We had the good fortune of connecting with Eric Nathan and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Eric, what do you attribute your success to?
Everything is based off your why, or the passion you possess while executing your work. A great deal of the success is the commitment to my “Why”. Which is providing a wow factor at every opportunity of service. Thinking beyond the operation of your work, and creating an unforgettable experience that stays with my clients.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
So I am the mixologist and On Premise Director for Pronghorn Co. Proudly, my brand is lead by advocating for black owned brands only. I operate bars and logistics for sales at restaurants and lounges. I’m also a musician, and a lot of those creative elements are a direct correlation with my creative journey with spirits. I’m intrigued by providing the “Wow” factor for a guest enjoying a cocktail Ive created. I love to put fruit and herb components together with a spirit to create a unique experience. It’s been tons of challenges, however nothing is easy. Once we understand that greatness comes with overcoming those challenges, you’re able to see the character it builds.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Atlanta has an incredible food scene. Starting off would be Mrs Iceys for brunch. There are tons of sponsored parties we do hosted by phenomenal promoters. The Enjoyment Room, Wicked Wolf, The Bank, and Unknown/Flo are amazing spots for outstanding food and vibes. Come to my cocktail class at The Upper Room Atl on Fridays. We also host alot of kickbacks as well, hosted by amazing chefs like Chef Willie Wallace. We collaborate and Create paired cocktails. So they would be in for a treat!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
From books that are essentially life’s bible like Think & Grow Rich and The Four Agreements really have provided an insurmountable amount of inspiration. The proper alignment allows your vibration to align with the moments you have manifested. My community is stronger than ever, my mentors, my wife and supportive friends that are closer than a brother, have really helped keep me focused on the mission.
