Episode 50: Speed Rack, with Lynnette Marrero & Ivy Mix

In 2011, New York City bartenders Lynnette Marrero and Ivy Mix joined forces to launch Speed Rack(@speed_rack), a women’s bartending competition that would raise funds for charities supporting breast cancer research. For this episode, we talk with the duo about what they’ve learned over the course of more than a decade of producing Speed Rack, the charity beneficiaries they’re proud to support, and the upcoming Season 10 national finals (and Speed Rack Redemption competition) taking place July 24 in New Orleans.
