As one behavioral scientist put it, first starts are really powerful.

So as you head into 2023, LifeKit is a great resource to help you plan your life and tackle changes, both big and small.

I'm Guy Razz, and on today's show, how Jim Cook started brewing an old family beer recipe called it Samuel Adams, bottled it up, and then helped kickstart the craft beer movement in America.

At some point last year, the number of breweries in America passed the five thousand mark, and most of those breweries make craft beers, things like IPAs, Porter, Stout, Sloggers, you name it.
