## Resource

People come up with bar names and cocktail ideas in all kinds of ways, but for Josh Harris, inspiration often comes from memory, art, and whatever happens to spark something bigger. That creative instinct helped turn Trick Dog into one of the most influential bars of its generation. But Josh wasn’t always sure the bar—or even his place in the industry—would work out that way. On this episode of The Buildout, Josh joins Adam to talk about what it really takes to build a great bar, how to create a team culture that encourages creativity and buy-in, and how his own sobriety has shaped the way he thinks about hospitality and the bar world today.
