This week we're joined by Audrey Finocchiaro and Sam Lancaster, founders of The Nitro Cart: locally sourced, locally brewed, and locally poured really f*cking good nitro cold brew. Together, Audrey and Sam have grown a community of nitro cart/bar/tap enthusiasts they lovingly refer to as the "Nitro Cartel".

Topics include having a genuine interest in the people around you, the importance of aesthetic, imposted syndrome, audacious goals, and overcoming the struggles of building a business from scratch.

If you love ycdi•di and want to support it, you can become a patron of the show.
