Fred Minnick is a globally renowned bourbon expert, bestselling author, show host and more, but before he stepped into his unique career path, he was a veteran struggling with PTSD from his experience in Iraq.

During his Catalyst episode, Minnick shares scary, life-threatening moments from his time in Iraq and the nothing-matters-anymore feelings he struggled with upon returning home. Then, he shares the moment in therapy that changed his life: how a taste mindfulness experiment with a barbecue potato chip helped him shift his focus. The episode dives into how he found purpose after struggle and the importance of seeking help.

Now, Minnick has built a career out of his supertaster skills, sharing his expertise with fans via live events, books and conversations with celebrities on his award-winning series The Fred Minnick Show, which is currently in its fourth season.
