About this listen
Adam O’Donnell, the mastermind behind Jive Turkey in Las Vegas, spills the tea on the wild, unexpected chaos of opening your first bar. He’s dropping truth bombs about why bartending shouldn’t be some snooty, pretentious gig—and then cranks it up a notch with the iciest, most gangster "Icing" moment ever captured mid-interview. This is the raw, unfiltered bar life story you didn’t know you needed!
