Starting The Drink Culture Podcast| Fabian Rodriguez and Jared Byczko
On today's show I sat down with Fabian Rodriguez, founder of Culture Collaborative Media, and Jared Byczko, CEO of Myriad Fitness & Yoga, who also co-founded the influential Drink Culture Podcast. We explore how the podcast grew from humble beginnings in the Indianapolis craft beer scene to becoming a key storyteller for the city's entrepreneurial and business community. They share milestones including their partnership with HI-FI for live podcasts, the importance of connecting with local businesses, and even being honored with a dedicated Drink Culture Day by Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett. We also discuss the challenges they faced during the pandemic and ideas for potential future projects, including a listener-involved format for uncovering untold local stories.
