Dushan Zaric from Employees Only and Macao Trading Company
Hey hey Movers and Shakers, it's your host April Wachtel, and I’m pleased to present to you a most unusual episode of Movers and Shakers.
If you’re a regular listener and are familiar with our standard format- this isn’t that.
In today’s episode I interviewed an old friend and the cocktail mastermind behind world-famous New York bars Employees Only and Macao Trading Co- Dushan Zaric. Dushan is widely recognized as an industry leader and a pioneer in craft bartending; his innovative work behind the bar has revolutionized the art of the cocktail.
Dushan and I hadn’t spoken in about a decade and what started as the pre-interview ended up being the actual interview. For anyone who knows Dushan, it will not surprise you that he broke the format of my podcast, and we love him for it. Without further ado, please enjoy my interview with Dushan Zaric.
In the podcast today we discuss:
What we’ve both been up to for the last decade
Dushan’s new Youtube show, 4am Chicken Soup
Dushan’s perspective on avoiding burnout and rediscovering the privilege of being of service to others
And so much more. It was amazing catching up with Dushan after so many years. Please enjoy my interview with Dushan Zaric.
