SHIFT CHANGE with Tori McKinley Tori McKinley

Tori and Megan discuss current events and their implications.

After protesting Tuesday, Tori and her friend Megan (both of the restaurant industry) talk about the day. What did we see during the protest and what does it mean to us?

Two people passionate about industry from very different backgrounds talk restaurant life and business.

Shift Change, a podcast born out of quarantine with the intent to highlight restaurant industry struggles has decided to address current events in Atlanta and across the USA. Recently, I was more personally hit by the death of George Floyd. A security guard for a restaurant/bar, it brought the feeling closer to home for me. Made it "one of our own" in my eyes.' I'm fortunate enough to have some powerful industry people who have agreed to share their experiences with me and all of you. So I am asking the same series of questions to bring more voices to what should be a very human struggle and a reminder that "It's not people against people, it's us against the problem."
