#75: Vince Tursi | DSSOLVR

This week, we had the absolute pleasure of catching up with one of the most intrepid minds in fermentation, Vince Tursi!
Alongside buddy-turned-business partner Mike Semenac, Vince is a co-founder/owner of DSSOLVR Beverage Co., located within the esteemed utopia of Asheville, NC. Their brewery - which fired up its system for the first time almost exactly 12 months ago - has experienced quite the rookie year, as most of it has unfolded inside a pandemic. We dive into that whirlwind of an experience and learn of the  patently inspiring ways DSSOLVR has made the most out of an objectively shitty situation and the positive, long-term paradigm shifts COVID-induced reflection has kickstarted within the business.  We also trace through Vince's impressive industry resume, and he delineates how his respective stints at Night Shift, Lord Hobo Brewing, Burial Beer, and The Whale Bar have helped mold his approach to brewing and business ownership. 
The conversation takes an unexpected turn a little over halfway through, when decides to take the interviewer reigns, which leads to a discussion about management that was equal measures surprising as it was enjoyable. Last, not least, and certainly not all; we talk about brewing with crickets, make a case for pizza beer, and celebrate the surreal with a proper amount reverie surrounding the infamous Tim and Eric's Awesome Show Great Job. 
We haven't laughed as much in an episode since a profession comedian graced the show back in April, and yet we may also have never  participated in this level of real-time reflection with a guest. If you're reading this, you known you can listen in now, so go ahead and do what you know this weird, weird universe wants you to do. .................................. .....................................................
