The Toll of Burnout and Craft's Barriers to Entry with Infinite Ingredient and Lifting Lucy
Listen now
Description
Infinite Ingredient founder and executive director Katie Muggli joins the Brewbound Podcast to discuss burnout in the brewing industry, how to recognize it, and what resources are available for both industry leaders and individuals. Recognizing burnout can help industry members physically and mentally, and can help strengthen business's bottom line, according to Muggli.  May is also Mental Health Awareness Month, so it’s a perfect time for this discussion, which was recorded on the trade show floor last month during the Craft Brewers Conference in Las Vegas.  Then, Ashlie Randolph chats with Brewbound managing editor Jess Infante about Lifting Lucy, the company Randolph co-founded that helps provide resources to women and non-binary people of color in the industry. Lifting Lucy helps industry members form deeper connections in beer, including providing financial assistance to travel to, attend and speak at conferences and networking events.  Randolph is also the global vice president for Pink Boots Society, International and on the advisory board for the National Black Brewers Association (NB2A).  Later in the episode, Justin and Zoe review the latest headlines, including Gallo’s strategic investment in Montucky Cold Snacks, and Boston Beer Company founder Jim Koch’s comments on the company’s need to repair its “embarrassing” reputation. Plus, the duo plays Another Round or Tabbing Out on resealable bev-alc packaging and candy-inspired beverages.
