With Excitement, allow me to introduce to you today's guest, Chief vision Officer at Pouring With Heart, Cedd Moses. Prior to starting Pouring With Heart, Moses was busy creating financial algorithms that made rich people richer. In addition, he opened Liquid Kitty which he sold to purchase the Golden Gopher, the first of Pouring With Heart's bars. Today, Pouring With Heart is a hospitality company that operates twenty-five bars, historic restaurants, and beer halls across Los Angeles, San Diego, Austin, and Denver. Moses and his team of pioneers garnered national recognition for their part in revitalizing downtown LA circa 2002. Today, you can find their bars growing across the country, with Moses also spearheading the For Each Other Fund, a charity that supports Pouring With heart bar Staff in Need.  Grab Pouring With Heart: The Essential Magic Behind The Bartenders We Love by Cedd Moses and Erik Cardona!
