Danielle Lanza,  Distiller at Philadelphia Distilling: A balanced life! Work isn’t everything, and it is so easy to settle into a grind. Do what you love and enjoy, and share your life with people you love and enjoy. What’s the point of doing anything else?

Benjamin Heflin, Lead Distiller of Ole Smoky Distillery: Depends on the season but always surrounded by friends and loved ones; Whether that's going to a game, checking out a new restaurant/bar, or just relaxing at home.
