309: Safe, Sober, & Inclusive: How Zero-Proof Bev Are Changing the F&B Industry

from Eating at a Meeting · host Tracy Stuckrath

What a month it's been! As Women's HERStory Month comes to a close, I couldn't think of a better way to wrap it up than with a conversation that's redefining inclusivity in food and beverage. Laura Silverman, founder of Zero Proof Nation and Booze Free in DC, is leading the charge in the non-alcoholic beverage movement, proving that choice and inclusion belong at every table. With 17+ years of sobriety, Laura's journey is deeply personal. After struggling with binge drinking in college and getting sober at 24, she saw firsthand how limited and uninspiring the non-alcoholic beverage landscape was. So, she built the resource she wished existed—a global hub connecting people with alcohol-free options, community, and education. 💡 As a thought leader in the adult non-alcoholic beverage movement, Laura isn't here to vilify alcohol—she's here to empower choice. Whether you're taking a night off, redefining your relationship with drinking, or just looking for something beyond soda and seltzer, her work ensures safe, equitable, and innovative beverage options for all. 🔥 From launching a global map of NA-friendly establishments to judging the World Alcohol Free Awards, Laura has been instrumental in bringing non-alcoholic drinking culture to the forefront. She's making sure everyone—whether sober, sober-curious, or simply exploring mindful alternatives—has a seat at the table. 🎙️ Join me LIVE for this final Women's HERStory Month episode as we dive into: ✅ The rise of mindful drinking and its impact on the F&B industry ✅ How event planners can create more inclusive beverage experiences ✅ The power of community and education in reshaping drinking culture 📅 Let's raise a zero-proof toast to all the incredible women making HERstory in food and beverage. You don't want to miss this final conversation of the month! 🥂 🎙️

This Impact Studios production is a collaboration with the Governor family, UTS Faculty of Law and Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research.The Last Outlaws teamKatherine Biber - UTS Law Professor and Chief InvestigatorAunty Loretta Parsley - Great-granddaughter of Jimmy Governor and the Governor Family Historian Leroy Parsons - Governor descendant, Narrator and Co-WriterKaitlyn Sawrey - Host, Writer and Senior ProducerFrank Lopez - Writer, Managing Next Generation Energy Systems Cambridge University Background Stakeholders working with energy systems have to make complex decisions formulated from risk-based assessments about the future. The move towards more renewables in our energy systems complicates matters even further, requiring the development of an integrated power grid and continuous and steady transformation of the UK power system. Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems. These interdisciplinary approaches are looking to address a range of associated problems, including modelling, prediction, simulation, control, market and mechanism design and optimisation.
