none of the sneaky guilt. Living presently in the midst of a lot of chaos. Overcoming the challenges of having ideas to start projects, and then finding the people to see them through. Prioritizing community outreach and farm-to-table…before it was trendy! The next step in local agriculture, plus discovering new delicious things that grow.
