Beer, Biz + BS

What Does It Mean to Stand Out? Some people just have it - that undeniable aura that surrounds them, no matter where they go. That's what I call PRESENCE, and in the final week of Beer, Biz + BS,  I'm talking to two women who seem to have been born with loads of it! Beny [https://www.instagram.com/benyashburn/] is Co-Founder & CEO of Black owned craft beer brand and brewery Crowns & Hops [https://crownsandhops.com/]. She was just recently celebrated as a Black Woman In Beverage by the James Beard Foundation and is just an all around DOPE woman. Rashan Ali [https://www.instagram.com/rashanali/] is Founder of Atlanta-based nonprofit Sporty Girls, Inc [https://sportygirlsinc.org/]. and the Cool Soror [https://www.instagram.com/coolsoror/] podcast and brand...and my BFF! Why is PRESENCE Important? PRESENCE is not only about what we embody and exude to others; it also speaks to our sense of personal, inward awareness. It means being awake and present in your body in each moment. Being present is important because it allows us to live life to its fullest - just as it's intended. In this article 3 Ways To Develop A Powerful Presence With Others [https://medium.com/the-mission/3-ways-to-develop-a-powerful-presence-with-others-3edb8a52be5e], the author says that "people who have presence have an inner radiance, since they are comfortable and content within themselves." I'll talk with Beny and Rashan about how they've been able to establish an outward PRESENCE in the world, while maintaining a sense of PRESENCE within. I've had some powerful conversations over the past three weeks, and I think this is the perfect one to end this second series of Beer, Biz + BS.

It’s week 3 of Beer, Biz + BS, and TONIGHT I shared the hour with Stacia, the owner of @TheLostDruid [https://www.instagram.com/TheLostDruid/] brewery in Avondale Estates, and the owner of Tracy Nicole Clothing (and my longtime friend), @TracyNicole [https://www.instagram.com/TracyNicole/]. Our topic is PASSION. ⭐️ Why is it important to have PASSION in our careers and everyday lives? ⭐️ Can PASSION be created and cultivated? ⭐️ What steps we can take to follow our PASSION? I hope you get something AMAZING from this episode!!

This week on Beer, Biz + BS, I’ll be talking about MOVEMENT with 2 movers and shakers: Alisa AKA @LadyLager1 [https://www.instagram.com/LadyLager1/] of @RhythymBrewingCo [https://www.instagram.com/RhythymBrewingCo/] and my sister Micki @MickiPhit [https://www.instagram.com/MickiPhit/], a 20-year Pilates instructor, online studio owner, and health and wellness influencer. ⭐️ Why is daily MOVEMENT important? ⭐️ How can we bring more MOVEMENT into our everyday lives? ⭐️ What does MOVEMENT in your career/industry look like? Grab your favorite cocktail and listen in to this great convo!

March is Women’s History Month, and to celebrate I am bringing back a special edition of Beer, Biz + BS. Each Thursday night will feature conversations with two ladies centered around a common theme. For episode 1 of this new season, I talked with a beer/food writer and photographer and a luxury goods designer about CREATIVITY!! I hope you enjoy the conversation 💕 #Cheers [https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/cheers/] #BeerBizBS [https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/beerbizbs/] #Creativity [https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/creativity/] #womenshistorymonth [https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/womenshistorymonth/]
