EntrepreNOPE!

By David Clark

On EntrepreNOPE!, we shed a bright light into the dark corners of owning a brewery that people don't want to talk about. These are our realities and experiences, and it's our hope that our stories will help inform and educate anyone who wants to take on a similarly monumental task, even if it's not opening and closing a brewery. This is what it feels like when the universe says NOPE! to your dreams.

How's aBOT we lighten things up?

Now for something completely different, Amanda reads some "Bot" stories, where an AI program creates its own scripts for famous TV shows, news, and even regular situations like flying on a plane.  We hope you enjoy this nonsense as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you!


P.S. All credit for the bot stories goes to Keaton Patti, the hilarious and talented comedian who came up with these stories.
