Real Deal With Ron Sivak

This episode of Lagniappe's Real Deal podcast juxtaposes a new business, pushing the idea of promoting pitchers of craft beer in a competitive marketplace, alongside college kids pitching new business ideas craftily within a competitive "shark-tank" style event to be held in November. In the first segment, we interview entrepreneur Keith Sherrill to understand his passion to start a local brewpub, called Haint Blue Brewery, within a city he's called home for a little over a year. A 14-year Army veteran, Sherrill initially became enamored with the concept of concocting craft beer while stationed in Seattle, Washington and apprenticed under an independent brewery master in Colorado for guidance. Check out Haint Blue Brewery's wefunder.com campaign. In our second story, studio producer Johnny G. stages a subtle coup d'�tat, assuming Ron's host duties to interview the University of South Alabama's Thomas Nelson Ph.D., director of student competition within the Melton Center for Entrepreneurship and Innova
