On the last Industry Night … So if you pay attention to my insta feed you know I have been out an about. And it has been a few weeks of incredible eats but I want to tell you about some new restaurants that are opening up … -LITTLE BLACK BIRD Ashok Bajaj will be opening a new wine bar Little Black Bird, in the space formerly home to the original Bindaas in the Cleavland Park neighborhood next month. Executive Chef Ryan Moore will oversee the wine bar menu for Little Black Bird and feature 100 wines on the wine list. -EL PRESIDENTE Stephen Starr's new endeavor, El Presidente, will be opening at Signal House in Union Market. El Presidente will be an ode to Mexico City and will venture beyond the scope of a typical Mexican restaurant. Each bite is a nod to Mexico's diverse cuisine, and menu options are innovative and many can only be found at this new concept. -THE SQUARE  - Mark your calendars. Phase 1 has opened Spanish street-food hot off the open flame. Polynesian fried chicken, deep sea snapper and libations. Oysters, crab cakes, and strong drinks. Churros and soft serve, sweet and simple. Street food treats inspired by the heritage of The Square visionaries, Chefs Richie Brandenburg and Rubén García. Okay let's get into today's show: So a few months back Corey Landolt was featured as the drink segment on Foodie And The Beast. Corey created the cocktail program for and was named Beverage Director of Kappo — a gorgeous little gem of an omakase restaurant that is a collab between Ari Wilder and Adrian Williams. Now, Corey is the Bar Director for Zeppelin & Kappo Makoto. His knowledge of Japanese spirits and his creativity in cocktails had me thinking a 10 minute convo with this guy is not enough. I needed to have him join me on Industry Night. So here's the 411 - Corey has been making cocktails in Washington DC for over 15 years. He draws on his background as a professional ballet dancer, incorporating precision and perfection in each build. He has skillz but most importantly he has passion — and that passion winds up in every glass Guests Social Media Links: Corey Landolt Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/coreyjlandolt/ Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/corey.landolt https://www.instagram.com/kappodc//https://www.instagram.com/zeppelindc/ Featuring Nycci Nellis https://www.instagram.com/nyccinellis/ https://www.thelistareyouonit.com/ Quotes: "Japanese spirits hold boundless potential and versatility, a world of uncharted possibilities."- Corey Landolt “"In the world of spirits, everyone's taste preferences are unique, and that's what makes it so fascinating."- Corey Landolt Chapters 00:00 - Introduction 05:12 - Sipping in the City: A Casual Hangout 08:27 - From Ballet to Valet: Corey's Unique Journey 11:37 - Exclusive Taste: Japanese Spirits and One Authentic Drink 14:57 - Whiskey Wisdom: The Sweet Preferences of American Drinkers 18:26 - Satsuma Surprise: A Negroni to Remember 21:33 - The Sugar Struggle: Overwhelmed by Sweet Options 23:26 - Mugi Hoca: A Toasted Barley Shochu Adventure 28:52 - Gin Chronicles: London Dry vs. Plymouth 31:23 - Craftsmanship Unveiled: A Unique American-Japanese Whiskey 35:42 - Liquid Magic: Rendering Wagyu Fat into Whiskey 39:02 - Efficiency at Capo: Navigating Cocktail Service 40:02 - Scaling Up: Mixing Cocktails in Larger Containers 45:00 - Conclusion Produced by Heartcast Media http://www.heartcastmedia.com

Join me in this fascinating episode where I sit down with Andrew Braunberg, a true connoisseur and historian of Texas whiskey. Andrew enlightens us about the mind-boggling drinking habits of people in the 1700s and 1800s, as well as the complex mechanics behind distilling top-notch whiskey. We also delve into the role of pharmacists in the whiskey business and how temperance laws and prohibition have shaped society's relationship with this spirited beverage. As if that wasn't enough, Andrew also offers a glimpse into his book "Fires, Floods, Explosions, and Bloodshed: The History of Texas Whiskey". We cover everything from the difference between whiskey, bourbon, rye, and scotch to the medicinal uses of whiskey and how bad distillations were masked. We even touch on the cultural origins of many mixed drinks and how whiskey has intersected with major historical events, including the Civil War.

Stephanie Clarke is a most amazing woman. Her fiery red hair is a hint to her temperament as a speaker, facilitator, author, sacred ceremony hostess, Law of Attraction life coach, and a spiritual leader self-ordained as the Irreverent Reverend. As an Afrikaner wanting to help South Africa heal from its legacy of apartheid, Stephanie founded that country's first multiracial church. She bravely shares that journey in her first book —The Misadventures of an Irreverent Reverend, A Spirited Guide for Rebels and Renegades. Her follow-up — The Sex Goddess, debunking the Mythology of God and Sex, is an autobiographical review of a woman awakening to both her sexual and feminine power. The book brings healing to the divide between sexuality and spirituality, God and flesh, and between human and the divine. Her conversation brings an attitude adjustment to women everywhere.

John Carosella hosts Convergence, a journey into shamanism, science, and mysticism, exploring our beautiful world. Making the mystical accessible to the scientific-minded, and bringing the language of science to the Mystery, John brings provocative, new perspectives to living, learning, healing, and discovery. This month, John is in Spirited Conversation with Marguerite Rigoglioso, scholar, author, and founder of Seven Sisters Mystery School. They talk about getting to know Fear and Dread (Phobos and Diemos) as archetypes, "challenging gods" and psychological states that must be addressed, honored, and understood in order to be effectively embraced. In Exploring Reality, John also shares a deep realization of the power of self-love, and how it works to the advantage of the whole of creation. Not selfish, not narrow, but richly satisfying and rewarding both to the self and to others, self-love is the key to being in the highest service.

Making the mystical accessible to the scientific-minded, and bringing the language of science to the Mystery, John brings provocative, new perspectives to living, learning, healing, and discovery. This month, John is in Spirited Conversation with Charles Randall Paul, founder of the Foundation for Religious Diplomacy and chairman of The World Table. John and Randall discuss Randall's work and perspectives in cultivating conversations between people with fundamentally conflicting views on deeply held, even sacred, beliefs. Not just restricted to religion, this challenge is in our politics, our communities, even in our families and intimate relationships. How does one navigate these challenging waters? Perhaps a new understanding of Love is called for. (Full disclosure: John is also affiliated with The World Table.) John challenges his co-hosts Mildred Lynn McDonald and HiC Luttmers with this very thing - a different definition of love that willingly encourages - even desires - to be influenced by another.

In today's program, John is in Spirited Conversation with Kimberly Walters, a doctoral candidate at the Univeristy of Chicago and faculty member at University of California, Irvine. Kimberly has done ethnographic studies in Southern India, investigating the cultural interplay between sex workers and the NGOs seeking to "rescue" them. The facts on the ground belie easy conclusions, and what seems like freedom might be exploitation of a different kind. In his Reflections segment, John shares his encounter with Fly Medicine - an uncomfortable but ultimately healing journey into powerful and ubiquitous support that we ignore at our own risk, finding within it a tool for addressing old, deep, and stubborn wounds. John is also joined by his co-hosts HiC Luttmers and Mildred Lynn McDonald in a Firefly Willows L*I*V*E! roundtable about games, inspired by Jane McGonigals potent TED talks.

In this month's Spirited Conversation, John speaks with Dawn Clark, speaker, healer, and author of the transformational thriller "The Forbidden Text".  Dawn talks about healing potential and the magic of Spirit using a vocabulary and perspective that come from physics and modern technology, yet blends easily and naturally into the mystical -- perfect for Convergence! John will also share a reflection on the power of the word. Firefly Willows L*I*V*E! Give us a listen...We'll help you find - and shine - your inner light!
