Hurray's Girl Beer isn't just another craft brand. It's a calculated rebellion against an industry stuck in the past. In this episode, Hurray's founder Ray Biebuyck joins Taste Radio editor Ray Latif and Brewbound managing editor Jess Infante to share her vision for a beer brand that doesn't just challenge convention, it openly mocks it. Witty, unapologetic, and intentionally unorthodox, Hurray's markets flavored light beers, including Pineapple Yuzu and Blueberry Lavender varieties, crafted not to honor tradition, but to disrupt it. The brand's satirical, female-forward positioning flips the script in a category that has long overlooked nearly a third of its audience: women. Ray discusses how Hurray's draws more from stand-up comedy than legacy brewing playbooks, using humor and irreverence as tools for connection, and conversion. She also reveals how this disruptive approach is translating into real-world traction, with Hurray's on track to reach over 3,000 retail locations, including Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, BevMo, Total Wine, Sprouts, and Walmart, by Q1 2026. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Ray Biebuyck, Founder & CEO, Hurray's Girl Beer – Ray traces her roots back to New England and her early career in the corporate world, with stints at J.P. Morgan and WeWork after graduating from college in New York City. She discussed how, at the onset of the pandemic, she stepped in to support operations for a local beverage alcohol brand and recognized a gap in the market: a disconnect between male-dominated beer branding and female consumers. Ray eventually launched Hurray's Girl Beer in 2024 and shares the uphill journey of pitching a new beer brand in a male-dominated, slowing market, and how she carved out a niche by courting an underserved audience. She recalls self-distributing cases out of a Toyota Camry to landing shelf space in 200 retail doors across Los Angeles and Orange County and how Girl Beer secured distribution at Whole Foods, BevMo, and Total Wine. Ray also details the pivotal relationship with an Anheuser-Busch-aligned distributor, which accelerated growth and expanded reach and why she believes the brand is on track for a breakout year in 2026. Brands in this episode: Hurray's Girl Beer, Shacksbury Cider, Woodchuck Cider, Magic Hat, Ben & Jerry's, Seventh Generation, Green Mountain Coffee, Poppi, Olipop, Liquid Death, Garage Beer, Surfside, Budweiser, Bud Light, Golden Road, Elysian, Busch, Heineken, White Claw, Truly, Bud Light Seltzer, Michelob Ultra, Friday Beers

From immigrant roots to transformative real estate projects, Rocio Hermosillo and Kuuku Saah are revitalizing the River Bend neighborhood in Des Moines, Iowa. Rocio—leader of Team Ella and one of NAHREP's top 100 Latino real estate professionals—built her career by prioritizing “work to learn” over “work to earn,” gaining mentorship, and using real estate as a tool for community impact.

Edwards discusses the Metro Center Mall's proposed $875 million mixed-use redevelopment by Emerchant Capital, covering 70 acres with private and public funding. Skeptical, he recalls failed past plans like an amusement park, high-rise condos, a Randy Travis truck stop, and a movie studio, labeling them pipe dreams. He argues the location in West Jackson dooms retail or residential efforts, suggesting alternatives like a prison, Amazon hub, casino, or charter school to spur economic activity. Listeners propose ideas via texts, including a youth outreach center, solar farm, event hall, or flea market, but Edwards favors job-creating ventures over non-profits.

Skin care has been the reigning queen of beauty for years—but that crown may be slipping. Is this just a phase or a sign that consumer behavior is evolving? In this episode of ASCP Esty Talk, Maggie and Ella unpack the so-called “skin care recession,” a major industry shift showing a slowdown in skin care sales and a rise in fragrance and makeup. Tune in as we explore what's driving the trend, how it's showing up in the treatment room, and what estheticians need to know to stay ahead.

SHOW NOTES: Welcome back, home improvement enthusiasts, to The Money Pit! We're here to guide you through another hour of tackling those household challenges and making your home sweet home even better. Here's what we'll be diving into this hour: - Top Late Summer Home Improvement Projects: Although summer is winding down, there's still time to tackle key projects, such as painting, sealing driveways, and late-season landscaping, to get your home ready to shine through the fall and beyond. - Revitalizing Your Lawn After Summer Stress: We'll be joined by Dr. Matthew Koch, R&D Research Fellow for Lawns at Scott's Miracle-Gro, who will share smart, easy-to-follow tips to help your lawn bounce back from the heat, heavy foot traffic, and backyard fun. - Restoring Your Roof with Roof Maxx: Learn how a simple treatment from Roof Maxx can restore your shingles, extend your roof's life by up to 15 years, and potentially save you up to 80% compared to a full roof replacement. - Smart Home Safety for Kids: We'll share three practical ways to make your home safer for little ones without turning it into a padded cell, focusing on window cords, furniture tipping, and stair safety.   Q & A: - Larry from Arkansas called about his landlord running an extension cord from his home to an attached shed, raising concerns about electrical support. We advised him that an extension cord is not a permanent solution and recommended running a proper underground circuit. - Michelle in Minnesota shared her issue with moisture seeping up through her laminate bathroom floor. We suggested she check the grading and drainage around her house, ensuregutters and downspouts direct water away, and consider a bathroom fan with a built-in humidistat to keep the floor dry. - Eunice in Arkansas noticed her retaining wall was turning white and powdery-looking, a phenomenon known as efflorescence. She should contact the manufacturer's technical experts to inquire about the issue, especially the drying process before coating and the consistency of paint batches. - Lewis had no hot water pressure after a new water heater installation and suspects clogged galvanized pipes in his old home. We inform him that galvanized pipes cannot be unclogged and advise replacing them with PEX piping for better durability and ease of installation. - Sherry in Oregon was worried about a loud snapping noise coming from her cast iron tub as it cooled down. We reassure her that this is likely "oil canning," a normal sound of metal expanding and contracting with temperature changes, and not a cause for concern. - Jack in Arkansas is dealing with a leaky steel storm shelter that has leaked since installation. We advise against welding and suggest sealing seams with silicone or potentially re-roofing the shelter with EPDM, a rubberized oofing product, to maintain structural integrity.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?

What happens when your business starts to feel like your whole identity? When you are your brand, where's the line between personal and professional?

Hillary Brown, Professor Emerita of Architecture at the City College of New York, joins Unfrozen to discuss her book Revitalize | Resettle, which explores how climate migration and rural revitalization can solve interlinked crises. Brown emphasizes that large U.S. cities alone cannot absorb climate-displaced populations due to infrastructural limits and rising costs. Instead, she proposes strategic resettlement in small towns and “micropolitan areas”—places often overlooked but rich in cultural value and potential. -- Intro/Outro: “24-Hour Limes” by The Cooper Vane -- Discussed: Hero towns leading the charge to accept climate migrants and flourish: Clinton, IA: Brownfield redevelopment and corridor revitalization Gorham and Milan, NH: Community Forest and Open Space Conservation Program Madison, IN: Main Street Program Morris, NY: Livingston County Development Group Norfolk, NE: North Fork Whitewater Park Ord, NE: Vibrant Future Fund Rock Port, MO: Wind Capital Group – First town in U.S. to be 100% wind-powered West Windsor, VT: Ascutney revitalization Jesse Keenan – Climate-Proof Duluth New York State Small-Town Revitalization T-Mobile hometown grants Parag Khanna, ecstatic nomad

In this bonus episode, Deqah unpacks equitable preservation-based development with Bree Jones, the Founder and CEO of Parity, an equitable development company headquartered in West Baltimore that acquires and rehabilitates abandoned properties by the block to create affordable home ownership opportunities. Bree started Parity in 2020 as a response to the gentrification and displacement she experienced in her hometown in NYC. Here, Deqah and Bree discuss the various levels of economic disinvestment that create hyper-vacancy and decay. Instead of pushing people out of their legacy lands and neighborhoods, Bree and the folks at Parity have envisioned a new way to develop, one that disengages from traditional, top-down forms of planning to combat gentrification and other historical place-based inequities such as America's legacy of urban renewal. Through this new approach, Bree has successfully generated over $60 million of investment in Black communities. Bree Jones is the CEO & Founder of Parity, a culturalist and nationally recognized systems change leader focused on revaluing Black neighborhoods and engendering Black wealth. If you haven't already, we recommend you watch her TED Talk, How to Revitalize a Neighborhood – Without Gentrification, that explicates this innovative vision. This episode is sponsored by Loyola University Maryland's Sellinger School of Business and Management.

"Cities across the globe have experienced urban blight, where districts that have seen a significant downturn in fortunes are abandoned, residential and business properties left vacant. Responding to this change in fortunes is becoming an industry in itself."What Causes Urban Blight -And What Can Be Done About it" ~ February 2023  blog.bluebeam.comMy Guest This Week Has Success in helping Real Estate Properties & Communities RevitalizeBlighted is a powerful narrative about the decades-long decay and remarkable two-year reinvention of Summerdale, an aging apartment community located in one of Atlanta's grittiest corridors. From burnt-out, mold-infested buildings to traumatized classrooms, Blighted unfolds in the voices of ruthless drug dealers, phantom tenants, fearless landlords, the working poor, educators, and visionary local leaders.After purchasing the property from an absentee overseas owner, Marjy Stagmeier and her partners methodically tackled the crisis festering inside the gated 244-unit apartment property. Two years of relentless work later, Stagmeier reveals how the team that she led built community from chaos. Through on-the-ground, in-the-moment interviews with a wide range of stakeholders, Stagmeier demonstrates how marginalized housing perpetuates intergenerational poverty and the collapse of nearby public schools while showing the multifaceted challenges of improving dire living conditions.Blighted offers a unique insider perspective of the political, human, and economic challenges of delivering equitable housing in a market fueled by inflationary prices, insatiable demand, and competing and often dubious agendas. Summerdale's success is a bright model of how affordable housing, education, healthcare, and social capital can interconnect to build vibrant, sustainable communities―affordable housing communities, nearby schools, and the community at large. From there, kids, families, working people, and neighborhoods can thrive.© 2025 Building Abundant Success!!2025 All Rights ReservedJoin Me on ~ iHeart Radio @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud
