The ability to connect with the producer is such a special thing, and the story is such a big part of the offering and the success.” Hear more from Chris Jack's, President of the Ontario Craft Distillers Association, and owner of @nickel9distillery (link in bio).

“At the end of the day, we all have a role to play in social advocacy. When others ask me what they can do, I say: start small in your direct actions.

People often think that advocacy has to be on a large scale, but it starts with you, your thoughts, and your actions.” Hear more from @suzanne_barr_food, her journey, and how she advocates for change in the hospitality industry.
