Is it doomed to failure? I suppose that depends on who you ask, or what articles you have been reading, but I think it’s a complicated answer. This week’s episode is a bit of a rant, fueled by a couple great beers. I open up a can of Frau Gruber Pilsner, and then a can of Fat Head’s Alpha Ambush, and go deep into my thoughts about the current state of the industry.
