This one is a first! Prior to my interview with this week’s guest Spencer Ploessl, I knew very little about him or his story. I usually put a fair amount of time into researching my guests’ backstory prior to inviting them on the show….but this week I’m trying something new. This time around, my research started and ended with me stumbling on a picture of Spencer along with a caption of him celebrating 365 days alcohol free. There was something about this picture that I felt drawn to and within a few minutes and a couple instant messages, we had a date to record the interview. With that being said, I couldn’t be happier with the way our conversation went. Spencer and I discuss what it’s like to be a craft beer connoisseur yet refrain from drinking alcohol. We examine the connection between our identity and drinking, and all of the opportunities made possible by changing our relationship with alcohol.
