In this episode of Around the Glass Talks, I sit down with Nana Sechere, one of the Bar World Top 100 and a true force in the global beverage scene. With decades behind the bar and even more spent building people up, Nana opens up about a topic we rarely talk about out loud: the real human cost of hospitality.

We explore the unseen pressures, the emotional toll, and the quiet strength it takes to thrive behind the bar and why true leadership today is about more than just perfect pours.

From global flavors to personal rituals, from mentorship to mental health, this conversation reveals the soul behind the shaker.

What’s the future of our industry?
It starts with inclusion. With care. With community.
And maybe, just maybe with a little bit of Nana’s flavor magic too.

Press play. This one stays with you.
