Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is Alcohol Facing a Generational Reckoning? What Gen Z Is Really Telling Us - I talk🎙️with Bourcard Nesin
Q: What trends have you been writing about lately and what are you discovering?
Gen Z drinks differently than older generations, with declines in underage drinking and complex interactions with marijuana use; the driver is not simply health or vanity but social and economic factors, along with the loneliness trend.
💥 From 882% Growth to Tory Burch's Stage How El Guapo’s Christa Cotton Built a Beverage Empire 🍸👏🎇
Q: What sparked the shift from wholesale to direct-to-consumer during Covid?
The shift came from recognizing lockdowns and pantry-stocking behavior; by focusing on the website and self-distributed sales, the business captured consumer-at-home demand, leading to a dramatic sales increase and Costco inventory clearing, despite the broader disruption to wholesale channels.
From Journalism to Beverage Law ⚖️🥃 | Ryan Malkin's Legal Startup Guide for Alcohol, NA, THC & CBD Brands
Q: What should founders know about co-packers and distillation versus in-house production?
If you don't distill, you'll need a co-packer with appropriate licenses; you'll also file for a trademark and ensure the contract is tight to avoid liability when things go wrong.
From Journalism to Beverage Law ⚖️🥃 | Ryan Malkin's Legal Startup Guide for Alcohol, NA, THC & CBD Brands
Q: From a starting brand perspective, what are the first legal steps to take?
Form the company (Delaware often preferred for investors), secure a trademark clearance, decide between in-house production or co-packers, and set up the correct permits to sell to distributors; build a simple, clear contract with your co-packer and plan for route-to-market.
🎙️ From Dropout to 9-Figure CPG Empire | Mike Fata on Building, Selling & Giving Back
Q: How did you navigate mentorship and peer networks to scale your company and learn what you didn't know?
He leaned on two senior mentors early on and later built a broad peer-to-peer network with other founders in similar-sized businesses, sharing knowledge across adjacent, non-competing categories to accelerate growth.
