    A Unified Theory of Cocktails with Dr. Kevin Peterson, Part 3
    Apr 8 2026

    The neighborhood bar is one of the last places untouched by AI, big tech, and all their algorithms. But what if that’s actually holding each us back from finding our “perfect” drink?

    In Part 1 and 2 of this series, we explored Dr. Kevin Peterson’s Cocktail Theory. And in this episode, we turn to his latest project, which aims to decode your taste and guide you to the drinks you didn’t know you were looking for.

  • Doug Frost on the Most Elite Certifications in the Wine World — and Why They Matter

    Doug Frost on the Most Elite Certifications in the Wine World — and Why They Matter
    Apr 1 2026

    Top mountain guide certifications (like AMGA and IFMGA) have a pass rate of around 70%. But what if we told you that in the wine world, the most rigorous certifications have a pass rate that’s only about 8% — and it’s often lower than that.

    The certifications of ‘Master Sommelier’ and ‘Master of Wine’ are two of the most demanding in any field. And our guest today, Doug Frost, is one of only three people in the world to hold both.

    So Doug and Eli dig into what makes these courses so challenging; the differences between the two; and, most importantly, why they matter.

Floreo Coffee founder, Sebastian Skokan, has dedicated himself to this cause, and today, he’s sharing his answers with Jonathan Ellsworth & Eli Brown.
