When in Moldova I visited Taproom 27 - a craft beer bar - and the Smokehouse in the centre of Chișinău and talked with David Smith about his innovative way of challenging corruption through business.

We discussed how corruption manifests itself in Moldova, how his bar and restaurant have defended themselves and what kept Dave going through the darkest moments.

See below for Dave's favourite:

Place: The Moldovan countryside

Piece of music: Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together) by Queen

Book: East of Eden by John Steinbeck
