0:00.0	Welcome to the Knowledge Project. I'm your host, Shane Parrish, curator behind Farnham Street,
0:12.9	which is an online intellectual hub of interestingness covering topics like human misjudgment,
0:17.7	decision-making, strategy, and philosophy. But today we're going to be talking about why,
0:23.4	one of my favorite subjects. The Knowledge Project allows me to interview amazing people
0:27.8	from around the world to deconstruct why they're good at what they do. It's more conversation
0:32.0	than prescription. On this episode I have Veronica Rivet, one of the most respected
0:37.8	someone in the world. She's been working in restaurants since she was 16. She's entirely self-taught
0:43.6	and has an amazing passion for wine. After placing twice in the top 12 in 2007 and 2010,

1:35.0	tools and services you already use like Google Drive, Dropbox and more. Visit Slack.com,
1:40.4	slash Furnham to create your team and get $100 in credits you can use if you decide to switch to a
1:46.0	paid plan. Welcome. Thanks for coming on. I've never interviewed a Soma Nye before,
1:52.3	and you're one of the world's best, so this is incredibly exciting for me. Tell me how you got started
1:58.5	with your love of wine. Well, how many hours do we have? It's, you know, and I never had a real
