SPECIAL SERIES INSPIRED BY THE COVID-19 CRISIS: Play and Creativity in Uncertain Times ************* We are in a time where it's really hard to think about play and creativity in the conventional ways. Performance venues, movie theaters, events, TV and movie productions are all shut down. We can't take creative classes or laugh with our friends in real life. I have struggled to talk about play in my typical way so I turned to the creative people in my world to learn how they are dealing with time. How has this crisis affected their creativity? How are they rethinking play during this time? What have they learned about themselves that can be relevant to us? In this conversation I chat with my friend, Chris Luecke, the host of two podcasts: Manufacturing Happy Hour and Pubcast Worldwide. We talk about how he has chosen to step up as a connector for the manufacturing community and how he is playfully using his qualities as an extrovert for good. We even get a surprise performance with him dressed up in character! For shownotes: https://louisepanwo.com/s3e4/
Travis Sheridan really does have the coolest job in the world. As the former President of Venture Café Global Institute (https://venturecafeglobal.org/) (and the current Chief Community Officer of Wexford Science & Technology), he’s traveled the globe helping establish innovation communities in cities like Warsaw, Tokyo, and Philadelphia. He’s basically the Anthony Bourdain of startups. In this episode originally recorded for the show Pubcast Worldwide (http://pubcastworldwide.com/) , Travis shares his thoughts on innovation and whom it should benefit. From scalable venture-backed startups to solving systemic societal issues, we cover a lot of ground, including: Why failure shouldn’t be celebrated Whose human condition is being improved by technology How innovation and collaboration vary from culture-to-culture We’ll even take a deep-dive into some of the specific Venture Café communities Travis has helped establish, including St. Louis, Rotterdam, and Sydney. There are plenty of parallels between startup life and the challenges manufacturers face – regardless of where you are in the world – and Travis has the passport stamps to prove it.

By day, Kim is the Brewmaster at San Francisco’s Social Kitchen & Brewery, but throughout the rest of the beer world, he’s best known for inventing the Brut IPA, the latest style craze in craft beer. In our first ever LIVE episode of Pubcast Worldwide recorded during San Francisco Beer Week 2019, Kim takes us through the story of the creation of the Brut IPA in front of a live audience at Ocean Ale House. But this story isn’t just about Kim, it’s a celebration of a beer style that truly evolved out of the Bay Area… As we drink our way through a flight of 7 Brut IPAs, you’ll hear from a panel of 4 other brewers from Northern California that share their own stories about their takes on the Brut IPA.

Is it possible to define the influence and legacy of Anthony Bourdain? He was an inspiration to so many people in the travel and culinary worlds, including many past guests of the Pubcast. In this special edition of Pubcast Worldwide, four former guests return to the show to discuss the impact Bourdain had on their own travels and careers, and the broader legacy he is leaving behind. Broke-Ass Stuart, Ryan Drysdale, Valerie Stimac, and Nathaniel Boyle join me in a conversation reflecting on their first experiences with Bourdain, his raw, authentic style that set him apart, and the lessons he taught us about travel, culture and empathy over the years. If you’re a regular listener of Pubcast Worldwide, you know that Bourdain was a major inspiration for this show. Just as Bourdain was a master of sharing the stories of others, it only felt appropriate to have others share their stories in return. Listen in, as we raise a glass to honor the life of Anthony Bourdain.

Sean Ogle is a Location Rebel. He’s also a bucket lister, avid golfer, and cocktail connoisseur. He’s traveled the world to pursue his work and passions, making him a perfect guest for Pubcast Worldwide. In 2009, Sean created Location Rebel, a set of resources and online community aimed at helping people build relevant skills for creating an online business that will allow them to adopt a location independent lifestyle. In this episode, we explore what it means to be location independent, tips for creating an online business, and Sean’s personal story of quitting his job, moving to Thailand, and ultimately creating Location Rebel. We met up at Pope House Bourbon Lounge in Sean’s hometown of Portland, OR for our interview. As the cocktails start to flow, Sean and I jump into some other conversations, including Sean’s love of Scotch and golf, his quest to visit the top 50 bars in the world, and his new site Hobby Hacking that teaches people how to turn their passion into a business.

I’M ON A BOAT! That’s right, this episode DOES NOT take place in a bar or brewery, but rather aboard a sailing yacht in the middle of the Adriatic Sea off the coast of Croatia. This special edition of Pubcast Worldwide is all about The Yacht Week, and the crazy skippers, hostesses, and international party animals that make this week-long sailing event one of the biggest ragers on the planet! On my recent holiday in Europe, I was lucky enough to have Brad Dupen as the skipper for our boat. Originally from South Africa, Brad has sailed and worked everywhere from the Bahamas to the coasts of England, and we decided his story was just too good to pass up for a Pubcast episode. While you’ll certainly get to hear about Brad’s own journey moving up in the nautical world, we also walk you through the antics of The Yacht Week as we share party stories over Croatian beers during our week at sea. But you won’t just have to hear it from us: plenty of other “Yacht Week All-Stars” contribute to the stories in this episode, creating a truly unreal show that will have you packing for The Yacht Week in no time!

That’s right, thirsty listeners! Pubcast Worldwide is now officially “Worldwide!” We travel to London, England for this episode for an impromptu afternoon at Brew By Numbers, a small-batch brewery right in the heart of London’s “Bermondsey Beer Mile,” where some of the city’s heaviest-hitters in England’s relatively new craft beer scene are located. Brewer Tobias “Toby” Gash joins the conversation to help us compare the respective beer scenes in the U.S. and his home in the U.K., where the craft beer phenomenon is roughly 5-years-young. But don’t let the age of the scene fool you…we tap into some delicious saisons and IPAs that could go up against North American beers any day of the week. Whether you’re looking for something light or something juicy, Brew By Numbers has you covered. They’re on-pace for producing more than 1 beer per week, and yes, they’re counting (obviously).
This world was meant to be explored. Wouldn’t you agree? There is something about the food we eat, the drinks we drink, and the places we go to get them that speaks loudly to the human experience. What better place to have a conversation about life and passion than over a couple of beers at a great local joint? This week’s guest thought that might just make an excellent podcast, and he did it! Chris Luecke is a podcaster, punk-rocker, engineer, and adventurer. Those might seem like wildly unrelated job descriptions, but Chris has managed to find a way to combine his love of beer, music, creativity, and engineering and turn into something truly great. Chris is behind the truly wonderful “Pubcast Worldwide,” and he sure knows a thing or two about having a vision and seeing it through. Join me this week as we raise a glass to new adventures, inspiring life stories, and excellent beer. “I’ve been able to have some fun adventures as a part of my side hustle…and now I’ve been able to find some ways to bring them together.” - Chris Luecke Show Highlights: Chris digs deep into his Midwestern roots to share how he came by his sense of adventure and love of beer.

We’re trying something new this week…welcome to the first installation of “Flight School,” a new mini-series within Pubcast Worldwide where we focus specifically on the beer! This week, we’re joined by Certified Cicerone Tino LaGamba of Boulevard Brewing as we taste and discuss a flight of 3 unique brews and the story behind this Kansas City brewery (but don’t worry, there are still drinking stories).
