In January 2023, Gabriel traveled to the southern Pacific Coast of Mexico, in the state of Guerrero, to experience Playa Viva, an eco-luxury and regenerative boutique hotel founded by our next guest, David Leventhal, and his then-wife shortly after purchasing the land in 2006.
Playa Viva is situated at the base of the Sierra Madre Mountains, just forty minutes from Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa International Airport (ZIH). This unique hotel embodies the concept "where your vacation meets your values™," dedicated to a triple-bottom-line approach that benefits the planet, people, and prosperity. With 19 treehouse rooms spread across nearly a mile of private beach and 200 acres of nature reserve, guests enjoy "The Luxury of Immersion in Nature."
In 2023, Playa Viva achieved B-Corp Certification, becoming a world-leading example of experiential travel. The hotel offers an authentic, all-encompassing regenerative experience, combining wellness, action/adventure, excursions to unique places, and a commitment to restoring and regenerating the landscape and local communities.
David’s passion for sustainability also led him to co-found Regenerative Travel, a company that connects travelers with independent hotels deeply rooted in their communities, enabling people, nature, and culture to thrive. Think of it as a Relais & Châteaux for ultra-eco-conscious sustainable properties worldwide. (I’ll include a link in the show notes to explore it further.)
During my stay at Playa Viva, David and I discovered a shared love for building community and fostering genuine human connection—a mission David has successfully pursued since the inception of Playa Viva.
In this episode, you’ll hear more about Playa Viva’s core values and why they have recieved numerous accolades from prestigious publications like Condé Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure Co., and Global Design News, which have elevated David and his team to a global stage.

Our next guests are Ian Burrell and Aaisha Dadral, Co-founders of The Equiano Rum Company, creators of the world’s first African and Caribbean rums. This pioneering venture not only celebrates the rich heritage of rum but also champions the values of freedom and equality, inspired by the legendary figure Olaudah Equiano.
Ian, known globally as the Rum Ambassador, has spent decades entertaining and educating audiences about the diverse and exhilarating world of rum. He is the visionary behind The UK RumFest, which has inspired a wave of similar festivals worldwide. Ian is one of the most traveled and respected figures in the rum industry, known for his passion and deep knowledge of the craft.
Aaisha, a branding and marketing executive, began her illustrious career in the music industry with major record labels like Island Records, Mercury/Def Jam Records, and Levels Entertainment. She is also the founder of Crave, a brand studio that showcases her innovative approach to branding and marketing. Her expertise has been instrumental in shaping Equiano Rum’s distinctive identity and global appeal.

Drawing inspiration from the remarkable journey of Olaudah Equiano—from slavery to freedom—they have introduced the world’s first African and Caribbean rum. This unique blend not only pays homage to Equiano’s legacy but also contributes a percentage of the profits to organizations dedicated to freedom and equality annually.
The story of Equiano Rum is not just about producing exceptional spirits; it’s about creating a brand that embodies resilience, liberation, and a commitment to positive change. This ethos resonates deeply with those who believe in the transformative power of storytelling and the importance of honoring cultural heritage while driving social progress.

As the Beatles sang in their 1967 hit, “All You Need is Love,” they weren't just referring to the love of another but also the love of oneself. Our next Hot Spot guest, Chef Jordan Kahn, is writing a new chapter in his career, focused on redefining success and joy through love.
Jordan honed his skills under culinary icons like Thomas Keller, Grant Achatz, and Michael Mina. He has been at the forefront of LA’s culinary scene with his restaurants—Destroyer, an informal daytime spot serving sophisticated, wholesome fare; Meteora, a transporting, holistic restaurant focusing on live-fire cooking that opened in 2022; and the recently reopened Vespertine, his extravagant experiment in fine dining that closed for the greater part of three years.
Vespertine’s previous accolades include two Michelin stars from 2019 to 2021, recognition as one of the Most Beautiful Restaurants by Condé Nast, and a spot on Time Magazine’s prestigious list of the World’s 100 Greatest Places.
Despite the awards, accolades, and so-called success, Jordan felt depleted and undernourished by his work. The pandemic, although devastating to the industry, also allowed him to slow down, find balance and meet the love of his life. His wife Zara has had a tremendous influence on him, helping him move "from the head to the heart" in both his creative culinary pursuits and in life in general.

When was the last time you ate Korean food at your local Koreatown, enjoyed a K-drama on your favorite streaming service, or flipped open TikTok to a viral sensation soundtracked by a famous K-pop band? Have you noticed the impact of Korean cuisine and culture on our world? Maybe you're noticing it now, or perhaps you're already a citizen of Koreaworld, deeply connected to the culture.
Our next two guests, Deuki Hong and Matt Rodbard, are true citizens of Koreaworld—global ambassadors with a deep love, passion, and appreciation for Korean food and culture. Their recent book, titled Koreaworld: A Cookbook, encapsulates this passion with over two years of travel specifically for this book and close to a decade of exploration.
Deuki is a Korean-American executive chef and owner of The Sunday Family Hospitality Group in San Francisco. Matt is a writer, editor, and author of food and culture books with more than two decades of experience. He's also the co-host of This Is Taste podcast. Together, 10 years ago, Deuki and Matt co-authored the New York Times Bestseller Koreatown: A Cookbook.
As they both witnessed the continued influence and impact of Korean culture worldwide, they were compelled to follow up their first book with Koreaworld: a story about vibrant people, community, and brilliant recipes. You're about to listen to the story of a culinary revolution.

This is an episode rerelease from our On The Pass archives. We hope you enjoy!
Can chefs step up and takeover our broken food system? Chef Dan Barber thinks they can and should. Dan is the Co-owner of Blue Hill and Blue Hill at Stone Barns, author of The New York Times Bestseller "The Third Plate", and Co-Founder of Row 7 Seeds, a company developing and exploring new varieties of vegetables and grains.
We dissect today’s broken food system and take a deeper look at the current state of our farms, how the seeds today have been modified for high yield rather than grown for nutrition, and how his company Row 7 Seeds is looking to combat that by breeding organic seeds that result in maximum nutrition and flavor.
Dan is someone who is deeply committed to the concept that better ingredients means better health for ourselves and for our lands. He also is adamant that chefs can be the vehicle to help change our world. Honest, open, and quite the conversationalist, this episode is not to be missed.
