Episode 76: In ANY Capacity ft. Jen Thompson of Cashmere & Cocktails
 

It’s officially 2022, and we’re welcoming in the new year with Jen Thompson of Cashmere & Cocktails over *strong* cocktails, because, well… duh. And, because we love a good connection point, this cocktail is called Long Nights, which is a good reminder that, um, long nights sometimes require a strong pour.

No shame.

Jen is a longtime listener of the pod (she says she catfished us into having her on, but we just really like her :) ), and is a food photographer and content creator based in New Brunswick. When she’s not developing rich, indulgent dishes and cocktails, she’s cracking us all up — in fact, she’s responsible for the ~infamous spoon spiel reel~ that still makes us snort.

Is there anything better than someone who is funny as hell AND makes good cocktails? No.

In this ep, we dove in deep to tons of things, as usj. From the coining of the term “freelance fetus” and free product exchange services (eek!) to truly laughable rate offerings and a phase where ~adult toy companies~ kept reaching out to her for reviews — to which Jen said “I make cupcakes…. I specialize in cookies” 😂 — this is genuinely such a fun, hilarious way to start the new year.

You ready?

Pour yourself a strong one, and let’s get this year started on the right foot.
