Big things are happening with our very first recording in the brand-new studio and celebrated with our new beer sponsor, Roaring 20s Brewing Company, featuring their smooth Mexican Lager. Joining us at the table were our returning friend Jennie and special guest Mike Breed, owner of Between the Buns. We dove into Mike’s unique business, his vision for growth, and Jenny’s past role in helping shape it. Frank stirred the pot with some playful prodding about whether Jennie might jump back in, but it all stayed lighthearted and fun. Between cold beers, fresh banter, and Mike’s first-ever podcast appearance (complete with plenty of “Between the Buns” jokes), this episode delivers laughs, insights, and a toast to new beginnings. @betweenthebuns315 @roaring20sbrewery roaring20sbrewery.com
