1
00:00:00,066 --> 00:00:01,167
All right, all right.

2
00:00:01,167 --> 00:00:04,471
Feeney Talks with friends. Episode 125.

3
00:00:04,771 --> 00:00:05,739
We're here at.

4
00:00:05,739 --> 00:00:09,876
We have Roasting and Brewing
with some very, very cool guests today.

5
00:00:09,909 --> 00:00:11,845
How are you doing, Chelsea? Good. Thanks.

6
00:00:11,845 --> 00:00:12,645
How are you doing, Greg?

7
00:00:12,645 --> 00:00:13,446
I'm doing well.

8
00:00:13,446 --> 00:00:14,647
It's good to be here. Great.

9
00:00:14,647 --> 00:00:17,183
This is 125.

10
00:00:17,183 --> 00:00:19,919
My name is Eric Feeney, founder
and president of Friends of Feeney.

11
00:00:19,919 --> 00:00:20,687
Our mission is to help

12
00:00:20,687 --> 00:00:23,990
children and families that need assistance
after heartbreak or tragedy.

13
00:00:23,990 --> 00:00:25,125
And I use this podcast.

14
00:00:25,125 --> 00:00:27,694
Feeney talks with friends,
and I talk to wonderful people

15
00:00:27,694 --> 00:00:29,229
that are doing great things.

16
00:00:29,229 --> 00:00:32,832
And Greg and Chelsea,
you have a you're doing great things.

17
00:00:33,333 --> 00:00:34,334
Multiple things.

18
00:00:34,334 --> 00:00:38,238
And we're going to get into
what's coming up in your upcoming events

19
00:00:38,238 --> 00:00:41,841
that that have a wonderful, outcome.

20
00:00:43,743 --> 00:00:45,145
So how are you feeling?

21
00:00:45,145 --> 00:00:47,313
I'm feeling good. I'm feeling excited.
Yeah.

22
00:00:47,313 --> 00:00:51,384
Just, a few couple weeks away
from our new, beer tour coming up.

23
00:00:52,185 --> 00:00:53,753
Yeah, he said it. Beer tour.

24
00:00:53,753 --> 00:00:56,523
The Connecticut beer tour.
This is the second one.

25
00:00:56,523 --> 00:00:57,991
This is the second one.

26
00:00:57,991 --> 00:01:00,894
Last year,
I participated in the visionaries

27
00:01:00,894 --> 00:01:04,864
of the year campaign for the Leukemia
and Lymphoma Society and decided

28
00:01:04,864 --> 00:01:08,401
if I'm going to raise money for ten weeks,
why not have some fun doing it?

29
00:01:09,135 --> 00:01:13,239
So I came up with the idea
of putting together a beer tour and,

30
00:01:13,506 --> 00:01:17,410
I thought maybe I'd get 510 breweries
to opt in.

31
00:01:17,444 --> 00:01:21,648
Well, no, I had 23 that
that jumped in on the bandwagon.

32
00:01:21,648 --> 00:01:25,251
And so I went to 23 breweries over
ten weeks.

33
00:01:25,585 --> 00:01:27,120
So, bless my wife.

34
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,790
Every Friday and Saturday night,
we were hanging out at a brewery

35
00:01:31,091 --> 00:01:34,027
and some Wednesdays and Thursdays
to get them all in,

36
00:01:34,027 --> 00:01:37,030
to raise money for the Leukemia
and Lymphoma Society.

37
00:01:37,363 --> 00:01:40,500
As a result of that,
we we raised a lot of money to

38
00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:43,503
to make a real impact
in the battle against blood cancers.

39
00:01:43,536 --> 00:01:43,803
Yeah.

40
00:01:43,803 --> 00:01:45,505
Got it down here.

41
00:01:45,505 --> 00:01:48,174
Almost $120,000. Correct?

42
00:01:48,174 --> 00:01:50,176
Yes. Yep. Very cool.

43
00:01:50,176 --> 00:01:52,078
And lymphoma and leukemia society.

44
00:01:52,078 --> 00:01:53,513
That's where Chelsea comes in. Yep.

45
00:01:53,513 --> 00:01:54,848
The Keenan lymphoma society.

46
00:01:54,848 --> 00:01:57,450
I'm the market
director here in Connecticut.

47
00:01:57,450 --> 00:01:59,119
We have three fundraising campaigns.

48
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:02,288
Visionaries of the year is the campaign
that Greg was mentioning.

49
00:02:03,123 --> 00:02:05,825
So we've got a team
of five of us here locally.

50
00:02:07,127 --> 00:02:08,328
Been here for.

51
00:02:08,328 --> 00:02:09,829
We're kind of a newer market, actually.

52
00:02:09,829 --> 00:02:12,832
We just set up a board in the past
couple of years.

53
00:02:12,932 --> 00:02:15,368
Have a couple committees
working and a lot of good.

54
00:02:15,368 --> 00:02:16,136
A lot of good work.

55
00:02:16,136 --> 00:02:18,271
Group 44% year over year.

56
00:02:18,271 --> 00:02:21,307
Nice numbers, nerd,
but not as good as this numbers nerd.

57
00:02:22,075 --> 00:02:24,978
So what is the visionary of the year?

58
00:02:24,978 --> 00:02:26,045
Now, is that something that.

59
00:02:26,045 --> 00:02:28,348
Can you get that again this year or.

60
00:02:28,348 --> 00:02:30,550
No. So it's a one shot deal. Gotcha.

61
00:02:30,550 --> 00:02:34,854
So every spring,
the Leukemia Lymphoma Society, sponsors

62
00:02:34,854 --> 00:02:37,857
these campaigns across the country
and in local cities,

63
00:02:38,291 --> 00:02:40,860
and they nominate individuals to lead

64
00:02:40,860 --> 00:02:43,863
teams to do a fundraising campaign.

65
00:02:43,863 --> 00:02:47,066
And you have ten weeks
to raise as much money as you can.

66
00:02:47,534 --> 00:02:52,405
And the team that raises the most money
is crowned the visionary of the year.

67
00:02:52,539 --> 00:02:53,373
Very nice.

68
00:02:53,373 --> 00:02:56,342
And so I was one of six candidates
last year.

69
00:02:56,976 --> 00:03:00,446
And we raised over $329,000

70
00:03:00,446 --> 00:03:03,583
as a group, to benefit the Leukemia
and Lymphoma Society.

71
00:03:03,950 --> 00:03:06,219
Well, congratulations. That that's a job
well done.

72
00:03:06,219 --> 00:03:07,954
Very good. And thank you.

73
00:03:08,922 --> 00:03:11,291
I wasn't kidding when we talked to people
that do great things.

74
00:03:11,291 --> 00:03:14,494
So I'm so honored to talk with you,
Greg and Chelsea.

75
00:03:15,261 --> 00:03:16,196
Great team.

76
00:03:16,196 --> 00:03:19,199
How did you guys meet?
Where did this start?

77
00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:20,867
That's funny.

78
00:03:20,867 --> 00:03:22,468
Shout out to Lindsay over here.

79
00:03:22,468 --> 00:03:24,304
That's how I met you through Lindsay.

80
00:03:24,304 --> 00:03:28,241
For years, Lindsay had worked with you
through your work with TMC,

81
00:03:28,241 --> 00:03:31,211
and she worked with us for a while.
She's a board member for a while.

82
00:03:31,211 --> 00:03:33,012
Lindsay. David. Her son's survivor.

83
00:03:33,012 --> 00:03:35,081
Gavin. In the community.

84
00:03:35,081 --> 00:03:37,016
And love that family.

85
00:03:37,016 --> 00:03:40,820
And she had her eye on Greg
when we started visionary.

86
00:03:40,820 --> 00:03:44,123
So this spring will be our fourth
visionaries of the year campaign

87
00:03:44,123 --> 00:03:47,126
because again, like I mentioned,
we're a little bit newer here.

88
00:03:47,327 --> 00:03:50,763
Like just not new with us,
but new new here locally.

89
00:03:51,030 --> 00:03:53,566
And she was like, you've got to get Greg.

90
00:03:53,566 --> 00:03:55,101
Greg is your man.

91
00:03:55,101 --> 00:03:58,771
So he kept saying, no,
but not for the wrong reasons.

92
00:03:58,771 --> 00:04:01,674
He was saying no because it just wasn't
the right exact moment.

93
00:04:01,674 --> 00:04:04,877
And I think he was plotting
and planning to make the biggest impact.

94
00:04:05,211 --> 00:04:06,212
Good. Speak for yourself.

95
00:04:07,380 --> 00:04:10,383
But that's
how I met Greg is through Lindsay.

96
00:04:10,383 --> 00:04:13,753
Yes, I've been doing a lot of,
fundraising and friend

97
00:04:13,753 --> 00:04:16,756
raising for the Connecticut Children's
Medical Center for many years.

98
00:04:17,023 --> 00:04:20,393
And, got to know Lindsay David
through that connection.

99
00:04:20,793 --> 00:04:23,796
And she introduced me to Leukemia
Lymphoma Society.

100
00:04:25,865 --> 00:04:27,166
Unfortunately for me,

101
00:04:27,166 --> 00:04:30,703
my dad passed away back in 2015
from multiple myeloma.

102
00:04:31,271 --> 00:04:35,108
So it's always been a cause
that's dear to my heart to make an impact

103
00:04:35,108 --> 00:04:39,212
for other families,
not to have to deal with the same type of,

104
00:04:40,413 --> 00:04:42,849
diagnosis and hopefully at some point

105
00:04:42,849 --> 00:04:45,852
have a cancer free future.

106
00:04:46,386 --> 00:04:47,787
And I saw Ken. Right.

107
00:04:47,787 --> 00:04:49,489
Ken was your dad. That's correct.

108
00:04:49,489 --> 00:04:51,157
And he was a mayor.

109
00:04:51,157 --> 00:04:53,726
He was all sorts of things.

110
00:04:53,726 --> 00:04:56,663
He definitely is my role model.

111
00:04:56,663 --> 00:04:59,432
Talk about making an impact.

112
00:04:59,432 --> 00:05:02,602
I like to say that I learned to play golf
at the age of eight,

113
00:05:02,602 --> 00:05:06,639
and by my teenage years,
I played with the mayor of my town,

114
00:05:07,006 --> 00:05:11,077
the town councilman, the president of the
rotary Club, the treasurer of my church,

115
00:05:11,077 --> 00:05:14,614
or the vice president
of a metal manufacturing company.

116
00:05:14,614 --> 00:05:17,650
But all of them were my dad and,

117
00:05:18,785 --> 00:05:20,753
grew up, helping him

118
00:05:20,753 --> 00:05:24,991
have a political campaign as well as just
making an impact in the community.

119
00:05:24,991 --> 00:05:30,730
And so although we never really had
a conversation about it, I just learned

120
00:05:30,730 --> 00:05:34,734
from his example that I wanted
to give back to the community.

121
00:05:34,801 --> 00:05:37,670
And so I've tried to follow
in his footsteps.

122
00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:39,405
That's amazing.

123
00:05:39,405 --> 00:05:40,773
Well, I'm sure he's proud of you.

124
00:05:40,773 --> 00:05:43,543
So keep up the good work.

125
00:05:43,543 --> 00:05:44,143
Where was he?

126
00:05:44,143 --> 00:05:47,146
A mayor in Cimarron, New York.

127
00:05:47,146 --> 00:05:47,413
Okay.

128
00:05:47,413 --> 00:05:52,051
Which, you talk about
trivia is the birthplace of Lucille Ball.

129
00:05:52,652 --> 00:05:54,754
So if you watch that episode,
they'll talk about.

130
00:05:54,754 --> 00:05:58,791
So around New York, outside of Jamestown,
New York. And,

131
00:05:59,192 --> 00:06:04,864
there's actually the international comedy
Hall of Fame in Jamestown, New York.

132
00:06:05,331 --> 00:06:07,800
Interesting.
So fun fact. Learned something new.

133
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:08,501
I didn't know that.

134
00:06:09,769 --> 00:06:11,871
And you are a wealth advisor.

135
00:06:11,871 --> 00:06:12,071
Right?

136
00:06:12,071 --> 00:06:15,308
I am, or I like to refer to myself
as a financial coach.

137
00:06:16,142 --> 00:06:19,679
Because a lot of times it's
not necessarily getting advice,

138
00:06:19,679 --> 00:06:23,416
but having somebody coach you
to get through the tough times

139
00:06:23,416 --> 00:06:26,986
of the financial markets
as well as coach you up into leading

140
00:06:27,019 --> 00:06:30,490
a life of higher potential than you think
you might be able to achieve.

141
00:06:31,324 --> 00:06:34,160
And you had a podcast,
so you're on our podcast,

142
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,230
but you also have like your Money
Your Purpose podcast.

143
00:06:37,263 --> 00:06:38,965
Tell us about that. Sure.

144
00:06:38,965 --> 00:06:42,135
So over the years,
we've had two radio shows.

145
00:06:42,135 --> 00:06:43,936
Our latest was Your Money, Your purpose.

146
00:06:43,936 --> 00:06:48,207
And, we did that for three years,
and had a half hour radio show

147
00:06:48,207 --> 00:06:51,210
that then converted
into a podcast as well.

148
00:06:51,944 --> 00:06:56,749
So trying to get the some good
financial information out to everybody.

149
00:06:56,783 --> 00:06:59,786
Yeah. You offer podcasts,
you offer classes.

150
00:06:59,852 --> 00:07:01,487
You're so you're big in education.

151
00:07:01,487 --> 00:07:02,455
I'm a third grade teacher.

152
00:07:02,455 --> 00:07:04,424
So teaching people is what I do.

153
00:07:04,424 --> 00:07:05,958
And that's what you seem to be doing too.

154
00:07:05,958 --> 00:07:08,294
But for financial literacy. Correct.

155
00:07:08,294 --> 00:07:12,598
We believe our our best client
is a well-educated, client.

156
00:07:12,598 --> 00:07:16,803
And so we spend a lot of time
and effort on education, not only through,

157
00:07:17,103 --> 00:07:20,373
monthly education workshops
that we call our Financial Power hour.

158
00:07:21,073 --> 00:07:26,012
But also I release every Friday
a 62nd YouTube short

159
00:07:26,412 --> 00:07:28,681
and a financial tip for the week,

160
00:07:28,681 --> 00:07:31,551
that goes out through YouTube
in our social media channels.

161
00:07:31,551 --> 00:07:32,051
Nice.

162
00:07:32,051 --> 00:07:34,821
How does that
how do views on your 60 minute,

163
00:07:36,088 --> 00:07:36,622
weekly thing?

164
00:07:36,622 --> 00:07:38,057
How would your average view,

165
00:07:38,057 --> 00:07:40,493
if you don't mind me asking,
just from a podcast perspective?

166
00:07:40,493 --> 00:07:41,727
And social media.

167
00:07:41,727 --> 00:07:46,365
Our our views right now, they've been
creeping up as we get more subscribers.

168
00:07:46,833 --> 00:07:51,437
You know, it's always interesting, a topic
that I think that is going to rocket,

169
00:07:52,405 --> 00:07:55,208
doesn't do so well, you know,
and then that was that.

170
00:07:55,208 --> 00:07:57,076
I'm thinking now,
I don't know if this is going

171
00:07:57,076 --> 00:08:00,079
to go anywhere it
all of a sudden takes off. Yep.

172
00:08:00,246 --> 00:08:04,116
So on average,
probably a couple hundred to 500 views.

173
00:08:04,116 --> 00:08:05,785
Nice.

174
00:08:05,785 --> 00:08:08,454
I've noticed that too,
with our social media piece

175
00:08:08,454 --> 00:08:11,791
with podcasts or a real or a video like,

176
00:08:12,091 --> 00:08:15,962
you know, just me talking informal,

177
00:08:16,062 --> 00:08:19,165
you know, shoot from the hip talk
like, does very well.

178
00:08:19,432 --> 00:08:23,002
But if you plan and prep
and do all this stuff, you never know.

179
00:08:23,035 --> 00:08:24,437
You never know.

180
00:08:24,437 --> 00:08:25,771
So I was just interested.

181
00:08:25,771 --> 00:08:28,274
But videos are the way to go.
We're not doing too many.

182
00:08:28,274 --> 00:08:30,676
Still shot photos with a lot of words
anymore.

183
00:08:30,676 --> 00:08:35,548
Like kids want the reels and the videos
in 60s because of attention span is.

184
00:08:35,548 --> 00:08:38,351
I guessing that's why you do it that way?
That's exactly it.

185
00:08:38,351 --> 00:08:42,421
So one of the primary focuses
of our financial advisory

186
00:08:42,421 --> 00:08:46,025
firm is working with families
across multiple generations.

187
00:08:46,025 --> 00:08:49,028
So our goal is to work with families
across three generations.

188
00:08:49,262 --> 00:08:52,431
So we're working with the grandparents
and the kids and the grandkids.

189
00:08:52,832 --> 00:08:57,236
Our youngest client is ten years old,
and we go all the way up to over 100.

190
00:08:58,004 --> 00:08:59,739
So we cover the wide spectrum.

191
00:08:59,739 --> 00:09:03,309
But yes, as we try
to reach those younger generations,

192
00:09:03,643 --> 00:09:06,212
they're not going to watch a 45 minute
workshop.

193
00:09:06,212 --> 00:09:10,283
So we wanted a way for them
to get some good information,

194
00:09:10,283 --> 00:09:13,286
in short, nuggets
that they be able to absorb.

195
00:09:13,653 --> 00:09:14,820
Very interesting.

196
00:09:14,820 --> 00:09:15,121
All right.

197
00:09:15,121 --> 00:09:17,857
We're going to come back to you
with the three keys that make your job.

198
00:09:17,857 --> 00:09:19,525
What what what's very good.

199
00:09:19,525 --> 00:09:23,095
The three keys that will, you know, help
you do your job.

200
00:09:23,296 --> 00:09:25,898
So think about that,
and then we're gonna go to Chelsea.

201
00:09:25,898 --> 00:09:28,901
Chelsea is our campaign
development director.

202
00:09:30,503 --> 00:09:31,170
How's that going?

203
00:09:31,170 --> 00:09:32,738
So you've been doing it for four years?

204
00:09:32,738 --> 00:09:34,807
I've been with at least
for seven years. Seven.

205
00:09:34,807 --> 00:09:37,143
But I actually was in Ohio before
and moved here.

206
00:09:37,143 --> 00:09:37,877
So like in.

207
00:09:37,877 --> 00:09:40,880
New York, Connecticut
and Eastern New York, Albany area.

208
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,282
We're in the Connecticut,
Albany, eastern New York area.

209
00:09:43,282 --> 00:09:45,351
And I run the market of Connecticut. Nice.

210
00:09:45,351 --> 00:09:48,988
And what's your daily, job
look like for marketing?

211
00:09:49,055 --> 00:09:50,823
For for marketing? Yes.

212
00:09:50,823 --> 00:09:52,124
You know, it's interesting.

213
00:09:52,124 --> 00:09:53,192
I feel like I had this

214
00:09:53,192 --> 00:09:56,762
this kind of feels like that coffee chat
we had when I was like, my job is shifted.

215
00:09:57,697 --> 00:10:00,533
I just had this conversation with him
and was like, I need some help.

216
00:10:00,533 --> 00:10:01,300
It has shifted.

217
00:10:01,300 --> 00:10:04,737
So it is a lot more on my plate
around marketing and getting the word out.

218
00:10:04,737 --> 00:10:07,740
And it used to be very much like,
this is our fundraising campaign.

219
00:10:07,740 --> 00:10:10,443
We're going to raise these dollars.
Let's talk to the people that we know.

220
00:10:10,443 --> 00:10:15,214
And now shifting into like a geography
versus like a campaign revenue stream.

221
00:10:16,082 --> 00:10:16,482
Yeah.

222
00:10:16,482 --> 00:10:21,253
My job is a lot more about working
with our volunteers and who they know.

223
00:10:21,253 --> 00:10:23,489
So I'm sitting down at a lot of coffees.

224
00:10:23,489 --> 00:10:25,358
I'm sitting down at a lot of lunches.

225
00:10:25,358 --> 00:10:28,361
I'm sitting down for a beer
with a lot of people right now.

226
00:10:28,494 --> 00:10:31,364
Just getting to know people,
getting to know what makes them tick,

227
00:10:31,364 --> 00:10:33,766
getting to know their stories.
Do they have a cancer connection?

228
00:10:33,766 --> 00:10:36,802
Do they have time in their schedule
or interest

229
00:10:36,802 --> 00:10:38,738
to commit to something philanthropically?

230
00:10:38,738 --> 00:10:42,208
Totally different than what
I've been doing for years, you know,

231
00:10:42,208 --> 00:10:44,510
so it is it's been a real shift,
but I'm loving it.

232
00:10:44,510 --> 00:10:46,612
And what was that prior to.

233
00:10:46,612 --> 00:10:48,948
It was really just, you know,
I still have the revenue, right?

234
00:10:48,948 --> 00:10:50,750
Like that's going to be the focus
because we know that

235
00:10:50,750 --> 00:10:52,952
dollars are what's going to cure this long
term.

236
00:10:52,952 --> 00:10:55,388
But, and just help people along the way.

237
00:10:55,388 --> 00:10:59,959
But just more focused now broadly for less
bringing people

238
00:10:59,959 --> 00:11:03,329
into the LLS family and introducing them
to what we're doing here.

239
00:11:03,963 --> 00:11:05,898
And then finding the right home
instead of, hey,

240
00:11:05,898 --> 00:11:10,202
this is what we have to do right now
and kind of fitting people in very nice.

241
00:11:10,536 --> 00:11:10,970
Yeah.

242
00:11:10,970 --> 00:11:13,739
And I saw that you're a Georgia
bulldog. Huge.

243
00:11:13,739 --> 00:11:14,473
How did you know that?

244
00:11:14,473 --> 00:11:17,410
But yeah. Yeah, I do my research.
Good. Research huge. Yes.

245
00:11:17,410 --> 00:11:17,710
And it's

246
00:11:17,710 --> 00:11:20,780
been a really rough year in our household
because my husband's a Penn State fan.

247
00:11:20,780 --> 00:11:24,350
So like, we lost and then they lost
and we were like, all right, fine.

248
00:11:24,350 --> 00:11:26,252
So we were pulling for Ohio State
last night

249
00:11:26,252 --> 00:11:27,620
because we moved here from Ohio.

250
00:11:27,620 --> 00:11:29,522
And we feel a little bit okay, okay.

251
00:11:29,522 --> 00:11:32,958
In case anyone's wondering or cares,
we're big college football fans.

252
00:11:32,958 --> 00:11:34,326
Something nice.

253
00:11:34,326 --> 00:11:36,362
I'm going to swing it back to you
for your three keys.

254
00:11:36,362 --> 00:11:37,563
Oh, boy. I'd have to, Greg.

255
00:11:37,563 --> 00:11:40,232
Three keys
or let me go into some sponsors,

256
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,202
of the Fannie Talks of Friends podcast.

257
00:11:43,202 --> 00:11:46,338
We're here at Lehigh
Roasting and Brewing, 311 Shield Street.

258
00:11:46,338 --> 00:11:47,807
Thank you Cody.

259
00:11:47,807 --> 00:11:51,177
Great place also on the beer tour list.

00:12:05,424 --> 00:12:07,226
This is great, Cody.

268

I usually have them all off top hand,
but he was early.

276

277
00:12:28,781 --> 00:12:30,883

right around the corner West
Hartford lock.

284
00:12:51,971 --> 00:12:53,172
What are three keys?

285
00:12:53,172 --> 00:12:55,174
See what I got to swing that
in. How to swing that in?

286
00:12:55,174 --> 00:12:56,909
Three keys
that make you great at your job.

287
00:12:56,909 --> 00:12:59,411
Sponsored by West Hartford Lock.

288
00:12:59,411 --> 00:13:03,482
Three keys that make me great at
my job is take the time to listen, okay?

289
00:13:03,783 --> 00:13:09,388
That, we want to make sure that whatever
we accomplish, it's what you want to.

290
00:13:09,455 --> 00:13:12,558
It's not just, giving blank advice.

291
00:13:13,459 --> 00:13:16,061
Second is the education component of it.

292
00:13:16,061 --> 00:13:18,931
I wholeheartedly believe in education.

293
00:13:18,931 --> 00:13:22,001
And then the third is
we really care about families.

294
00:13:22,601 --> 00:13:24,503
So similar to friends of Feeney.

295
00:13:24,503 --> 00:13:25,771
We care about children.

296
00:13:25,771 --> 00:13:29,909
And getting them started early on the path
to to financial freedom and.

297
00:13:30,409 --> 00:13:32,578
Great listen education.

298
00:13:32,578 --> 00:13:33,813
Children love it.

299
00:13:34,947 --> 00:13:36,182
It's all about the kids.

300
00:13:36,182 --> 00:13:37,683
Absolutely.

301
00:13:37,683 --> 00:13:39,451
Three keys Chelsea.

302
00:13:39,451 --> 00:13:41,420
Chelsea Dropkick two, by the way.

303
00:13:41,420 --> 00:13:42,121
Thank you.

304
00:13:42,121 --> 00:13:45,958
Know actually it's drop drop pick
but it's quick as a

305
00:13:47,393 --> 00:13:49,929
future wrestling podcast
coming to you guys.

306
00:13:49,929 --> 00:13:52,064
We're going to talk wrestling
so we're. Here for. It.

307
00:13:52,064 --> 00:13:53,933
Good segue here. Segue.

308
00:13:53,933 --> 00:13:55,801
But it's drop it. So go ahead Chelsea.

309
00:13:55,801 --> 00:13:56,335
No you're good.

310
00:13:56,335 --> 00:13:59,038
He sold my first one
which I think is for most jobs. Right.

311
00:13:59,038 --> 00:14:00,172
And that's listening. Right.

312
00:14:00,172 --> 00:14:03,475
So I think listening
definitely is the most useful.

313
00:14:04,143 --> 00:14:07,446
Second I would say remembering your why
and everyone's why, right.

314
00:14:07,446 --> 00:14:12,451
Like it is a job for me,
but it is like a horrible reality.

315
00:14:12,451 --> 00:14:16,322
Cancer is for so many people
and so destructive on families and just,

316
00:14:16,322 --> 00:14:17,423
just because really, really deep.

317
00:14:17,423 --> 00:14:21,126
So if I remember my why, it's
so much more than a job for me.

318
00:14:21,126 --> 00:14:24,129
So I think remembering my
why and everybody else's

319
00:14:24,129 --> 00:14:25,297
why while we're doing that

320
00:14:25,297 --> 00:14:29,134
and then empathy I'm definitely,
you know, have a team that I manage now.

321
00:14:29,134 --> 00:14:32,171
So I would say empathy for my volunteers
but also our team.

322
00:14:32,171 --> 00:14:33,172
Right. Like we're all human.

323
00:14:33,172 --> 00:14:35,608
We're doing our best
like no one wants to fail.

324
00:14:35,608 --> 00:14:38,978
So like just empathy, like what
we're dealing with everybody knowing.

325
00:14:38,978 --> 00:14:40,412
We're all doing our best.

326
00:14:40,412 --> 00:14:42,681
Listening. Yeah,
I hear that one a lot. Listening.

327
00:14:44,617 --> 00:14:46,285
Empathy, all that empathy all the time.

328
00:14:46,285 --> 00:14:49,288
But listening, networking,
being personable.

329
00:14:49,521 --> 00:14:53,025
But yeah, you got a tough position,
but you're doing a good thing

330
00:14:53,025 --> 00:14:56,028
for a good cause,
so keep doing what you're doing.

331
00:14:56,028 --> 00:15:00,633
Also, let's talk about a common friend
that we all have that brought you here.

332
00:15:01,267 --> 00:15:03,302
Laura moran. Do you guys know Laura?

333
00:15:03,302 --> 00:15:04,203
Oh, yeah.

334
00:15:04,203 --> 00:15:05,137
Laura.

335
00:15:05,137 --> 00:15:07,039
So, what's Laura's position?

336
00:15:07,039 --> 00:15:08,641
She has a position now with you.

337
00:15:08,641 --> 00:15:11,377
So she doesn't anymore by her own choice.

338
00:15:11,377 --> 00:15:14,113
Let me make that super. Clear
after the game.

339
00:15:14,113 --> 00:15:14,546
Oh, right.

340
00:15:14,546 --> 00:15:17,850
I know she she's, I think, hooked us up
in the very beginning.

341
00:15:18,150 --> 00:15:19,919
And then she was really excited.

342
00:15:19,919 --> 00:15:21,353
She was actually a temp for us.

343
00:15:21,353 --> 00:15:22,888
She was helping us out loud.

344
00:15:22,888 --> 00:15:26,792
We had a guy out on a paternity leave and,
she was tremendous

345
00:15:26,792 --> 00:15:28,994
and we would have kept her on,
but she had something that came up

346
00:15:28,994 --> 00:15:32,131
that was a perfect, perfect place
for her to go next.

347
00:15:32,131 --> 00:15:34,800
So we're excited for her.
No, she's an amazing person.

348
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,435
He is, Johnny's job.

349
00:15:36,435 --> 00:15:38,504
If you don't know. Laura moran.

350
00:15:38,504 --> 00:15:39,571
Episode 42.

351
00:15:39,571 --> 00:15:41,340
I know for a fact she's episode 42.

352
00:15:41,340 --> 00:15:43,509
Right here. Same seats.

353
00:15:43,509 --> 00:15:45,577
Laura and Kelly, great podcast.

354
00:15:45,577 --> 00:15:47,846
Go back and check out episode 42.

355
00:15:47,846 --> 00:15:50,849
I don't know who wants to take this
question, but our motto be a good friend.

356
00:15:51,183 --> 00:15:56,221
You know, hold the door, pick up trash,
be charitable, give compliments.

357
00:15:56,455 --> 00:15:58,123
What makes Laura moran a good friend?

358
00:16:00,826 --> 00:16:01,593
She is.

359
00:16:01,593 --> 00:16:05,064
I mean, I don't know if you have one,
but I def she's definitely a good friend.

360
00:16:05,064 --> 00:16:06,865
She's such a sweet, sweet person.

361
00:16:06,865 --> 00:16:09,301
I think that kind of
with that empathy thing.

362
00:16:09,301 --> 00:16:14,940
Like she wants to succeed not for herself,
but for, you know, the greater good.

363
00:16:14,940 --> 00:16:18,978
And she wants to be a part
of making great things happen.

364
00:16:18,978 --> 00:16:21,013
And she's doing that with Johnny's
dog. Like, it's incredible.

365
00:16:21,013 --> 00:16:22,381
And I know
she's doing that in her new role,

366
00:16:22,381 --> 00:16:23,682
and she definitely did that with us.

367
00:16:23,682 --> 00:16:25,351
So, I mean,

368
00:16:25,351 --> 00:16:28,287
maybe not like opening the door,
although she would open the door, I don't

369
00:16:28,287 --> 00:16:29,521
I don't know
if I would take it back to that

370
00:16:29,521 --> 00:16:31,590
because I don't know
if I know her on that level.

371
00:16:31,590 --> 00:16:35,527
But, you know, just a great human
being that really wants to be

372
00:16:36,495 --> 00:16:37,563
a part of the

373
00:16:37,563 --> 00:16:40,733
solution for good, whatever that is
that she's pouring yourself.

374
00:16:40,733 --> 00:16:42,868
I agree.

375
00:16:42,868 --> 00:16:45,404
Well, and I would point that
she's always looking

376
00:16:45,404 --> 00:16:48,474
to make introductions and connections
for people. So,

377
00:16:50,109 --> 00:16:54,113
through her position,
Johnny's dog, as well as just her actions

378
00:16:54,113 --> 00:16:57,750
and activities in the community,
she has a lot of friends

379
00:16:57,750 --> 00:17:01,186
and individuals, so she's making
connections and introducing people.

380
00:17:01,220 --> 00:17:03,322
Yeah, to make a wider impact.

381
00:17:03,322 --> 00:17:06,825
She's always suggesting podcast guests,
and I'm so happy that she suggested

382
00:17:06,825 --> 00:17:08,260
you guys. So we're here today.

383
00:17:08,260 --> 00:17:11,463
125 we're going to talk about
the Connecticut Beer Torso.

384
00:17:11,463 --> 00:17:14,099
Thank you. Laura, you are a good friend.

385
00:17:14,099 --> 00:17:15,634
Chelsea and Greg said so too.

386
00:17:15,634 --> 00:17:18,637
So it's confirmed.

387
00:17:19,238 --> 00:17:19,805
So Hellman.

388
00:17:19,805 --> 00:17:23,042
Well, Hammond wealth
and also your author podcast.

389
00:17:23,042 --> 00:17:24,643
What what does this guy not do?

390
00:17:24,643 --> 00:17:25,544
I have not yet.

391
00:17:25,544 --> 00:17:26,512
Can you say.

392
00:17:26,512 --> 00:17:27,112
Can you sing?

393
00:17:27,112 --> 00:17:30,115
I can sing.
I did play a musical instrument.

394
00:17:30,416 --> 00:17:32,985
I did back in high school and college.

395
00:17:32,985 --> 00:17:33,952
We will find something.

396
00:17:33,952 --> 00:17:35,020
Can you dunk?

397
00:17:35,020 --> 00:17:37,923
No, I cannot, I cannot. Dunk.

398
00:17:37,923 --> 00:17:40,893
Okay. You got me there, author.

399
00:17:40,959 --> 00:17:42,694
You can do more that matters.

400
00:17:42,694 --> 00:17:45,064
If you knew you could, what? Wouldn't you?

401
00:17:45,064 --> 00:17:45,898
This is amazing.

402
00:17:45,898 --> 00:17:49,735
So this is a gift from Greg to me today
before the podcast.

403
00:17:50,269 --> 00:17:51,670
You should have gave it to me.
You should have waited,

404
00:17:51,670 --> 00:17:54,873
you know, make a big, big reveal,
and I got you something.

405
00:17:55,140 --> 00:17:56,942
But no, this is amazing.
I'm going to read this.

406
00:17:56,942 --> 00:17:58,811
And I say, hey, there's another thing,
Greg.

407
00:17:58,811 --> 00:18:00,746
I'm like, hey,
it would be really cool if you signed it.

408
00:18:01,747 --> 00:18:03,949
I already had it signed.

409
00:18:03,949 --> 00:18:06,151
Take time to think, dream
and plan to do more.

410
00:18:06,151 --> 00:18:09,154
That matters best with wishes. Greg.

411
00:18:09,388 --> 00:18:10,389
I really appreciate that.

412
00:18:10,389 --> 00:18:12,891
Discover how to live more and give more.

413
00:18:12,891 --> 00:18:15,160
What inspired you to write this?

414
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,296
So I've done,

415
00:18:17,296 --> 00:18:20,866
a lot of presentations
on behalf of nonprofit organizations.

416
00:18:20,866 --> 00:18:23,869
So not only do I work on educating,

417
00:18:24,770 --> 00:18:29,274
development professionals as well
as making organizations more effective

418
00:18:29,274 --> 00:18:33,979
in their plan giving, but also making
presentations on their behalf.

419
00:18:33,979 --> 00:18:38,617
So through that, I decided
I can only do so many presentations.

420
00:18:38,617 --> 00:18:42,888
So why not take that presentation
and put it in the form of a book

421
00:18:42,888 --> 00:18:47,259
that then can be used, and it was written
in a way that can not only be,

422
00:18:48,060 --> 00:18:51,930
read by the end user
and hopefully someone to use it

423
00:18:51,930 --> 00:18:54,933
to motivate their own making a difference.

424
00:18:55,501 --> 00:18:58,770
But also for professionals
like myself to utilize it

425
00:18:58,770 --> 00:19:02,441
to start the philanthropy conversation
as well as nonprofit organizations

426
00:19:02,441 --> 00:19:04,409
to do the same. Okay.

427
00:19:04,409 --> 00:19:07,412
Well, I have a nonprofit,
so I'm going to find it.

428
00:19:07,412 --> 00:19:10,215
And if anybody you know
they love podcasts, you'll love that.

429
00:19:10,215 --> 00:19:13,685
There's also the audio book recorded,
and you'll find that on Audible.com.

430
00:19:14,153 --> 00:19:16,355
Who's the voice? That's me.
Come on me and.

431
00:19:16,355 --> 00:19:18,657
Go out there. Yes, indeed. This guy is.

432
00:19:19,892 --> 00:19:21,059
If diculous.

433
00:19:21,059 --> 00:19:22,761
When I grow up, I want to be.
Like Greg. Right.

434
00:19:22,761 --> 00:19:24,129
And don't we all.

435
00:19:24,129 --> 00:19:24,963
This is great.

436
00:19:24,963 --> 00:19:25,931
All right, we're excited.

437
00:19:25,931 --> 00:19:28,534
Let's go. We got the the beer tour.

438
00:19:28,534 --> 00:19:30,235
Where's our first stop on the beer tour?

439
00:19:30,235 --> 00:19:31,003
Greg.

440
00:19:31,003 --> 00:19:34,406
Our first stop is rule of three
brewing down at East Hampton.

441
00:19:34,806 --> 00:19:40,946
And, they were our biggest fundraiser
last year for our 2024.

442
00:19:41,380 --> 00:19:44,283
So we're very grateful
and excited to have them back.

443
00:19:44,283 --> 00:19:46,752
Do you know the the three rules?

444
00:19:46,752 --> 00:19:47,386
The three rules.

445
00:19:47,386 --> 00:19:50,355
So I know they have a beer
for each of the three rules.

446
00:19:50,355 --> 00:19:53,625
But, I don't know the three rules off
top of my head.

447
00:19:53,625 --> 00:19:55,260
A list of rules of three beers.

448
00:19:55,260 --> 00:19:57,629
Maybe I'm messing up, but I see that it's.

449
00:19:57,629 --> 00:19:58,363
I could be wrong.

450
00:19:58,363 --> 00:20:00,632
Now, these few simple rules.

451
00:20:00,632 --> 00:20:02,201
Simplicity is king.

452
00:20:02,201 --> 00:20:03,502
Fun is a must.

453
00:20:03,502 --> 00:20:07,306
And and no hoity toity has plays
here, plays here.

454
00:20:07,940 --> 00:20:09,975
I like that like these guys. Yeah.

455
00:20:09,975 --> 00:20:11,944
Do you know Scott Cross or John?

456
00:20:11,944 --> 00:20:14,346
I know both of them might be fun.

457
00:20:14,346 --> 00:20:17,349
Guys,
we were actually just there last Thursday.

458
00:20:17,883 --> 00:20:21,119
For, my firm does a quarterly happy hour
for our clients

459
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,122
and friends,
and we are at rule three brewing.

460
00:20:24,289 --> 00:20:25,290
Rule of three.

461
00:20:25,290 --> 00:20:29,061
All right, so that's East Hampton,
Scott and John, you got three rules.

462
00:20:29,061 --> 00:20:30,996
Can you name a couple beers?

463
00:20:30,996 --> 00:20:32,531
What's your favorite beer there?

464
00:20:32,531 --> 00:20:37,135
Well, the one that I had,
was, Heckles Revenge, which was,

465
00:20:37,236 --> 00:20:41,206
marshmallow chocolate
stout that I had last week.

466
00:20:41,206 --> 00:20:42,774
And it was delicious. Wow.

467
00:20:43,909 --> 00:20:46,111
It's like
the doctor heckle and Cock and Clyde.

468
00:20:46,111 --> 00:20:49,081
Or heckles revenge. Heckles revenge? Yeah.

469
00:20:49,581 --> 00:20:50,782
What's the date of that?

470
00:20:50,782 --> 00:20:52,751
Oh, yeah. What's the date of the.

471
00:20:52,751 --> 00:20:54,186
It's going to be February 1st.

472
00:20:54,186 --> 00:20:56,989
That they'll be.
They're kicking us off. Kicking us off?

473
00:20:56,989 --> 00:21:01,293
If you're doing dry January,
here's the time to take a break

474
00:21:01,326 --> 00:21:04,696
and come back and join us for a craft beer
at rule of Three.

475
00:21:05,130 --> 00:21:05,864
Rule of three.

476
00:21:05,864 --> 00:21:08,867
All right. Kicks off in East Hampton.

477
00:21:09,034 --> 00:21:09,735
All right.

478
00:21:09,735 --> 00:21:11,570
How about now. We're going to do trivia.

479
00:21:11,570 --> 00:21:14,973
Now which which breweries name means

480
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,243
hop farm or hop yard in Italian.

481
00:21:18,277 --> 00:21:21,513
That's Lupo home there East Windsor yes.

482
00:21:21,780 --> 00:21:24,516
Good job. Alito. He passed.

483
00:21:24,516 --> 00:21:27,319
We're we might be going out of order,
but actually no that's next.

484
00:21:27,319 --> 00:21:29,421
Next. Oh nope. Nope. No latter.

485
00:21:29,421 --> 00:21:30,989
There is one before their third.

486
00:21:32,190 --> 00:21:34,126
Before we go to loop the latter,
we're going to take a stop

487
00:21:34,126 --> 00:21:37,329
at to back East
Brewing and Bloomfield. Yep.

488
00:21:37,963 --> 00:21:39,965
What's there.

489
00:21:39,965 --> 00:21:41,767
What's your favorite beer at back East.

490
00:21:41,767 --> 00:21:43,201
See if we agree.

491
00:21:43,201 --> 00:21:45,771
Well there's a lot of good beers
at back east.

492
00:21:45,771 --> 00:21:48,840
But you know Ice Cream Man is fantastic.

493
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:49,675
And I love the.

494
00:21:49,675 --> 00:21:52,644
And Jay special
where they put a little bit of the,

495
00:21:52,644 --> 00:21:56,548
BlackBerry Berliner
Rice on top as a topper on the ice cream.

496
00:21:56,548 --> 00:21:58,517
Man we I need that.

497
00:21:58,517 --> 00:21:59,551
I'm so. Yeah.

498
00:21:59,551 --> 00:22:02,054
So that's an exclusive, everyone.

499
00:22:02,054 --> 00:22:03,789
How do we do this? What do we do again?

500
00:22:03,789 --> 00:22:05,123
It's it's on their list.

501
00:22:05,123 --> 00:22:09,061
You don't even have to go in and give them
a super handshake or anything like that.

502
00:22:09,061 --> 00:22:11,630
It's, I believe it's the Jane Jay special.

503
00:22:11,630 --> 00:22:14,733
This BlackBerry Berliner Weiss 3.5.

504
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,269
Correct. And you just pour how much?

505
00:22:17,269 --> 00:22:20,072
So they basically give you
a full pint of ice cream, man.

506
00:22:20,072 --> 00:22:22,741
And then they put a little topper
of the BlackBerry on top.

507
00:22:22,741 --> 00:22:26,244
All right I got I go
yeah February 7th everyone.

508
00:22:27,045 --> 00:22:28,480
And what's it called.

509
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:29,981
The Jane Jay special.

510
00:22:29,981 --> 00:22:31,616
What's that stand for?

511
00:22:31,616 --> 00:22:34,853
I believe it's,
two of the employees at Back East.

512
00:22:35,554 --> 00:22:37,622
Well done. Back east. Yeah. Ice cream man.

513
00:22:37,622 --> 00:22:42,361
This says right here
the top five on the draft's magazine list.

514
00:22:42,361 --> 00:22:44,329
Top 50 IPAs.

515
00:22:44,329 --> 00:22:46,998
I know they sell it at, the yard Goats
games.

516
00:22:46,998 --> 00:22:50,402
So back east, keep up the good work
with the ice cream man.

517
00:22:51,336 --> 00:22:53,438
And they just added a new kitchen
last year.

518
00:22:53,438 --> 00:22:56,208
So delicious food there as well.

519
00:22:56,208 --> 00:22:59,211
And that's going to be Friday
February 7th correct.

520
00:22:59,811 --> 00:23:01,480
Yeah. We're going to clip
these up and can make reels

521
00:23:02,514 --> 00:23:03,482
back east

522
00:23:03,482 --> 00:23:06,752
back east Jay and Jay special loop gelato.

523
00:23:07,252 --> 00:23:08,854
Did I say that correctly.

524
00:23:08,854 --> 00:23:10,989
Yes Jen and James are the owners.

525
00:23:10,989 --> 00:23:13,592
They do a great job, brewing beer there.

526
00:23:13,592 --> 00:23:15,193
And our,

527
00:23:15,193 --> 00:23:18,230
very, fervent supporters of,

528
00:23:18,430 --> 00:23:21,433
blood cancer research.

529
00:23:21,433 --> 00:23:22,367
That's going to be Saturday.

530
00:23:22,367 --> 00:23:25,237
So you're back to back your Friday at

531
00:23:25,237 --> 00:23:27,906
back east Saturday at Loop Gelato.

532
00:23:27,906 --> 00:23:30,308
Weiss loves you.

533
00:23:30,308 --> 00:23:31,076
Correct?

534
00:23:31,076 --> 00:23:33,645
Yeah. We'll be there
all afternoon at Loop Gelato.

535
00:23:33,645 --> 00:23:35,680
They have a great game inventory.

536
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:40,318
So if you're a big board game fan,
they do a great job.

537
00:23:40,318 --> 00:23:43,455
You can hang out there,
have a few beers, play a board game, too.

538
00:23:44,189 --> 00:23:48,260
And they also uniquely play bocce
in their taproom.

539
00:23:48,260 --> 00:23:52,464
So if you're interested in indoor bocce,
you can get there, bocce league.

540
00:23:52,831 --> 00:23:53,932
So they're really Italian

541
00:23:55,667 --> 00:23:56,101
bocce.

542
00:23:56,101 --> 00:23:57,903
I wrote that down. Bocce.

543
00:23:57,903 --> 00:23:59,671
That's awesome. Man.

544
00:23:59,671 --> 00:24:00,872
You took away my trivia question.

545
00:24:00,872 --> 00:24:04,009
What, what brewery allows bocce?

546
00:24:04,810 --> 00:24:06,778
All right, where are we off to next?

547
00:24:06,778 --> 00:24:09,381
So after Luke Miletto,
we're going to elicit

548
00:24:09,381 --> 00:24:12,384
on a Monday night the following Monday.

549
00:24:12,751 --> 00:24:13,652
So we'll be there.

550
00:24:13,652 --> 00:24:17,689
And also a shout out to Illicit brewing,
because not only are they doing this,

551
00:24:18,390 --> 00:24:23,562
one night, fundraising for us,
but also they will be doing rounding up

552
00:24:23,562 --> 00:24:27,833
through the entire month of February
to benefit the Leukemia Lymphoma Society

553
00:24:28,133 --> 00:24:32,037
in both their Manchester
and Fairfield locations.

554
00:24:32,704 --> 00:24:33,638
Man, you got me again.

555
00:24:33,638 --> 00:24:36,908
Look at that
round up through February with a stuff.

556
00:24:36,942 --> 00:24:38,443
That is too funny.

557
00:24:38,443 --> 00:24:39,578
Monday the 10th.

558
00:24:39,578 --> 00:24:41,646
They've been really generous
for the breweries. Who?

559
00:24:41,646 --> 00:24:44,082
The owners. The breweries work there.

560
00:24:44,082 --> 00:24:45,183
You got me there.

561
00:24:45,183 --> 00:24:47,018
So I found it very interesting.

562
00:24:47,018 --> 00:24:49,588
Emily and Amanda, two females.

563
00:24:49,588 --> 00:24:51,556
Truffle that was on the website.

564
00:24:51,556 --> 00:24:52,290
I could be wrong,

565
00:24:53,458 --> 00:24:55,727
but no round up through February.

566
00:24:55,727 --> 00:24:58,296
I think that's amazing.

567
00:24:58,296 --> 00:24:59,931
Cool names. Helicopter dad.

568
00:24:59,931 --> 00:25:02,133
Carousel incident, coconut incident.

569
00:25:02,133 --> 00:25:03,902
Incident.

570
00:25:03,902 --> 00:25:06,137
Marriage counseling

571
00:25:06,137 --> 00:25:07,873
I mean friends with benefits.

572
00:25:07,873 --> 00:25:09,207
Mandatory hibernation.

573
00:25:09,207 --> 00:25:10,575
Maple mean crazy.

574
00:25:10,575 --> 00:25:12,210
I like the

575
00:25:12,210 --> 00:25:14,546
extra points for the creative
names, right?

576
00:25:14,546 --> 00:25:17,549
Creative names go away in my eyes anyway.

577
00:25:18,049 --> 00:25:18,884
But yeah, that's great.

578
00:25:18,884 --> 00:25:21,786
February 10th on a Monday.

579
00:25:21,786 --> 00:25:22,921
On a Monday. Yeah.

580
00:25:22,921 --> 00:25:27,058
The they have a jazz orchestra
that'll be there on that Monday night.

581
00:25:27,058 --> 00:25:28,994
And you come in. Are you making notes.

582
00:25:28,994 --> 00:25:31,930
Treat them to our donation. Read my notes.

583
00:25:31,930 --> 00:25:34,866
And, it'll get you drink specials
all night long.

584
00:25:34,866 --> 00:25:36,868
I was going to say,
hey, is there a conflict?

585
00:25:36,868 --> 00:25:41,273
Because I noticed the website
also had Harford Jazz Orchestra.

586
00:25:41,873 --> 00:25:44,776
But it's meant to be. Meant to be. Greg.

587
00:25:44,776 --> 00:25:46,444
That's why I chose that date to.

588
00:25:46,444 --> 00:25:47,612
Be amazing, a. Nice.

589
00:25:47,612 --> 00:25:49,314
Group of people. There's not a conflict.

590
00:25:49,314 --> 00:25:51,149
It's meant to be people. Be there.

591
00:25:51,149 --> 00:25:52,350
February 10th.

592
00:25:52,350 --> 00:25:54,753
Which one
are you going to attend? Chelsea.

593
00:25:54,753 --> 00:25:57,889
So I was just put them all on my calendar
last night, actually,

594
00:25:57,889 --> 00:25:58,623
in case you're wondering.

595
00:25:58,623 --> 00:25:59,524
So my entire calendar

596
00:25:59,524 --> 00:26:02,527
has blocked everywhere,
which means I might make it to a couple.

597
00:26:02,527 --> 00:26:04,229
Got two small children.

598
00:26:04,229 --> 00:26:08,633
But whenever I'm ready to escape them, I'm
hoping to do well.

599
00:26:08,633 --> 00:26:11,236
I'll be at New Park
Brewing on the 27th. Okay.

600
00:26:11,236 --> 00:26:16,174
But also, I think I'm going to try to do
problem solved on the 22nd.

601
00:26:17,142 --> 00:26:20,145
So. But hopefully I could do more,

602
00:26:20,312 --> 00:26:21,880
but I'm committing.

603
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,982
I made it here last year.
Do we have an issue?

604
00:26:23,982 --> 00:26:25,717
Yeah, yeah.

605
00:26:25,717 --> 00:26:27,619
We're going on the border
just to trick you up here.

606
00:26:27,619 --> 00:26:28,954
So, Yeah.

607
00:26:28,954 --> 00:26:30,188
Don't let him see her.

608
00:26:30,188 --> 00:26:32,357
He has a setback. League.

609
00:26:32,357 --> 00:26:34,159
They're having bonsai bar.

610
00:26:34,159 --> 00:26:37,162
They do brews and book swap.

611
00:26:37,495 --> 00:26:39,097
They are the first brewery

612
00:26:39,097 --> 00:26:42,100
ever in Enfield, Connecticut.

613
00:26:42,334 --> 00:26:44,970
They started in 2014.

614
00:26:44,970 --> 00:26:46,538
They are

615
00:26:46,538 --> 00:26:48,173
what Enfield would be.

616
00:26:48,173 --> 00:26:49,507
Powder hollow.

617
00:26:49,507 --> 00:26:52,077
Correct. This guy's good.

618
00:26:52,077 --> 00:26:52,310
Yeah.

619
00:26:52,310 --> 00:26:56,314
We don't have an official date
for them yet, but they have, committed.

620
00:26:56,314 --> 00:26:58,083
And, so it's to be decided.

621
00:26:58,083 --> 00:27:02,454
So you gotta tune in and go to the website
at KT Beer Tours, talk to,

622
00:27:03,021 --> 00:27:03,888
stay in touch.

623
00:27:03,888 --> 00:27:06,191
I also have a phone number

624
00:27:06,191 --> 00:27:07,392
and you have an email.

625
00:27:07,392 --> 00:27:08,994
Can we share that?

626
00:27:08,994 --> 00:27:10,261
Oh yeah. So the website.

627
00:27:10,261 --> 00:27:13,765
City Beer tours at gmail.com.

628
00:27:14,099 --> 00:27:18,370
And if you go to the website there is a
way to sign up for our email list.

629
00:27:18,370 --> 00:27:22,741
And so you'll get updates for me
on, on the upcoming dates and any changes

630
00:27:22,907 --> 00:27:24,109
as we add new breweries.

631
00:27:25,410 --> 00:27:26,811
It's it's great. Now.

632
00:27:26,811 --> 00:27:28,647
So you'll be at everyone.

633
00:27:28,647 --> 00:27:29,347
Not everyone.

634
00:27:29,347 --> 00:27:32,050
Okay,
I will be out of town for one weekend.

635
00:27:32,050 --> 00:27:35,053
So, and Chelsea's,

636
00:27:35,420 --> 00:27:37,956
colleague Josh is going to fill in for me.

637
00:27:37,956 --> 00:27:42,160
Now, do you call everyone's attention
to give a little 32nd

638
00:27:43,495 --> 00:27:46,398
talk, or do you

639
00:27:46,398 --> 00:27:48,366
at these at the event, do you say, hey,

640
00:27:48,366 --> 00:27:51,369
thank you for so much for coming
KT Beer Tours.

641
00:27:52,137 --> 00:27:55,674
You're all your donations
are going to last, right?

642
00:27:55,674 --> 00:27:56,675
You do all that.

643
00:27:56,675 --> 00:27:57,008
Correct.

644
00:27:57,008 --> 00:27:59,878
We'll have a table set up
so people can come in.

645
00:27:59,878 --> 00:28:02,881
We'll make it as easy as possible
to learn more about,

646
00:28:03,682 --> 00:28:06,284
the mission of AOS
and the impact that they have

647
00:28:06,284 --> 00:28:09,721
in the community and supporting families
as well as research.

648
00:28:10,221 --> 00:28:14,192
And then also, we're there
to collect, donations directly.

649
00:28:14,192 --> 00:28:20,165
And that can be cash, Venmo, credit card,
as well as, most of the breweries

650
00:28:20,165 --> 00:28:24,402
are donating either a dollar per beer
or 10% of the sales that night.

651
00:28:24,402 --> 00:28:27,038
So just by showing up
and having a beverage,

652
00:28:27,038 --> 00:28:30,041
you get us one step closer
to a cancer free future.

653
00:28:30,175 --> 00:28:30,575
I love it,

654
00:28:31,943 --> 00:28:34,145
I'll be there.

655
00:28:34,145 --> 00:28:34,646
All right.

656
00:28:34,646 --> 00:28:37,215
Next one.

657
00:28:37,215 --> 00:28:40,218
It's tricky here.

658
00:28:42,687 --> 00:28:44,355
All right.

659
00:28:44,355 --> 00:28:47,358
This one hosted
my dad's 70th birthday party.

660
00:28:47,792 --> 00:28:50,161
You know. I don't know that one.

661
00:28:50,161 --> 00:28:52,964
I wasn't invited.

662
00:28:52,964 --> 00:28:55,133
It's happening on Valentine's Day.

663
00:28:55,133 --> 00:28:57,836
We also have this Friday the big sing.

664
00:28:57,836 --> 00:29:01,339
Do you know Walter? Walter, shoot.

665
00:29:01,339 --> 00:29:02,207
What's his name?

666
00:29:02,207 --> 00:29:05,210
That's my best guy in the world. Walter.

667
00:29:05,577 --> 00:29:07,512
Walter is going to kill me.

668
00:29:07,512 --> 00:29:08,513
It's not Walter McCarty.

669
00:29:08,513 --> 00:29:09,581
He played for the Celtics.

670
00:29:09,581 --> 00:29:10,348
Walter.

671
00:29:10,348 --> 00:29:13,351
Sorry, I gotta look. No.

672
00:29:14,319 --> 00:29:15,019
Oh, boy.

673
00:29:15,019 --> 00:29:16,421
Embarrassing.

674
00:29:16,421 --> 00:29:18,289
Anyway, live music will be here.

675
00:29:18,289 --> 00:29:21,292
Big sing through Mark's Christmas trees,

676
00:29:22,260 --> 00:29:23,762
and we're asking a donation.

677
00:29:23,762 --> 00:29:26,397
The Big Sing is where everyone gets,
sheet of lyrics.

678
00:29:26,397 --> 00:29:28,833
And Walter will be singing and will shout.

679
00:29:28,833 --> 00:29:29,801
What song do you want to play?

680
00:29:29,801 --> 00:29:32,137
We'll sing number one. It's New York,
New York.

681
00:29:32,137 --> 00:29:33,037
Everyone has the list.

682
00:29:33,037 --> 00:29:36,541
We sing along and we collect donations
and it's a great event.

683
00:29:36,541 --> 00:29:38,743
It started in Halifax, Canada.

684
00:29:38,743 --> 00:29:39,944
Marks Christmas trees.

685
00:29:39,944 --> 00:29:41,446
I don't know
if you get your Christmas trees over here.

686
00:29:41,446 --> 00:29:43,214
Yes, that's Mark.

687
00:29:43,214 --> 00:29:44,849
The Christmas trees are from Halifax.

688
00:29:44,849 --> 00:29:46,017
Mark's from Halifax.

689
00:29:47,552 --> 00:29:49,187
And that we sing.

690
00:29:49,187 --> 00:29:50,421
It's called the Big Sing.

691
00:29:50,421 --> 00:29:53,358
And this is our fourth or fifth event
this Friday.

692
00:29:53,358 --> 00:29:56,461
This won't come out in time,
but we'll be singing with Walter.

693
00:29:57,428 --> 00:30:00,298
Walter at so terrible.

694
00:30:00,298 --> 00:30:02,233
This is I don't I'm having a moment.

695
00:30:02,233 --> 00:30:03,034
It's a carousel.

696
00:30:03,034 --> 00:30:04,169
And it all come around.

697
00:30:04,169 --> 00:30:06,871
You don't come. Around, Walter.

698
00:30:06,871 --> 00:30:09,541
Walter Jacobson.

699
00:30:09,541 --> 00:30:11,342
But Cody's great grace.

700
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:14,312
I know Grace, she's the events manager.

701
00:30:14,379 --> 00:30:16,281
And then.

702
00:30:16,281 --> 00:30:20,652
But, yeah, we're here now, so come back
if you can't come this Friday.

703
00:30:21,519 --> 00:30:23,221
Come on Valentine's day.

704
00:30:23,221 --> 00:30:24,923
Valentine's day. Show the love.

705
00:30:24,923 --> 00:30:26,391
Yep. Will you be here for.

706
00:30:26,391 --> 00:30:28,293
I will be here.
I will be. Here for this. One.

707
00:30:28,293 --> 00:30:30,795
I probably go
I mean, are you bring the kids.

708
00:30:30,795 --> 00:30:32,096
Where do you guys live?

709
00:30:32,096 --> 00:30:34,432
West Hartford, right. Here in West
Hartford. Okay. All right.

710
00:30:34,432 --> 00:30:35,166
The special guest.

711
00:30:35,166 --> 00:30:39,304
My sister's flying in from Ohio
that weekend, so she'll be here, too.

712
00:30:39,304 --> 00:30:41,072
So you get to meet her.

713
00:30:41,072 --> 00:30:42,340
Your family's from Ohio?

714
00:30:42,340 --> 00:30:44,676
My sister's. In Ohio. I don't,

715
00:30:46,644 --> 00:30:48,246
all right,

716
00:30:48,246 --> 00:30:49,581
this one.

717
00:30:49,581 --> 00:30:52,083
I like this spot, too.

718
00:30:52,083 --> 00:30:53,918
Friends. I've done a couple events there.

719
00:30:53,918 --> 00:30:58,423
We've done, a fundraiser for a kid
who was born with that,

720
00:31:00,758 --> 00:31:02,393
to get a tumor in his brain.

721
00:31:02,393 --> 00:31:03,361
And they helped him.

722
00:31:03,361 --> 00:31:05,997
We they got it removed,
so we helped the family.

723
00:31:05,997 --> 00:31:08,466
Levi. We had a Levi fundraiser there.

724
00:31:08,466 --> 00:31:09,801
We did a comedy show there.

725
00:31:09,801 --> 00:31:12,804
They do live music in the green room
and the barrel room.

726
00:31:12,971 --> 00:31:15,974
Yes. The owners are John, Alex and Tom.

727
00:31:17,208 --> 00:31:18,610
Where are we?

728
00:31:18,610 --> 00:31:21,613
You're at New Park Brewing,
and you partnered,

729
00:31:21,946 --> 00:31:22,380
again.

730
00:31:22,380 --> 00:31:25,383
Laura moran was kind of the connection
there that,

731
00:31:26,017 --> 00:31:28,987
that got us, to have the event at New Park
Brewing.

732
00:31:28,987 --> 00:31:31,756
Nice. Great people. Great place.

733
00:31:31,756 --> 00:31:32,624
Where are you?

734
00:31:32,624 --> 00:31:34,592
In the barrel room or the green room?

735
00:31:34,592 --> 00:31:36,995
So it's going to be a both.

736
00:31:36,995 --> 00:31:38,229
Oh, nice. Well, it's,

737
00:31:39,364 --> 00:31:39,831
in the

738
00:31:39,831 --> 00:31:43,134
private room that night
actually marks a special occasion.

739
00:31:43,134 --> 00:31:47,772
So the 2025 visionaries of the year
campaign kicks off.

740
00:31:47,772 --> 00:31:48,806
That night.

741
00:31:48,806 --> 00:31:53,811
So, we'll be there as part of the campaign
to kick off the new candidates

742
00:31:53,811 --> 00:31:57,582
that will be raising money this year
for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society,

743
00:31:57,849 --> 00:31:59,350
as well as a beer stop.

744
00:31:59,350 --> 00:32:01,452
So it'll also be part of the beer tour.

745
00:32:01,452 --> 00:32:05,223
So a portion of the proceeds
by being in the tap room also benefit.

746
00:32:05,223 --> 00:32:06,591
That was so nice.

747
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:07,825
It's going to be one big party.

748
00:32:07,825 --> 00:32:09,627
So great to be there.

749
00:32:09,627 --> 00:32:10,261
Great spot.

750
00:32:10,261 --> 00:32:13,264
And they have an Elmwood Cider
named after Elmwood section.

751
00:32:13,264 --> 00:32:14,666
I live in Elmwood.

752
00:32:14,666 --> 00:32:17,068
Cloud scape is my favorite there.

753
00:32:17,068 --> 00:32:17,936
Do you have a favorite?

754
00:32:17,936 --> 00:32:20,371
I would agree cloud Scape is really good.

755
00:32:20,371 --> 00:32:24,242
Yeah, cloud scapes
grew and Cloud Scape is 6.5.

756
00:32:24,242 --> 00:32:25,944
It's an IPA

757
00:32:26,911 --> 00:32:27,679
fluffy wheat

758
00:32:27,679 --> 00:32:30,682
finish notes of grapefruit and melon.

759
00:32:30,715 --> 00:32:31,683
Reading from the list here.

760
00:32:31,683 --> 00:32:34,652
It's great,
but the new Park brewery great spot,

761
00:32:35,653 --> 00:32:38,456
great people.

762
00:32:38,456 --> 00:32:39,157
All right. How many we got?

763
00:32:39,157 --> 00:32:39,991
Four left.

764
00:32:39,991 --> 00:32:40,458
Let's see.

765
00:32:40,458 --> 00:32:43,461
Do you know?

766
00:32:43,828 --> 00:32:46,030
Oh, right here.

767
00:32:46,030 --> 00:32:48,833
This place has a First mates club.

768
00:32:48,833 --> 00:32:50,802
100 members get a designated mug.

769
00:32:50,802 --> 00:32:53,805
Discounts, larger paws. Swag.

770
00:32:53,938 --> 00:32:55,606
They have stormed the beach shore.

771
00:32:55,606 --> 00:32:57,642
Shore. Unsure.

772
00:32:57,642 --> 00:32:59,243
Man. Moza boat.

773
00:32:59,243 --> 00:32:59,711
Loeb.

774
00:32:59,711 --> 00:33:02,914
It's a very, nautical themed brewery.

775
00:33:02,981 --> 00:33:06,150
Coastline brewing down in West Westbrook.

776
00:33:06,317 --> 00:33:07,318
Westbrook.

777
00:33:07,318 --> 00:33:09,821
Very good. Great place.
They have a pizza oven.

778
00:33:09,821 --> 00:33:11,622
They're a great pizza.

779
00:33:11,622 --> 00:33:13,825
Great group of guys that own it.

780
00:33:13,825 --> 00:33:16,427
And although they're not hosting an event

781
00:33:16,427 --> 00:33:19,831
during February, they made the call.

782
00:33:19,831 --> 00:33:22,834
They said, hey, February is a little dead
here on the shoreline.

783
00:33:23,301 --> 00:33:26,704
Why don't we wait until the summertime
when it's really rocking?

784
00:33:26,704 --> 00:33:28,172
So we're going back.

785
00:33:28,172 --> 00:33:30,141
We're extending the tour.

786
00:33:30,141 --> 00:33:32,910
And we'll be going back to coastline
sometime this summer.

787
00:33:32,910 --> 00:33:35,113
Very nice. And that's rich, Phil and Jay.

788
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:36,981
I've never been.

789
00:33:36,981 --> 00:33:39,984
I'm interested to go West Brook.
Very cool.

790
00:33:40,651 --> 00:33:42,420
Then we have one in Bristol.

791
00:33:42,420 --> 00:33:44,155
What's the brewery in Bristol?

792
00:33:44,155 --> 00:33:47,025
That's the new Cambridge project.

793
00:33:47,025 --> 00:33:50,428
Unique brewery, because it's actually
three breweries and one,

794
00:33:51,562 --> 00:33:54,098
so the Cambridge project is in the taproom

795
00:33:54,098 --> 00:33:57,602
that used to be Firefly
Hollow, in Bristol.

796
00:33:58,136 --> 00:34:02,907
And they acquired the recipes
so they still brew Firefly Hollow beers.

797
00:34:03,574 --> 00:34:07,145
And they also, brew, beers by boondoggle,

798
00:34:07,145 --> 00:34:10,415
which is another, brewery
in as well as their own.

799
00:34:11,416 --> 00:34:15,553
I have yet
to be there as new Cambridge project.

800
00:34:15,553 --> 00:34:19,457
So I'm excited
to, to get there, and try them all out.

801
00:34:20,691 --> 00:34:20,825
Yeah.

802
00:34:20,825 --> 00:34:23,694
It says right here it's town
139 Center Street.

803
00:34:23,694 --> 00:34:27,398
It was the
I was the iconic Firefly Bristol.

804
00:34:28,066 --> 00:34:29,400
That's February.

805
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,003
Oh, yeah. February 21st.

806
00:34:32,003 --> 00:34:33,905
Correct. Friday. It's a Friday.

807
00:34:33,905 --> 00:34:35,440
And you need to put on your calendar.

808
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,209
They have one of the best pumpkin beers,

809
00:34:39,744 --> 00:34:40,678
that I have there.

810
00:34:40,678 --> 00:34:44,782
They're pumpkin spice creamer from Firefly
Hollow is one of my favorites.

811
00:34:44,782 --> 00:34:47,685
Do they put, cinnamon
on the rim of the glass if.

812
00:34:47,685 --> 00:34:49,987
You go to the taproom? Yes. They do.

813
00:34:49,987 --> 00:34:51,389
That's my wife's favorite.

814
00:34:51,389 --> 00:34:51,989
All right.

815
00:34:51,989 --> 00:34:54,792
We have to wait. For that one.

816
00:34:54,792 --> 00:34:56,861
So this one has infinite rotations.

817
00:34:56,861 --> 00:34:59,864
Berries brittle, roasted or

818
00:35:00,765 --> 00:35:04,368
roasted root ground for six sides.

819
00:35:04,836 --> 00:35:06,604
It's happening on February 22nd.

820
00:35:06,604 --> 00:35:09,407
It's a Saturday. It's in East Windsor.

821
00:35:09,407 --> 00:35:11,442
That would be problem solved.

822
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:13,177
Brewing.

823
00:35:13,177 --> 00:35:14,412
You got it. You're good.
You're pretty good.

824
00:35:14,412 --> 00:35:16,314
And yeah, that's a connection.

825
00:35:16,314 --> 00:35:21,018
Through Laura Ray Anderson,
who's our on our leadership team

826
00:35:21,018 --> 00:35:26,090
and in helping to one of the co-leaders
of the visionary of the year campaign.

827
00:35:26,090 --> 00:35:30,461
And she's leading up
that and has, knows the owners quite well.

828
00:35:31,229 --> 00:35:32,763
So we're looking forward to being there.

829
00:35:32,763 --> 00:35:35,733
Very nice. Which ones have you

830
00:35:35,733 --> 00:35:38,703
were on the list last year
and which ones are new this year?

831
00:35:40,271 --> 00:35:41,005
So rule of

832
00:35:41,005 --> 00:35:44,275
three back East loop gelato illicit.

833
00:35:44,275 --> 00:35:46,811
We have brewing

834
00:35:46,811 --> 00:35:49,347
concentric

835
00:35:49,347 --> 00:35:52,683
and coast
line are all returnees from last year.

836
00:35:53,317 --> 00:35:56,320
And then we're getting to visit
a new Cambridge project.

837
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,121
Problem solved.

838
00:35:57,121 --> 00:35:59,390
Brewing and Powder hollow.

839
00:35:59,390 --> 00:36:01,492
New this year as well as New park.

840
00:36:01,492 --> 00:36:03,161
Very cool.

841
00:36:03,161 --> 00:36:06,464
So a combination of new
and an old favorites.

842
00:36:07,431 --> 00:36:11,802
This one looks like they have dark Darth
Maul Wookie cookie.

843
00:36:11,802 --> 00:36:16,641
That's Star Wars
monster mash double stuff fins up.

844
00:36:17,041 --> 00:36:20,011
But the Dolphins fans maybe

845
00:36:20,244 --> 00:36:21,445
concentric.

846
00:36:21,445 --> 00:36:24,015
Concentric brewing in Portland.

847
00:36:24,015 --> 00:36:27,685
Just after you go over the Aragonese
Bridge from Middletown,

848
00:36:27,685 --> 00:36:30,688
you just swing around to the right
and it's down on your right.

849
00:36:31,122 --> 00:36:31,322
Yeah.

850
00:36:31,322 --> 00:36:36,627
One of the reasons why their line up
right now looks a little dark, in beer,

851
00:36:36,994 --> 00:36:40,565
is that they do a fantastic event

852
00:36:40,998 --> 00:36:43,968
in December on the winter solstice.

853
00:36:43,968 --> 00:36:47,004
So on the darkest night,
they do all dark beers.

854
00:36:47,872 --> 00:36:50,541
So they bring in not only their own, but,

855
00:36:50,541 --> 00:36:54,178
some guest brews from breweries
around Connecticut.

856
00:36:54,912 --> 00:36:55,980
So it's a great event.

857
00:36:55,980 --> 00:36:58,783
They do another one on
light beers in June as well.

858
00:36:58,783 --> 00:36:59,517
That's funny.

859
00:36:59,517 --> 00:37:02,420
Very nice. It's Brian Drew and Dave.

860
00:37:02,420 --> 00:37:05,089
Oh man I forgot
one of these guys was a retired cop.

861
00:37:05,089 --> 00:37:07,024
I forgot which one that was. Had a. Nope.

862
00:37:08,793 --> 00:37:09,560
Not very cool.

863
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,563
So all right last year's tour.

864
00:37:14,332 --> 00:37:16,801
What was the first

865
00:37:16,801 --> 00:37:17,335
brewery.

866
00:37:17,335 --> 00:37:18,302
The last brewery.

867
00:37:18,302 --> 00:37:21,305
The best brewery and the worst brewery.

868
00:37:21,539 --> 00:37:22,673
Oh tough.

869
00:37:22,673 --> 00:37:23,641
I mean least favorite.

870
00:37:23,641 --> 00:37:26,611
Something went wrong or missing
I don't know, we will modify it.

871
00:37:26,611 --> 00:37:27,645
Of course.

872
00:37:27,645 --> 00:37:30,648
Trying to think of who kicked it off
last year.

873
00:37:30,748 --> 00:37:33,284
I know the end one was Urban Launch,

874
00:37:33,284 --> 00:37:36,287
in Manchester and,

875
00:37:37,855 --> 00:37:40,191
it's hard to say best.

876
00:37:40,191 --> 00:37:42,760
Oh, there's so,

877
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:43,561
I think so.

878
00:37:43,561 --> 00:37:44,629
Like a. Solicit. Yes.

879
00:37:44,629 --> 00:37:46,030
Solicit. Went for something.

880
00:37:46,030 --> 00:37:48,733
Can we have the kickoff party at elicit?

881
00:37:48,733 --> 00:37:53,304
And then we came back the next night
for the first kickoff, actual memory.

882
00:37:53,304 --> 00:37:56,641
So, yes, we were at elicit for the kickoff
and urban largest

883
00:37:56,641 --> 00:37:59,644
a wrap up.

884
00:38:00,177 --> 00:38:00,978
Best breweries.

885
00:38:00,978 --> 00:38:04,048
Well, I certainly shout
out to rule of three for,

886
00:38:05,283 --> 00:38:08,019
being a top fundraiser.

887
00:38:08,019 --> 00:38:10,621
Back east and Willimantic were both right

888
00:38:10,621 --> 00:38:13,624
there at the top as well for fundraising.

889
00:38:13,791 --> 00:38:17,495
I'm also a big fan of Elf Cream
and their beer.

890
00:38:18,129 --> 00:38:20,064
So we had

891
00:38:20,064 --> 00:38:23,934
by including 23 breweries,
we pretty much covered most of the state.

892
00:38:23,934 --> 00:38:24,702
Yeah.

893
00:38:24,702 --> 00:38:27,705
And, so I put some mileage on my car.

894
00:38:28,406 --> 00:38:31,409
That was the reason I was 11 this year
and 23 last year.

895
00:38:31,742 --> 00:38:35,680
Well, last year I was part
of the visionary of the year campaign.

896
00:38:35,980 --> 00:38:40,217
So this year I've just been asked
to be part of the leadership team.

897
00:38:40,651 --> 00:38:44,322
And so one of the things that happens
throughout the campaign,

898
00:38:44,955 --> 00:38:46,223
that makes a lot of fun

899
00:38:46,223 --> 00:38:49,460
as part of the fundraising, are
there are different challenges,

900
00:38:50,161 --> 00:38:54,031
for example, raise
a donation from all 50 states.

901
00:38:54,865 --> 00:38:58,002
So you got a challenge,
and there are kind of award dollars

902
00:38:58,002 --> 00:39:01,872
that you could win for your campaign
if you're the first team to get there.

903
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,676
But it's on the shoulders
of the leadership team

904
00:39:05,676 --> 00:39:08,679
to help raise some money
to fund those challenges.

905
00:39:08,946 --> 00:39:11,615
And so as we were talking about that,

906
00:39:11,615 --> 00:39:15,853
and I could explain to my wife that I
didn't have to be at all of the breweries,

907
00:39:17,121 --> 00:39:19,590
we started
up to decide to have another one.

908
00:39:19,590 --> 00:39:20,825
So we're going to have it

909
00:39:20,825 --> 00:39:24,462
during the month of February
to kind of get everybody energized,

910
00:39:24,995 --> 00:39:28,499
leading up to the candidates starting off
their campaign at the end of February.

911
00:39:29,233 --> 00:39:30,534
Very cool.

912
00:39:30,534 --> 00:39:32,403
Man. This is great.

913
00:39:32,403 --> 00:39:34,939
Again,
excited to hear drinking with a course.

914
00:39:34,939 --> 00:39:35,339
Right.

915
00:39:35,339 --> 00:39:38,342
What's better than that? Correct.

916
00:39:38,342 --> 00:39:42,279
And I want to do a shout out
just to thank, Rachel Diamond,

917
00:39:42,279 --> 00:39:48,052
who is, at Broken Symmetry out in Bethel,
but she is the director

918
00:39:48,052 --> 00:39:52,723
of the Connecticut Brewers Guild,
and she was extremely supportive,

919
00:39:53,357 --> 00:39:56,494
in getting my beer to her
launch last year, as well as,

920
00:39:56,761 --> 00:40:00,931
I had a table at the Connecticut
Beer Fest, which is every April,

921
00:40:01,265 --> 00:40:04,268
at the convention center. So, Nice.

922
00:40:04,502 --> 00:40:07,505
One of the reasons
why I know a lot about these breweries is,

923
00:40:07,905 --> 00:40:10,908
I'm also an associate member
of the Connecticut Brewers Guild.

924
00:40:10,908 --> 00:40:13,511
So I get to go to their meetings

925
00:40:13,511 --> 00:40:16,380
every quarter
and get to have an opportunity to

926
00:40:16,380 --> 00:40:19,350
to meet the Brewers and learn a little bit
more about each brewery.

927
00:40:19,750 --> 00:40:20,317
Very cool.

928
00:40:21,585 --> 00:40:22,052
You're in it.

929
00:40:22,052 --> 00:40:23,687
That's great.

930
00:40:23,687 --> 00:40:25,923
Now, this is gonna be a question
for both of you.

931
00:40:25,923 --> 00:40:28,826
We'll let you go. Chelsea
first favorite restaurant.

932
00:40:28,826 --> 00:40:31,095
In West Hartford.
Or anywhere in the world.

933
00:40:31,095 --> 00:40:31,862
Favorite restaurant.

934
00:40:31,862 --> 00:40:34,865
And then there's a follow up question.

935
00:40:37,368 --> 00:40:39,236
I don't like that's like the hardest.

936
00:40:39,236 --> 00:40:43,407
I take food extremely seriously,
a place where, like, I cannot do that.

937
00:40:43,441 --> 00:40:45,109
Like, I will be honest with you

938
00:40:45,109 --> 00:40:48,112
very hard and I'm like,
oh, come on, you're ridiculous.

939
00:40:48,879 --> 00:40:49,380
Oh, man.

940
00:40:49,380 --> 00:40:52,950
Okay, so I really enjoyed there's
this very I think I told you about this,

941
00:40:53,217 --> 00:40:58,556
I repeat myself often anyways, but there's
this little restaurant in Cornwall.

942
00:40:58,556 --> 00:41:01,559
Is that where the Little Bridges
in Litchfield?

943
00:41:01,592 --> 00:41:03,494
Is that sound? Right. Okay.

944
00:41:03,494 --> 00:41:07,231
Called RSVP
and you have to call and leave a message

945
00:41:07,231 --> 00:41:08,299
and hope that they call you back,

946
00:41:08,299 --> 00:41:10,601
which they'll call you
back, and Charles will call you.

947
00:41:10,601 --> 00:41:12,937
And, if he does, then he can.

948
00:41:12,937 --> 00:41:15,773
I can tells you
sort of the date that you could coming.

949
00:41:15,773 --> 00:41:17,341
You tell him
sort of the date you could come

950
00:41:17,341 --> 00:41:18,943
and you hopefully agree on something.

951
00:41:18,943 --> 00:41:21,145
And it's like a very tiny dinner party.

952
00:41:21,145 --> 00:41:23,881
And I went with my husband
and it was so great.

953
00:41:23,881 --> 00:41:25,382
French food.

954
00:41:25,382 --> 00:41:28,552
It's to two men that run it and that's it.

955
00:41:28,752 --> 00:41:29,854
That's that's the whole thing.

956
00:41:29,854 --> 00:41:32,423
But it's this amazing French dinner.
You bring your own wine.

957
00:41:32,423 --> 00:41:34,892
It was so fun, so. RSVP, I yeah, do that.

958
00:41:34,892 --> 00:41:36,227
I try all these. Yeah.

959
00:41:36,227 --> 00:41:37,495
You heard this one. It's a good one.

960
00:41:37,495 --> 00:41:40,130
You definitely cannot, like,
plan the date.

961
00:41:40,130 --> 00:41:41,999
They really, you know, the date plans you.

962
00:41:41,999 --> 00:41:44,468
But it's good.
It's a really it's an experience.

963
00:41:45,436 --> 00:41:47,371
What's the
average play and how much does it cost.

964
00:41:47,371 --> 00:41:50,274
Oh so that's the thing.
It's a one price thing.

965
00:41:50,274 --> 00:41:52,576
They tell you the price
and you have to pay in cash.

966
00:41:52,576 --> 00:41:55,112
And you just leave it on the way out
like I didn't know what to do,

967
00:41:55,112 --> 00:41:58,449
but there's just like a table and
you just set it there and you walk away

968
00:41:59,717 --> 00:42:00,951
and I forget what the price is.

969
00:42:00,951 --> 00:42:02,920
Now it's big.

970
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:03,854
You have to call Charles.

971
00:42:03,854 --> 00:42:06,790
I don't know, it's telling you
it's not advertised. There's no website.

972
00:42:06,790 --> 00:42:08,659
You can't. You have the number.

973
00:42:08,659 --> 00:42:13,130
So if you just Google RCP, Connecticut
restaurant or Cornwall or something later,

974
00:42:13,130 --> 00:42:15,399
he'll probably be mad at me
for putting this on a podcast.

975
00:42:15,399 --> 00:42:17,701
Like, I mean, sorry,

976
00:42:17,701 --> 00:42:21,272
the New York Times is going to be so upset
that I got your first.

977
00:42:21,272 --> 00:42:23,541
And he made sure. To make my reservation
before the.

978
00:42:23,541 --> 00:42:25,209
Yeah, they call that.

979
00:42:25,209 --> 00:42:27,211
Oh that's great.

980
00:42:27,211 --> 00:42:27,878
Yeah.

981
00:42:27,878 --> 00:42:31,015
Yeah, I've tried so many different
restaurants based on this question.

982
00:42:31,015 --> 00:42:31,582
So all right.

983
00:42:31,582 --> 00:42:32,216
Thank you.

984
00:42:32,216 --> 00:42:33,217
Yeah. All right.

985
00:42:33,217 --> 00:42:35,286
And now you're eating at RSVP.

986
00:42:35,286 --> 00:42:35,653
Yeah.

987
00:42:35,653 --> 00:42:38,789
For dinner guests dead or alive and with.

988
00:42:39,189 --> 00:42:41,792
Oh, okay. Dolly Parton definitely

989
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:44,361
all time favorite human.

990
00:42:44,361 --> 00:42:44,562
Just.

991
00:42:44,562 --> 00:42:47,565
This is so cool.

992
00:42:48,666 --> 00:42:49,366
Jesus.

993
00:42:49,366 --> 00:42:51,569
Like, I don't mean that in, like, like,
not cool way.

994
00:42:51,569 --> 00:42:52,236
Like. Or a cool way.

995
00:42:52,236 --> 00:42:55,239
I just think it'd be really interesting.

996
00:42:55,973 --> 00:42:56,907
Popular response.

997
00:42:56,907 --> 00:42:59,910
Yeah, I would assume. Okay. For, for for.

998
00:43:00,377 --> 00:43:01,211
Let's see.

999
00:43:01,211 --> 00:43:04,415
I mean, I probably bring my husband
because he's pretty great.

1000
00:43:04,648 --> 00:43:07,651
Good. So. All right. How about others?

1001
00:43:07,851 --> 00:43:09,019
Okay. So that was three.

1002
00:43:09,019 --> 00:43:14,325
And then the fourth,
I mean oh goodness gracious me.

1003
00:43:14,325 --> 00:43:15,626
It's got to be like a world leader.

1004
00:43:15,626 --> 00:43:17,962
But that's like a lot to unpack.

1005
00:43:17,962 --> 00:43:20,097
I mean, I'll go with Jimmy Carter
because he just passed.

1006
00:43:20,097 --> 00:43:20,731
He's from Georgia.

1007
00:43:20,731 --> 00:43:25,302
I did meet him at Church in Plains
because I'm from Georgia originally.

1008
00:43:25,669 --> 00:43:26,704
I coughed on him.

1009
00:43:26,704 --> 00:43:28,739
I felt really bad. He came to check on me.

1010
00:43:28,739 --> 00:43:31,175
I was like a kid, and I was like, oh, no.

1011
00:43:31,175 --> 00:43:32,710
He was already old then.

1012
00:43:32,710 --> 00:43:34,011
I was very concerned for his health.

1013
00:43:34,011 --> 00:43:35,679
He survived, obviously.

1014
00:43:35,679 --> 00:43:37,548
But that's my, like, presidential story.

1015
00:43:37,548 --> 00:43:40,184
But I would bring him because I didn't
really get to chat with him.

1016
00:43:40,184 --> 00:43:42,286
Do you apologize for coughing
on. I did okay.

1017
00:43:42,286 --> 00:43:44,822
I would apologize for it
if I could talk to you.

1018
00:43:44,822 --> 00:43:46,724
Yeah. No,
I don't know. He's going to be like that.

1019
00:43:47,725 --> 00:43:49,760
Gone with me forever.

1020
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:51,528
Cough. Donald. Ma'am.

1021
00:43:51,528 --> 00:43:54,098
Terrible was terrible. Coughing fit.

1022
00:43:54,098 --> 00:43:54,632
For dinner.

1023
00:43:54,632 --> 00:43:59,937
Guest RSVP with Jesus, Dolly Parton,
Jimmy Carter and the hubby.

1024
00:44:00,404 --> 00:44:02,373
Yeah, Greg, that would be an interesting.

1025
00:44:02,373 --> 00:44:04,375
Yeah, sure. Would.

1026
00:44:04,375 --> 00:44:07,378
Do you have a favorite restaurant, Greg?

1027
00:44:08,312 --> 00:44:11,715
Well, one of my favorites
is Jake Gilbertson in Glastonbury.

1028
00:44:12,216 --> 00:44:15,653
Just, quality food and service,
always top notch.

1029
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,255
So go back there frequently.

1030
00:44:18,255 --> 00:44:19,023
Agreed.

1031
00:44:19,023 --> 00:44:21,992
We go there for special occasions.

1032
00:44:21,992 --> 00:44:23,260
Now you're for dinner.

1033
00:44:23,260 --> 00:44:25,062
Guests arrive for dinner.

1034
00:44:25,062 --> 00:44:28,065
Guests.

1035
00:44:33,937 --> 00:44:36,874
I'd probably have my dad back.

1036
00:44:36,874 --> 00:44:39,543
I'd love that for dinner.

1037
00:44:39,543 --> 00:44:42,680
And I guess you have to have my mom
who's still with us.

1038
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,650
So, but then, we gotta spice up
the conversation a little bit.

1039
00:44:47,017 --> 00:44:48,852
I love your guests.

1040
00:44:48,852 --> 00:44:51,889
Jimmy Carter, Dolly Parton does a lot.

1041
00:44:53,957 --> 00:44:56,960
Trying to think of

1042
00:44:56,994 --> 00:45:00,531
a philanthropist
that I would probably, maybe Bill gates.

1043
00:45:00,564 --> 00:45:01,265
Oh, yeah.

1044
00:45:01,265 --> 00:45:04,268
It would be a great conversation.

1045
00:45:04,368 --> 00:45:07,371
So I, I admire him
for how he kind of dedicates

1046
00:45:07,971 --> 00:45:11,875
time every year to reading books
and staying on top of things.

1047
00:45:11,875 --> 00:45:14,511
So yeah, it'll be an interesting
conversation.

1048
00:45:14,511 --> 00:45:17,147
So mom, dad, Bill gates
and do we have a fourth.

1049
00:45:17,147 --> 00:45:19,249
Oh I don't count is the fourth.

1050
00:45:19,249 --> 00:45:21,151
I come up with,

1051
00:45:21,151 --> 00:45:23,454
Carrot.

1052
00:45:23,454 --> 00:45:27,191
Well, yeah, it's probably my wife, but I
didn't want to use them all up for family.

1053
00:45:27,191 --> 00:45:30,394
But, yeah, maybe Warren Buffett as well.

1054
00:45:30,394 --> 00:45:31,962
Oh, that's the great.

1055
00:45:31,962 --> 00:45:33,097
Money, guys.

1056
00:45:33,097 --> 00:45:35,499
Money guys as well as philanthropy. Yeah.

1057
00:45:35,499 --> 00:45:38,969
Although, yeah, he's really kind of follow
Bill gates lead on that, but

1058
00:45:39,603 --> 00:45:41,238
definitely has
his heart in the right place.

1059
00:45:42,439 --> 00:45:42,973
It's great.

1060
00:45:42,973 --> 00:45:45,743
Great. It sounds like a wonderful dinner.

1061
00:45:45,743 --> 00:45:48,212
Now, how about, a special moment
with a friend?

1062
00:45:48,212 --> 00:45:50,714
Our podcast is Feeney Talks with Friends.

1063
00:45:50,714 --> 00:45:53,717
Do you have a special one with a friend
you like to share

1064
00:45:55,052 --> 00:45:55,853
special moment.

1065
00:45:55,853 --> 00:45:58,856
With a friend? Well, you know, one of the.

1066
00:45:59,123 --> 00:46:03,594
I'll tell you, one of the favorite days
that I have each year

1067
00:46:03,761 --> 00:46:07,531
is I have a client through planning
that we did for him

1068
00:46:07,531 --> 00:46:10,534
after his wife
passed away from lung cancer.

1069
00:46:11,502 --> 00:46:13,470
That he makes a gift every year

1070
00:46:13,470 --> 00:46:16,440
to thoracic cancer research,

1071
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:18,709
down in New Haven.

1072
00:46:18,709 --> 00:46:22,079
And so, at smile, we go down at once

1073
00:46:22,079 --> 00:46:25,082
a year to, to make that donation check.

1074
00:46:25,449 --> 00:46:30,154
So I drive him down and walk him in and,
and make that donation to the,

1075
00:46:30,721 --> 00:46:35,492
the doctor that does the primary research,
in that thoracic cancer.

1076
00:46:35,659 --> 00:46:39,062
And that, to me is, is a day
I always look forward to.

1077
00:46:39,363 --> 00:46:41,165
That's really sweet. That's awesome. Love.

1078
00:46:42,699 --> 00:46:45,536
That is a loaded question, too,
because I have a lot of friends.

1079
00:46:45,536 --> 00:46:49,373
Like which one are you going
to highlight again, this is really. Off.

1080
00:46:49,940 --> 00:46:51,642
But I got like, your favorite kid.

1081
00:46:51,642 --> 00:46:52,442
Your next question.

1082
00:46:52,442 --> 00:46:53,043
Your favorite. Kid.

1083
00:46:53,043 --> 00:46:56,180
Do not do that to me. No.

1084
00:46:57,714 --> 00:47:00,417
I don't know whether or not to go,
like, dark or, like, happy, right?

1085
00:47:00,417 --> 00:47:02,252
Like, they're like,
they're both good, though.

1086
00:47:02,252 --> 00:47:04,021
I think I go dark on this one.

1087
00:47:04,021 --> 00:47:05,389
You've kind of went a little dark, too.

1088
00:47:05,389 --> 00:47:09,693
So, I think we both kind of, like, think
about really meaningful interactions.

1089
00:47:09,693 --> 00:47:12,596
And this is maybe not the happiest
interaction, but it was really special.

1090
00:47:12,596 --> 00:47:15,732
My one of my very, very best friends,
she was my college roommate.

1091
00:47:15,732 --> 00:47:19,736
She is a Bosnian immigrant
that came over, with the help

1092
00:47:19,736 --> 00:47:23,307
from the Presbyterian Church to South
Carolina as a war refugee from Germany.

1093
00:47:23,607 --> 00:47:27,244
She escaped Bosnia with her family.

1094
00:47:27,244 --> 00:47:30,848
All of the men in her family were murdered
during that war, including her father,

1095
00:47:31,081 --> 00:47:34,051
and we were both studying abroad
in college at the same time.

1096
00:47:34,051 --> 00:47:37,020
She was in Germany
and I was in Spain, and we met up

1097
00:47:37,020 --> 00:47:41,158
and they found her father's body
and or the remains of her body

1098
00:47:41,158 --> 00:47:45,262
and his body,
and returned his belongings to her.

1099
00:47:45,262 --> 00:47:48,332
And we flew back to the US
and sat in our dorm room

1100
00:47:48,632 --> 00:47:51,001
and just like sat there
with his belongings and,

1101
00:47:51,001 --> 00:47:54,504
and these are like, you know,
we're like 20, 21, like we're 20.

1102
00:47:55,138 --> 00:47:56,173
It was so deep.

1103
00:47:56,173 --> 00:48:00,544
And so I remember crying, but also
being happy and like all the emotions.

1104
00:48:00,544 --> 00:48:01,545
And I'm just,

1105
00:48:01,545 --> 00:48:04,481
you know, a kid from Georgia, like,
I've had this really great life

1106
00:48:04,481 --> 00:48:05,649
and just to know someone

1107
00:48:05,649 --> 00:48:08,719
that has had this depth of experience
that has always affected me

1108
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:09,953
and she's like such a

1109
00:48:09,953 --> 00:48:12,923
important part of my kids lives now
because she lives in New York

1110
00:48:12,923 --> 00:48:16,660
and I live here in Connecticut,
and we just entwined her experience

1111
00:48:16,660 --> 00:48:18,562
with our family.
And I think it's really special.

1112
00:48:18,562 --> 00:48:22,699
So deep and dark, but like, really, really
cool to be able to do that with her.

1113
00:48:22,699 --> 00:48:25,202
That's great to great experiences.

1114
00:48:25,202 --> 00:48:25,802
That's awesome.

1115
00:48:27,204 --> 00:48:29,439
And based on our last podcast

1116
00:48:29,439 --> 00:48:33,710
Stefania is into Marvel and
and superheroes.

1117
00:48:34,111 --> 00:48:37,080
So do you have a favorite superhero
or superpower?

1118
00:48:38,282 --> 00:48:41,251
So shout out to episode 123.

1119
00:48:42,853 --> 00:48:44,288
Wow. Having two daughters.

1120
00:48:44,288 --> 00:48:47,291
I never really saw
a lot of superhero movies,

1121
00:48:47,424 --> 00:48:51,495
but you know, say yes to the dress
or anything like that, you know, HTV,

1122
00:48:51,561 --> 00:48:53,096
I'm I'm right on it.

1123
00:48:53,096 --> 00:48:56,099
But, Wow.

1124
00:48:57,534 --> 00:48:57,935
I'm with you.

1125
00:48:57,935 --> 00:48:59,903
I have two daughters.

1126
00:48:59,903 --> 00:49:02,306
So. Yeah, that that's a hard one.

1127
00:49:02,306 --> 00:49:03,707
Superpower.

1128
00:49:03,707 --> 00:49:04,841
Do you have one in mind?

1129
00:49:04,841 --> 00:49:09,446
I mean, I have two boys, one of which
has very strong opinions on superheroes.

1130
00:49:09,846 --> 00:49:12,516
I mean, I really do not like.

1131
00:49:12,516 --> 00:49:13,750
I'm not into that at all.

1132
00:49:13,750 --> 00:49:16,753
Like, I feel like I don't I've got a
I've got to figure it out.

1133
00:49:18,755 --> 00:49:20,190
I mean guys,

1134
00:49:21,325 --> 00:49:22,092
this is hard.

1135
00:49:22,092 --> 00:49:22,893
Really hard for me.

1136
00:49:22,893 --> 00:49:26,096
I mean maybe Spiderman,
but I feel like he's like losing

1137
00:49:26,163 --> 00:49:27,631
James is falling right now.

1138
00:49:27,631 --> 00:49:31,568
So like, I might have to switch gears
to like a new one, but maybe Spider-Man.

1139
00:49:31,568 --> 00:49:33,170
But I really don't have strong opinions
on it.

1140
00:49:33,170 --> 00:49:36,106
Super power.

1141
00:49:36,106 --> 00:49:37,607
I mean, this is probably not real.

1142
00:49:37,607 --> 00:49:39,977
But like,
maybe just like tuning it all out

1143
00:49:39,977 --> 00:49:43,313
when the chaos is around you
with a one, and a four year old like that

1144
00:49:43,313 --> 00:49:46,783
would be a great, a great superpower
if they want to come up with that one.

1145
00:49:47,851 --> 00:49:49,953
To get one.

1146
00:49:49,953 --> 00:49:50,320
So yeah.

1147
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,323
Focus.

1148
00:49:54,391 --> 00:49:56,093
Hulk.

1149
00:49:56,093 --> 00:49:57,094
Thor.

1150
00:49:57,094 --> 00:49:59,296
Well,

1151
00:49:59,296 --> 00:50:01,598
I mean, I like the idea of Superman,
because then you can just kind of

1152
00:50:01,598 --> 00:50:04,234
take off. You don't need a vehicle,
you don't need anything.

1153
00:50:04,234 --> 00:50:06,269
You can just,
you know, shoot up and take off.

1154
00:50:06,269 --> 00:50:09,473
So that probably flying
would be a nice superpower.

1155
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:12,009
Superman.

1156
00:50:12,009 --> 00:50:14,811
So I'd go for Superman. That's great.

1157
00:50:14,811 --> 00:50:17,981
It's a
the Christopher Reeve Specials on Prime.

1158
00:50:18,215 --> 00:50:20,117
I haven't checked that out yet,
but I'm going to.

1159
00:50:20,117 --> 00:50:23,120
I grew up watching Superman with my uncle,
so that one's a good one.

1160
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,789
Superman.

1161
00:50:25,789 --> 00:50:28,358
So we at the friends favorite restaurant?

1162
00:50:28,358 --> 00:50:30,594
Superheroes. Any questions for me?

1163
00:50:30,594 --> 00:50:33,697
Anything that you think I've missed
or that you want to share?

1164
00:50:35,932 --> 00:50:37,534
I don't think that's anything.

1165
00:50:37,534 --> 00:50:39,403
I think you did a great job.

1166
00:50:39,403 --> 00:50:42,639
I think what you do is really, really
interesting and I love your website.

1167
00:50:42,873 --> 00:50:45,842
I like the bottom,
the like how the the sticker moves.

1168
00:50:45,942 --> 00:50:46,777
Yeah.

1169
00:50:46,777 --> 00:50:48,812
You guys can't stop looking at it.

1170
00:50:48,812 --> 00:50:49,713
I was like playing with that was it.

1171
00:50:49,713 --> 00:50:52,482
Can I make it move? I can't
I think you can.

1172
00:50:52,482 --> 00:50:53,784
I think the mouse makes it move.

1173
00:50:53,784 --> 00:50:54,918
It did, it did.

1174
00:50:54,918 --> 00:50:56,386
But I couldn't, like, move it somewhere
else.

1175
00:50:56,386 --> 00:50:59,022
Like, I was like literally like on there
trying to it.

1176
00:50:59,022 --> 00:51:01,224
It's very cool.
I really appreciate what you do.

1177
00:51:01,224 --> 00:51:05,495
When I first moved here in 2020, again,
kind of tasked with building this market

1178
00:51:05,495 --> 00:51:09,933
from the ground up, not having board
or relationships really prior,

1179
00:51:09,933 --> 00:51:15,072
I look to see what local non-profits
were around, and you and Chinese Jock

1180
00:51:15,072 --> 00:51:18,708
were the two that I was like, oh my gosh,
they've got the market cornered.

1181
00:51:18,708 --> 00:51:22,179
And like the fundraising, not I mean,
I mean that with all the love, right?

1182
00:51:22,179 --> 00:51:25,182
Like there's enough for
everyone says your book too, right? Yes.

1183
00:51:25,782 --> 00:51:29,019
But I definitely really
looked up to you all

1184
00:51:29,019 --> 00:51:32,389
and to Lara with Johnny's dog
to just see what you guys were doing.

1185
00:51:32,389 --> 00:51:36,159
This community loves what you're doing,
so it's like an honor to meet

1186
00:51:36,159 --> 00:51:38,829
you, honestly. Thank you so much.
I really appreciate that. Yeah.

1187
00:51:38,829 --> 00:51:40,764
Johnny Dog has been like our big brother.

1188
00:51:40,764 --> 00:51:43,767
So our role model, they're wonderful.

1189
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,803
We were the Clover Club charity of choice.

1190
00:51:46,803 --> 00:51:50,173
So honored for that donation
and that sponsorship or that,

1191
00:51:51,074 --> 00:51:53,210
grant that they gave us. So, yeah.

1192
00:51:53,210 --> 00:51:53,910
Great people.

1193
00:51:53,910 --> 00:51:56,880
And we're just just a third grade teacher,

1194
00:51:57,114 --> 00:51:59,749
from a divorced family,
knew how it was not to see my dad.

1195
00:51:59,749 --> 00:52:02,352
Every once in a while,
I had a student lose their dad.

1196
00:52:03,353 --> 00:52:03,987
The family

1197
00:52:03,987 --> 00:52:06,990
had twins, I had twins,
I had to do something.

1198
00:52:07,290 --> 00:52:12,395
And since then, we've helped over
90 families and raised over $225,000.

1199
00:52:12,395 --> 00:52:15,265
So, so cool. And we're continuing to grow.
I got a wonderful board.

1200
00:52:15,265 --> 00:52:18,068
That's Matt on the board of directors.

1201
00:52:18,068 --> 00:52:19,736
He was instrumental on that website.

1202
00:52:19,736 --> 00:52:20,604
So thank you. Great job.

1203
00:52:20,604 --> 00:52:22,873
You heard that compliment.
That was a great job.

1204
00:52:22,873 --> 00:52:25,876
We're going to have,

1205
00:52:26,409 --> 00:52:29,379
a press release on our website through
we had.com,

1206
00:52:29,379 --> 00:52:32,749
and the West Hartford Chamber of Commerce
are going to do a press press release.

1207
00:52:32,749 --> 00:52:37,154
I did not know websites were press
new websites were press release worthy.

1208
00:52:37,154 --> 00:52:40,757
But, Kate from the, chamber said,
that's a wonderful idea.

1209
00:52:41,391 --> 00:52:43,727
And it's really a really looks nice.

1210
00:52:43,727 --> 00:52:46,396
So it's well done. And I'm very happy
and excited to share it.

1211
00:52:46,396 --> 00:52:48,798
So we're coming out with a press release.

1212
00:52:48,798 --> 00:52:50,200
We had.com coming soon.

1213
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:52,302
Congratulations. Thank you so much.

1214
00:52:52,302 --> 00:52:53,403
That's great.

1215
00:52:53,403 --> 00:52:57,474
So my question for you is where do you see
friends of Fenian 510 years.

1216
00:52:57,474 --> 00:52:59,609
You now good question I hear that a lot.

1217
00:53:00,677 --> 00:53:04,114
Everyone's like oh when are you going to
stop teaching and just do this full time?

1218
00:53:04,114 --> 00:53:06,550
And I don't know, will,

1219
00:53:06,550 --> 00:53:09,152
my kids again are going to college.

1220
00:53:09,152 --> 00:53:12,422
I love my job
as I'm in my 21st year teaching,

1221
00:53:13,323 --> 00:53:16,459
nine years in Waterbury, Connecticut,
where I went to school, same school

1222
00:53:16,459 --> 00:53:17,260
that I went to as a kid.

1223
00:53:17,260 --> 00:53:21,298
I taught, and then I'm in my 12 year
at Wolcott, where my daughters went.

1224
00:53:21,698 --> 00:53:24,701
So both schools really meant a lot.

1225
00:53:25,902 --> 00:53:29,506
I had my administration degree
so I could be a vice principal.

1226
00:53:30,407 --> 00:53:33,810
Or do I go full time
with the friends of Feeney?

1227
00:53:33,810 --> 00:53:36,346
So I have a lot of decisions to make.

1228
00:53:36,346 --> 00:53:37,214
Wonderful question.

1229
00:53:37,214 --> 00:53:38,281
I'm hearing a lot.

1230
00:53:38,281 --> 00:53:41,051
But in five years I hope to helped.

1231
00:53:41,051 --> 00:53:42,152
What are we at now?

1232
00:53:42,152 --> 00:53:45,155
We're at, 90, so I hope to have

1233
00:53:45,188 --> 00:53:48,024
helped maybe 250 families

1234
00:53:49,192 --> 00:53:50,160
and raised over.

1235
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:52,229
Be great to be at $1 million. Yeah.

1236
00:53:52,229 --> 00:53:53,797
In five years you can do it.

1237
00:53:53,797 --> 00:53:56,833
Of help and donations
and support to families in need.

1238
00:53:57,601 --> 00:53:58,835
So that's our goal.

1239
00:53:58,835 --> 00:54:01,838
$1 million distributed to families.

1240
00:54:02,105 --> 00:54:05,108
And in five years,
which is a lot of money.

1241
00:54:06,309 --> 00:54:08,011
Where a quarter of the way there.

1242
00:54:08,011 --> 00:54:10,347
You can do it.

1243
00:54:10,347 --> 00:54:12,148
It's a mighty goal.

1244
00:54:12,148 --> 00:54:15,719
But you never know
until you got to set a goal to reach it.

1245
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:18,788
Right. Correct. Smart goal. Is it like.

1246
00:54:19,422 --> 00:54:22,025
It's specific measurable attainable.

1247
00:54:22,025 --> 00:54:24,094
Exactly. Timely.

1248
00:54:24,094 --> 00:54:25,795
Yeah. Five years for a mill
is pretty good.

1249
00:54:25,795 --> 00:54:27,130
That's timely.

1250
00:54:27,130 --> 00:54:28,431
Good question.

1251
00:54:28,431 --> 00:54:32,569
So do you find that
there's a bigger need than you can fulfill

1252
00:54:32,569 --> 00:54:35,605
or are you finding that
you're fundraising.

1253
00:54:35,605 --> 00:54:37,107
You're able to kind of keep we.

1254
00:54:37,107 --> 00:54:39,909
Just got one today. I was like, hey, my,

1255
00:54:41,544 --> 00:54:44,281
brother lost everything in the in
his and his house.

1256
00:54:44,281 --> 00:54:47,284
You know, we heard from you from a friend.

1257
00:54:47,417 --> 00:54:48,718
Someone had a house fire.

1258
00:54:48,718 --> 00:54:51,454
They went to Human resources
and Terry ville,

1259
00:54:51,454 --> 00:54:55,091
someone in the department
refer them to friends of Feeney.

1260
00:54:55,625 --> 00:54:56,760
Anyone in school?

1261
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,929
There's, like, a a West Hartford family.

1262
00:54:59,929 --> 00:55:03,233
Like the all the social workers know
in the school system.

1263
00:55:03,633 --> 00:55:05,702
They reach out to friends of Feeney.

1264
00:55:05,702 --> 00:55:08,705
So our name is getting out there.

1265
00:55:09,372 --> 00:55:10,540
We're just continuing to help people.

1266
00:55:10,540 --> 00:55:12,709
We really have never said no.

1267
00:55:12,709 --> 00:55:18,048
But if it's out of our local area,
like the California fires or the Florida

1268
00:55:18,048 --> 00:55:22,552
hurricanes, like, we would love to help,
but we're trying to keep it.

1269
00:55:22,552 --> 00:55:24,354
Connecticut.

1270
00:55:24,354 --> 00:55:26,523
You know, West Hartford to Waterbury, to

1271
00:55:26,523 --> 00:55:29,492
Hartford area.

1272
00:55:30,460 --> 00:55:31,895
Just so please.

1273
00:55:31,895 --> 00:55:33,096
Yeah, we have a whole donation

1274
00:55:33,096 --> 00:55:36,499
request form
now where families can fill it out, put,

1275
00:55:38,201 --> 00:55:41,171
you know,
their name, email, how we can help.

1276
00:55:41,171 --> 00:55:44,174
What donation would be suffice?

1277
00:55:44,341 --> 00:55:46,710
What is their circumstance?

1278
00:55:46,710 --> 00:55:48,111
So we'll have that out.

1279
00:55:48,111 --> 00:55:50,080
Their website is giving
a lot more information.

1280
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:53,083
So go to friends of Phoenix. Com.

1285
00:56:03,259 --> 00:56:05,662
We're up to 350 now. Fantastic.

1286
00:56:05,662 --> 00:56:08,665
So we're at 250 a year ago.

1287
00:56:09,232 --> 00:56:11,134
Slow, slow and steady.

1288
00:56:11,134 --> 00:56:12,769
It's a grind.

1289
00:56:12,769 --> 00:56:15,772
Yes it is, yes it is.

1290
00:56:16,206 --> 00:56:18,208
So yeah, thank you for coming on.

1291
00:56:18,208 --> 00:56:22,045
Any closing remarks
or final things that you'd like to share?

1292
00:56:23,413 --> 00:56:25,915
Well, first, I just want to thank you
for the invitation

1293
00:56:25,915 --> 00:56:30,553
of being here and having the opportunity
to, to share kind of what I'm up to,

1294
00:56:30,720 --> 00:56:34,524
with the Connecticut Beer
tour for a cancer free future. And,

1295
00:56:35,458 --> 00:56:35,992
hope that

1296
00:56:35,992 --> 00:56:38,995
everybody listening or watching can,

1297
00:56:39,062 --> 00:56:42,799
take some time out of their busy schedule
to come and raise a pint,

1298
00:56:43,166 --> 00:56:46,169
to make a difference in families
dealing with blood cancer.

1299
00:56:47,737 --> 00:56:50,707
With our missions aligned,
because that is heartbreak and tragedy.

1300
00:56:50,707 --> 00:56:53,710
So I would love to come to I'm
going to try to make the West

1301
00:56:53,710 --> 00:56:57,981
Hartford ones for sure,
and then maybe try that JJ special at.

1302
00:56:59,048 --> 00:57:00,750
At, back east.

1303
00:57:00,750 --> 00:57:03,753
That sounds exciting. Very tasty.

1304
00:57:03,887 --> 00:57:07,257
No, I echo what he said
and thanks, Greg, to like,

1305
00:57:07,257 --> 00:57:10,026
thank you so much for everything
you've done for this organization.

1306
00:57:10,026 --> 00:57:11,594
And thank you for giving us this platform.

1307
00:57:11,594 --> 00:57:14,330
Because really, that's what it's about
is getting the word out. Yeah.

1308
00:57:14,330 --> 00:57:17,300
And you know, like you with having money
to give to the community.

1309
00:57:17,300 --> 00:57:19,636
We also have that here at all of us.

1310
00:57:19,636 --> 00:57:21,871
So, you know,
we should really talk offline

1311
00:57:21,871 --> 00:57:25,575
and figure out how to refer better and,
and yeah, I think that'd be really cool.

1312
00:57:25,909 --> 00:57:26,709
So. Yeah.

1313
00:57:28,011 --> 00:57:28,912
Happy to partner.

1314
00:57:28,912 --> 00:57:33,183
I find strength power in numbers
and collaboration is very, very important.

1315
00:57:33,450 --> 00:57:34,918
Partnerships are important.

1316
00:57:34,918 --> 00:57:37,921
We team up with Johnny's Jog,
we do their photo booth.

1317
00:57:37,954 --> 00:57:40,957
We've teamed up with,

1318
00:57:40,990 --> 00:57:42,192
a couple other.

1319
00:57:42,192 --> 00:57:44,294
We we had a booth at the pride event.

1320
00:57:44,294 --> 00:57:47,297
We do a booth at,

1321
00:57:47,330 --> 00:57:49,899
the summer, what's up?

1322
00:57:49,899 --> 00:57:51,668
Summer fair thing with.

1323
00:57:51,668 --> 00:57:54,170
The carnival in first?

1324
00:57:54,170 --> 00:57:56,573
Yes, it was our first

1325
00:57:56,573 --> 00:57:58,374
taste of West Hartford or West Hartford.

1326
00:57:58,374 --> 00:57:59,909
Something western for days. Yeah.

1327
00:57:59,909 --> 00:58:01,711
Yes. Good friend.

1328
00:58:01,711 --> 00:58:04,280
Linda Geisler runs that. That nice?

1329
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:05,748
Yeah. Nice.

1330
00:58:05,748 --> 00:58:06,282
So, yeah.

1331
00:58:06,282 --> 00:58:07,650
It was a honor to talk with you.

1332
00:58:07,650 --> 00:58:09,285
Oh, I I've seen this.

1333
00:58:09,285 --> 00:58:10,920
I have to do it. This maybe fits in.

1334
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:13,523
So we're going to play a quick game
before we go.

1335
00:58:13,523 --> 00:58:16,593
Okay. It's 612 1824.

1336
00:58:17,660 --> 00:58:19,028
You got to do

1337
00:58:19,028 --> 00:58:22,365
you got to do six of one, 12 of one,
18 of one.

1338
00:58:22,365 --> 00:58:25,368
So he's either eat donuts,

1339
00:58:25,668 --> 00:58:28,004
take the paper cuts,

1340
00:58:28,004 --> 00:58:31,207
run the miles or drink the beers

1341
00:58:32,275 --> 00:58:35,278
six, 12, 18 or 24.

1342
00:58:35,545 --> 00:58:37,447
What I do not even so you say so.

1343
00:58:37,447 --> 00:58:39,516
Say you like eat six donuts.

1344
00:58:39,516 --> 00:58:44,153
That means you got to take 12 paper cuts
and then are you going to drink 18 beers?

1345
00:58:44,153 --> 00:58:47,156
Are you going to run 18 miles?

1346
00:58:49,058 --> 00:58:52,061
Well, I would do six paper cut.

1347
00:58:52,262 --> 00:58:54,330
Yeah okay.

1348
00:58:54,330 --> 00:58:55,832
I can do 12 miles.

1349
00:58:55,832 --> 00:58:58,801
Okay. Sure.

1350
00:58:58,868 --> 00:59:02,872
18 donuts would be a tall ask,
but I could probably do it.

1351
00:59:02,872 --> 00:59:06,009
Especially if they're Krispy Kreme that,
you know, not overly filling.

1352
00:59:06,009 --> 00:59:09,445
So nice. Nice. And then 24 beers. Hello.

1353
00:59:09,479 --> 00:59:12,282
You have to know there's no time
limit on that, right?

1354
00:59:12,282 --> 00:59:14,284
No, no, not 24 and 24 minutes.

1355
00:59:14,284 --> 00:59:18,254
But, I think I deeply agree with your path
on that, to be honest with you.

1356
00:59:18,254 --> 00:59:19,622
Like, I mean,

1357
00:59:19,622 --> 00:59:22,525
as long as there's no time limit,
to be honest with you, I could even do

1358
00:59:22,525 --> 00:59:26,229
like the longer run if it were like
this really long, long journey.

1359
00:59:26,229 --> 00:59:28,264
Like,
I could take breaks, like naps in between.

1360
00:59:28,264 --> 00:59:29,032
I'll do 24.

1361
00:59:29,032 --> 00:59:31,434
It would be great for just 120, 24.

1362
00:59:31,434 --> 00:59:32,468
You can have a beer, great.

1363
00:59:32,468 --> 00:59:34,370
Plan, a little bit of running
and then yeah.

1364
00:59:34,370 --> 00:59:37,073
You set up a beer and donut each.

1365
00:59:37,073 --> 00:59:39,709
So in here I will get to all of them.

1366
00:59:39,709 --> 00:59:41,744
We can do that motive.

1367
00:59:41,744 --> 00:59:44,581
But yeah, definitely
with you on the papercuts like hardcore.

1368
00:59:44,581 --> 00:59:45,682
Yes. Six.

1369
00:59:45,682 --> 00:59:46,282
Why would you do that?

1370
00:59:46,282 --> 00:59:48,318
Oh, I saw this.

1371
00:59:48,318 --> 00:59:50,887
So I was like, I gotta ask, put it down.

1372
00:59:50,887 --> 00:59:53,122
Has anyone ever wanted more than six? No.

1373
00:59:53,122 --> 00:59:56,225
That's the first time I've ever podcast
I've seen it on another clip.

1374
00:59:56,292 --> 00:59:56,893
All right.

1375
00:59:56,893 --> 00:59:59,262
But the bears thing,
I was like, all right it fits. Yeah.

1376
01:00:00,763 --> 01:00:03,132
But bears on paper cuts are definitely.

1377
01:00:03,132 --> 01:00:07,203
So the two challenging ones
and to kind of easier ones.

1378
01:00:07,370 --> 01:00:09,505
You don't want to do you want to do beer
and donuts on the same day.

1379
01:00:09,505 --> 01:00:11,441
Because that's a lot. No.

1380
01:00:11,441 --> 01:00:16,112
But there are some good pastry stouts
that kind of go well with donuts.

1381
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:19,382
And there is something called a beer mile.

1382
01:00:19,382 --> 01:00:23,720
You run a lap of a track, you have to chug
a beer, you run a it's a world record.

1383
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:26,723
In the Guinness
Book of World Records, you run chug.

1384
01:00:27,190 --> 01:00:29,592
Also, there's a donut mile.

1385
01:00:29,592 --> 01:00:32,161
Fleet feet does something.
I feel like I could get on board, but.

1386
01:00:32,161 --> 01:00:33,963
Are there any runs on Wednesday night?

1387
01:00:33,963 --> 01:00:36,299
Yes, they do a donut run.

1388
01:00:36,299 --> 01:00:39,302
You run three miles and eat a donut
after every mile.

1389
01:00:39,335 --> 01:00:41,437
I. I can try that. I could do that.

1390
01:00:42,872 --> 01:00:43,206
Yeah.

1391
01:00:43,206 --> 01:00:46,476
And you don't feel guilty because you're
running it off while you're running,

1392
01:00:47,110 --> 01:00:48,745
and then you're training for Johnny's jog.

1393
01:00:48,745 --> 01:00:49,679
Are you getting ready for.

1394
01:00:49,679 --> 01:00:51,247
Getting ready

1395
01:00:51,247 --> 01:00:51,614
again?

1396
01:00:51,614 --> 01:00:54,617
We're here
