BBP 307 - More Than a Brand – Fellowship, Grief, and Craft Beer with Ahmad's Body Shop
This week, the Legendary Brew Crew pull up to the 320 Market Cafe in Media, PA to chop it up with Dante, the founder of Ahmad’s Body Shop (ABS), and his right-hand man/childhood friend, Brandon (affectionately known as "The Bully" or the "No Man"). Spoiler: They aren’t fixing transmissions
Dante breaks down the powerful mission behind the brand—honoring his late cousin Ahmad by creating a space for Black men to navigate grief and find fellowship. We get into the necessity of having a "Bully" in your corner , why "regular" people are actually the most exceptional , and the hidden history behind the addresses on every ABS tee.
In a rare moment for the pod, Dante turns the mic on the hosts, interviewing them about their growth over 300 plus episodes.
