Tune in to hear this thoughtful, next generation journalist share his insights on:
How digital, especially e-commerce, has been so pivotal to the drinks scene during the pandemic.
How he is staying on top of New York while re-embracing his native Texas and why people should view him as a bridge between the two.
Why he is enthusiastic about celebrating the reopenings of bars and restaurants and sees pandemic-honed skills, like at-home bartending, persisting into the future.
How Twitter, Instagram and now Clubhouse are the social platforms he uses for his journalistic research.
Why story pitches that incorporate inclusivity resonate strongly with him.
Dan also answers a listener question from Shelagh D’Arcy-Hinds of Cliffton Dry, a new sparkling wine, who asks about the proper protocols for sending product samples.
