Post Shift Podcast #117 - Jim Meehan

Being the 250th episode, it had to be a stalwart in the industry and Jim Meehan is just that. I have looked up to and revered him, not for his cocktails, but his innate ability to create amazing cultures, have epic side hustles and always be striving for a better industry. This is a really good conversation about his start and how it lead him to becoming an award winning mentor, bartender and author.
