Join me and Conor Whale and we chat through how he found his way into the world of bartending, hospitality, and eventually, founding his own clear ice & bottled cocktail company.

He chats with me about the struggles of making ends meet in a new business, the time he absolutely destroyed the first round of mojitos he ever made and the point he learnt that if you're in a position of power, you need to stay strong for your team.

It was an absolute pleasure chatting with Conor - thank you for your time!

Welcome to the first ever episode of Overproof.

A podcast where I sit down and talk to people working in the NZ Bar & Beverage industry about what they are doing now, how they got there and the challenges they have faced.

In the first episode I sit down with Andrea Marseglia and discuss how he went from pizza maker, to internationally awarded cocktail bartender & business owner.

We chat through his loves, dislikes, a couple of times he thought he wasn't going to make it through the shift without failing and much more.

I hope you enjoy - there's plenty more to come!
