105 Green Beacon Brewing Co - Adrian Slaughter (co-founder)
 
From Wall St financial trader to Green Beacon Brewing Co co-founder, Adrian Slaughter is blazing a trail in Brisbane’s craft beer industry.
 
A few weeks back Adrian & I sat down over a pint of the latest Green Beacon creation, their seasonal Half Mast India Session Ale and explored a range of amazing topics from how India Pale Ale earned its name back in the Indian colonial days, his mother-in-law Penny Coles, who was the founder one of the first female commercial real ale breweries in the UK, being in New York when shit hit the fan during the GFC, the new Green Beacon brewery, falling in love and cutting his teeth in the Brooklyn and New York craft beer scene.

Beard Season is a yearly event dedicated to Jimmy Niggles' close friend, Wes Bonny, who died in 2009 of cancer just three months after being diagnosed with melanoma. 
 
The following winter Jimmy Niggles and his mates played what is now an annual footie game in memory of Wes and in 2011 grew their beards in his honour through the winter, in an event they dubbed Beard Season.
 
Beard Season evolved has over the past 5-6 years into an ongoing campaign to spread the word about how important it is to check your skin for abnormalities that might lead to cancer only a yearly and to raise awareness of what to look for, particularly as most people, myself included, don’t know that the most people at risk from melanoma are blokes aged 18-45. 
 
On Wednesday night just gone, Jimmy and I sat down at for a Bronte Beach sunset of red wine, cheese and dips and recorded a podcast about skin cancer, Richard Branson, Graham Norton, the #MillionDollarBeard, dreams with dates & much much more. 
 
It’s inspiring to think that what was an event set-up to commemorate a good mate & top bloke,   has grown into a global phenomenon and it was just wonderful to spend with an individual who is striving to spend a large chunk of their time making a positive impact on the lives of others.
 
Enjoy the podcast. Hit me up on social media to let me know what you think!

Hot & Delicious: Rocks The Planet! creator Dan Wilkinson talks about the challenges of discovering you have 2 brain tumours at the age of 25 and not being sure if youre going to be alive in 6 months, going deaf in one ear, learning how to walk again and how you as a family member should treat someone who’s going through something so epic and a life-changing as a brain tumour, what to say and what not to say. Frank, open and honest.

102 Jaron Mitchell (founder) - 4 Pines Brewing Co.
Fascinating chats with 4 Pines Brewing Co founder & entrepreneur Jaron Mitchell!
 
From the minute I walk in through the front door of 4 Pines Brewing Co HQ on the shores of the Northern Beaches of Sydney, the whole planned landscape and direction of today's podcast interview changes markedly as I observe Jaron walk through the office saying hello to and addressing each and every individual staff member in the 4 Pines office by name as he makes his way towards me.
 
Throughout our time together I feel like one of those individuals who’s ever spent one-on-one time in a room with the likes of Bill Clinton or Tom Cruise... when the individual sitting before you is so clearly present and engaged in the conversation and the moment. 
 
We enjoy vast ranging chats around the evolution of 4 Pines from a 500L brewpub in Manly to being the first beer in space, learning about sour beers & different set-ups from the best in the business at Russian River Brewery in California, challenging the status quo from a young age, business management styles, the values and personality traits that drive your business decisions, leadership culture, staying true to your brand and values and so much more.
 
And if you take anything at all from this podcast, I guarantee you it’ll be this... The Quest Never Ends… The best ideas haven't even been invented yet!
