The stars have aligned for a conversation that has been been in text tag purgatory since  the podcast's inception, and Austin Street Brewery's Lisa Kellndorfer finally joins the show! Despite being BBB's Industrial Way neighbor for a few weeks, Noah and Matt know very little  about her background. So, Lisa gets them up to speed in real time about the path to her current role as Head of Production at ASB, from getting hired as Assistant Brewer with a solid background in scientific research but absolutely zero experience working in a brewery (and little more knowledge about brewing itself),  to her rapid ascendancy as director of day-to-day operations only four years later. Lisa and the guys also dig into her role alongside her bosses (founders Jake Austin and Will Fisher) in laying the foundation for a remarkably inclusive culture within ASB and the plethora of positive downstream effects the culture continues to have on itself. This pearl of a conversation also touches on the many shapes of creativity, bootstrapping the scientific method, and missed investment opportunities with the term "Latte" on, of all spaces, the ski slope. Bombs away like Bode Miller. .......... ...................... ............................... ............................................... ............ Music: "Mountain Climb" by Jake Hill
