This is part 1 of 3 episodes where we sat down with Hugh and Caroline Sisson from Heavy Seas Beer. We wanted to hear the origin story of how this local craft brewery turned into a regional brewery. Hugh was doing craft beer before it was cool and, in many ways, watched the laws and the industry catch up to his ideas. He's quick to say that others inspired him, but we feel his pirate's attitude toward business has left a mark of its own as well.
Hugh and his daughter Caroline showed us the new taproom and shared their story with us. It included family, cannons, MD laws, sailing metaphors, pirate accents, and of course, beer tasting. They made us feel like part of the crew! Also, this was the first time we recorded audio and video on location with a guest, so be sure also to check out our YouTube channel for the whole experience!

Have you ever wondered how to handle an employee problem in your company and felt fear because you didn’t want to make a mistake that could cost you? Is it essential to have a company manual?

We talk to our friend, Jack Heald, a ridiculously talented marketer and ad writer. He shared his thoughts on how being curious and telling great stories brought him and the companies he works for success, and how a great story must help answer the burning questions of “Who am I?”, “Where did I come from?”, and “Why am I here?”

Michael Berardi is the general manager and co-founder of OCA Mocha, a coffee shop in our hometown of Arbutus. It's a coffee shop with a unique beginning and purpose and Michael has been there from the start. He's passionate about the community and helping to connect people, and he just so happens to do it with coffee, live music, and smiles. We learned about the ideas of “sociopreneurship” and how a coffee shop answered a question posed by the community of “How do we make Arbutus a college town and create a bridge between UMBC and the community?”

We talked with Bry Reinhardt from Popl! Bry is one of the founding team members and the current VP of Customer Success at Popl, a company that makes digital business cards possible! Have you ever found it awkward to exchange info with someone? Do you use old paper business cards or the super professional "Hey, call my number" approach? What if you could easily share all the ways that someone can connect with you and your company the moment you meet them with just a tap?

Who's Ryan Grimes?
I've created a healthy, profitable, thriving, multi-million dollar business in what some call a short period of time. I vow to put my God, wife, and children first. I won't miss a soccer game, a dance recital, or a parent-teacher conference. I won't allow my business to own me, I own my business, and that’s what I want for you. It wasn’t an easy journey for me, I sure didn’t know anything when I got started but I always have the mindset of, we can figure this out, or as my dad would say: there are many ways to dig a hole. I’ve created something to be proud of and that’s what we’re going to do for you. If you saw my resume, it would include a college degree, many sales courses from renowned and famous salespeople, 4 master technician licenses, an MHIC license, 2 patents, and two successful, profitable businesses. To me, nothing on my resume is important, it’s important to me that I have quality time with my family, my friends, and the men whom I pour into, and the ones that pour into me.
Who's Nate Wigley?
Hi! I'm Nate. I love building relationships based on trust, and I enjoy solving problems and creating systems that help teams be more efficient. This podcast is all about business and work, but to be honest, the most important titles in my life are husband, father, and friend. I am a lifelong learner, and I've strived to honor God with my family, business, and ministry by encouraging people to be their best while I've pushed to be my best.
When I'm not working, I'm in the wilderness on roads less traveled with my family and friends, riding mountain bikes or backpacking. I honestly feel more at home in the woods than anywhere else. And I love whisking my bride away on weekend adventures as frequently as possible!
I studied business and biblical studies in college and after getting married I helped run the family’s independent automotive repair business, growing it every year. I carry all of the automotive certifications that you can have, and I spent many years happily “turning wrenches” as a technician.
