BEERS: Derek Correia took years of experience in high-level Marketing roles at Pizza Hut, Burger King, and Renaissance Cruises and helped grow one of the most revolutionary products the 2000's have seen in the alcohol market.  Derek, the President at ReserveBar, joins the show this week to tell us all about the exciting things happening at the nation's leading e-commerce platform for premium and luxury alcoholic beverages.  Derek tells us about the most impactful experiences he had at his previous stops in Corporate America, his entry to ReserveBar, and his day-to-day running the organization.  He stresses the importance of the "e-commerce everywhere" strategy and enhancing the buyer journey when it comes to the world's most sought-after spirits & liquors. There are exciting things happening at ReserveBar that Derek breaks down for us, including the acquisition of MiniBar Delivery & the development of the content platform Get Stocked.
BUSINESS: Apple made waves this week with its announcement of the new Apple Vision Pro, a VR headset that they are minting their "first 3D camera."  It wowed the audience and social media alike, but its hefty price tag of $3,500 is sure to turn some heads.  Is VR going to ruin human-to-human interaction, or have we gone full-fledged Black Mirror into the next generation?  We also discuss if Apple's entry into the VR world will mean the end of Meta as we know it.
BALLS: Speaking of making waves, golf could be changed forever, too, with the major announcement made this week.  The PGA Tour announced its intentions to merge with the brand-new rebel-child of the sport, LIV Golf, notorious for its association with the Middle East-based PIF and significantly changing the way golf is played. The PGA had been critical of LIV since it formed last year, and now commissioner Jay Monahan is in the hot seat after his hypocritical actions.  Is the sport of golf now in danger after this crucial decision?  We close by breaking down the start of the NBA Finals and the Stanley Cup, and finish with a deep dive into how odd the game of baseball has been this year.
