This episode is the final interview of “We Have Lived" with host Hassel Aviles and Nariba Shepherd, bartender and co-host of Terms of Service podcast. They discuss how hospitality professionals need mental health days, going from BOH to FOH, liveable wages, the importance of communication and much more!
Nariba Shepherd is a recovering chef and currently bartends while also co-hosting Terms of Service podcast in Chicago, IL. Born in Trinidad and Tobago, raised between the islands and the East Coast, her life and culinary journey are impacted by many different people and cultures. Becoming an agent of change was never on her bucket list when she started her journey in the service industry, but it seems to be the path destined before her.
She is thrilled that she is finally putting her BS in Education (Human Development and Family Studies) to use, she talks to people from all over the service industry in an attempt to facilitate change not just within the industry; but to also shed light on the realities of the work so many of us do, the harm and trauma that goes into creating “perfect memories” for our guests.
The book referenced in the conversation about boundaries is called "Set Boundaries, Find Peace" by Nedra Glover Tawwab, MSW, LCSW.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
