Laura Süpper has lived in New York City almost her entire life and, after a career in wine and hospitality which included co-ownership of an influential boutique Italian wine importer, recently embarked on a new act in her life: a career in nursing. Laura and host Michael Whidden worked together at that wine importer, Acid Inc., from 2012 to 2015, becoming good friends.
Our discussion includes, among other things:
*her path into nursing, initiated by pandemic-related work at Jones Beach and the Javits Center
*the educational demands of her first year, which nevertheless resulted in a 4.0 GPA
*how she reframes her mindset to remain positive and uplifting for patients and families
*her adoration for the borough of Queens, where she has lived most of her life except for...
*living in Tuscany and learning Italian before she came into the wine trade
*the power of curiosity
Laura finds hope in the younger generation, especially those who she is studying and training with, and the clarity of their dreams and goals.
