In this episode, we check out 818 - a tiny design empire. Co-founders Melissa Carlson and Rachel Abel joined forces twelve years ago, thanks to Iowa's growing craft beer scene, a chance encounter at Jimmy Carter Happy Hour with what would become Confluence Brewing.
Sharing a passion for local businesses, beer, and design, hear how Rachel and Melissa have navigated business together, and the rewards that come with it.
Topics shared include today's marketing to today's cross-drinker, thoughts on bringing the atmosphere of your taproom onto a retail shelf, and general branding touchpoints extending beyond the taproom.
Plus a bonus! Rachel provided a link to the “in progress” site for the film she’s working on, https://www.juryofherpeers.com/ and a Spotify playlist for when Melissa gets her that 1968 Camaro.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
