What Shark Diving Taught Me About Hospitality
—A Wildly Human Side Quest About Sharks, Wine, Service, Fear, and Wonder
I didn't expect one of the most important lessons of my wine career to come from a shark.
But somewhere between open water, racing heartbeats, and a healthy respect for creatures with far better PR problems than they deserve, I discovered something surprising about hospitality, fear, trust, and human connection.
This episode explores the unlikely overlap between shark diving and the wine world—and why the people who change our lives are rarely the smartest people in the room. They're the ones who make us feel safe enough to explore it.
A story about sharks. A lesson about people. And possibly the most unexpected hospitality masterclass you'll hear all year.
