On this episode of In Between Sips, Ryan sits down with Dominic Bartola, Entrepreneur among many other things, and co-founder of Uncommon Spirits for a conversation that hits way harder than what’s in the glass.

Dominic opens up about growing up in Ohio born with no hearing, learning resilience through sports, and the role his father played in pushing him into uncomfortable rooms that shaped his confidence. He shares the decision to get cochlear implants later in life and what it meant to truly hear his daughter sing for the first time.

From hustling through college at The Ohio State University, to being pulled into the future of AI tech before it was mainstream, to landing in Phoenix after a marathon trip that changed everything, Dominic’s story is packed with defining moments. The episode also dives into his work in nonprofit fundraising, his leadership in AI and startups, and the unexpected rabbit hole that led him into the whiskey world which eventually led to building a spirits brand rooted in craft, community, and charity.

Pour a glass! This one’s about resilience, reinvention, and building a life that serves more than just yourself.

Together, they explore what it really means to take risks, listen for God’s voice, and build something meaningful whether that’s a business, a church, or a life.

Equal parts reflective, humorous, and deeply real, this conversation is about more than success. It’s about calling, sacrifice, and doing the work in between sips.
