Next, Kenny Haisfield shares how he left a corporate consulting job in NYC to move to Bali and launch Kenny Flowers, a modern resortwear brand that brings vacation vibes to everyday life. Then, Katerina Axelsson, a chemist-turned-tech founder, recounts how she built Tastry, an AI-driven platform that teaches computers to taste wine, revolutionizing the wine industry with science and innovation. We also hear from Árpád Czapp, the Hungarian winemaker and oenologist behind @wine.inspires, who has captivated over 400,000 followers on TikTok by demystifying wine and sharing its stories with passion and flair. Amanda McCrossin, a certified sommelier and media personality, discusses her transition from Napa Valley's fine dining scene to becoming a leading wine educator and content creator, making wine approachable and engaging for a broad audience. Ludwig “Lucki” Maurer, a German chef and entrepreneur, shares his journey from battling lymphoma in his twenties to building a culinary empire that includes a catering business, a bio-Wagyū cattle farm, and a heavy metal band. Finally, Shay Martin, president and owner of Vibratex, reflects on how she helped bring the Rabbit vibrator to prominence, revolutionizing the pleasure product industry and empowering women to embrace their sexuality.
