   Noah Sain | Have You Been Drinking Sake Wrong? | In Between Days

   What do you think of when you hear sake? Maybe hot sake at a sushi restaurant or doing a sake bomb with friends. But there’s a lot more to sake than most people realize. In Episode 109 of Talkin’ St. Pete, Ryan Bogden sits down with Noah Sain, sake sommelier, sake educator, and beverage director and general manager at In Between Days. Noah grew up in St. Pete and has worked in bars and restaurants for years. When he started working at In Between Days, he knew almost nothing about sake. He got so interested in it that he traveled to Toronto to get certified and later went to Japan twice to learn more. Ryan and Noah talk about the things most people want to know. Should sake be hot or cold? Should you sip it or take it like a shot? Why do some bottles taste so different? And can sake really taste good with pizza, cheese, and pasta? They also talk about something bigger: why sake is meant to be shared. In Japan, pouring sake for someone else is part of the experience. You share a drink, eat together, talk, and enjoy the people around you. That same feeling is a big part of In Between Days, a small and unique spot in St. Pete where people come for sake, food, music, and a good night with friends. Noah also shares what it was like growing up in St. Pete and watching the city change over the years. If the only sake you know is hot sake or a sake bomb, this episode might make you want to try it a completely different way. ▶️ Watch Episode 109 of Talkin’ St. Pete with Noah Sain of In Between Days. 👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for more conversations with the people building and shaping St. Pete. ➜ Follow Sake with Noah on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sakewithnoah/ (https://www.instagram.com/sakewithnoah/) ➜ Follow In Between Days on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/inbetweendays.co/?hl=en (https://www.instagram.com/inbetweendays.co/?hl=en) ➜ Follow Ryan Bogden on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryan.bogden/ (https://www.instagram.com/ryan.bogden/) ➜ Talkin' St. Pete Website: https://www.talkinstpete.com/ (https://www.talkinstpete.com/) ➜ Talkin' St. Pete Podcast Episodes: https://www.talkinstpete.com/blog (https://www.talkinstpete.com/blog) ➜ Subscribe to Talkin’ St. Pete on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBLQaOD7_fKqYL_XzXaDN5Q (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBLQaOD7_fKqYL_XzXaDN5Q) ➜ Interested in being a guest on the show? https://linktr.ee/talkinstpete (https://linktr.ee/talkinstpete) ➜ Ryan Bogden is a licensed REALTOR®. ➜ Sponsored by Bogden Homes: https://www.bogdenhomes.com (https://www.bogdenhomes.com) #talkinstpete #stpetepodcast #stpete #stpetefl #stpetesake

   Dr. Chris Slininger & Garrett Bernier | Who Should Control Your Medical Records? | VitalID

   Where are all of your medical records right now? Think about every doctor you’ve seen, every blood test, scan, injury, or procedure you’ve had. Could you pull all of that up in one place? In Episode 108 of Talkin’ St. Pete, Ryan Bogden sits down with Dr. Chris Slininger and Garrett Bernier, CEO and COO of VitalID, two military veterans building their healthcare startup here in St. Pete. They’re asking a pretty simple question: If it’s your medical history, why isn’t it actually with you? That takes the conversation into patient owned medical records, why Chris believes looking at health trends could help uncover deeper problems, and what happens as AI gets more involved in healthcare. Because we already have more health data than ever. The real question is whether we actually know what to do with it. ▶️ Watch Episode 108 of Talkin’ St. Pete with Dr. Chris Slininger and Garrett Bernier of VitalID. 👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for more conversations with the people building and shaping St. Pete. ➜ Follow VitalID AI on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vitalid.ai/ (https://www.instagram.com/vitalid.ai/) ➜ Follow Garrett Bernier on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gjbernier/ (https://www.instagram.com/gjbernier/) ➜ Follow Dr. Chris Slininger on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drchrisslininger/ (https://www.instagram.com/drchrisslininger/) ➜ Follow Ryan Bogden on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryan.bogden/ (https://www.instagram.com/ryan.bogden/) ➜ Talkin' St. Pete Website: https://www.talkinstpete.com/ (https://www.talkinstpete.com/) ➜ Talkin' St. Pete Podcast Episodes: https://www.talkinstpete.com/blog (https://www.talkinstpete.com/blog) ➜ Subscribe to Talkin’ St. Pete on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBLQaOD7_fKqYL_XzXaDN5Q (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBLQaOD7_fKqYL_XzXaDN5Q) ➜ Interested in being a guest on the show? https://linktr.ee/talkinstpete (https://linktr.ee/talkinstpete) ➜ Ryan Bogden is a licensed REALTOR®. ➜ Sponsored by Bogden Homes: https://www.bogdenhomes.com (https://www.bogdenhomes.com) #talkinstpete #stpete #stpetefl #vitalid #healthcare #healthtech #ai

   Kevin Clavier & Drey Thomas | Is AI Changing Business in St. Pete? | 1BB Owner’s Club

   AI is moving fast, but what happens when it starts doing the work people used to spend hours doing? In Episode 107 of Talkin’ St. Pete, Ryan Bogden sits down with Kevin Clavier and Drey Thomas, co-founders of 1BB Owner’s Club, to talk about AI, entrepreneurship, and what business could look like as technology keeps getting better. For Kevin and Drey, it started with problems they knew firsthand: building a business can get lonely, and creating content can feel like another full-time job. That led them to build 1BB Owner’s Club, bringing entrepreneurs together while using AI to turn podcasts, calls, meetings, emails, and everyday conversations into content. But this conversation goes way beyond content. Ryan, Kevin, and Drey get into AI replacing repetitive work, the future of jobs, why real relationships could become even more valuable, AI assistants, Neuralink, brain implants, and how far all of this could eventually go. If AI gives us more time back, what are we going to do with it? ▶️ Watch Episode 107 with Kevin Clavier and Drey Thomas of 1BB Owner’s Club. 👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for more conversations with the entrepreneurs, business owners, community leaders, and people helping shape St. Petersburg, Florida. ➜ Follow 1BB Owners Club on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/1bbownersclub/ (https://www.instagram.com/1bbownersclub/) ➜ Follow Ryan Bogden on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryan.bogden/ (https://www.instagram.com/ryan.bogden/) ➜ Talkin' St. Pete Website: https://www.talkinstpete.com/ (https://www.talkinstpete.com/) ➜ Talkin' St. Pete Podcast Episodes: https://www.talkinstpete.com/blog (https://www.talkinstpete.com/blog) ➜ Subscribe to Talkin’ St. Pete on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBLQaOD7_fKqYL_XzXaDN5Q (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBLQaOD7_fKqYL_XzXaDN5Q) ➜ Interested in being a guest on the show? https://linktr.ee/talkinstpete (https://linktr.ee/talkinstpete) ➜ Ryan Bogden is a licensed REALTOR®. ➜ Sponsored by Bogden Homes: https://www.bogdenhomes.com (https://www.bogdenhomes.com) #talkinstpete #stpete #stpetelocalpodcast #stpetebusiness #stpetelocal #StPeteCommunity
