#113, Hayden “Woody” Wood, cocktail entrepreneur, world champion, author of 10 cocktail books (and Guy Fieri’s tour buddy)

Woody, a New Zealander, has been a fixture in Australian bartending for as long as I've been in the business, and he built his flair bartending and cocktail catering firm into a massive business there, wrote ten best-selling cocktail books, toured with Guy Fieri, burned out, came back, and has now founded a new solution to revolutionise the import-distribution of liquor in Australia, Drinks Network. Clearly, we were overdue - enjoy!Hayden on IG: https://www.instagram.com/mrliquidkitchen/?hl=deHayden on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/haydenwood639 Drinks Network on IG: https://www.instagram.com/drinks_networkBuy Hayden's books: https://www.amazon.com/Woodys-Liquid-Kitchen-Delicious-Recipes/dp/0975212397/ref=sr_1_2?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.52_NKdp9nuEABSwqKVec1kGMwmlKVWWB0kpsfr-XwCt7-zAsV4wibhBcAJuJ91FXIseUDUSiLp_zzjMhmPg_P583sJIFJ1ekyaGiZ-nb1GuyW6lqkgEyaZNNUqwkNE5cqGyRjXSUoYKAIA7Bq5ScGeNdjYJDNn30Y640FX6RolY32cMqC_6wzDJyjCyyDPZ7ZSHxpR3rlUtRN2toB_jpbVUmJdZbZ30VR6lq3KIDW4Q.RfvFQUrxPwFvFzcoR88XakGfy1FM4LPM2Iuv7cjpSQg&dib_tag=se&qid=1748226980&refinements=p_27%3AHayden+Wood&s=books&sr=1-2&text=Hayden+Wood (Get in touch with Duff!Podcast business enquiries:  [email protected] (PR friends: we’re only interested in having your client on if they can talk for a couple of hours about OTHER things besides their prepared speaking points or their new thing, whatever that is.
