During my time at Toastmasters, I realized the immense popularity and demand for more "Table Topics" at our weekly meetings. These were short prompts that speakers had 1-3 minutes to answer as best they could. They had no preparation and everyone would have fun.
​
Someone one day mentioned, "This would be such fun if we were drinking" and I thought. Why don't we do this at bars and breweries? There's one on every corner in Boston and my gut was telling me there were more people out there that would find this enjoyable. And so, a friend of mine and I started Better Banter.
We believe many people have the desire to network, grow stronger connections, and be a good public speaker. This can be for something as simple as making friends, giving a great toast or even furthering your career. Except, there’s no real way to “practice” these situations that feel authentic. We need a fun, competitive environment where people can connect with one another.

From there I became the founding salesman and began selling to Divison 1 colleges across the nation including top programs such as Iowa and Syracuse University. All the while I worked closely with the original founder to create sales materials, quotes, and contracts by hand. Together we attended national conferences networking amongst collegiate coaches and entrepreneurs across the country.
