Podcast appearances and mentions of Johnnie Walker

Fingers boozeletter author Dave Infante joins the Brewbound Podcast to deep dive Diageo's ongoing restructuring and workforce slashing under CEO Sir Dave Lewis (aka "Drastic Dave" for his reputation for making big cuts at previous stops).    Infante shares insights from his reporting and conversations with Diageo employees, many of whom wondered why the Guinness and Johnnie Walker maker was so slow to adapt to the modern bev-alc competitive landscape.   "The frustration that I heard from current and former Diageo employees was mostly about why weren't we doing this before we had to start laying everyone off," Infante tells Brewbound editor Justin Kendall and managing editor Jessica Infante (no relation).    "You don't have to get to this point before you start pivoting to RTDs."   The trio also hit recent headlines, including Garage Beer and Liquid Death tapping into the real world animosity around data centers and BuzzBallz's recent Pop-Tarts partnership.   Jessica offered a theory on the BuzzBallz-Pop-Tarts team up: "Kids aren't eating Pop-Tarts. You know who's eating Pop-Tarts? Sad, elder millennials who can't afford anything else and want a tiny treat. The moms who would be out marching on the capitol up in arms against this aren't feeding that to their kids."   "They're the ones who are intrigued by the BuzzBallz Pop-Tarts that they saw on Instagram," Dave adds.   "That's definitely going into their Stanley tumblers," Jess says.

Before the interview, listener Nick tells an insane angel-dust story involving a police checkpoint, the Seven Dwarfs, friends slapping each other unconscious, urinating in a fish tank—and later, shitting his pants while driving a taxi before immediately returning to work. Then Brian opens up about growing up gay in Mississippi, being groomed and sexually assaulted at 15, coming out to his deeply religious mother and turning to cocaine and crystal meth. His addiction eventually leads to homelessness, chemsex, predatory dealers, being filmed while high, a sex sling, IV meth use and a terrifying seven-day psychosis that ends with him restrained in a hospital. Brian explains the complicated relationship between sex, technology and meth addiction—and why returning to a healthy sex life can be one of the hardest parts of recovery. He also describes the unlikely moment involving Taco Bell, Johnnie Walker and a bottle of wine when he finally realized he was a drug addict and asked for help. Years later, Brian returned to the same hospital where he had once been restrained—this time as a treatment professional helping others. He also discusses finding recovery in Narcotics Anonymous and transforming his experiences into the short film Wrath Mercy.

Diageo, the company that owns Guinness, Smirnoff, Johnnie Walker and more than 200 drinks brands worldwide, has announced a major reset after a tough couple of years in which its profits have fallen and its share price has struggled. British businessman Sir Dave Lewis has been brought in to steer a turnaround, including a $1bn savings plan over the next three years. Known as "Drastic Dave" for cost-cutting at other companies, can he revive growth as more consumers drink less alcohol or switch from global brands to local ones?Presenters: Will Bain and Rahul Tandon Producer: Gideon Long(Picture: People drink Guinness at The Devonshire pub in Soho, London.

He ran creative for the world's biggest advertising group. Then his own recommendation to the board cost him the job, and he sold every share he owned the same week.In this episode, John O'Keeffe explains how he took WPP from a "creative desert" to seven straight years as Creative Holding Company of the Decade, why recommending Mark Read to succeed Martin Sorrell as CEO turned out to be his biggest mistake, and what happened when Read undercut him in front of the entire company. He also makes the case for why AI can execute a creative idea at any scale but cannot originate one, using Compare the Market's meerkat campaign as proof, and reflects on the campaigns he's most proud of, including Keep Walking for Johnnie Walker and an Audi ad voted best in the world.You will learn why creative leaders sometimes cost themselves their own jobs through the people they vouch for, what AI can and cannot do in marketing right now, and why standing for a specific idea beats chasing every trend.Send us Fan Mail Is your strategy still right in 2026?

Forget the rules. According to Tim D. Philips, Global Brand Ambassador for Johnnie Walker, whisky isn't about how you're supposed to drink it—it's about how you enjoy it. In this interview, he explains why experimentation beats tradition, reveals the classic whisky cocktails people get wrong most often, and shares why the future of whisky belongs to curiosity, not convention.Líbí se Vám tento díl?

The Magician's Elephant teaches us that even the impossible can be possible when we open our eyes and hearts to those around us. Baltese is a town where nothing extraordinary ever happens. Recovering from a recent war, it's a lonely place, where young Peter lives a harsh life. Then one day, a magician conjures an elephant from the sky. The creature's appearance sets off a chain of events so remarkable, so impossible, that it changes Baltese forever. As Peter is catapulted into the quest of his life, he discovers a magical bond with the majestic creature and risks everything not only to find his sister, but to set the elephant free.Nancy Harris (Book and lyrics) is an award-winning playwright from Dublin whose work has been produced in Dublin, London, and New York.

How Bompas & Parr built a creative agency that stands out.In this interview, Ekaterina sits down Sam Bompass. Nearly 20 years ago, Sam Bompas quit his job in property PR to make jelly. Since then, as co-founder of Bompas & Parr, Sam has cooked on molten lava, built a breathable cloud of gin and tonic, and founded the British Museum of Food. His studio works with governments, global brands like Coca-Cola, Johnnie Walker, and Mercedes, and major cultural institutions including the V&A, the Design Museum, and The Met. In a recent conversation with Future London Academy, he shared his remarkable hard-won wisdom about creativity, leadership, and what it really takes to build something lasting.What you'll learn► How to turn a creative experiment into a scalable experiential agency► Why systemising ideas strengthens creativity rather than limiting it► How to pitch bold concepts while protecting budgets, feasibility, and client trust► What it takes to lead multidisciplinary teams across food, design, strategy, and making► How to use history and culture as a source of commercially powerful innovation► Why AI will not replace human creativity, and what founders should focus on instead

This week on Whiskey@Work, the guys pour a few glasses and wander through the story behind one of the most recognizable names in Scotch. The conversation starts with the surprisingly scrappy origins of Johnnie Walker, a grocery store kid who blended tea before blending whisky, and the clever ideas that turned his family brand into a global icon.Then things get interesting on the tasting table. Matt D'Hont from Johnson Brothers and Diageo stops by with a lineup that sparks plenty of reactions. The crew explores the brand-new Johnnie Walker Black Cask, a bourbon-barrel take on a classic blend designed to welcome bourbon drinkers into the Scotch world.From there, the night drifts into smoky territory with Lagavulin 11, a sweet-peat Islay that surprises even the skeptics. A Caribbean rum-finished Crown Royal sneaks into the lineup, and the episode wraps with an unexpected palate cleanser that nobody saw coming.Stories, history, a few strong opinions, and several pours later, one thing becomes clear. The best part of whiskey often happens around the conversation that comes with it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today marks International Women's Day, and it's just a happy coincidence that we have two women who make great whiskies on this week's show. Dr. Emma Walker is the master blender for Johnnie Walker, while Angela D'Orazio is the Creative Director of Whiskymaking for Compass Box. Both have new whiskies out, and we'll hear from both of them on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Sazerac is looking at expanding in Kentucky with a distillery in default, and the Canadian boycott of American whiskies is a year old and having major impacts on whiskey makers in the U.S.

Send a textInteresting things about the distillery:take their name from the Gaelic for “Black Rock.”The main Speyside part of Johnnie WalkerHelen Cummings and her husband, John, started the distillery in 1824The distillery was sited high up on Mannoch Hill, above the River Spey, due to the peat softening the water.Helen was the distiller. Since the distillery was on the top of the hill, she could see the authorities coming.  She would put flour on herself to say she was baking to cover the smell, offered them tea, and put up a flag to warn other distillers in the area.In 1885, they moved the distillery to grow and sold the old distillery to the Grant family; it is now where Glenfiddich began.In 1893, sold to Johnnie Walker and Sons, but continued to be run by the Cummings family.Joined Distillers Company in 1925, which was bought by Guinness in 1986, and became Diageo in 1997.Our Bottle: Pipe Pairings: Prince AlbertCocktails:Research Sourceshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardhu_distillery https://www.malts.com/en-us/cardhu Support the showWebsite:www.whiskeychaserspod.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/whiskeychaserspodcastInsta:https://www.instagram.com/whiskeychaserspodcast/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@whiskeychaserspodcastThanks For Listening!

Send us a textA new talk show format! Join our conversation as we discuss various Camino topics to help in planning your first walk or to reminisce about your own pilgrim experiences. We open with on‑the‑ground news from Santiago: fierce winter storms, a rare snowfall, and a temporary closure at Santiago's airport that will reroute some spring arrivals. We separate fact from rumor around a potential papal visit, and even share a peek at a Netflix production setting up a medieval market near the cathedral. Context matters—understanding timing, transport, and crowds helps you walk with more ease and fewer surprises.From there, we dive into the questions every pilgrim wrestles with. Should you book ahead or keep your plans loose? Our panel compares stress levels, seasonal crowds, budget realities, and friendship dynamics, then offers a hybrid approach that preserves spontaneity while safeguarding rest. We also unpack the solo question with honest care: why walking alone can be empowering, how to set clear boundaries when a friend asks to join, and practical safety moves like checking in at cafes, choosing more populated routes, and carrying simple tools that boost confidence.We also say the quiet part out loud: bio breaks and trail etiquette. Hydrate smart, use cafe bathrooms respectfully, carry out your toilet paper, and skip foot care at the table. You'll learn the kit that prevents blisters—toe socks, midday sock changes, and walking your own pace—and the micro‑habits that keep you injury‑free when the crowd moves faster than your body wants. And because a Camino isn't just kilometers, we celebrate small delights: a cold stream that resets swollen feet, a shady tree nap that restores patience, or a dawn birdwatch with Merlin that opens a new window into Spain's landscape.We close with ways to give back, from hospitalero training and albergue service to local food pantries and trail cleanups. Whether you're mapping your first steps or returning for your sixth route, this conversation offers grounded advice, real‑world examples, and the gentle nudge to make choices that match your season of life. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a pilgrim friend, and leave a quick review—what's your top Camino tip for new walkers?Support the showBecome a supporter of The Camino Cafe Podcast:

Most companies don't have a lead problem, they have a follow-up problem. In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Jason Kramer, Founder & CEO at Cultivize, who breaks down how smart CRM strategy can transform “maybe someday” prospects into real revenue. Jason shares how his team helps manufacturing, roofing, finance, and home service businesses design, implement, and actually use CRM systems like HubSpot and Pipedrive so salespeople stop dropping the ball. With real-world case studies, including a roofing company that turned old quotes into seven-figure sales, Jason shows what's possible when technology, strategy, and authentic follow-up finally line up. Key Takeaways: → Why most growing businesses don't really know which marketing efforts are working, and how a properly set up CRM changes that. → The three simple criteria that define an ideal client for a CRM overhaul and why company size and sales team count matter. → The common problem shared by manufacturing, roofing, finance, and home service companies is that they send hundreds of proposals a year. → A behind-the-scenes case study of a roofing company that revived ignored quotes with a thoughtful, automated follow-up sequence. → How to design automated emails that feel genuine and personal, not robotic or canned, while still running on autopilot. Jason Kramer is the founder of Cultivize, a consulting firm that builds smart CRM strategies for business consultants and growth advisors. With over 20 years in marketing and business development, he helps experts transform their lead management systems into scalable growth engines. His process integrates CRM automation with email nurturing to create trackable, ROI-focused results for B2B and consulting clients. Jason's background includes work with global giants like Virgin Atlantic and Johnnie Walker, but today his focus is on supporting strategic advisors and fractional leaders who need visibility into what's working—and what's not—in their sales process. When he's not helping clients streamline their revenue systems, he's on the Hudson River with his family.

Ever wondered why your CRM system isn't delivering the results you expected? In this conversation with Jason Kramer, founder and CEO of Cultivize, Cam and Otis explore the often-overlooked human element of customer relationship management."Software does not solve any problem at all," Jason explains, cutting through the tech hype. "It's the people that are understanding how to use the software." This refreshing perspective sets the tone for a conversation that dives deep into the real challenges businesses face when trying to connect marketing efforts with sales results.From unpacking the difference between "first touch" and "last touch" attribution (a critical distinction when measuring marketing effectiveness) to explaining why most businesses struggle with lead nurturing, Jason offers practical insights drawn from his 20+ years of experience working with brands like Virgin Atlantic Airways and Johnnie Walker.What makes this episode particularly valuable is Jason's approach to CRM implementation. Rather than forcing businesses to change their processes to fit a system, he emphasizes understanding their current workflow first: "We're not trying to change the way you do things and make you do something different. We're just trying to improve what you're doing." Whether you're struggling with marketing attribution, sales-marketing alignment, or simply want to get more value from your CRM investment, this conversation offers a refreshingly human-centered approach to technology.More About Jason:Jason Kramer is the founder and CEO of Cultivize, a consulting firm specializing in lead nurturing strategies and “Done for you” custom CRM implementation.

50 years ago today - in 1975 - 90% of women in Iceland took part in a nationwide protest over inequality. Instead of going to the office, doing housework or childcare, 25,000 women took to the streets, forcing factories and banks to close. It was known as the 'Women's Day Off' and fifty years on, Iceland still leads the world in gender parity, topping the Global Gender Gap Report for the 16th straight year. Anita Rani is joined by Tatjana Latinović, President of Icelandic Women's Rights Association and on the organising committee of today's strike, and Kristín Ástgeirsdottir, former Women's Alliance MP and former director of the Icelandic Centre for Gender Equality.

In 1984, Anna took off on the Space Shuttle Discovery, leaving behind her 14-month-old daughter. Anna joins Anita to talk about how that decision triggered intense media scrutiny and looks back on her trailblazing career, as featured in a new BBC 2 documentary, ‘Once Upon a Time in Space.'Stephanie Travers is a trailblazer with an impressive list of firsts during her career. She became the first black female trackside fluid engineer in Formula 1 after beating 7,000 other applicants.

Join us for a comparative tasting of Johnnie Walker Black from two different eras — one bottled in the late 1980s and the other fresh from the shelf. We delve into the fascinating history of Johnnie Walker, established in 1820 by grocer John Walker, now the world's highest-selling Scotch whisky blend, produced by Diageo with malt whiskies from notable distilleries like Clynelish, Cardhu, Glenkinchie, and Caol Ila.Johnnie Walker Black Tasting Details: • 1980s Bottling: 43% ABV • Modern Bottling: 40% ABV, $39.99 MSRPTune in as we share detailed tasting notes, including the modern expression's deep golden color, sweet vanilla and creamy toffee palate, and smoky peat finish.

Pour yourself a glass of Eagle Rare and join us for a fascinating dive into the invisible technology that's changing the whiskey world forever. Counterfeit whiskey has plagued collectors and enthusiasts for years – empty bottles refilled with cheap spirits, fake seals carefully applied, and unsuspecting buyers paying thousands for fraudulent products. Now, Buffalo Trace, Johnnie Walker, and other premium distillers are fighting back with tiny but powerful NFC chips embedded in their most valuable bottles.We explore exactly how these authentication systems work, from the wires that run through bottle seals to detect opening, to the specialized apps that instantly verify legitimacy. Nathan demonstrates how his Buffalo Trace Antique Collection bottle connects to their proprietary app, confirming both authenticity and sealed status with a simple smartphone tap. While this technology adds just pennies to production costs, it provides invaluable peace of mind to collectors investing in bottles worth hundreds or thousands of dollars.But the implications stretch far beyond your whiskey cabinet. From NFC-embedded fingernails to high-end sneaker authentication, this technology is transforming how we verify everything valuable in our lives. Our discussion ventures into thought-provoking territory as we debate whether implantable NFC chips might someday replace keys, IDs, and credit cards – and whether convenience will ultimately trump privacy concerns. Nathan even reveals how he's used specialized equipment to clone NFC signals, raising important security questions about our increasingly digital identities.Whether you're a whiskey enthusiast concerned about authenticity or simply curious about how technology is reshaping our physical world, this episode offers a perfect blend of practical knowledge and forward-thinking conversation.

We had a great private weekend class, with good and generous friends. We came home with a large bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label, and some 12 year Redbreast.  We talk about long range shooting, wind calling, knifes and knife sharpening... and more. :)

My guest this week is someone whose career path may not be linear, but it's been anything but boring.  Jason Chebib started out in some of London's top ad agencies, including Ogilvy, Publicis, J. Walter Thompson, and BBDO, where he worked alongside CMOs and future CMOs at brands like Shell, Unilever, Dyson, Mars, and Ford. Then came a pivot—from creating campaigns to teaching the science behind them. Jason traveled the world, training the next generation of marketers in what actually works when it comes to growing brands. Eventually, he jumped back into the deep end—this time client-side at Diageo. First in Amsterdam, working on global strategy for Johnnie Walker, and then in New York as Head of Planning for Diageo North America, where he shaped the future of brands like Smirnoff, Baileys, Guinness, and Captain Morgan. Now fully rooted in the U.S., Jason has worn many hats—from advising agencies to serving as Committee Chair of Agency Relations at the ANA and Co-Chair of the Marketing Society in New York. He brings the kind of perspective that only comes from being deep in the trenches: agency, client, strategy, research, and education. And while he's not one to chase titles, let's just say his next chapter is wide open—and any brand would be lucky to have him. I am proud to call him my friend, my confidant, my mentor: Jason Chebib. 

Deep below the Johnnie Walker Princes Street experience in Edinburgh lies Dr. Emma Walker's personal playground. The Johnnie Walker master blender curates around 500 of the more than 10 million casks of maturing whisky in Diageo's inventory in the Vault. If you have the means, she'll create a bespoke blend that takes your personal likes and dislikes into account. It's a long way from the council estate where she grew up, and she'll share her journey on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, U.S. whiskey exports fell during 2024 in what was otherwise a record year for American-made spirits. Suntory's CEO has a warning for the Trump Administration, and we'll have a fish story from Buffalo Trace.
