Al and Gemini were invited to spend two days at the judging sessions for the 2024 Proof Awards spirits, wine and beverage competition -- where local and national booze buyers sampled hundreds of products to grade, and perhaps purchase for their companies. And, much to Rich's chagrin, they had so much fun they decided to create a gigantic episode featuring some of their favorite conversations. They speak to national (Delta Sky Club, Walmart, Pacifica Hotels) and local (The Palms, Hot Noods, Brezzam Craft Creamery) about what they look for in new spirit offerings, as well as a few celebrities (Aishe Tyler, Neil Geraldo Ian Somerhalder) showing off their brands. Other fun conversations conversations include chats with Vanderpump Rules veteran Peter Madrigal and the creator of the Neat Glass. If you work in the booze biz, or have ever been curious about how new products end up in your local bar, this is the episode for you!

It's another round of listener complaints for Ticked Off Tuesday!! Jared kicks things off with his own frustrations, from being inexplicably hungover after a lackluster night out, to grappling with the existential crisis of being single in his 30s. He even takes on the absurdity of salt distribution at the Delta Sky Club, where the inconvenience of communal pepper mills makes him lose his cool.As Jared reflects on his hangover and laments his wandering thoughts at a bar, he also dives into listener complaints. These include the dreaded "I have a proposition for you" DMs, which Jared hilariously roasts, alongside other trivial annoyances that drive everyone mad! Jared goes on to talk about the nuances of interacting with doormen and how overthinking the small talk can become an everyday struggle. He reflects on his own experiences navigating these interactions, from casual greetings to the awkwardness of not wanting to engage too deeply. Jared humorously details how his building has an ever-present woman in the lobby, whom he jokingly describes as haunting the place.The podcast continues on to listener complaints, including one about a coffee shop confrontation regarding plastic straws. Jared and the listener share their frustrations over performative environmentalism, especially when it's thrust upon people before they've had their morning coffee. The episode touches on the absurdity of small issues being made larger than life, while emphasizing how certain actions like using plastic straws won't save the planet – it's the big corporations to blame, after all!! Jared closes with a sarcastic take on self-improvement, encouraging listeners to stay exactly as they are.Tune in for all this and more, including a shout-out to all of you writing in!

Tech CEOs traveled to Washington, D.C. for a one-of-a-kind closed-door meeting with Senators on the rising regulatory implications of artificial intelligence. One of the lawmakers who organized the session, Sen. Todd Young (R-IN), argues that there is an “appropriate” role for government in determining the future of AI. The death of hope for Generation Z is greatly exaggerated, says NYU Stern School of Business Professor Suzy Welch, breaking out new data from Gallup. She asserts that the young Americans entering the workforce, or about to, are more optimistic than the olds think. Plus, what the looming auto worker strike tells us about the economy and how working Americans feel. The Delta Sky Club just got harder to get past the gatekeeper, and Arby's has the meats!

In this episode we are going to talk about brand loyalty, how it helps you in your travel journeys and even our thoughts on when you should use reward points in your travel vs paying for your hotel or flight directly. If you aren't an experienced traveler you may be tempted to always shop based purely on price or location without giving a second thought about how you get there or where you stay. We'll share some of our stories and perhaps this will help you as you think about your upcoming trips. Don't worry, even if you aren't an avid traveler, we'll include some stories from our trips. So pack your bags and join us as we share our thoughts on brand loyalty and using rewards in your travel. Brand Loyalty Tips: 1. Focus on 1-2 Brands in each Category such Airlines, Hotels, and Rental Cars to earn points and status and the benefits that status offers (such as free checked bags, priority boarding, free upgrades, etc) 2. Choose brands that make the most sense for your geographic location and travel habits. We regularly use Marriott, Delta, National Car Rental but choose the ones that make the most sense for you. 3. If you have to book flights outside of your main brand, try to book with a partner airline of your main brand if those points/miles can be earned/used with your preferred brand. 4. When booking rewards (hotel nights and flights) using points/miles, research and compare the rewards required vs the cash price to decide when to pay for flight or hotel vs when to redeem points for it. All rewards are not created equal. Airline mile redemptions can vary widely depending on the time of day but the cash price may be relatively the same. We've also found when booking a hotel that a 3 star hotel night may "cost" the same more points than a 4 star hotel night when the cash price is widely different. Using those points for the 4 start hotel night is a better use of them. Here's an flight example: Round trip Flight to Europe Atlanta to Lisbon was 120,000 miles through Madrid on the way and Charles de Galle on the way back. Instead I found that I could do the same trip for 70,000 miles by booking a multi city flight Atlanta to Madrid with the return Amsterdam to Atlanta and purchase the Madrid to Lisbon and Lisbon to Amsterdam flight for around $129 saving a lot of miles for another trip Here's a hotel example: One night at a Springhill Suites was 50,000 points or $229 and one night at an Autograph Collection Hotel was also 50,000 points but $389. Using the points at the Autograph Collection Hotel was the better value. 5. Get a credit card that gives you travel rewards and earns you reward points on your everyday purchases. Most of them have a great sign on bonus that will get you to a free flight or hotel nights. Use credit cards wisely and don't spend more than you normally would or pay interest on balances but earn points on your spending rather than using cash or a debit card. Look for one without foreign transaction fees and that provides travel rewards benefits that you will use such as free checked bags, free hotel nights, free airport lounge access. Don't overlook a card that has an annual fee if the benefits that you get from it more than outweigh that annual fee. We like the Delta Skymiles American Express Reserve Card for access to the Delta Sky Club, one domestic companion certificate each calendar year, a free checked bag, priority boarding, and you earn miles through purchases and milestones to redeem for free flights. Here's our referral link for this one. If you apply and are approved for it, we both get a nice bonus. See our affiliate disclaimer here. We like the Chase Sapphire Reserve Visa Card for the Sign on Bonus, Airport Lounge Access where there isn't a Delta Sky Club, the points you earn for purchases that can be redeemed on multiple airlines and through Marriott, and the other benefits such as free Instacart and Lyft Pink memberships. Here's our referral link for this one. If you apply and are approved for it, we both get a nice bonus. We like the Marriott Bonvoy American Express Business Card that gives you a free night, status, and you earn points toward free nights through purchases. Here's our referral link for this one.If you apply and are approved for it, we both get a nice bonus. 6. If you have travel reward points that can be redeemed on with multiple airlines, when redeeming points/miles for flights compare the redemption of those on several airlines that operate that same flight. For example a Delta flight from Atlanta to London may be also operated by a partner such a Virgin Atlantic or Air France. Check the rewards redemption on all the airlines that operate that flight and see which one is the best value. Then transfer those points to your account with that airline and book the flight. There is sometimes a huge difference between the number of reward points/miles required. 7. If a brand you usually use is not available for a trip/destination, see if another brand you need to use status matches your other brand. For example, you usually rent from National and are an Emerald Executive and you need to rent from a place where National is not available but Enterprise is. See if you can match your status to Enterprise or another brand that is available. The same is true for airlines. Research to see who will status match. You may not be using that brand more than once but for that particular trip, it is nice to get your status matched. 8. Always, Always, Always sign up for the travel rewards program with a hotel, rental car, and airline even if you don't use that one all the time. Try to stick to the 1-2 in each category to get the most benefit but if you have to use another, sign up for their program anyway.

Today's episode will feature the role of a Customer Experience Officer. The Customer Experience Officer (CXO) is a fast-growing role in business culture. This person ensures that the company vision and values match with the customer's experience using their product or service. They shape what a company offers to its customers. For example, if I visit an airport lounge such as the Delta Sky Club, the CXO would set standards for the Greeters, Service Staff and Kitchen to ensure I am happy and comfortable during my trip. They make sure the customer is getting the most value.As a salesperson myself, this philosophy is the north star of success so I have been eager to get Thomas Linton on the show. Thomas refers to himself a Customer Zealot and has succeeded developing products and services at banks, consumer packaged goods companies, financial services and healthcare companies. His foundation is strengthened with experience in Sales, Marketing, Engineering, Project Management and applying Six Sigma practices. I'm excited to learn from him today and see what lessons I can apply to strengthen my own sales future and how I service customers.https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomaslinton/

Big thanks to Delta Sky Club for hosting this episode with Damrak Gin. We met up with Tanya from Damrak to discuss cocktails, gin history and trends. Delta Sky Club's complimentary cocktail of the month is a Spanish-Style gin and tonic made with Damrak. The gin recently won silver at Food and Beverage Magazine's PROOF% awards Damrak is light on the juniper with a lot of subtle flavors, predominantly citrus. These characteristics opens it to whole host of cocktails. There are 17 different ingredients that give Damrak Gin its DAM good taste. Some of them they disclose, but some are the Master Distiller’s secret. The main distillate consists of the best quality Curaçao oranges. The distillate of these peels highlights the citrusy character of Damrak Gin; like a triple-sec liqueur without sugars. Valencia oranges give Damrak Gin its sweet and distinctive aroma, while lemons provide the freshness. In every gin, there are juniper berries. Even though they deliberately added little less juniper berries, it is still clearly noticeable in taste and smell. Adding some herbs and spices like angelica root, cinnamon, lavender and star anise results in the unique flavor of Damrak Gin.Recipe: Damrak gin, good tonic (we love Fever Tree), two slices of cucumber, FRESH sprig of rosemary or thyme or even lavender. Toss in a few dried juniper berries and there you have it! This style of gin and tonic is great on a hot day paired with tapas or even on cold day paired with short rib sliders. Tanya loves to pair Damrak with oysters on the half shell or even served as a shooter.Delta Sky Club is an amazing experience and we are very much looking forward to returning to take advantage of ALL the great amenities they have to offer!
