Kali-Kat's Tap Talks Podcast
Kali‑Kat’s Tap Talks goes behind the scenes of real lives, the stories people never tell on stage, on camera or in their highlight reels. Actors, entrepreneurs, brewers, winemakers, professors, attorneys, ESPN broadcasters, TEDx speakers, founders and survivors come here to share the truth they’ve carried for years.
Some stories aren’t meant to be polished.
They’re meant to be felt.
Kali‑Kat’s Tap Talks is a raw, unfiltered storytelling podcast where real people open up about the moments that broke them, shaped them and rebuilt them. Host Kali sits down with guests from every walk of life actors, business owners, brewers, winemakers, startup founders, professors, attorneys, athletes, creators and survivors of trauma to reveal the truth behind their journeys.
These conversations go deeper than success stories.
They explore:
- Childhood wounds and the abuse no one saw
- Weight loss, identity shifts and rebuilding self-worth
- Sexual trauma and the courage to speak it out loud
- Reinvention after failure, betrayal or rock bottom
- The collapse of breweries, wineries and small businesses and the grit it takes to rebuild
- The messy, human, behind‑the‑scenes chapters that shaped who they became
Every episode is a reminder that resilience isn’t pretty it’s powerful.
And when people share the truth of what they’ve lived through, they give others permission to heal too.
If you’re searching for the kind of stories that hit your chest, linger in your mind and make you feel less alone in your own journey, you’ve found your people.
This is where real people tell the real story.
Sip, listen and step into the moments that changed everything.

Climb. Sip. Repeat: How Ryan Built Touchstone Brewing into Sacramento’s Adventure
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
From an idea that started as a joke between friends… to a full-blown brewery built for climbers and community—this story is wild 🔥🍺
In this episode of Kali Kat Tap Talks, I sat down with Ryan, owner and brewer of Touchstone Brewing Company in Sacramento. What began as “hey, we should do something with this space” turned into a hyper-local brewery experience unlike any other.
🧗♂️ Here’s what makes it special:
No big distribution. No beer on store shelves.
Just real people, real stories, and fresh beer made for the climbing community.
Climb at the gym next door.
Grab a pint.
Chat about your latest send.
Trade gear.
Share your next wild idea or plan your next big route.
Eat, laugh, connect.
Ryan built Touchstone not for scale—but for soul. And in doing so, he created a space where climbers gather not just for the beer, but for the culture, connection, and community.
🎧 This is more than a brewery—it’s a hub for people who live life on the edge (literally). You won’t want to miss this one.
