In this episode of Bourbon & Bullsh*t, John Manes welcomes “The Arizona Guys” — Andrew Wisdom and Jorge Varela from OpenTech Alliance — who flew in from Phoenix to Katy, Texas for a few good pours and even better stories. With bottles of Stagg Jr. (Batch 23C) and Elmer T. Lee 90 Proof open on the bar, the crew talks bourbon, business, fatherhood, and finding humour (and wisdom) in the grind.
Grab a pour and join them as they dig into:
• The Texas Self Storage Association bourbon & wine night — 30+ bottles, incredible food from Peché, Austin
• What “PropTech” really means in the self-storage world
• From call centre to VP of Sales — 13 years of lessons and loyalty
• Marriage, ex-wives, kids, and why bourbon might be the best therapy
• Cooking, construction, golf, and making a mean pot of beans
• How butter, beans, pasta, and stock became life rules worth following
