A bit of a rant episode, I feel this is a big thing in the hospitality industry.

Using busy as an excuse for your disorganization has to stop, organize your days, set your calendar and achieve what's needed.  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.
