Welcome to Brainchild, a podcast where potentials are unlocked in our careers and in life, inspired by conversations with others who are proud parents of their own creations. In each episode, we will connect with a guest to talk about what makes them tick and how they turned a passion into a project in various industries including hospitality, media, and technology. You will find with me insight, entertainment, and your "ah-ha" moment in the most unexpected places.

Stray Dog Wild Gin ft. Johnny Livanos

Stray Dog Wild Gin ft. Johnny Livanos

Johnny Livanos is the founder of Stray Dog Wild Gin, a gin company that focuses on a unique blend of wild botanicals native to Greece’s hills and mountains, which are then mixed with Mediterranean citrus and pure spring water. He is also a 3rd generation Greek-American restaurateur, who is part of a proud New York family that owns and runs several acclaimed venues in Manhattan and Westchester NY, including Oceana, Molyvos, Ousia, Moderne Barn and City Limits.
We talk about how his idea for the company came about in his own ah-ha moment, how he came up with the name "Stray Dog Wild Gin," being on ABC's TV Series "Family Food Fight", and his younger days as a university student at Cornell University and Culinary Institute of America. This episode will give you in-depth and comprehensive introduction to the world of gin and greek spirits.

The Power of Language & Parenting

The Power of Language & Parenting

Why are languages so important? They help us express and speak up for ourselves using our own tongue. They help us connect and deeply bond with our friends, family, and lovers. They enrich the world we see and experience. In this episode, my friends Jane, Andrew, and I share our experiences of growing up as a polyglot/bilingual in a multicultural environment.
