Talking Türkiye

Live from the Turkish Coast, Shavinraj Gopinath joins Damon and Greg to talk about his gig as Group Beverage Manager for Maxx Royal Resorts, which sounds pretty sweet all things considered. Between discussing their foraging program, the elite level of hospitality he’s playing at and how the place even smells nice, Sha has the guys pretty much sold on a guest shift. He also discusses what it’s like to take on a mentorship role in hospitality.Plus, Damon and Greg were on the road this weekend, to judge a cocktail competition and sample some delicious apple brandy respectively. Follow Sha on Instagram at @thefairy_godfatherLove The Speakeasy but wish there was more?
