Whiskey & Wisdom: Recent Episodes

Tyler Yaw & Chris Kellum

Discussing life's most fascinating topics over a good glass of whiskey.

Jody Fletcher helped lead Navy organizations of up to 45,000 people. His biggest leadership lesson was simple: how you treat people directly affects how they perform.

After nearly 30 years in the U.S. Navy—including service as a corpsman alongside Marine Corps Recon and MARSOC—Jody became a command master chief and senior enlisted advisor to two- and three-star generals.

In this episode of Whiskey & Wisdom, Jody joins Tyler Yaw and Chris Kellum to discuss the leadership principles behind his book, Good Humans Make Great Leaders.

Jody explains why leadership skills must be deliberately developed, what separates a good human from a merely effective performer, and why authority alone will never create a great team. The conversation covers self-awareness, boundaries, relationship-building, difficult personnel decisions, optimism, and the principle of “first do no harm.”

The crew also pours Jefferson’s Ocean Voyage 24 and debates whether aging bourbon at sea actually changes the flavor—or simply creates a better story.

If you lead a team, own a business, serve in the military, or want to become someone others can trust, this conversation is for you.

Wilmington muralist Alexia Campbell painted nearly 40 murals in about three years—and she scales her designs onto massive walls without using a projector. In this episode, Alexia reveals the freehand process behind her murals, the Instagram momentum that helped turn art into a business, and how she balances large commercial projects, architectural drafting, motherhood, surfing, and faith.

Tyler Yaw and Chris Kellum sit down with Alexia Campbell of Board Meeting to trace the journey from her first mural at Fu’s barber shop to major Wilmington-area projects at Lakeside Fitness, Hidden Grounds, and beyond. Alexia explains how she moves a design from her iPad to a wall, what she learned from painting brick and floors, which projects challenged her most, and why success means more than getting bigger jobs.

If you have seen one of Alexia’s murals around Wilmington, tell us which one is your favorite in the comments.

Chris Kellum and Tyler Yaw welcome back wedding photographer Leigh Roberts for a candid conversation covering sobriety, wedding industry trends, photography hot takes, and what happens when a wedding professional plans her own wedding. Leigh shares her journey of being sober for one year and seven months after a major health scare, discussing the lifestyle changes, nutrition adjustments, supplements, and daily habits that helped her regain her health. She also reflects on her decision to elope after spending nearly 14 years photographing weddings, explaining why she and her husband chose a small, intimate celebration that cost roughly $6,000.

The conversation dives deep into the realities of modern weddings, including rising costs, vendor pricing, wedding-industry politics, and the trends Leigh believes should disappear. She discusses everything from polka-dot wedding aesthetics and intentionally crooked photos to preferred-vendor cliques, DJ choices, and the pressure couples face when planning their big day. Leigh also shares practical advice for couples navigating family dynamics, vendor relationships, and wedding-day expectations.

On the photography side, Leigh offers strong opinions on delivering RAW images, the importance of editing, flash photography, second shooters, drone coverage, venue lighting, and the ongoing Canon versus Sony debate. The episode wraps with memorable wedding horror stories, discussions on AI's impact on photography, and valuable insights for anyone planning a wedding or working in the wedding industry.

The Quiet Shift Ending the Bourbon Boom The script explains how bourbon’s decade-long boom—marked by soaring prices, scarcity, secondary-market flipping, and “hunting” culture fueled by online communities—has begun to shift quietly rather than crash. Once overlooked in the 1980s and 1990s, bourbon surged in the early 2010s as consumers sought authenticity and tradition, turning hard-to-find bottles like Pappy Van Winkle and Weller into status symbols. Distilleries expanded and laid down record barrels assuming demand would keep rising, but aging delays mean today’s market is now facing millions of ready barrels while demand softens. Signs include bottles sitting longer, slower price increases, and declining secondary prices. Changing drinking habits—less collecting, more experiences, and more competition from tequila and ready-to-drink options—point to a reset: improved availability, stabilized prices, and renewed focus on enjoying the whiskey itself.

From Marine Aviator to Podcast Studio Owner: Rich Cardona on Unfilter, Podcasting for Business, and Client Acquisition

Tyler and Chris Kellum host the Whiskey Wisdom Podcast at Unfilter in Wilmington with owner Rich Cardona, a retired Marine helicopter pilot who left Amazon, explored entrepreneurship, and built a podcasting and video business that evolved from remote work into a physical studio designed to make guests “just show up.” Chris shares tasting notes on E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof. Rich discusses enlisting then becoming an officer, early retirement after being grounded from flying due to a seizure, and the challenges of transitioning from military SOPs to civilian leadership. He credits Gary Vaynerchuk as a catalyst for starting interviews and highlights podcasting’s value for relationship-building and content output, but emphasizes realistic expectations and avoiding “podcasting by proxy.” Rich explains positioning podcasts for revenue by interviewing target decision-makers, cites a logistics client closing three deals after six interviews, shares quitting alcohol after a hangover before an interview, and describes Unfilter’s modular set design, rentals, and ideal client fit.

They discuss the concept as a high-end but casual hangout with four quality pool tables, a lounge and TVs, and a cocktail program featuring drinks like the Dirty Cinch, “We Should Start a Podcast,” and “Pony Up,” with seasonal additions. They share hours (4:30 daily; 12:30 weekends), free pool Monday–Tuesday 4:30–6 with two drinks, and closing times (12 weekdays, 1 weekends).

In Tyler Yaw's newest project. He breaks down why Lent is so much more.

Lent as the Original 40-Day Grit Challenge: Leaving the Arena for the Throne

Tyler opens the Applied Faith Podcast by noting that Ash Wednesday marked the start of Lent and challenges listeners not to treat Lent as a watered-down inconvenience or failed resolution. He frames Lent as a 40-day training ground meant to step out of cultural noise, “kill the flesh,” and create space for the spirit, describing fasting as an intentional rebellion against consumerism and instant gratification (endless scrolling, on-demand entertainment, and convenience).

He introduces the “arena and the throne” concept: the gladiator mindset seeks applause in the cultural arena, while the kingdom mindset lives before God as the only true spectator, aligning with Jesus’ teaching to fast in secret. Tyler encourages listeners to use the next 40 days for quiet, disciplined formation and presents his 40-day Kingdom Challenge, built around eight daily disciplines designed to break reliance on the world and anchor participants to the kingdom. He invites listeners to join him, follow along with the daily podcast episodes, subscribe on YouTube, and participate in the community as they pursue resilience and faith leading up to Easter.

Imagine stepping into the world of photography with only a pink Polaroid camera in hand and a heart full of passion. This was the humble beginning of Cassidy and Ben Royall, the dynamic duo behind Royall Media. Join us as we unravel their fascinating journey over a glass of Michter's Straight Rye, discussing how Cassidy's teenage obsession with photography flourished into a thriving business. From the moment they first met, to overcoming business challenges, their story serves as an encouraging call to action for anyone teetering on the brink of starting their own venture.

Of course, it’s not just about business. We delve deep into the challenges the Royall's faced that not only propelled their business growth but fortified their marriage as well. We unearth the surprising dominance of women in the photography business and discuss the value of reinvesting in the business, guiding anyone who’s considering starting their own LLC. But it doesn't end there. We also venture into the creative realm, and the key role of consistency and reputation in small business growth.

As we wind down our conversation, we touch on defining success, creating a legacy and how business goals interweave with personal life. For the Royall's, success denotes more than financial gain. It's about radiating a positive impact on their family culture. Delve into their future plans and how their dedication and passion may just inspire their future offspring. So, refill your glass and enjoy some final words of wisdom served neat with another round of whiskey. Just like the Royall's, we hope our conversation leaves you inspired, invigorated and ready to take on the world.

🎙️ Exciting News! 🎉

I am thrilled to announce the release of our latest podcast episode, filled with insightful conversations and valuable takeaways! In this episode, we dive deep into the topic of personal growth and finding fulfillment in both our personal and professional lives. Here are three key takeaways from this thought-provoking discussion:

1️⃣ Focus on what truly brings you joy: One of the guests on our show shared their experience of being overly stressed and consumed by trying different avenues to achieve success. They realized that it's essential to take a step back, calm down, and prioritize enjoying the journey. By finding something you love and providing value to others, success and fulfillment will naturally follow.

2️⃣ Surround yourself with a supportive network: Our conversation touched upon the importance of having a strong support system. We discussed the value of having a best friend who happens to be a liquor rep (yes, you read that right!). They shared how this friendship opened doors to new opportunities and helped them achieve their dreams. Remember, having a team behind you and attracting a supportive community is crucial for personal and professional growth.

3️⃣ Embrace collaboration and teamwork: We delved into the misconception that success can only be achieved through individualism. Our guests emphasized the significance of building a team and working together towards a common goal. History has shown us that great accomplishments are rarely achieved alone. By focusing on the needs of our community and putting ego aside, we can make a more significant impact and find true purpose.

I encourage you to listen to this episode and gain valuable insights that can inspire personal growth and fulfillment in your own life. Don't forget to share your thoughts and takeaways in the comments below. Let's continue the conversation and support each other on our journey towards success and happiness! 🌟

🎙️📣 Exciting news, everyone! 📣🎙️

We just released a brand new episode of the Whiskey and Wisdom podcast, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer! 🎉🥃

In this episode, we had the pleasure of chatting with a special guest who shared some incredible insights about golf, health, and overall well-being. Here are three major takeaways that you definitely don't want to miss:

1️⃣ Take care of your body: Our guest emphasized the importance of taking proactive steps to maintain and improve your physical health. As we age, it's crucial to prioritize our bodies and not let "father time" take advantage of us. From metabolic health to overall wellness strategies, there's so much we can do to stay in top shape and feel our best both on and off the golf course.

2️⃣ Pain is not normal: One of the most eye-opening discussions in this episode revolved around the misconception that pain is a natural part of aging. Our guest, a professional and doctor, debunked this myth and highlighted that while pain may be common, it is not normal. We should never settle for just "dealing with it" or accepting pain as an inevitable consequence of getting older. There are solutions and treatments available that can help us live pain-free lives.

3️⃣ Expert advice for golfers: For all the avid golfers out there, this episode is a goldmine of tips and tricks to enhance your game. Our guest, who has a passion for working with golfers, shared valuable insights and strategies to help you reach new heights in your golfing journey. Whether you're a professional or just enjoy the occasional round of golf, these tips will undoubtedly take your game to the next level.

But wait, there's more! 📚📺

If you're craving even more valuable information, fear not! We've got you covered. The show notes for this episode will be available on our website and social media posts. You'll find all the necessary links to follow our guest on social media, visit their website, and dive deeper into the fascinating world of golf and wellness.

So, my friends, grab your favorite drink, settle in, and get ready to be inspired and informed by this incredible episode. Trust me, you won't want to miss it! 🎧🌟

Mackenzie began training with another functional medicine practitioner in town in 2019 and treated many patients at Trinity Wellness Center until early 2023. Currently, she is receiving continuing education from the School of Applied Functional Medicine (SAFM), which teaches healthcare professionals to get to the root cause of lifestyle-driven disease through a patient centered, systems biology approach. She has completed the initial SAFM certificate, which teaches clinicians to more effectively integrate science, research, and clinical insights to treat and prevent disease and maintain health. She is also a member of the Neil Nathan's Functional Mentorship and regularly attends continuing education conferences.

“Studying functional medicine has opened up a new world to me. I look at disease differently, and my “toolbox” to treat disease continues to grow. It is truly an honor to study medicine and all the complementary therapies that may enhance the lives of my patients.”

Finally, each batch is triple filtered, giving the vodka a smooth, clean finish and making the “alcohol bite” nearly vanish. This has earned Blue Shark Vodka the clever nickname, “The shark that doesn’t bite.”

This week's whiskey: Buffalo Trace
Made from the finest corn, rye and barley malt, this whiskey ages in new oak barrels for years in century old warehouses until the peak of maturity. The taste is rich and complex, with hints of vanilla, toffee and candied fruit. The smooth finish lingers on the palate. This will never change.

Medium amber in color, with gentle spiciness and sweet oak aromas. Mid-palate is smooth with tones of maple, oak, and nutmeg. Finish is long, dry, and satiny with a light toffee flavor.
