Pursuit of UnhappinessPursuit of UnhappinessKale Divelboss - Brewer at Chuckanut BreweryToday I’m joined by Kale Divelboss, brewer with Chuckanut Brewery based in Washington state. We dive into a range of things from him getting into craft beer - and a psychic telling him when he was going to move - wild, to business and music. This was a fun episode. So before we jump into the conversation, I wanted to share that after this episode comes out, I plan to take a hiatus from the show for a bit. I’m not sure how long, but I recognize the space I’m in right now and that m...2022-08-171h 10Pursuit of UnhappinessPursuit of UnhappinessLaura Ulrich - R&D / Small Batch Brewer at Stone Brewing CompanyWhat a special episode today. So much happened leading up to sharing this episode and a big part of that was that I came down with covid the day or the day prior to me recording with Laura. In the introduction I share how covid had a pretty significant impact on my mental health but also, how I waded the waters and learned some lessons along the way. BUT, I am SO excited to introduce my guest today. I sat down with a fellow brewer, Laura Ulrich. She’s been brewing well before me and I always sa...2022-08-031h 37Pursuit of UnhappinessPursuit of UnhappinessLisa Rome - On Getting SoberToday I want to share with you a conversation that I had with Lisa Rome. Lisa and I have followed each others journey's on social media for quite some time now, so when I saw her begin to post about her journey getting sober I immediately reached out to her. I felt like as brewers we don’t talk so much about the way alcohol can negatively impact our lives. In ways that can feel isolating. So, I really wanted to bring her on the show to talk about her journey, share some things she has learned and offer so...2022-07-211h 48Pursuit of UnhappinessPursuit of UnhappinessTim Zydek - To Øl Beer / Ex - Little Beast BrewingToday I want to share with you a conversation that I had with my friend Tim Zydek. He was one of the early listeners to this show and that became a way we connected, which I sincerely appreciate. Tim took through his journey from working in the culinary world to getting his foot into the beer industry and the lessons he learned along the way. I found it cool to learn what translated from him working in a kitchen and behind the bar to his job as a brewer. I wanted to catch him before he moved…to...2022-07-061h 03Pursuit of UnhappinessPursuit of UnhappinessPedram Valiani - Frontierer | SectionedHey Friends! Every episode, I take a deep dive with my guests about their life, experiences, life lessons with the goal to share with all of you new perspectives.

Chad started his podcast back in 2017 to simply learn about great people doing great things. Getting to know him a little bit more through our recording, I can tell you that he is probably one of the most curious people I’ve met. We share a wide ranging list topic from self discipline, abstaining from drinking (because fuck hangovers), to creating what you want to see in the world and more. I want to add a quick plug here that my othe...2022-06-081h 39Beer Me!Beer Me!Brewing TransitionsBreaking into a field and climbing the ladder is a challenge no matter what the endeavor.

We became fast friends and have found this mutual ground of curiosity about life and understanding things / people around us. What a better time to explore a topic familiar to him and new to me than introversion. We explore how that's defined for him along with how he deals with day to day life. In addition, Nico is a musician so I asked him all about how that factors into his life. Enjoy all of this and more (like how I put Nico...2021-09-0158 minPursuit of UnhappinessPursuit of UnhappinessEpisode 3 - Moss Clark Pt. 2I am so happy you came back for another round of Pursuit of Unhappiness. This week we are BACK with Moss Clark for PART 2! This episode we talk about relationships & love. One of the first things I noticed via social media was how Moss talked about his ex-wife. He was open, honest, and so fair about the whole situation. I knew I wanted to dive into his experience. As a fellow divorcée, I'm always curious about human connections and even more so how we maneuver through romantic relationships. We go deep and get incredibly vulnerable with our pasts. ...2021-08-111h 06Pursuit of UnhappinessPursuit of UnhappinessEpisode 4 - Jesse NovakWELCOME BACK to another deep dive on my journey.
