Ep. 313: Pouring Passion Into Purpose with Lucia Creed
Q: Can you tell our listeners a bit about your background and what brought you to the beverage industry?
Lucia describes growing up around hospitality, starting as a hostess at age 12, and finding her home in the bar community, which led to a career in brand work and mentorship.
Ep. 314: Pursuing Prosecco with Matteo Bolla
