About
In this new episode, we get to know Joshua Gandee, a bartender and creative who has been working in and around the restaurant industry for over a decade. In 2017, Joshua made the decision to quit drinking and has since been promoting a non-alcoholic culture in his city of Ohio and beyond whether with his buddies Focus On Health, with Historic Revellery who specialise in creating one of a kind experiences with drinks brands, or on his podcast 'No Proof' which has been nomitated at Tales of a Cocktail 2024 for an award for best podcast! On the podcast, Josh hosts conversations that highlight the different ways we all navigate life without alcohol. It's a reminder that while our journeys may be unique, we ultimately share in the growth and transformation that comes from making this choice. I really resonate with Joshua's mission, as I set up We Recover Loudly as I wish something like this had existed when I was questioning my own relationship with alcohol. Joshua believes it is all about a shift in mindset, which leads to a change in identity, and he is dedicated to continuously improving himself while uplifting those around him. We discussed - - The ulitmate sparkling water - The repurcussions the industry is still feeling post pandemic - What Gen Z really want in a role.- Culture being a 'tick box' excercise, and how as leaders we have to live the culture we want to see.- The awesomeness of finding common ground with your team when you remove alcohol and actually get to know them as individuals.- The power of all recovery stories, and that not having a 'rock bottom' does no invalidate your experiences.This was a wonderful chat with a beautiful soul.
