Ever wonder how a small coastal town quietly builds a powerhouse community around a local distillery? During this episode we sit with Jeff from 21st Amendment Distillery to trace the heartbeat of Vero Beach—why the locals matter most, how philanthropy stays front and center, and what it takes to run a craft spot that feels like home without losing sight of hard numbers. The conversation starts with the town’s small-but-g...
Slip into a private tasting room, at 21st Amendment Distillery, where Victorian mirrors, antique chairs, and a ceiling woven from whiskey staves set the tone for a different kind of night out.

A hidden tasting room, and a bourbon that proudly wears both the American and Florida flags—welcome to our sit-down with 21st Amendment Distillery founder Jeff Palleschi.

What if a beach town chose character over skyline? We sit with Steve of Blue Agave to unpack why Vero Beach still feels like a place you can recognize from one year to the next: low-rise limits protect ocean views, locals trade stories about the days past US 1, and Friday night football can fill a stadium like few small towns can. The result isn’t sleepy; it’s intentional, and it changes how people live, dine, and stay c...
What makes a small neighborhood restaurant feel bigger than its four walls?

A better iced latte and a better summit push have more in common than you think. We sat down at Tribe Coffee with owner and adventurer Sean Wisdale to dig into the craft behind both: choosing the right roast for cold brew, freezing coffee into blocks to protect flavor, and building systems that hold up under stress.

We discuss choosing a smaller city without...
