    Grab your cocktail or cup of tea and strap in for a doozy. Today on the Knowledge Bar we’re talking about how millennials are confronting quarter-life crises at an alarming rate.

  • Bonus Episode - Our Thoughts on the Election
    Nov 12 2024

    Send us a text

    Bonus Episode - 2024 Presidential Election


    Grab a strong one and join us for a BONUS episode to talk about the 2024 Presidential election. By now you obviously know that Donald Trump has bucked historical trends in a number of ways in returning to the White House.


    Let’s just say at the outset, this isn’t meant to be a political podcast. Full disclosure: we’re just 4 guys who like to drink booze and talk about stuff we think is cool.


    But given the gravity of the election results, it would seem inappropriate to NOT at least touch on it. So here, we want to offer some insights and thoughts on how the election turned out and what it means moving forward.
