Mike & Janell Bass - Beverage Entrepreneurs (Pony Boy Slings) Mike & Janell Bass Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Mike and Janell Bass. Mike & Janell are the creative team behind the new canned cocktail sensation Pony Boy Slings. In this episode, we get to know these two crazy kids. They tell the story of their journey from different parts of the country, to end up meeting in Louisville, Kentucky during, and because of the Covid 19 pandemic. Janell shares some of her backstory as a voiceover actress for video games and tv shows, and an award-winning sales associate; while Mike regales us with tales of bartending, and cocktail creating for various global restaurant & bar companies. Thanks to Covid and some online dating apps, this lovely duo met and fell in love. Naturally I ask how all of this applies to their startup beverage company. Pony Boy Slings was created out of a super cool stroke of luck, and opportunity. I'm not going to spoil the story, but let's just say that there may be an angel involved! Pony Boy Slings are a line of refreshing easy to handle bourbon based carbonated canned cocktails. There are three flavors currently, and they are available all over Kentucky and Tennessee, wherever fine alcoholic beverages are sold. Check them out at DrinkPonyBoy.com and follow them on Instagram & Tik Tok.
