Description

Mackenzie Putici is a man of diverse tastes, pun intended. He is a sommelier (that’s a fancy term for someone who is a wine expert) and runs companies that provide wine and food tour experiences. He is passionate about bringing people together through the love of food, story, spaces, and travel. As someone who has traveled to 43 countries, he has lots of interesting stories to share, including a story of how he got invited to eat at a stranger's house in Morocco.

Highlights & Takeaways

• While working in the restaurant industry, he reminded himself of why people come back and that can be in your personal presence or at the restaurant or in your business - it comes down to hospitality
• How he was able to establish partnerships with wineries and restaurants to run his tours
• How a lot of us have memories and comforts around food and family, and how it can also connect strangers together
• Whether it’s in theater or other aspects of life, people genuinely want to see you succeed and be the best version of yourself
• Truly seek excitement in life and if you're not excited about what you're doing, find a way to shake things up
