Cedd Moses/Pedro Shanahan

Cedd Moses has been many things, from horse track better to financial advisor to bar owner to, really, the creator of modern nightlife in Downtown Los Angeles.  Now he can add one more title to his resume: author.  Cedd has written a love letter to bars and bartenders, and he gave it the same title as his company: Pouring with Heart.  Yes, Cedd is a repeat guest, but his first episode was really his story - this episode is more focused on his team and his service philosophy (and, of course, the book), and we're joined by Pedro Shanahan, who is the "spirit guide" for Cedd's bar group and also the voice for the audiobook version of Pouring with Heart.   But if you're reading this and thinking "nah, I don't need to listen to a podcast episode about a book on bars and bartenders", take a look at that title.  Because the book - and this conversation - is only about bars and bartenders on the surface: we talk just as much if not more about  compassion and empathy and community and the nobility of service and, well ... heart.  Oh, speaking of which, all the proceeds from the book go to a fund to help bartenders in need, so the simple act of buying it offers a little bit of heart to someone else.  I hope you'll check it out - and I hope you'll check out the book!
