In our 13th episode, we chat with Brad Japhe, freelance writer for Bloomberg, CNN, Wall Street Journal, Forbes and many other leading outlets.
Tune in to hear this globetrotting writer with an unquenchable thirst for news share his thoughts on:
1) How living in Hawaii for six months grounded him during the pandemic and provided him with a fresh perspective
2) How his stories for Forbes and Bloomberg, which target a business readership, differ than those for PUNCH and Liquor.com
3) Why covering wines and spirits created by pop culture icons, like Post Malone, Snoop Dogg and Peyton Manning, will continue to engage readers, as well as his thoughts on the future of celebrity brands
4) How he is approaching covering distilleries in far-flung locations, despite travel being largely on pause
5) Why he finds social media essential for doing and promoting his work
6) How personalizing a pitch is critical to winning him over
7) Why resorting to “tricks” to get him to open emails is a sure-fire way to undercut his interest in a pitch
8) Why Scotland is capturing his imagination as a destination when it is safe to resume traveling
Brad also addresses a listener question from Maura O’Connell Foley, Chef & Owner, Shelburne Lodge in Kenmare, Ireland, and author of “My Wild Atlantic Kitchen,” who wants to know if the Emerald Isle is on his travel agenda and, if so, why.
