This week, we are talking business with two young entrepreneurs. Corey Nobile and Nick Oliveri started Impact Snacks to make “everyday snacking sustainable,” but how did they launch a popular brand? We discuss their founding story, their Kickstarter campaign, and their journey of launching a delicious plant-based “superfood snack” with sustainable and environmentally-friendly packaging.

BEERS: Back to Long Live Beerworks we go! Jake reviews “Rude Boy Rude Girl,” which is the latest Long Live creation. Hazy, juicy, and fruity, Jake has nothing but high praises for this IPA. Will dives into Connecticut Valley Brewing Company’s new rollout of fruit beers - are they seltzers or ales? We may never know.

BUSINESS: Holy down! With virtually no positive news coming this week, the S&P had one of its worst days in recent history, with nearly every stock following its lead. Is it too early to liquidate, or should you get out now while you can?

BALLS: Against all odds, the MLB is approaching the finish line of its abbreviated season. Can the Dodgers finish it out in 6 games, or will the Rays live to see another day? Will Rays rookie Randy Arozarena distance himself from other MLB legends in the single-postseason home run record race? We also break down the NFL Week 7 results, and declare our “Contenders and Pretenders.”
