Bar Tips for Love: What Bartenders Can Teach Us About Relationships with Neil Rogers

In this episode of Shot@Love, Kerry Brett sits down with author of the popular book Bar Tips by Neil Rogers for a powerful conversation about human connection, dating, and what the hospitality industry can teach us about finding love. Neil shares how decades behind the bar shaped his understanding of people, respect, and first impressions—and why dating, like bartending, is ultimately a people business. From the importance of a proper greeting to the power of listening more than you speak, this episode explores how small, intentional actions can completely change the way we connect with others. The conversation dives into transferable skills from hospitality that apply directly to dating, including preparation, punctuality, reading the room, and meeting people where they are. Neil explains why being “right” is overrated, how kindness builds trust, and why showing up without an agenda creates deeper, more authentic connections. Kerry and Neil also discuss loneliness, modern dating challenges like ghosting, and how technology has made it easier to hide instead of engage. They explore why respect, compassion, and presence are more attractive than perfection—and how confidence grows when we focus less on impressing and more on genuinely connecting. This episode is a reminder that love doesn’t come from performance or pressure. It comes from listening, kindness, and the courage to be yourself. Whether you’re dating, rebuilding confidence, or simply wanting better connections in your love life or in business, this conversation offers timeless lessons that can change how you show up—for dates, relationships, and life itself.

2026 Changes Everything: Love, Astrology and the Year of the Horse Gallops In with Jill Jardine

The start of a new year isn’t just about resolutions. It’s about acceleration. In 2026, the heaviness of the last few years begins to lift. The exhaustion, the repeating patterns, and the familiar question of why we keep ending up in the same place are finally giving way to movement and possibility. Astrologically and energetically, we are entering a rare window that supports forward momentum, emotional openness, and new beginnings. In this episode of Shot@Love, Kerry Brett is joined by astrologer and psychic healer Jill Jardine for a deep look at what the planetary shifts of 2026 mean for love, connection, creativity, and personal growth. Jill explains why this year marks the official transition into Aquarian age energy and how the collective move from heavy earth and water influences into lighter air and fire elements creates space for inspiration, innovation, and emotional renewal. Together, Kerry and Jill explore why 2026 is a year of acceleration rather than hesitation. The Year of the Horse arrives with momentum, encouraging people to stop dragging the past into the future and instead align with what is meant for them now. This episode breaks down why January sets the tone for the entire year, why intention-setting early matters more than ever, and how grounding practices help navigate a faster, more dynamic energetic landscape. Jill offers a detailed snapshot of the first quarter of 2026, including the powerful Aquarius activations in January, the intensity of eclipse season and retrogrades in February, and the integration and forward motion that begins to take shape in March. She explains how these shifts may impact relationships, dating, creativity, and emotional readiness, while also offering guidance on how to stay centered during periods of rapid change. This conversation is especially meaningful for anyone who has felt stuck, cautious, or emotionally weighed down in recent years. It offers clarity on how to work with the energy of 2026 rather than resist it, and why love becomes more accessible when timing and readiness finally align. As Kerry and Jill discuss, love is not about perfect circumstances. It is about being prepared when opportunity meets intention. Listeners will walk away with a clearer understanding of why 2026 represents a collective reset, how to approach love and connection with optimism instead of fear, and what it means to move forward without carrying old emotional baggage. This episode is an invitation to trust the momentum, stay grounded, and allow the year ahead to unfold with purpose.
