What happened when Chris Grimes asked our MD, Sam Burrows, to share the 'story-behind-the-story' of Bristol Beer Factory and our community initiatives? We got a no-holds-barred insight into what it means to be an honest and humble leader of an independent brewery! "If you want to see what success looks like, it’s all about empowerment and that trust that comes from empowerment, so that the people that lead and run our teams – the different departments across our business – they are the ones that make the difference and allow me to do the projects I’m working on. They’re the guys that push this business forward and that takes trust, which is categorically number one. Me, I keep my nose out of everything and you know that’s what empowerment is, isn’t it? It’s allowing people to flourish, to develop, to learn… you almost want to make yourself redundant. That’s how I feel, if I’m doing my job as well as I can and empowering the people within the business to do their jobs as well as they can, they’ll hopefully be a little bit blinkered by their departments which leaves me to keep steering the ship."

Check out the latest episode of CPG Launch Leaders with Darcy Ramler and Allan Peretz.

This Thursday, December 5 is the inaugural presentation of STORYTELLING and the ART of STAGE PRESENCE at Side Hustle Taproom in Kirkland. The event is sold out. So is the January show. The next available seats (and there aren't many) are for the Feb 6 show. If that sells out, I will do one for March and so forth until I am fucking tired of it. For those of you in the Dec show, here's the set list: 0. 16:30: Bar closes to everyone except ticket holders. Get a drink, you're going to need it for the epic shit that is going down. Buy me one while you are at it. Pay it forward to the next person in line. This is where humanity starts people. 1. 17:00: Vocal and facial warm up. This is a routine I do before all my presentations. Usually, it's done in private and once I guide you through it you will know why. No pics or videos during this warm up. I have my fucking dignity. Late arrivals will miss it and it will not be repeated for any amount of begging or bribes. 2. 17:15: Buffet starts. Chef Patti has gone out of her way to dazzle you with vittles. I believe food and drinks are the great bonding agents for humanity. Get a plate, chat up your table mates. Talk about my foul fucking mouth, whatever. Be human. 3. 17:45: Showtime. Bar stays open during the show because this is how I roll. 4. 21:00: Show's over. We hang out. Take selfies, sign books and epic shit shirts. Last chance to liquor me up. 4. 22:00: Why are you still here? Get the fuck out of my bar. Wanna join us in Feb? Stop by Side Hustle and buy a ticket to save on booking fees. Online tickets sales at https://lnkd.in/eYfkPR4b. Strictly limited to 50 guests per session. Let the epic shit begin.
