This week, we're joined by comedian Keysha E for a fun, slightly chaotic, and very honest conversation about dating, attraction, and figuring out what we actually want. From celebrity crush debates to whether chemistry is just a toxic addiction (yes, we said it), we get into the difference between a good partner and a good time.We also talk about pretty privilege in comedy, dating in Atlanta vs. LA, finances in relationships, and why “safe” might not be as boring as it sounds. Plus, we answer a listener question about feeling lost in life and share a CockTales story that involves a FaceTime mishap you absolutely don't want to experience

Queen Nzinga of Ndongo and Matamba is one of the most formidable rulers in African history, and in this episode of Queens Podcast, Katy and Nathan dive into her extraordinary life. In this episode, we explore Nzinga's early life, her tense relationship with her brother, and the political chaos that followed his rule. We also get into her legendary 1622 meeting with the Portuguese governor, where she turned a calculated insult into one of the most iconic power moves in royal history. From there, Nzinga built alliances, commanded armies, and spent decades resisting Portuguese control. We also discuss the more complicated parts of her legacy, including religion, diplomacy, warfare, and the ways European writers tried to shape her story for their own purposes. If you love stories about powerful queens, African history, women rulers, and anti-colonial resistance, this episode is for you.

Want a deliciously sharp lesson in brand growth, category creation and how challenger brands can win by bringing new shoppers into tired categories rather than fighting for share at the bottom shelf? Then dive in to the insight served up in this episode by guest Rob Wallis, co-founder of Moth Drinks, who takes Fiona through how the brand created a new premium space in ready-to-drink cocktails and is driving significant category valueRob explains how Moth spotted a gap in the market for cocktails that tasted as good as what you would make at home, but with the convenience of a can. Most importantly, instead of designing to the existing category price point, Moth built the best liquid first and priced it accordingly.The conversation also explores what founders can learn from Moth's approach to where to play, how to build a strong category story for retail buyers, what premiumisation really looks like in practice, and why a culture of kindness and low ego can be a commercial advantage. Rob also shares how the team is approaching US expansion, why California matters so much in RTD, and how Moth is thinking about AI without losing the human side of the brand.What You'll LearnHow Moth went about creating a premium cocktail proposition - and persuading retail buyers that the market was there!Why challenger brands should build product quality first, then price from thereHow to identify the right channels and occasions to drive brand growthWhat makes a strong category story for grocery buyersWhy culture, consistency and kindness can become commercial advantagesKey Topics DiscussedCreating a top-shelf RTD cocktail brandPremium pricing versus category normsBuilding category value with incremental shoppersUK versus US cocktail cultureChoosing where to play in retail and foodserviceBrand design and standing out on shelfDTC growth and omnichannel strategyBuilding culture in a scaling consumer brandManaging quality with co-manufacturing partnersUsing AI carefully inside a fast-growing CPG businessIf you enjoy this interview, PLEASE share it with a fellow founder, mate or colleague, subscribe or follow the show, and leave a review - it makes a real difference to us at Brand Growth Heroes!============================================================Thanks to Brand Growth Heroes' podcast sponsor - Joelson, the commercial law firm=============================================================If you're a founder, you already know how much of your energy goes into building the perfect product, creating standout branding and connecting with your consumers.But don't forget that scaling a CPG business also comes with a maze of legal complexities that can make or break your business journey.

Happy 2026. This Episode is hosted by Chris Maffeo and brought to you by MAFFEO DRINKS. A Deep-Dive Analysis of This Episode is Available at maffeodrinks.com Celebrate with us our 3rd anniversary with a special 30% off forever at maffeodrinks.com/anniversary  In this second part of the conversation on MAFFEO DRINKS, host Chris Maffeo continues with Hunter Gregory, Bar Manager at Maybe Sammy in Sydney, diving into the delicate balance between technical excellence and guest experience that determines bar success. The discussion explores why bars focusing too heavily on technique without guest experience have closed in recent years, while others with great atmosphere but weak drinks programs also struggle to survive. Hunter introduces the "pie and cherry" philosophy of guest shifts. You can't have the cherry (guest shift excitement) without the pie (consistent bar quality), revealing why some bars create amazing guest shift experiences but disappoint when visited in person. We examine the backbreaking work of scaling cocktail culture person by person, teaching 15 guests about proper espresso martinis who then tell their friends, slowly building educated consumer base over years. The conversation covers bartender education expectations versus consumer reality (they don't care about cocktail history like we don't care about stock market details), menu design strategies that include twisted versions of top 10 classic cocktails people actually order, and the challenge of explaining how to order a martini properly without overwhelming guests. Hunter shares why eight or nine team members designed Maybe Sammy's new menu rather than the bar manager alone, ensuring both technical innovation and guest-focused accessibility. We explore when technique-driven approaches work (Bangkok's Burus with beef broth cocktails for ready demographics) versus when they fail (Sydney's upper-middle-class scene not ready for extreme experimentation), the role of social media in playful consumer education, and why guest shifts succeed when they create curiosity rather than just industry networking. The discussion addresses the frustration of overly technical bartenders explaining entire drink concepts when guests just want a twisted Americano, the importance of brand managers attending guest shifts they sponsor, and understanding that people seek experiences making them feel better rather than cocktail education lectures.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction: Occasions Over Demographics in Cocktail Culture03:15 Journey Through Spirits: Negroni to Boulevard to Whiskey06:40 Maybe Sammy's Clientele: Tested and Fortunate10:25 Balancing Boundary Pushing with Guest Experience14:50 Bangkok's Burus vs Sydney Demographics18:20 Consistency, Persistence & Building Regular Trust22:35 The Technique vs Experience Disconnect26:10 Scaling Cocktail Culture Person by Person29:45 How to Order a Martini: Consumer Education Challenge32:50 Guest Shifts: The Pie and Cherry Philosophy35:30 Wrap up: Creating Curiosity Through Fun and Experience This episode is brought to you by MAFFEO DRINKS, an Advisory helping drinks leaders execute bottom-up growth while managing stakeholder expectations.

She delves into what the unique climate of Texas does to a barrel of bourbon (or rye), what place whiskey occupies in our lives these days, and how she met the partners in her whiskey supergroup in the first place.PLUS, the kids are alright, but the way journalists cover them still sucks.

   After announcers told everyone the USA's win over Mexico Monday night put the Americans into the next round AND manager Mark DeRosa did interviews acknowledging their ticket was punched.... it turns out they were wrong.  Jac Caglianone homers form team Italy as they beat the USA 8-6 and now our Red, White and Blue await the outcome of tonight's Italy v Mexico game to find out if they advance.  How is this possible?    Travis Kelce credits Taylor Swift for his decision to return to the Chiefs for another year.  And it wasn't what she said to him.  This is pretty strong.    A 12 year old girl from Kearney is headed to Augusta National to play on national tv in the Drive, Chip and Putt competition.  An area golf course group wants to help send her by raising money for the costs... you can help by going to www.tiffanygreensgolf.com.    CNN posts a ridiculous account of the NYC jihadist bomb throwers and takes it down.  When will this stop?  A supermodel from the 1980's has lost her $420 million fortune.   A new documentary in theaters is almost exclusively new Elvis footage that was found in a cave in Kansas.  You have to hear this.    A national sports bar chain has come up with a disgusting buffalo wing flavored cocktail.  And we have the best Father/Son birthday story you will hear this year in our Final Final.

Send a textWe celebrate Irish whiskey's roots, its collapse and comeback, and how Ohio became a hotbed for great bottles. We taste and score Bua Imperial Stout Finish, then mix an Irish Mule with maple and a Guinness Old Fashioned topped with vanilla foam.• Irish whiskey heritage from monks to Bushmills • Four core styles and triple distillation explained • Why Ohio's shelves now carry deeper Irish picks • Bua Imperial Stout Finish tasting and scores • Price, drinkability, and value talk • Irish Mule with barrel-aged maple tweak • Guinness Old Fashioned with chocolate bitters and foam • Irish coffee shortcut and bar gear tips • Shoutouts to local events, brands, and rare releasesIrish whiskey has a way of sneaking up on you—soft at first sip, then suddenly full of story. We kick things off by resetting our palates for St. Patrick's season and tracing the spirit's arc from monastic stills to the first license at Old Bushmills, through the hard years of trade restrictions and Prohibition, and into a modern revival that's filling glasses around the world. Along the way, we talk styles—single pot still, single malt, single grain, and blends—why triple distillation matters, and how used wood and clever finishes shape flavor without piling on heat.From there we get local. Ohio's shelves have quietly leveled up, and we shout out bottles that punch above their price, like The Whistler Double Oak, Writers' Tears, and a few “how is this still here?” finds. The centerpiece is our bottle breakdown of Bua Imperial Stout Finish, a Columbus-rooted Irish whiskey guided by seasoned hands. On the nose we find limoncello brightness, light cocoa, and a subtle nuttiness; on the palate, a gentle sugar note and roasted malt from the stout cask; the finish stays tidy and refreshing. We score it, debate body and balance, and talk real-world value—aka the kind of bottle that vanishes at a fantasy draft.Then we head behind the bar for two crowd-pleasers you can master tonight. First up: an Irish Mule with fresh lime, ginger beer, and a dash of barrel-aged maple syrup to round the edges. Next, a Guinness Old Fashioned built with Bua's stout finish, chocolate and Angostura bitters, and a silky Guinness brown-sugar syrup, crowned with a light vanilla foam. It drinks like the best parts of a pour and a pint in one glass. We close with a quick Irish coffee riff and a few gear tips to make your home bar smoother and more fun.Raise a glass with us, explore beyond the usual suspects, and lean into a season made for sharing good bottles and better stories.

What Can a Cocktail Teach Us About Curiosity and Creativity? At first glance, documenting Negronis around the world might sound like a frivolous hobby. But could a simple cocktail become a vehicle for curiosity, experimentation and creative thinking? On this episode, I speaks with geopolitical strategist Marc A Ross about an unusual passion project: ordering and documenting Negronis wherever he travels. What began as a casual habit has evolved into a magazine-style project called 50 Negronis, capturing cocktails from elegant bars to chaotic airport lounges. Along the way, the project has revealed something deeper about travel, culture and the value of experimentation. But as the conversation unfolds, it becomes clear this episode isn't really about cocktails. Instead it's about how curiosity leads to discovery, why creative side projects matter, and how experimentation can enrich both our professional and personal lives. Curiosity Starts With Small ExperimentsMarc's Negroni project began almost accidentally. While travelling frequently for his work as a geopolitical strategist, he started ordering Negronis and photographing them. What made the idea interesting wasn't a search for the perfect drink.Instead, Marc documented the entire experience — the great cocktails, the mediocre ones, and the truly terrible ones. That curiosity created a lens through which to experience the world differently. Bars became places for conversation, experimentation and discovery, and the project grew into a collection of stories from cities across the globe. Creativity Through PlayA key theme of the conversation is the importance of playfulness. Marc deliberately avoids treating the project too seriously. The photos are simple smartphone snapshots, the documentation is intentionally loose, and the goal isn't perfection.That approach mirrors how many creative projects evolve; by removing the pressure to produce something “definitive,” the project becomes an experiment. And in the process, it becomes easier to create, learn and iterate. Authenticity, Communication and Personality We also explore how side projects can sharpen professional skills. Marc argues that communicators, leaders and even politicians should experiment creatively and share aspects of their personality. Authenticity matters. Whether it's documenting cocktails, running unconventional events, or experimenting with new formats, people connect more with ideas that feel genuine. Sometimes the most powerful way to communicate is simply to follow an idea that genuinely interests you.AI-Generated Timestamped Summary00:00 – A cocktail as a conversation starterIntroduction; why Negronis might seem like an unusual topic for a podcast about human behaviour and yet… 02:00 – Recording in Sundance, UtahMarc describes the Brigadoon gathering and its focus on conversation rather than traditional conference formats. 04:00 – The origins of the NegroniMarc explains the history of the cocktail and why it remains a classic drink. 07:00 – The “50 Negronis” projectA disappointing airport Negroni sparks the idea of documenting the drinks Marc encounters while travelling. 10:00 – Capturing cocktails around the worldMarc explains how he photographs the drinks and records the ingredients when possible. 13:00 – Cocktail culture and experimentationThey discuss how bartenders experiment with ingredients and create new variations. 18:00 – Why the details don't matterThe project becomes less about recipes and more about stories, places and experiences. 22:00 – Learning through experimentationChristian reflects on how creative side projects can help people learn and explore new ideas. 30:00 – Lessons for communicators and politiciansMarc explains why authenticity and personality matter in leadership. 37:00 – Staying curious and having funThe conversation turns to persistence, creativity and the value of pursuing ideas simply because they're interesting. 42:00 – Where to follow Marc's workMarc shares details about Brigadoon events and his geopolitical newsletter.

Learn How to Let Consumption Drives Revenue & Turn Content Into Your Most Powerful Sales Engine Consumption drives revenue and in this episode, we pull back the curtain on exactly why the businesses winning right now aren't the ones with the biggest ad budgets, but the ones building audiences that actually engage with their content. We're joined by two powerhouse guests who reveal the three ingredients guaranteed to drive revenue for creators, why the traditional marketing funnel born in the 1800s is officially dead, how AI is leveling the playing field for first-time sellers, and why the most overlooked hiring strategy might just be a Facebook Live stream. Whether you're selling digital products or scaling a service business, this episode will completely change how you think about content, community, and conversion. Justin Smith is the CEO of SamCart.com, where he helps tens of thousands of creators sell smarter, boost conversions, and maximize customer value at every touchpoint. With a background in seed-stage startups and high-growth SaaS companies, Justin has been a zero-to-one product builder, scaled companies to millions in revenue, and contributed to over $100M in capital raised. Ricky Regalado is a serial entrepreneur, visionary, and the driving force behind Rosalotto, a Latino-owned building services company expanding across 20+ states, as well as the founder of the niche hit podcast Cleaning and Cocktails, which now reaches over 2 million impressions per week across 30 countries. Both guests bring rare, real-world insight into what it actually takes to grow beyond seven figures. KEY TAKEAWAYS: The more content your audience consumes, the shorter your sales cycle becomes. Grit, compelling sales copy, and a warm audience are the three non-negotiables for creator success. Being world-class at your craft does not automatically translate into revenue without strong conversion copy. AI tools like ChatGPT helped SamCart jump onboarding conversions from 3% to 16% using AI-generated landing pages. The traditional short-form funnel is dead and today's buyers only operate in impulse purchase or long-term content relationship mode. Google's post-2020 data confirms buyers cycle through exploration and evaluation before committing, making consistent content non-negotiable. A community-driven brand is one of the most powerful and underutilised recruiting strategies available to growing businesses. Celebrating every role in your organisation, not just leadership, directly drives pride, performance, and retention. Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be. In this podcast, we will be discussing top level strategies for both growing and expanding your business beyond seven figures. The show will feature a mix of pure content and expert interviews to present key concepts and fundamental topics in a variety of different formats. We believe that this format will enable our listeners to learn the most from the show, implement more in their businesses, and get real value out of the podcast. Enjoy the show.

Isabella of Angoulême: The Scandalous Queen of England Who Helped Spark a War In this episode of Queens Podcast, Katy and Nathan unpack the chaotic life of Isabella of Angoulême, the controversial Queen of England and wife of King John. Married at just twelve to the 33-year-old king, Isabella's union helped ignite political turmoil between England and France, contributing to the loss of Normandy and the instability that led to the Magna Carta. Chroniclers painted her as a “Jezebel,” blaming her for wars, rebellion, and even witchcraft. After King John's dramatic death in 1216, Isabella returned to France, remarried in scandalous fashion, and continued making waves well into her fifties. Troublemaker or survivor? From child queen to dowager rebel, this is one of medieval England's most misunderstood women.

Inside Cinch: Wilmington's New Billiards Bar with Cocktails, History, and Hands-On Buildout On the Whiskey and Wisdom Podcast, Chris Kellum and Tyler talk with Haley and Joe in a new location, Cinch in downtown Wilmington. Joe and Haley describe opening Cinch on December 5 after signing the lease in June and completing a roughly six-and-a-half-month buildout that transformed the former Christmas shops space, including extensive demolition and discovering historic features like 1960s dress boxes, a hidden salon in the basement, old deposit slips labeled “US Depository,” and brick walls. They discuss the concept as a high-end but casual hangout with four quality pool tables, a lounge and TVs, and a cocktail program featuring drinks like the Dirty Cinch, “We Should Start a Podcast,” and “Pony Up,” with seasonal additions. They share hours (4:30 daily; 12:30 weekends), free pool Monday–Tuesday 4:30–6 with two drinks, and closing times (12 weekdays, 1 weekends). 00:00 Welcome to Cinch 00:15 Meet Haley and Joe 01:10 Opening Date and Buildout 02:02 From Christmas Shop to Vision 03:05 Signature Cocktails Talk 04:50 From Rum Cow to Underfront 07:00 Why a Billiards Bar 09:03 What Cinch Means 11:30 Building History and Basement 13:05 Design Choices and DIY Build 16:24 Downtown History and Hidden Finds 19:05 Hours Specials and Popular Drinks 20:16 Custom Bar Art 20:56 Curated Cocktail Menu 22:32 Classic Cocktails Explained 24:20 Chain Restaurant Nostalgia 26:36 Why Food Quality Dropped 27:32 No Food and Ghost Kitchen 28:51 Selling vs Building Legacy 32:48 Building the Space 35:41 Pool Table Deep Dive 37:53 Wild Sports Tangent 40:38 Make Drinks and Wrap

In this engaging conversation, Tone Munguia delves into his journey through the hospitality industry and his personal transformation after a year of sobriety. Tone shares his initial experiences as a busboy and bartender, highlighting the joy he finds in connecting with people through hospitality. The discussion shifts to the significance of the no and low-proof movement, particularly during events like Tales of the Cocktail, where Tone celebrated his sobriety milestone amidst a vibrant atmosphere. He reflects on how his relationship with alcohol has evolved, emphasizing the importance of creating inclusive spaces for those who choose not to drink, while still enjoying the social aspects of gatherings.Hello, my name is Tone Munguia. I've been bartending for 13 years, and I've recently decided to end my abusive relationship with alcohol. At the time of this podcast, I'm just a little over 18 months sober from alcohol and almost 36 years of age, and I feel as if I'm becoming the best version of myself. The decision to finally rid myself of alcohol wasn't easy, but I know now it's the best decision I've ever made.

What if everything you thought you knew about taste was wrong? Although we like to think flavor lives on the tongue, the truth is far more interesting; more than 80 percent of what we taste is actually smell. That revelation sits at the heart of Dr. Kevin Peterson's groundbreaking book, Cocktail Theory, which is transforming the way bartenders, chefs, and curious drinkers think about their craft. In Part 1 of this series, we explored the foundations of his thinking, but we also left plenty of questions on the table. In this conversation, Kevin is back to tie up those loose ends.

In this tea-fueled edition of DocTales with Cocktails, May and Tim recap the Olympics the way only they can—equal parts hilarious and unfiltered. It starts with Tim's inversion-table disaster (full upside-down bat moment, dizziness, and a temporary switch from cocktails to Red Rose tea), then spirals into why the Olympics make us obsess over sports we barely understand. They unpack athletes using the spotlight for politics, faith, and identity commentary—and why that often backfires when it feels performative instead of authentic. The conversation hits figure skating drama, the U.S. vs Canada hockey storyline (including a broken-teeth victory moment and a heartfelt Johnny Gaudreau tribute), and a real medical deep dive into Lindsay Vonn's devastating leg injury and how modern trauma care likely saved her from amputation. They close with a bigger question about national pride and what's actually worth cheering for, plus a brief update on May's long COVID/MCAS progress and a tease that a deeper health update episode is coming.   GET SOCIAL WITH US!

This week, Scott was joined by Lawfare Managing Editor Tyler McBrien, Lawfare Senior Editor Molly Roberts, and University of Virginia Professor of Law Paul Stephan to talk through the week's big news in national security, including:“Textual Healing.” On Friday, a 6-3 Supreme Court majority brought an end to at least the current iteration of President Trump's controversial tariff policies, ruling that language in the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (or IEEPA) authorizing the “regulation of…importation” doesn't include the authority to impose tariffs. That said, President Trump himself has already indicated that he intends to reinstate many of the tariffs he had installed using IEEPA under other statutory authorities. How big a setback is this for the Trump administration's trade policies? And what might it mean for other aspects of its policy agenda?“Mayhem in Mexico.” Over the weekend, an elite unit of the Mexican army killed one of the country's most powerful drug kingpins, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, also known as “El Mencho.” His syndicate, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, immediately retaliated, through attacks on Mexican security forces, roadblocks throughout the country, and other measures intended to terrorize the public, particularly in areas frequented by American and Western tourists. The decision to move against El Mencho followed an intense pressure campaign by the Trump administration, which has pushed Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to take a hard stand against the cartels. Should this be seen as a win for the Trump administration? Or Sheinbaum? And what could the long-term implications be for the U.S.-Mexico relationship?“Clap if You Believe.” On Tuesday, President Trump delivered his annual State of the Union address, the longest of its kind. Many had braced for a contentious speech, expecting Trump to ridicule the justices seated in front of him and potentially even announce strikes on Iran. But Trump appeared to pull his punches on both of those fronts—he instead saved his harshest words for congressional Democrats and focused on laying out a rose-colored picture of the state of the country. How effective was Trump's speech? And what does it tell us about the current state of his second presidency?In object lessons, Tyler just has this strange sense that you will enjoy the Otherworld podcast. Molly (and her dog) find comfort in the soft, squishy claws of Cthulhu. Scott eased his travel woes with a twist on the Vieux Carre at Birch & Bloom in Charlottesville. And Paul mixed his object lesson with three parts: Peter Suderman's Cocktails if you're into all things shaken and stirred; Mark Galeotti's podcast, In Moscow's Shadow, if you're into all things Russia-related; and Dan Wang's New York Times Best Seller book, “Breakneck,” if you're into all things China-related.
