This was a great interview that I had with Tobin while I was in Vegas before the pandemic disseminated the industry, I have a few interviews that I had to go back on and discuss the new norm with the interviewees which give a unique perspective on the state of change that the industry has undergone. In the secondary interview, Tobin goes into his new efforts, Hospitality Relief Dashboard. 

I get to chat about the way I see the industry going with Brad Bodnarchuk on his podcast, Half a Dozen Hospitality. I loved this episode, it was a great back and forth between Brad and I as we are fellow consultants and see how the industry and our clients have handled this stage of the pandemic.  Join us every Tuesday & Friday as award winning industry stalwart, Shawn Soole interviews some of the hospitality industries top talents from around the world including bartenders, venue owners, distillers and industry supporters.
