#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. ..................................
