Episode 50: Lynnette Marrero and Ivy Mix, Speed Rack 

In 2011, New York City bartenders Lynnette Marrero and Ivy Mix joined forces to launch Speed Rack (@speed_rack). The women’s bartending competition raises 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. They also share 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.
