EPISODE 24
The Debate: Morality, Marketing, and Making Non-Alcoholic Cocktails for Under 21s
Stephanie Rice
Today, Tori has on her first repeat guest, Stephanie Rice from Better Bar, who is one of her favorite people in the space. For those who don’t know Stephanie, first go back and listen to episode 7, but she owns a low and no alcohol event bartending business based in San Francisco and also can travel anywhere. She recently just hosted an event for a high school’s prom, which triggered this episode and what we talk about.
