I met Darryl at an NCIFT event about a year ago and we talked, and after the event, he invited me to drink with him and I got a free beer out of the deal. I talked his ear off about podcasting and he wanted to start one. Every month, when I saw him at an IFT event, I asked him if he started. 8 months later, this podcast came to life and I’ve been giving Darryl pointers ever since.
What’s great is that in almost every IFT event where Darryl and I are there, we gather a group of friends to go and drink at a local craft beer afterwards and it’s always a blast. If you’re in California, you’re welcomed to join us!
Just a disclaimer, this is a very long episode! If you want some good career advice, the first 45 minutes are full of that. The rest, we talk about random stuff and as I keep on drinking some really good beer. This includes topics such as marketing craft beers, describing beer in specific detail, slurring my words, and sprinkled in there are bits of wisdom, from all of the knowledge. So the first half, the standard fun stuff about my life. The second half, is a bit more chaotic and sporadic, but I found it pretty fun. You aren’t obliged to listen to the whole episode. Jump around a bit! This is a fun episode.
Sponsor: Salt of the Earth
I’m happy to introduce our newest sponsor: Salt of the Earth and their new ingredient, Mediterranean Umami, an all-natural and clean-label flavor enhancer and sodium reduction ingredient that works amazingly on meats, veggie-meats, soups and sauces and ready-meals. My friend, David gave me a bottle and I use it on my pasta sauces, or rice porridge to give it the satisfying umami depth I crave. Find the 2017 IFT Innovation Award Winner at IFT19 at booth number 2112 where they will be showcasing fresh food prepared with Mediterranean Umami. If you’re interested now, feel free to email them at info@salt.co.il
