Welcome back to another episode of the Stickmen Podcast!

Today, I had the opportunity to sit down with Brian T., the owner of Acere Lounge, and we got to talking about all things cigars, whiskey, and business.

Brian shares what it was like to open a business right before COVID hit and how he’s managed to stay afloat and keep business running throughout the pandemic. We go through the process of opening his lounge and what challenges he’s faced along the way.

We discuss his background as an entrepreneur and how he’s incorporated the lessons he’s learned in his career to succeed in a competitive market. And finally, we cover the culture and community he’s been able to cultivate on this journey because, as we know, the stick has a beautiful way of bringing people together regardless of their backgrounds.

Find a moment to take it easy and join us for this sip and puff conversation!
