Talking with a Frontline Optimist - Josh Harris

Renowned hospitality entrepreneur and influential San Francisco bar owner, Josh Harris, discovered his passion for bartending after a sports injury cut short his athletic ambitions in his early twenties. He talks poignantly about his early struggles with alcohol and drug addiction, the calm he found being on the other side of the bar and navigating the cocktail renaissance sober.  As the hospitality industry makes tentative steps towards recovery, Josh shares how his commitment and resolute mindset help him face the post-pandemic challenges ahead, with a little pick-me-up from vintage hunting along the way.
