1.22 Grand Ambassador? - Peter O'Connor on why Bartenders & Sales Managers misunderstand Brand Ambassadors

In this episode you'll learn how the role of a Brand Ambassador can be one of the most simultaneously under AND over-rated jobs in the drinks industry plus we make a big announcement on bringing BizBevPod on the road!Foxy and Will talk to Peter O'Connor  owner of the fabulous Onda Cocktail Room in Lisbon. Peter is the prefect person to guide us through the seemingly glamourous world of the Brand Ambassador, the most misunderstood job in drinks.  Peter is a poacher-turned-gamekeeper-turned-poacher as he started work as an exceptional bartender before Brand Ambassador roles with Diageo and other companies in Ireland, the USA and around Europe before settling behind the bar of Onda. Peter talks with searing honesty about the highs and lows of being a Brand Ambassador. For our Desert Island Drink we talk to Eoghan Walsh, the award winning Beer Writer based in Belgium. Eoghan talks about the thriving Belgian beer scene and bonding with his in-laws over beer and cycling.  Plus we announce the huge news that Business of Beverages is going to host an event in Leuven, Belgium on May 25th & 26th of 2020!
