A late-night podcast with Bartender Atlas creators Josh Lindley and Jessica Blaine Smith from the 2019 Halifax Tour. I was incredibly fortunate to be their guest on the Halifax Tour (shout out to Beam Suntory Canada for making that possible). As the tour was coming to a close we all sat down over some adult beverages to recap the week.

In this episode, I am joined by Adam Rains. 

Adam is the Head Mixologist at the Golden Tiki in Las Vegas, Beverage Editor at The Las Vegas Food and Beverage Professional, and an all-around good dude. In this episode, we discuss the tremendous industry response to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

I was joined by Cesilia Beruman on my very first Zoom-recorded podcast. Quarantine times call for quarantine measures. Cesilia and I talked about the current pandemic situation and what it's been like for her, the importance of finding your center during this weird time, and much more.

Get to know Gregory Rodriguez. He holds it down as the Lead Creative Bartender at Oak & Ivy in Downtown Las Vegas. Greg is hands-down one of my favorite humans to watch compete in bartending competitions and recently made it to the TOP 50 World Class 2020. I hope you enjoy!

Jessica Pettitt is not your typical diversity speaker. She sat down with me prior to hosting a seminar for the Las Vegas chapter of the United States Bartender's Guild to chat about what she does and why her work matters for those of us in the hospitality industry.
