When Miguel of Holy City Handcraft traded his software engineer's life for the spirited world of content creation, little did he know the intoxicating journey that awaited him. From the warmth of his grandmothers' kitchens in the Philippines to the charming backdrop of Charleston, we, Stephanie Barrow and Darius Kelly, are thrilled to bring you an episode that shakes and stirs a mix of entrepreneurship, content evolution, and the art of the perfect cocktail.

Step into the digital renaissance of culinary and cocktail content with us as we explore the seismic shifts in social media storytelling—the pivot from polished Instagram posts to TikTok's candid charm. Miguel opens up about the creative process, including the technical symphony of lighting and font choices, that goes into crafting the delectable aesthetics of his drink recipes.

Finally, don your apron and raise your glass to the alchemy of mixology where Miguel divulges his secrets to aging cocktails to perfection and the Boulevardier that stole his heart. This episode isn't just a peek behind the bar but an enlightening look at the rigor and rewards of freelance content creation.
