In this episode of **The Industry Podcast**, we sit down with **Nicole White**, a bartender currently working at OPA, a Greek and Mediterranean restaurant in Waterville, Maine. Nicole traces her path through the hospitality industry — from her first job at Panera Bread and serving at Ruby Tuesday, to learning the craft behind the bar at The Speakeasy in Waterville, to becoming a full-time bartender in Newburyport, Massachusetts. Nicole's career eventually took her to San Diego, where she spent six years working at spots including Urban North Park (a New Haven-style pizza bar) and the now-closed Magic Dinner Theater in the Gaslamp Quarter, a speakeasy-style venue accessed through an escape room, known for elaborate, intentional cocktails like the smoked "Smoking Elephant" and a Manhattan served through a bullet-pierced glass. She also worked at a comedy club, giving her a unique window into hospitality under very different crowd dynamics. A pivotal early moment in her career was attending Gaz Regan's Cocktails in the Country in Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York, in 2016 — a four-day intensive she credits with shaping her approach to mindful, service-first bartending. The conversation also covers Nicole's deep involvement with **Camp Runamok** (Lush Life Production), where she's participated three times — first in the low-ABV Pathfinder cabin during her sobriety journey, then running the Suze-themed cabin, and most recently joining the beverage team, which included an R&D trip to the Monin facility in Nevada and a seven-day stretch making over 10,000 cocktails for 150 bartenders at camp. Nicole also discusses: - Moving back to Central Maine after her mother's stroke, and rebuilding her career and creative outlet from the ground up - Her certifications, including the ABCs of Canadian Whiskey and the Executive Bourbon Steward program through the Stave & Thief Society - Attending Behind the Barrel distillery experiences at Wilderness Trail and Wild Turkey - Her honest reflection on her relationship with alcohol and sobriety, and how that shaped the direction of her career - Her favorite bars and restaurants across Maine (Portland, Bangor, Rockport) and San Diego (North Park, Little Italy, Gaslamp) - Why she loves doing thoughtful riffs on classic cocktails as a way to make craft drinks approachable to guests ## Connect with Nicole White - Instagram / all platforms: @NicoleXTayl0r A big thank you to Jean-Marc Dykes of Imbiblia.

Athletic shoe company New Balance is well known for its U.S.-based manufacturing footprint, so when it announced in 2024 that it would be closing its plant in Norridgewock, Maine, many local officials were surprised.At the time, New Balance leaders said they'd be shifting work from Norridgewock to another Maine plant – in nearby Skowhegan. The Skowhegan plant, which opened in 2025, was intended to serve as its “Central Maine” operation and support the production that was previously taking place under two roofs. Because of the proximity, New Balance said it would transfer all 230 Norridgewock workers to the new facility.The biggest impact, then, was to the community of Norridgewock – a small town whose service sector relied heavily on the plant's workforce for economic activity. However, in a move that may “make it up” to the community, New Balance later made the offer to donate its factory to the town.According to the Bangor Daily News, a Skowhegan-based food company called Maine Grains is interested in the former shoe factory site as a production facility for grain-based bars, cereal and other products.If the town's residents agree to what's been proposed among the companies, then New Balance would give the town the factory – at which point, Norridgewock would segment out 50,000 square feet to transfer to Maine Grains for its production expansion.The other two-thirds of the 170,000 square foot site could be leveraged at the town's discretion, and local officials say their ownership would open up a lot of new avenues for redevelopment. As icing on the cake, New Balance has offered to pay to maintain the currently vacant plant for the next two years, meaning Norridgewock would have a little time to get some plans in place for how it can be used profitably.The town's board has set a special town meeting for July 20th, where residents can cast ballots on whether the community should be authorized to take the donation – though it doesn't require them to seal the deal.The expansion for Maine Grains would create an estimated 15 jobs in Norridgewock, though some officials are remaining cautious as the scenario plays out. Maine State Sen. and Norridgewock resident Brad Farrin said recently he hopes that “in the fever of trying to move this thing forward” that the town and board “dot our I's and cross our T's.”

Baxie talks with the amazing Jacob Augustine. Jacob is a singer/songwriter from Central Maine has just released a stunningly powerful new record entitled "I Love You Forever". This is a record that reflects the grief, loss, and isolation he felt while serving as the live-in caretaker for him grandmother who passed away after a long battle with Alzheimer's. On top of that, Jacob also felt the loss of his mother sadly died of breast cancer. Jacob talks about the difficult journey he experienced while shouldering such tremendous grief while fighting his own battle mental health battles.

Guns of the future that wasn't/or has yet to come. I think this is great, because yall can dive into the developmental dead ends of the firearms industry. I think this could act as a platform to talk about what yall think was truly a dead end and what may be brought forward into future development.   I took a day to think this over and compiled a list of examples that I think are fitting:   The Dardick (trounds and revolving “cylinder”) Calico (helical magazine) Stuff and Things Mars automatic (desert eagle part 1)   Frommer Stop (my personal favorite)(long recoil handguns) Jo.Lo.Ar and others (single hand chambering firearms) Webley-Fosbury/Mataeba Unica 6 (recoil operated revolvers) Beretta 92 (this is just D.Od bait) Last is a big list with all of the attempts at caseless ammunition: HK G11 Daisy V/L (the only ‘successful' one in my opinion) Volcanic (arguably the second most successful attempt) Gyrojet   Wrap Up: Don't forget to shop Brownells using our affiliate link!

From a 9mm PT 24/7, a Taurus Tracker .44 mag, multiple G2Cs and G3Cs, they all malfunctioned in various ways. The Tracker went out of timing in less than one box of ammo. One G2C had a cracked slide after less than a 1k rounds. I'm glad that a lot of people like Taurus, and I'm not trying to brand shame here. I've just had very bad experiences with Taurus' products. I hope that other customers have a much better experience. My Springfield Armory Emissary 1911, 5”, 9mm. Chamber is way too tight. Also has failures to feed when the slide gets hung up during recoil. Beautiful gun, but it's a love/hate thing going there.    Thank you add always for the great HGR episodes. I look forward to the next episode!   Drink Segment:  Wild Bevy Distilling  Forij Tulsi Rose Gin    Main Topic: Refinished & Suppressed! -New Suppressor on the way -Barrel thread adapters -Good hosts?   Refinishing: -I did the JC Higgins Model 20 12 Gauge  -Winchester Model 94 in .32 Special previously   Wrap Up: Don't forget to shop Brownells using our affiliate link!

I've been looking forward to the next HGR episode…hint hint! I bet both of you are pretty busy.   Here's hoping y'all get some free time for a new episode!   I'm currently on hometime in Commierado. The state of the 2nd isn't good here. Commierado's legislature is again passing more gun control.   I really do wonder if they've ever read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights?    In regards to our previous emails, Ryan, I don't have any updates on Tisas USA, as far as their operations go. I did learn some interesting information about theirs new CEO. Are y'all familiar with Classic Firearms on YouTube? Kaya, formerly of Classic Firearms, is more the CEO of Tisas' new US operations.    I'll keep y'all posted as I find out more information.    As for new additions to my growing armory, I recently picked up an H&K VP9 in 9mm. It came with 11 mags, and a Holosun 507…. for $700.    Weerd, could you please suggest a good recipe for whiskey sours?

Both with and without members present. Evacuation plan, Bunker plan, Medical Emergency plan, Fire plan, etc. Mental preparation: security team members need to give themselves permission to do bad things to bad people. If anyone can't, they should be relegated to a support role. There is no shame in this. Build good mental habits. Primary and secondary members assigned to provide information to Law Enforcement/911 Name and location of incident Physical description of shooter(s) Location of the shooter. Number of shooters, if more than one. Number and type of weapons held by the shooter(s) IE: handgun, shotgun, rifle? Number of potential victims at the location. How many people are present? Identifiable entrances and exits. Are the doors numbered? Law Enforcement Response - what to expect They are not there to treat wounded, they are there to end the threat. The initially responding officers will shout commands and may physically move or restrain people other than the shooters as needed. Once the threat is ended, additional first responders will enter to provide medical care. How to Survive the Incident Run, hide, fight Once they arrive, follow LEO instructions, keep hands visible, avoid quick movements. OODA loop: Observe, Orient, Decide, Act Legal defence: If force was used (up to and including deadly force) protecting members, there's a good chance that person or persons will be taken into custody. The family of the attacker may sue the defenders and victims. After an event: If LEOs haven't arrived, clear the scene Once LEOs arrive, see above Try to avoid disturbing the crime scene within reasonable limits Medical care.

Cooking another whole chicken tonight! -First big snowstorm of the year, the 35 year old Ariens snowblower started up FIRST pull like always!! Sore as hell afterward though. -Got the Home Casino game kit; had a great time playing roulette and blackjack with Sarah & the boys! -Mossberg gets a new contract for US Army M590A1 Shotguns! (This is for Weerd)   Weerd:   Oddball: Guinness Pie   Xander: Winterizing equipment, replaced water heater   Drink Segment: Kirkland Tennessee Whiskey By Tennessee Distilling Company   Main Topic: Glock Gen 6 & Listener Emails!   -Glock Gen 6 Introduced! -Built in beavertail -Different Grip Texture -Slide Serrations deeper -Flared magwell -Redesigned trigger; flat faced with the traditional Glock Safe Action System. -Undercut Triggerguard -Cut for optics   Listener Chuck: Subject: wwi loadout, wwii loadout, whatif alt. history.   World War, round one.  I want to live through this.  If I can't be the guy behind the machine gun, let's see.  Rifle.  BAR's too heavy.  SMLE.  ten rounds trumps five, and can be, with practice, fired fast.  Sights not as good as the Mk IV, but by the time we get to wwii, there are other options.  Hand gun: good old 1911. Subgun -- was the Thompson available yet?  Shotgun:  not expert at all, but a 12 gauge pump with a big bayonet seems like a good thing to have on hand.  Trench Broom.    I think I'd also want a big old Bowie style knife as well.   World War, round two, the rematch.  handgun.  More good options by then, but I think I'll stick with the 1911, this time in A1 configuration.  Rifle, Garand, seeing as I probably couldn't get a Sturmgewehr.    Subgun -- "Grease Gun" .45.  Shotgun -- whatever 12 gauge pump is available, bayonet not needed, as we're not doing trench warfare.  Big Bowie knife again -- too useful, less likely to be used in combat.   Alternate history what if:  What if low residue smokeless powder had been developed and introduced 50 years earlier, in the 1840s instead of the 1890s.  Would we have seen early introduction of auto loading firearms, or would revolvers and manual repeaters continue to dominate into the 20th century?  I suspect "yes, eventually, but not an immediate slamdunk."  It would have made the US Civil War interesting. —--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Listener Russell: Hi gents,  There is one movie where the gun mistakes bother me so badly. It's the movie Standoff staring Laurence Fishburne and Thomas Jane. There is a scene where they discuss the attributes of each other's weapon. Fishburne's character brags about being armed with a 45. The gun is a Beretta 92! Jane's character is armed with a single shot shotgun in 20ga. Which Fishburne's character says isn't very powerful and has no range. Funny… The majority of the movie takes place in a house. Even worse this “20ga” is being loaded with RED shells. This scene ruined the entire movie for me. If they would have left out or changed the dialogue about the guns. Would have been a totally decent enough movie.   Keep the shows coming, Russell   —----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Listener Keith:   Was watching The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Takes place in the Civil War. Lots of metallic cartridge guns. Not even hiding it. Tuco shoots from the bathtub. Not going to do that with black powder. Also, Blondie unloaded Tuco's gun before the showdown. The Army has Gatling guns. I think they were 45/70s.   —-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Listener David:   WW1 Loadout: I figure the best way is to split these over multiple emails. So sorry if that makes for a ton of reading! I am assuming logistics for all the crazy calibers are all solved. My main rifle is an M1917 Enfield, officially the "United States Rifle, cal .30, Model of 1917". Guess the guys got paid by the character to name stuff back then. For a carbine-ish choice, I am picking the Short Magazine fed Lee Enfield Mark 3. That just seems like a super handy gun to have inside cramped trenches. My shotgun is an M1897 trench gun with a sword bayonet. If the buckshot doesn't do the trick, I get spear practice (you know, as a little treat.) The machine gun splits into light and heavy. For light, I am picking the Madsen light machine gun and the Gatling gun gets the nod for heavy work. My pistol choice is nothing fancy, the P08 Luger,     WW2 Loadout: Here is my idea for the WW2 load out.Same as before, magic logistics mean plenty of parts and ammo. My WW2 rifle is the M1941 Johnson rifle. Mainly because the Garand is too heavy for anyone to choose on purpose to schlep around. I am swapping a submachine gun for the carbine. That would be the PPSh-41 because I am achieving peace through overwhelming rate of fire. My shotgun is the Browning Auto 5. It's WW2, why are we racking slides like unwashed peasants? Machine gun again gets split into light and heavy. Light this time is the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle, Heavy duty goes to the venerable M2 Browning because to Hell with you and whatever you are hiding behind! My sidearm choice is the Roth-Steyr M1907. It has more rounds than the 1911 and P38, it gets bonus points for looking weird also!   (We have the rest of your emails David, but we want to save them for a future show when we have more entries!)   —----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Xander– WWII loadout:  USS Nimitz (in honor of December 7) Or: Liberator pistol, Mauser C96 pistol, Mauser Karabiner rifle   Wrap Up: Don't forget to shop Brownells using our affiliate link!
