b'
If you\\u2019re an avid watcher of Netflix, you may have caught this episode\\u2019s guest on the hit series, Drink Masters, a reality-style competition based in the world of cocktails. LP O\\u2019Brien was the inaugural winner of the show, which she joined after years of a successful career in bartending, cocktail creation, and a host of hospitality roles. Her career was objectively already impressive before Netflix came calling, and being named as the \\u201cMaster\\u201d of the show\\u2019s title simply added more excitement around her insight, expertise, and passion toward beverages.
In this conversation, you\\u2019ll hear LP talk some about how the show impacted her and what she\'s been up to since, but mostly, you\\u2019ll hear us share stories about \\u2026 stories. And also what it means to say \\u201cyes,\\u201d \\u201cno,\\u201d and the power of taking control of your own schedule. Part of this is necessary for LP these days, as she runs a consulting company, LP Drinks, and has partnered with the creation of other businesses, from one focused on wellness and health among hospitality pros to a canned cocktail brand. When we connected, LP had just wrapped a multi-day pop-up event in New York City as part of her company, Bodega Culture, which celebrates the distinctive features and emotional significance these stores hold for people.
It\\u2019s hard to define someone as a \\u201crising star\\u201d when they\\u2019re already held in high regard, but LP is one of the beverage world\\u2019s experts you\\u2019re sure to see and hear more from in the future. However high her star may be already, there\\u2019s still momentum upward, and you\\u2019ll get to know her better in this conversation.
