Season 5 of A Curious Yogi is here.I'm so happy to begin this season with a solo episode exploring an essential teaching from my teacher, Swamiji, who encouraged everyone to learn and memorize these seven verses from the Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 2, verses 19–25). He described them as containing the essence of the entire scripture.In this episode, I share some of Swamiji's reflections and commentary, attempt to sing the Sanskrit verses myself (eek), and explore ways we can read, contemplate, and meditate on this timeless text as modern seekers.Some key themes from the conversation:The Gita is not simply a literal story about war or battle, but an exploration of the inner conflict between the individual self and the wisdom of the Higher Self.Gita means “song” — these teachings were meant to be sung, recited, and absorbed deeply.The teachings point us toward deathlessness: the reminder that we are not merely the body or identity we take ourselves to be.Perspective matters deeply — reading the Gita through Krishna's consciousness offers something very different from reading solely through Arjuna's confusion.If this episode gives you even a small glimpse into the depth and beauty of the Gita, I'd love for you to join me this June for an 18-week reading, study, and meditation group: 18 chapters in 18 weeks.All sessions will be recorded, so there's no pressure to attend live every time. And Patreon members receive 50% off the full offering.More than anything, I'm excited to explore this mystical and practical scripture intentionally with the curious yogi sangha.In oneness, Bobbi Thanks for listening!

Why This Episode MattersPaul Clarke explains why Imbibe has lasted 20 years by staying consumer-focused, independent, and credible.It's also a great look at how cocktail culture changed over two decades, from teaching people the basics of a proper sour to telling deeper stories about the people and ideas shaping what we drink now.Mark Pascal and Francis Schott connect that editorial philosophy to hospitality itself: lead with quality, tell the truth, and earn trust over time.Along the way, the episode covers Negroni Week, the Imbibe 75, independent publishing, cocktail storytelling, and why bitterness eventually wins people over.The BanterMark and Francis open with a riff on awards-season humility, noting that in restaurant life, humility usually comes from service failures and hard-earned recovery—though they're not above enjoying a medal when one comes their way.The ConversationPaul Clarke, executive editor of Imbibe Magazine, talks about building a drinks publication that serves both curious consumers and serious professionals without losing clarity, rigor, or pleasure. He explains how the magazine explores “liquid culture,” with attention to the people, places, and ideas behind what ends up in the glass.The discussion also traces the rise of modern cocktail culture through the lens of the Negroni and its many descendants, while highlighting Imbibe's role in shaping conversation through projects like Negroni Week and the Imbibe 75. It's a smart, funny exchange about editorial standards, independence, and why good drinks writing should be as engaging as the drinks themselves.Timestamps00:00 – Banter: what “humbling” really means in the restaurant business05:00 – Why Imbibe works: consumer-first, not trade-first11:00 – Trust, credibility, and the line between editorial and advertising16:00 – 20 years of cocktail culture: from basics to “liquid culture”20:00 – Good writing is a big factor in Imbibe's success24:15 – How independence key to Imbibe's survival28:00 – How Negroni Week began and why it became global34:00 – The resurgence of the Boulavardier40:00 – The Imbibe 75 and the people changing how the world drinksBioPaul Clarke is the executive editor of Imbibe Magazine, an independent drinks publication celebrating 20 years in 2026.

This episode features Nicky Heckles, Vice President of Global Marketing for Smirnoff (Diageo). Dive deep into the Smirnoff marketing strategy that's fueling its success and discover how this iconic brand is dominating the Ready-to-Drink (RTD) market and authentically connecting with connecting with Gen Z consumers of legal drinking age (LDA). The episode reveals the playbook behind the viral success of the Smirnoff Ice campaign, a masterclass in self-aware humor and Gen Z LDA authenticity. * Beyond Impressions: Heckles shares the secret to measuring genuine impact and consumer resonance, moving beyond surface-level vanity metrics like impressions. The key is analyzing metrics related to brand advocacy, affinity, and acquisition, which demonstrate a deeper connection than just view counts. * The Unpretentious Voice: Discover the surprising Gen Z LDA trend Smirnoff is intentionally not chasing to maintain its unpretentious, real voice. Research shows Gen Z LDA craves authenticity and relatability, rejecting "overly polished perfection." Smirnoff leans into its own history of playful, self-deprecating humor (e.g., "We're called Ice but we're a liquid. We don't get it either.") to stand out. The Ready-to-Drink (RTD) market is the fastest-growing alcohol subcategory. Learn how Smirnoff differentiates itself from the flood of hard seltzers and spirit-based cocktails. * Unmet Consumer Need: Smirnoff's RTD portfolio addresses the critical consumer need for convenient, accessible, and reliably fun drinks for casual, social occasions. It positions itself as the unpretentious, easy choice, focusing on impulse purchases in the convenience channel. * Innovation Opportunity: The biggest opportunity for innovation in the next 12-18 months lies not just in flavor(which remains the most influential factor) but significantly in format and packaging (like the strategic shift from bottles to cans for impulse buys) and diversifying ABV options to cater to different occasions. Smirnoff's challenge is leveraging its "OG" vodka and RTD heritage while staying fresh for new drinkers. * Engaging Millennials: The brand strategically taps into nostalgia by referencing its long-standing playful tone and heritage (it's been around for over a century). The 25th birthday campaign for Smirnoff Ice is an example of celebrating its past while setting up a new era. * For Gen Z LDAconsumers, the brand focuses on cultural relevance, inclusive messaging (such as its "We Do We" platform), and humor/meme culture to ensure the brand remains dynamic, fresh, and aspirational. * The 'Glocal' Playbook Example: Heckles shares an example of a successful local activation, such as the Smirnoff Stage at Electric Picnic in Ireland. This activation was focused on radical inclusivity and accessibility, featuring wheelchair-accessible viewing decks, sign language interpreters, and Braille menus. The lesson for other distinct global markets is that while the creative message (the "G") can be consistent, the execution and cultural resonance(the "local") must focus on a universal value, like inclusion and community, to drive advocacy and market share gains. * Holiday Shift: The single biggest shift in consumer behavior Smirnoff is anticipating this holiday season is the continued prioritization of at-home consumption and gatherings focused on collective joy. The marketing strategy, from packaging to placement, is being adapted to capture impulse buys in the convenience channel and showcase the versatility of Smirnoff products for effortless cocktail creation at home. Gen Z LDA expects brands to champion a clear purpose. * Core Social/Cultural Purpose: Beyond responsible drinking, the core cultural purpose Smirnoff is championing is collective joy and inclusion (e.g., the "We Do We" platform). This purpose directly influences marketing by making Smirnoff the sponsor of inclusive events and influences product development to create options for diverse consumption occasions. This episode is essential listening for marketing executives, brand strategists, and anyone interested in how a legacy alcohol brand achieves cultural relevance, drives innovation, and secures its place in the future of the RTD market.

I've grown to admire historians like Catherine Merridale. You know, those historians who buck academic conventions to write for a non-academic audience. This was quite a change for me since I used to hold such work in contempt (or was it jealousy) when I was a snot-nosed, snobby grad student. So I jumped at the chance to interview Merridale and talk about the historical craft and its relationship to detective fiction in her first novel, Moscow Underground. As she explains, there's some liberation in fiction. You can freely develop characters. Imbibe the story with emotions, the sites, the sounds, the smells. And craft a compelling and entertaining story. But creative license has its limits. Historical fiction requires you to stick to the historical record. You have to make sure the history you set your story in is believable, as Merridale does, in her crafting of Moscow of 1934. What challenges does writing fiction present to a professional historian? How does fiction and history intersect? And why a novel at all, let alone a detective novel? The Eurasian Knot spoke to Catherine Merridale about her hero, Anton Markovich Belkin, an investigator for the Procuracy, and the murder investigation that takes him into Moscow's two undergrounds–the metro and the underbelly of crime, poverty, and politics in her first novel, Moscow Underground. Guest:Catherine Merridale is an acclaimed historian of Russia and the Soviet Union. Her work includes pioneering oral history as well as archival research on topics as varied as death, the Kremlin, and Lenin's train ride of 1917. With Russia now off-limits for political reasons, she now turns to fiction. Moscow Underground is her first novel, set primarily in 1934.Send us your sounds! PatreonKnotty News Hosted on Acast.

What started as a happy accident — cocktail classes in Austin, Texas, and a story pitch at her local newspaper — turned into a decade-plus career exploring drinks, design, and the culture surrounding them.Emma shares how she transitioned from multimedia work at a paper into drinks journalism, eventually becoming digital editor at Imbibe magazine before striking out on her own to focus on spirits, cocktails, and book projects. Along the way, she became a trusted collaborator for some of the biggest names in bartending, including Julia Momose (The Way of the Cocktail), Toby Maloney (The Bartender's Manifesto), and Jim Meehan (The Bartender's Pantry).In this conversation we cover:Emma's unconventional path into the industry — from design writing to drinks journalism.The cocktail classes and first visit to Tales of the Cocktail that sparked her passion.Lessons from seven years at Imbibe and how that shaped her perspective on drinks writing.Moving into co-authoring books with leading bartenders and how her role flexes from writer to editor to project manager.Behind the scenes of The Bartender's Manifesto and the challenge of translating Toby Maloney's teaching into a book format.Why The Bartender's Pantry feels like a pattern interrupt in cocktail publishing — with its focus on ingredients, culture, and ethics.Emma's philosophy on what makes a book worth writing (and worth reading) in an industry full of recipe collections.Advice for bartenders and operators thinking about writing a book — from finding your niche to doing the research, and the realities of time, money, and motivation.Her favourite drinks books that continue to inspire her writing and thinking.What styles of cocktail books she's ready to see less of.Emma also talks honestly about the craft of writing — how she bridges the gap between a bartender's knowledge and what readers actually need — and why books in this space are best viewed as a service to the community.

Teaser:I've been having a lot of conversations with APs and other leaders recently and one of the common themes is how overwhelming the work is right now and how hard it can be to invest in self-care. Mara and I discussed some self-care strategies a couple weeks ago in episode 271. One thing we did not talk about is how to unplug from the day so your time away form work is… well, time away from work. We are going to get technical and discuss specific strategies and habits you can adopt to increase the likelihood that you can leave your work behind. There are a couple caveats to this: For many of you, there are job responsibilities you have in the evening (subs and buses) – and we will look at how to work from home in the healthiest way possible next week. The other caveat is these techniques are helpful but they are not a panacea. We'll touch a bit more on that as we dive into the show.Sponsor Spot 1:I'd like to thank Kaleidoscope Adventures for sponsoring today's show.

If you keep working the way you are now, and your self-care habits remain the same, what word(s) pop into your head?If you were out for three months, what would happen at work?A leading cause of fatigue and burnout is the inability to leave your work at work. If you want to be successful - as a leader and a person/family member/friend - you must figure out how to leave your work behind.

When you close the journal, close your mind. Also, do your journaling in a personal notebook you take home with you, not on a work-owned computer. When the issue intrudes on your thoughts at home, acknowledge and let it go.Identify the three most important priorities for the next day and time block them on your calendar.Transitioning to homeBe intentional about what you do with the trip home.You can use this as reflection time or professional learning (podcasts), but that undermines your transition. It is better to listen to professional podcasts on the way to work (that's why we release at 6 am instead of 3 pm) and listen to music or something that grounds you in your non-professional life on your way home.Entering Home ModeAs soon as you get home, change into casual non-work clothesCreate a specific routine to signal yourself that you are home, such as:Spend time checking in with a loved one (including pets)Imbibe your favorite food or beverage and do something relaxingExercise (consider stopping at a park to walk on your way home – even for five minutes.
