Published: Sept. 29, 2020, 1 p.m.

EPISODE 30: We\u2019re continuing our food and bev theme this week\u2014our friend Robert Woodford upended a life in Oahu to move to Chicago. The move had a huge effect on his life direction and he left behind a career in IT to go back into hospitality.

\n

Spending time behind the bar, coupled with his desire to never stay stagnant, eventually led him to pursue sommelier training and a whole new sense of discipline for one of the most coveted titles in the industry.

\n

We talk about his transition (both geographically and career-wise), resisting stagnancy, the favorite wine choice of a typical anti-masker, and he peels back the curtain on what it's like to be a sommelier.
