Down in New Orleans during the Tales of the Cocktail festival, I helped Procera, a luxury gin from Kenya, to run a private hospitality House, which came complete with a pool, so myself and Greg Benson of The Speakeasy had the bright idea to interview the Procera founders, Guy and Alan, while drinking martinis on the rocks, in the pool.
Yep, we invented poolcasting!
Alan, born and raised in Nairobi, is one of Kenya's most celebrated chefs, a restaurateur, trained brewer (he founded Kenya's first craft brewery) and as well as co-founding Procera, is raising Africa's first herd of cattle for wagyu beef!
Guy, who is from Australia, got his MBA in France and spent almost his entire career in microfinance throughout Africa, helping small entrepreneurs gain access to capital to start and grow their businesses, before moving to Nairobi and co-founding Procera.
I loved this taping, and, oh yes, HERE the link if you'd like to WATCH this - yep, we recorded video! Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ko1RWuYfYWE

(PR friends: we’re only interested in having your client on if they can talk for a couple of hours about OTHER things besides their prepared speaking points or their new thing, whatever that is.
They need to be able to hang.
Oh, plus we don't edit, and we won’t supply prepared or sample questions, or listener or “reach” stats, either, and no, you can't sit in on the interview or Zoom.)
