Send us a textThe spirits industry has fundamentally changed. While brands once viewed bars as non-negotiable, many of today's most successful brands have achieved success through a targeted approach at retail and e-commerce. Yet the on-premise isn't just surviving, it's evolving into a channel where brands need to be more strategic than ever.On this episode of the Park Street Insider Podcast, we explore why understanding cocktail culture remains essential for achieving brand success. With on-premise sales up 4% year-over-year and venue counts rising as we enter the peak holiday season, the bar world continues to serve as the critical channel ground where consumer trends are born, not just observed.Charlotte Voisey, Executive Director at Tales of the Cocktail and former Global Head of Ambassadors at William Grant & Sons, reveals how the most significant shifts in cocktail culture took root and why direct dialogue with bartenders delivers strategic intelligence that shapes smarter brand decisions. Then Overproof's Chief Analytics Officer Ed Dobbles breaks down exactly what's winning in the 2025 on-premise: which cocktails dominate menus, what flavors consumers crave, and why emerging brands have a unique advantage right now.Featured Guests:Charlotte Voisey, Executive Director, Tales of the Cocktail FoundationEd Dobbles, Chief Analytics Officer, OverproofMentioned in this episode:William Grant & SonsOverproofWatch on YouTube: The Evolution of Cocktail Trends in the Last 25 YearsCocktail Trends: How Bar Menus are ChangingWant to stay in the know about new episodes from the podcast?

When Zelda II: The Adventure of Link hit the scene in 1988, it was celebrated as the rightful classic that it is, or at least that's how we remember it. But over time that repuation has gotten sullied, and we're here to fix that! Andre is joined by Gooey of Flashback 64 to talk about why they love Zelda II, including its artwork, story, RPG elements, and many other topics in part one of this two-part series.

Dr. Sebastian Voigt spricht mit Zoë Andreae, CEO von Lecare, über einen Markt, der komplexer tickt als viele andere Unternehmensbereiche: Rechtsabteilungen. Ein Gespräch über Aktenlogik, jahrzehntelange Systemwechsel, Anforderungen an Datenschutz und Souveränität, On-Premise-Renaissance, Cloud-Optionen und die Frage, wie Technologie die Arbeit von Juristen verändert – ohne die Grundlogik des Berufs neu zu erfinden. Zoë schildert, wie Lecare aus einem Softwareunternehmen der 80er entstanden ist, wie sich die Plattform in der zweiten Generation weiterentwickelt hat und weshalb Rechtsabteilungen heute zwischen Effizienz, Regulierung, IT-Legacy und KI-Risiken navigieren müssen. Es geht um Workflows, Fristen, Dokumente, Verträge, Legal Spend, die Zusammenarbeit mit Kanzleien sowie um Preismodelle zwischen Lizenz, Wartung und Subscription. Warum On-Premise plötzlich wieder attraktiv wird, weshalb IT-Abteilungen oft stärker über Preise entscheiden als Juristen und wie Lecare seine Position zwischen Aktenlogik und moderner Plattform gefunden hat – all das hört ihr in dieser Folge. Über den Gast Zoë Andreae ist CEO von Lecare, einem der etabliertesten Anbieter für Software in Rechtsabteilungen. Das Unternehmen wurde in den 80er-Jahren gegründet und gehört zu den Pionieren im deutschen Markt. Zoë führt Lecare seit 2017 in zweiter Generation und hat den Übergang von klassischen Windows-Lösungen zu einer browserbasierten Plattform verantwortet, die heute in großen Unternehmen und öffentlichen Einrichtungen eingesetzt wird.

Get stuck in – Michael Bourgeois, CWT How do standards get written in ways that working water treaters can actually meet? In this conversation, AWT Past President, current Related Trade Organization (RTO) Committee Chair, and Chemco Products Company Operations Manager, Michael Bourgeois CWT, explains how AWT's liaisons collaborate with peer organizations, so guidance reflects field reality—operations, risk, and achievable compliance.  From Field Bags to Board Rooms: Why RTOs Matter  Bourgeois outlines the purpose of AWT's RTO structure: volunteer liaisons track and influence work at groups whose missions overlap with industrial water—CTI, ABMA, ASHRAE, AWWA, ASHE, and others. The aim is simple and practical: make sure member voices are heard so guidance advances health outcomes (e.g., Legionella control) and day-to-day feasibility for service providers and suppliers.  Turning Reaction into Proaction  Historically, the industry learned about new rules after they landed. Bourgeois details how AWT is shifting to co-authoring cooling-water guidelines with CTI and re-engaging ABMA, so boiler-water limits and methods reflect current technologies and operations. The model: clarify shared goals, contribute content expertise, and formalize collaboration so members get usable documents at member pricing.  Concrete Moves: Boiler Water, Healthcare, and More  Examples include AWT's role on ABMA's Boiler Expo steering committee (with a focused water-treatment training block) and early conversations with ASHE on pathogen control in building and healthcare water systems. He describes how liaisons feed updates into a formal committee cadence, so the AWT Board and members see progress—not just headlines.  When working professionals help write the playbook, outcomes improve clients, operators, and public health—and members stop "reacting" to standards they had no hand in shaping.  Listen to the full conversation above.

For almost two decades, Joe Pulizzi was known as the content marketing guy. Then came fiction writing, creator support, and a mix of new projects that left him wondering—what do I really stand for now? This week, Joe shares how a post from Jonathan Mast reshaped his perspective: “If you can't explain how you make people's lives better in 15 seconds or less, you're invisible in today's short attention span economy.” That idea forced Joe to simplify his answer, sharpen his Tilt, and land on a powerful, clear statement of purpose: I help entrepreneurs and creators find meaning, freedom, and wealth. In this episode, you'll learn: Why clarity beats complexity every time How a 15-second message opens the door to deeper conversations The question you need to answer to sharpen your own Tilt Joe also challenges you directly: Can you explain how you make people's lives better—in 15 seconds or less? If this resonates, you'll find more like it in my new book Burn the Playbook.  I'd love your support in spreading the word.

Thanks for joining me for this special industry shop talk episode, where I give you a free, behind-the-scenes look at some of the content I produce specifically for people who work in the spirits and cocktail industry. This time around, you'll get to sit in on a seminar I presented a few weeks ago at the 2025 American Distilling Institute Conference & Trade show in San Antonio, TX. The title of the seminar is: “You've Been Served: On Premise Strategies for a Saturated Market," and it presents a bunch of different looks at things distillers and spirits brands can be doing to create successful partnerships with bars and restaurants.

I just got back from the 4th Annual Content Entrepreneur Expo (CEX) and my notebook is full. In this episode, I share the biggest lessons that every creator needs to hear: Why replies matter more than followers or likes How to craft a clear, powerful premise that makes your audience's eyes light up The surprising ways your community can create content with you Why breaking patterns and pushing boundaries keeps you unforgettable The trap of playing small—and how to step fully into your power Why slowing down may be the smartest move in an AI-driven world How trust platforms are beating search engines at their own game These insights hit me hard, and I think they'll do the same for you.

In this explosive episode of Nephilim Death Squad, David Lee Corbo (The Raven) and Top Lobsta sit down with Premise — a Philly-based gold-certified music producer, writer, and truth seeker. With over 20 years in the industry, Premise exposes the dark spiritual underbelly of the music business: from satanic covens and ritual abuse, to hidden frequency manipulation and AI-driven “Voice of God” technology.The squad dives deep into how the entertainment industry serves as a battleground for powers and principalities, why music is more than just sound, and how ancient Babylonian rituals still echo in today's culture. They also explore the dangers of psychedelics, covert government weapons that mimic schizophrenia, and the role of Christ as the only true safeguard in a fallen world.Whether you're curious about the occult in hip hop, the inversion of spirituality in pop culture, or the reality of modern-day possession and ritual sacrifice, this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about music, power, and the unseen war for human souls.

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: You just invented a completely fake justification for lawless behavior from the president and then appealed to the authority of experts to say that it's completely fake. The reader gains nothing from the effort to reframe completely abnormal behavior as if it were normal, followed by the conclusion that the frame just doesn't fit. The president is shaking down companies for ownership shares. Don't pretend there's some sort of case that this could be something other than what it is.

What happens when three entertainment veterans decide to launch a video-first podcast to grow their AI marketing agency? You get a masterclass in real-time problem-solving that'll make you rethink everything about your content strategy. When Dave Clapper reached out asking for live podcast coaching, I knew we were about to dive deep into the messy, beautiful process of turning natural chemistry into strategic content gold. The Taptico founders—Dave, Nick Tapp, and Tribble Reese—brought their radio backgrounds, reality TV experience, and rebellious energy to the Reinvention Room, and what unfolded was pure coaching magic.This is a live transformation where we tackle everything from naming confusion to audience clarity to the four foundational P's that make or break any show. We dig into why "Dave Learns AI" beats "Taptico Talks" every damn time, how to turn your personality into your competitive advantage, and why being clear trumps being clever when you're trying to build an audience. If you've ever wondered whether to go video-first or how to make your expertise approachable without dumbing it down, this episode is your roadmap.What You'll LearnWhy clarity beats cleverness when naming your podcast and how to remove barriers for your audienceThe four foundational P's: Purpose, Person, Premise, and Promise that anchor every successful showHow to identify your primary, secondary, and tertiary listeners without trying to please everyoneThe psychology behind video-first content and why YouTube is its own beast requiring different strategiesHow to channel your natural chemistry and humor into focused, strategic content that drives business resultsWhy the "everyman" approach works better than positioning yourself as the unreachable expertThe art of strong calls-to-action and why tentative language kills conversionsHow to create lead magnets that actually convert viewers into clientsThe Taptico guys prove that when you combine authentic personality with strategic focus, magic happens. Their willingness to be vulnerable, ask hard questions, and pivot in real-time is exactly what separates successful entrepreneurs from those who stay stuck.

That's why we're doing this... It's also a filtration. These guys would be fun to work with once a week. Do they know what they're doing? Yeah, would they be fun to hang out with? Yeah." - Nick Tapp (17:26)"We're doctors. If we can fix the problems that you know that you have and the pains that you know that you have with little friction and well done and over deliver, call us. If you're not sure you need us, don't call us." - Nick Tapp (35:52)"I think one of our differentiating factors is our personality. And we know what we're doing. We're competent. We're smart. But we also have fun because why would you not enjoy what you're doing?" - Nick Tapp (17:00)"Don't wait one more minute.

It was Summer 1997 and the Sega Saturn was stagnanting in America, which means many great gems slipped through the mainstream cracks. Andre is joined by Andrew Elmore to explore the life and times of Saturn through the eyes of Shining the Holy Ark, the stellar first-person dungeon adventure by Sonic! Software Planning and Camelot Software. In this first part of this two-part discussion, they talk about their love (and inital dislike) of Saturn, the development and release of the game, graphics and presentation, and the changing expectations of RPGs in the 90s.

(SLIGHT SPOILERS FOR THE NEW JURASSIC PARK MOVIE YOU KNOW THE ONE WITH SCARJO IN IT [this episode is about the band Silverchair's album “Young Modern” if you're skipping the rest of this, enjoy]) So, a week or so ago, one of my favorite humans on the planet and I did a date night of sorts that we called “Diner-saur Night”, in that we went and got gravy-covered greasy breakfast food at a cruddy diner and then went and saw “Jurassic Park 7: You're Welcome Chris Pratt Isn't In This One”. We had a lovely time, it's a pretty fun movie but I cannot stop thinking about two tiny nitpicking points of order and how it has plagued my brain ever since. (these are where the small spoilers are happening, I have warned you so many times) Nitpick One: This movie has a beginning text crawl. In this text crawl, the movie establishes that around 30 years have occurred since dinosaurs were brought back. Fine. This text crawl then proceeds to tell the viewers (who are, need I remind you, there to view a film about dinosaurs doing a Ruckus) that in thirty years, people are bored and tired of dinosaurs. Look. Short of “The Dead Speak!!!” or whatever Episode 9 was trying to do, I am generally going to take a text crawl and roll with it–I get it, we're doing world building to give the movie context, sometimes the worlds we're building are nonsensical. But I absolutely CANNOT abide by “30 years later, dinosaurs are lame AF” while sitting in a movie sequel being released literal weeks after the OG film celebrates its 32nd release anniversary. No. Absolutely not. People would be stoked on real dinosaurs much in the same way that people are still stoked on digital dinosaurs. Premise denied, movie. Nitpick Two: Dinosaurs are being genetically modified in this one, much like basically all the rest of ‘em. Especially in these last few, where we are kinda splicing together known dinosaurs with other ones to make superdinos or whatever, at what point do these stop being dinosaurs and just become like…kaijus or Big Chonky Reptilian Monsters Trademark Symbol? How many genetic modifications before a dinosaur isn't a dinosaur? I don't know that I have an answer here, per se. I absolutely have time for the argument that they've technically never been dinosaurs, as the OGs were mixed with frog DNA, thus making it not purely genetically just a dinosaur. I thought about this a lot during certain portions of this movie, mostly because there are a few dinosaurs that are not looking like traditional dinosaurs and are kinda starting to look like Muk, the Pokémon with a dinosaur texture pack thrown over it. Some of these bois in “Jurassic Park 7: Yes All Of The Women Are Wearing Practical Shoes In This One” are looking kinda goopy and not like T-Rexes, and that's a bummer to me, a person who expects this dinosaur film franchise to maintain a level of integrity in regards to its visual language. This might be a me issue. I don't know. In conclusion, Dinosaurs(???) caused a ruckus for 120 minutes on a large screen and that's enough for me. Expectations met. And I got three different forms of carbs covered in gravy. All in all, a good night. (And yes, before you ask, I absolutely could not be bothered to look up what the actual Christian name of this film is, sorryyyyyy.

In part 1 I started discussing the ABC News article “GLP-1s work but when they're stopped, the effects stop too: Expert” We discussed the fact that in order to buy the claims their “expert” makes, you first have to buy the dubious claim that simply existing in a higher-weight body, regardless of actual health status, is a health condition requiring treatment (which I wrote about in detail here and here.) We also learned about Dr. Louis Aronne, the “expert” they are quoting who, prior to taking over a million dollars from the companies that manufacture these drugs, wrote three books over three decades claiming he had the secret to permanent weight loss. Today we're going to talk about the contents of the article. As always I'll indent the quotes from the article, you can skip them and still get the gist of this article.

So, even though it is a little different from what we usually cover on Midnight Local, we decided to dedicate an episode to the show. We talk about how horrific we think it would be to be outside of your consciousness for most of the day, the mythology of Lumen and get into our theories of where the show could be going. Is Ricken a goat? Is everyone in Kier Severed? Is it Helena or Helly R. in the finally scene? We hope there isn't a three year wait to find out.

They share valuable leadership lessons on knowing when to push forward and when to step back, highlight the drawbacks of feedback sandwiches, and emphasize the importance of not writing off people prematurely. They reject traditional premises such as 'operate in isolation,' advocating for a supportive network, and 'give feedback sandwiches,' encouraging honest, inquisitive communication.
