Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1312009/open_sms] It’s been three and a half years since I launched my first episode, deep in the COVID pandemic and at the helm of a California cider company. A lot has happened since then, I have talked to a lot of amazing people, and I have shared and learned a whole lot about being a female businesswoman in the alcohol industry. But now this podcast is coming to an end to make way for a new partnership, a new direction, and a new podcast. I’m saying both good bye and I’ll see you soon, excited about supporting the village in a bigger and better way. New Podcast COMING SOON August/September 2024!
