Starting off the new season with a Bang. Christopher Cashdollar is a certified awesome guy and great designer, and yes, that it his real name!

Pennsylvania native, and Drexel University's best ever cartoonist, bought his first Power Mac while at Drexel and decided to delve into web design. This gave him the design bug and allowed him get different design jobs and grow as a designer.

Fast forward to this podcast recording and Chris is an accomplished designer and speaker, but his most proud accomplishment and job title is "Dad."

We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate our 100th episode than by sitting down with Tamer Kattan.

Tamer details his professional experience from intern to stand up comic, the trouble with having a name that rhymes with "hammer", and a life that is filled with taking risk, and following your passion.

This is one of our most fun and eclectic podcast to date, and we can't thank you all enough for joining us on this journey thus far.

Thanks again to Tamer for joining us, and be sure to follow him on social.

In this episode, Kirk and Andy sit down with Haylee Jordan and Anthony Bradley, the creative co-founders behind Fabric, a new microdose THC beverage brand that’s part mellow, part mission-driven.

Haylee and Anthony walk us through how Fabric went from concept to cans, the chaos of startup pivots, and why good design can’t be an afterthought — even when the product’s not done yet. From the gold-topped packaging to their public benefit corporation status, Fabric is trying to do things differently, on purpose.

We get into:

• The brand’s unexpected founding story
• What it takes to launch a cannabis beverage in a fast-moving, weirdly regulated space
• Their approach to naming, product design, and mental health advocacy
• Why being “cool” actually matters in CPG branding
• Microdosing vs full-dose THC (and who’s drinking the 10mg cans)
• Lessons from collaborating as design-first co-founders

Whether you’re into brand building, THC beverages, or just want to hear how creatives launch real products, this one’s worth your time.
