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 it 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.

Quote by David Sedaris - "Feeling the need to be perfect doesn't make you perfect, it just makes you paralyzed. So let go of that because you're not going to be perfect. And if you're very lucky, you'll learn to be yourself."
