In the first episode of 2021's fresh start, we're joined by John Squadrito of Vacationland Distributors. John got his start selling stainless brewing equipment for TigPro (having sold Bissell Brothers about half its current lineup), but transitioned into beer sales for Vacationland  - a "boutique wholesaler" -  about five years ago. Since then, he's helped build "V-Land" from a tiny startup operating out of a storage unit to one of the most respectable craft distributors in New England, with warehouses in both Maine and New Hampshire. We talk about how Vacationland's unprecedented decision to offer fixed-length disto contracts since opening has set them apart and how nine months of COVID looked from through a disto lens. We also dive into the battle of balancing sociability with authenticity in a sales role as well as John's cameos on two of the best labels ever created. Lastly, we finally deliver what you ALL have been waiting for: shoe talk, and plenty of it.    ...................    ................................. Music: "Mountain Climb" by Jake Hill
