Tiffanie Barriere, the drinking coach herself sits down with Greg and Sother to talk about her long and storied career behind - and in front of - many different bars. From the iconic “One Flew South” in Atlanta’s airport to helping empower folks who want to change the world, Tiffanie has been in lots of different situations and she’s been unapologetically herself in every single one. Tune in for a conversation that gets surprisingly deep about self-worth, the challenge of elevating black voices in a very white space, and the challenge of assigning a value to your work.

Plus (on a lighter note), White Claw has finally made an innovation that modern science had said was impossible. You heard it here first, the future is now.
