episode 158: How To Cherish the Individual Things That We Have with Lauren Mote, Bittered Sling
If you add together the story of winning the Diageo World Class Competition in Canada, then of launching one successful company, and finally, of becoming the first Diageo World Class Global Cocktailian, you’ve just combined a few of the many ingredients that make up our guest today.
I’m Susan Schwartz, your drinking companion, and this is, Lush Life Podcast, every week we are inspired to live life one cocktail at a time by everyone in this industry.
Before Lauren Mote had become the Diageo Reserve & World Class Global Cocktailian and co-founder of Bittered Sling, she asked herself this question “How do I blend food and a real job together?” The path to that answer led her straight into the world of culinary creation.
Over the next two episodes, we’ll follow her journey to discover how her cherished experiences encouraged her to succeed.
