Movers and Shakers Podcast (2024)

This week’s episode of the moversandshakers podcast is an interview with Dushan Zaric. If you’re a regular listener and are familiar with our standard format- this isn’t that!

Dushan is an old friend and the cocktail mastermind behind world-famous New York bars Only and Trading Co. He is widely recognized as an industry leader and a pioneer in craft bartending; his innovative work behind the bar has revolutionized the art of the cocktail.

Dushan and I hadn’t spoken in about a decade and what started as the pre-interview ended up being the actual interview. For anyone who knows Dushan, it will not surprise you that he broke the format of my podcast, and we love him for it😁

In the podcast today we discuss:
✅What we’ve both been up to for the last decade
✅Dushan’s new Youtube show, 4am Chicken Soup
✅Dushan’s perspective on avoiding burnout and rediscovering the privilege of being of service to others

And so much more. It was amazing catching up with Dushan after so many years. I hope you enjoy!
