This week on Culinary Confidential, it’s all about where craft meets courage!
Dee Robinson, the visionary behind Good Trouble Bourbon, joins the show to explore what happens when a brand is built with purpose at its core.
Robinson’s journey is a masterclass in intentional entrepreneurship. Good Trouble was created to honor legacy, spark dialogue, and remind us that challenging the status quo is not only necessary but noble. Inspired by Congressman John Lewis, Robinson crafted a bourbon designed to bring people together and ignite meaningful conversation.
Christina brings her deep hospitality expertise to a conversation moving from craft distilling to community impacts, as Robinson shares how her Shine Your Light Foundation is expanding access, mentorship, and opportunity for underrepresented communities. The bourbon and the foundation are two sides of the same mission: building pathways, elevating voices, and leading with purpose.
This episode is a toast to bold ideas, brave ideas, and the belief that business can be a force for good.
