  • The BOB Goes Dry - w/Patrick Aleshire of Zero Proof Ventures

    The BOB Goes Dry - w/Patrick Aleshire of Zero Proof Ventures
    Jan 9 2026

    We’re kicking off 2026 the right way—Dry January style.

    In the first episode of the year, Ben sits down with Patrick Aleshire, founder of Milwaukee’s first non-alcoholic beverage passport and the man behind Zero Proof Ventures.

    Patrick shares his personal journey of quitting alcohol after 20 years, what surprised him most about going alcohol-free, and how that decision sparked a fast-growing NA passport program now featuring 22 local establishments. From Guinness Zero and Blue Moon NA to mocktails, spirits, and sober-curious culture, this episode dives into the booming NA movement, shifting drinking trends, and why sobriety doesn’t mean boring.

    They also get real about sleep, anxiety, social pressure, Dry January expectations, and why Gen Z is leading the charge toward zero-proof options. If you’re sober curious, cutting back, or just curious what’s next in beverage culture—this one’s for you.

  • Coach G’s 10-Year Hustle: Dogs, Drive, & Mental Health (feat. Gina Lamay)

    Coach G’s 10-Year Hustle: Dogs, Drive, & Mental Health (feat. Gina Lamay)
    Dec 19 2025
    In this episode of Business Over Beer, I sit down with Gina Lamay (Coach G) — the owner of G Dogz out in Denver, Colorado (Central Park neighborhood) — for a conversation that’s equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and straight-up inspiring.

    We talk about her 10-year hustle building G Dogz, how her background in mental health shaped the way she coaches dogs (and supports the humans attached to them), and why “it’s okay to not be okay” isn’t just a phrase — it’s a way of life. Coach G also shares the wild story of breaking her neck early in her business journey… and how community, mindset, and asking for help helped her push through.

    Oh — and yes… she shows up with Spotted Cow. Because Wisconsin finds you no matter where you run. 🧀🍺

    Nov 25 2025

    Tara Tinsley is back for her third appearance on the Business Over Beer Podcast, and this one feels like catching up with an old friend right before Thanksgiving. We dive into everything she’s been up to — from her evolution as a singer and public speaker, to how her faith continues to guide her journey, to her unexpected new adventures in farming down in Texas. 🌾🎶

    We talk food, we talk life, we talk growth… and of course, we laugh our way through the entire episode. This is one of those conversations that reminds you why staying connected with good people matters.

    Follow along, share it with a friend, and have a happy Thanksgiving, folks. 🍂🍻
