#66 Felice Capasso: What Does It Take To Be The World Class Winner?
Diageo’s World class competition is BY FAR one of the most difficult and impressive cocktail competitions in the world. Legend has it that the finals had no fewer than 7 skill challenges, and Felice swept through them all.
If you make drinks for a living, or enjoy them, this is the man you want to hear from.
Expect to learn
- Why reading the rules carefully gives you an unfair advantage
- How elite competitors reverse engineer judges instead of guessing
- The difference between learning information and building understanding
- Why bringing yourself to the stage matters more than being impressive
- How failure becomes fuel when you stop protecting your ego

I talk mostly to people in and around the service industry space. I'm looking to hear from the people I wish I could have talked to when I was coming up in restaurants. Said another way: I am trying to make sense of this wild, beautiful mess of a life, and help others that are feeling similarly confused and/or lost. Check out the Podcast Website Here and get in touch with me!
