    Episode 126 with Zachary Helsel

    Social media can seem daunting to some people. Where do you start? How often should you post? What kind of posts should you put out there? And what channels do you need to use? To answer these questions (and more), we asked Zachary Helsel if he'd come on the podcast. Zack will be the first to tell you that he's made all the mistakes one can make when building their social media presence. However, he learned from those mistakes, has sought expert advice, and led his whynot_ride motorcycle page to more than 466,000 engaged followers. He also operates his own social media marketing agency, complete with a digital creator community. During this conversation, host David Klemt and Zack talk platforms, strategy, mistakes and myths, the importance of learning the fundamentals, two key acronyms Zack has coined, why he's not afraid to pay for expert advice, the services he provides as a social media marketer, and more. Also, for the riders out there, he's giving away a 2023 Honda Grom and a 2024 CF MOTO Papio. Check out the giveaway on his whynot_ride IG page and Why Not Ride community. Cheers!

    Episode 125 with Alex Woogmaster

    Just weeks after speaking with design legend Roger Thomas we were given the opportunity to speak with Alex Woogmaster. Alex is one of Roger's protégés, and the former creative director for Wynn Resorts. Toward the end of 2019, Alex founded Woogmaster Studio, the design agency for which he is also creative director. Interestingly, Las Vegas wasn't on his radar. In fact, neither was interior design; he was studying architecture initially. On this episode of the Bar Hacks podcast you'll hear about how Alex found himself in Vegas, working for one of the most influential and successful gaming and hospitality brands in the world; the Woogmaster Studio "gentle manifestos"; his approach to interior design; maximizing the relationship between operator and designer; and more.

    Episode 124 with Laura Louise Green

    Psychotherapist, soon-to-be organizational psychologist, and former bartender Laura Louise Green drops by the Bar Hacks podcast to talk about a very important topic: burnout. The hospitality industry has been taking strides to address many of the challenges that affect hospitality professionals' physical, mental, and emotional health. Burnout is one of the many dangerous issues we all face, yet we don't always acknowledge. Among other important conversations we need to have that are long overdue, Green has been taking on burnout head-on. On this episode, she defines burnout, shares symptoms, explains the truth and myths about burnout, offers some ways to heal from it, and much more.

    Episode 123 with Roger Thomas

    Real Las Vegas royalty stopped by the Bar Hacks podcast! That's not hyperbole: Roger Thomas truly changed the face of Las Vegas and how people approaching gaming around the world over his 40-year career. While Roger has made "cameo" appearances on projects for clients here and there, he really worked for a single client, building the Mirage, the Bellagio, and Wynn and Encore resorts and casinos in multiple markets across the globe. During this conversation, Roger shares how he got his start in interior design in hospitality, his approach to luxury design, how he has mentored other designers, some of his favorite design features, his new book Resort Style: Spaces of Celebration, tips for hiring and working with interior designers, why designers flock to Las Vegas, and so much more.

    17 SEPT.

    Episode 122 with Adam Howe

    Let's tech and point-of-sale systems! Adam Howe, solutions engineer at GoTab, popped in to talk to host David Klemt about what the platform can do for operators. GoTab is a feature-rich, operator- and guest-focused POS that, interestingly, can run on basically any operating system. That means that it's very likely an operator looking to switch POS platforms already has hardware that can run GoTab, and that translates to savings. It's the company's transparency, ease of use, and cost-saving measures that convinced KRG Hospitality to choose GoTab as a preferred partner. In this episode, Adam shares GoTab's mission and focus, the time it takes to get their system up and running at a given venue, new features, and much more. Cheers!

Shaw stops by the discuss wallcoverings, wall protection, sustainability, finding and nurturing the careers of designers, her own journey through the worlds of hospitality and commercial design, design trends (some that she'd like see go away), and much more.

    Episode 120 with Ryan Johnson

    When we were given the opportunity to speak with a guest about sake, we jumped at it. Ryan Johnson is the head sommelier at Umu, a Michelin Starred Japanese restaurant in London. He looks after an inventory of more than 140 sakes while also remembering the preferences of guests who expect high-level service. During this conversation Ryan shares how he went from commis sommelier to head sommelier; achieving his kikisake-shi certification; sake service; and myths about sake. Cheers!

    Episode 119 with Matthias Ingelmann

    We're excited to welcome Matthias Ingelmann, bars manager at KOL Mezcaleria in London, back to the Bar Hacks podcast! We first spoke to Matthias on episode 106, mostly about KOL, one of the World's 50 Best Restaurants, and his role as the bars manager. This time, however, we're learning about mezcal. Matthias breaks down styles of mezcal, regions (including the fact that mezcal is made in countries other than Mexico), and producers. He also dispels a number of myths and misconceptions, shares his approach to introducing guests to mezcal (and sotol and raicilla), and suggests food pairings. Of course, there's so much more, so make sure to give this episode a listen. Cheers!
