Cold Storage Beef
The Confab 07: Zach Herbert
- GUEST - Matt hill
- Host - Max
The term derives from “confidential talk”, which was commonly used in the Prohibition Era for meetings and conversations that took place in the smoky, rule-breaking speakeasies of that time.
The informal, privacy focused and clandestine nature of Ungovernable Misfits lends itself to these discussions. So, grab a seat and a stiff drink from the concealed bar, listen and revel in the conversation.
On this episode, Zach Herbert from Foundation Devices drops-in to speak with Max.
