What do wine and parenting have in common? More than you think. In this insightful and surprisingly funny conversation, Lisa sits down with luxury wine expert and author Danielle Frank to explore how the language of wine can help us rethink how we raise humans. From control and expectations to identity, independence, and imperfection—this episode challenges modern parenting norms and reminds us that growth isn't about perfection… it's about becoming. What We Explore: Why kids (like wine) need space to breathe The hidden pressure of “perfect parenting” How expectations can quietly damage relationships Why community—not control—raises healthy humans The power of letting go and trusting the process What “faults” teach us about identity and resilience Standout Moments: “The majority of your relationship with your child will be with them as an adult.” “Sometimes the best thing you can do… is step back and let it breathe.” “We teach kids how to behave—but also what to expect from others.” “It's not failure. It's evolution.” “Imperfection doesn't ruin the bottle—it makes it unique.” About Danielle: Danielle Frank is a luxury wine and spirits expert with over 20 years of experience, including leadership roles at Moët Hennessy and Bacardi. She is the author of A Wine Lover's Guide to Parenting—a witty, insightful book that blends wine terminology with real-life parenting wisdom.

Send us Fan MailA toxic job can teach you more in three months than a “dream role” can teach you in six years. Danielle Frank knows that firsthand. She started as a Miramax Films PR insider traveling the world for premieres and festivals, then moved to Los Angeles and walked straight into an agency culture that made her body scream “nope.” That moment becomes the spark for a bigger conversation about listening to yourself even when your career looks successful from the outside, and how “embracing the pivot” can lead you to the work you were meant to do.Danielle takes us from Bacardi to Moët Hennessy and into the heart of wine storytelling: the romance, the memories, and the history that shows up in every glass. We also geek out on what makes wine feel intimidating and how she tries to make wine knowledge simple and accessible, including a great detour into the legacy behind Veuve Clicquot and why story is sometimes the best pairing.Then we get into her book, A Wine Lover's Guide to Parenting, a humor-forward read that uses wine terms to deliver real lessons about raising decent humans. We talk manners, consistency, tough love, and the hard truth that sometimes your kid might be the one causing harm outside the home. We also explore what it means to be a nurturing adult even if you are not a parent, plus the idea of productive struggle and why letting kids fall safely can build confidence over time.If you like honest parenting talk with a sharp sense of humor and you want a fresh take on wine culture and connection, hit play, share this with a fellow parent or wine lover, and subscribe so you do not miss what we do next. After you listen, will you leave a review and tell us the best “pause and breathe” moment you've had as a parent?Please be sure to checkout our website for previous episodes, our psych-approved resource page, and connect with us on social media!

"Just because the path of motherhood might not happen for me, it doesn't mean the nurturing goes away. I still want a seat at the table for how kids are raised." — Danielle Frank About This Episode Danielle Frank traded Hollywood red carpets for red wine — and now she's poured both passions into her debut book. After launching her career in entertainment publicity at Miramax International, where she worked on global film campaigns and rubbed elbows with A-listers at Cannes, Venice, and Berlin, Danielle pivoted into the luxury wine and spirits industry, spending 22+ years at Bacardi and Moët Hennessy. Her book, A Wine Lover's Guide to Parenting: The Fine Art of Wine & Whine Management, is a satirical, adults-only survival guide written in rhyme that blends wine terminology with parenting wisdom. Despite not being a parent herself, Danielle — a self-described "auntie extraordinaire" — brings a sharp, loving outsider's perspective to the comedy of raising kids. Mike and Danielle talk career pivots, the storytelling parallels between film and wine, game show obsessions, Billy Joel, and why you should never let your kid ferment. Key Takeaways 1. It's all storytelling. Whether selling a film at Cannes or a bottle of wine at dinner, Danielle sees the through-line: you're creating a narrative that evokes feeling. That insight carried her from Miramax to Moët Hennessy. 2. You don't have to be a parent to care about parenting. Danielle wrote the book as a proud aunt and keen observer. Her "outsider with a front-row seat" perspective gives the humor its edge — she witnesses the triumphs and tantrums, glass in hand, no carpool duty required. 3. The book sat in a drawer for 14 years. Danielle wrote it over a decade ago but only published it last year. Her motivation: "If I go on my deathbed and I've done nothing with it, it's going to plague me." 4. Wine doesn't have to be intimidating. Every chapter uses real wine terminology — fermentation, varietal, mulled wine — and gives the definition in a fun, accessible way. It's wine education wrapped in comedy. 5. Don't let your kid ferment. Fermentation turns sugar into alcohol — something sweet into something harsh. The parallel to raising kids with manners writes itself, and Danielle's rhyming chapter on the topic is a showstopper. 6. Don't leave anything on the table. Danielle's life advice: you have one life to live, so go after things. She quit a toxic PR job without a backup plan, pivoted industries, and finally published the book she'd been sitting on — all by trusting the leap.

Stop by Southridge Brewing! They're celebrating their 1 year anniversary in June! Recording on Cinco de Mayo brings out a little extra chaos, especially when we have the one and only Alex Rhinehart from Southridge Brewery joining us! We became his new marketing team, much to his dismay, and he joined us in talking about all things Cincy Brew Dads before he headed North to regain some sanity and peace and quiet. Much discussion-ery was had on Tuesday about all manner of things such as:  What makes beers Mexican, or at least what makes a Mexican lager Mexican. The languages our beer hearts speak. Qualities to look for in food. Maxing out the clicker. Mike and Marco need to have an impression showdown. Mike hates and dislikes a LOT of things, especially when he's flying solo. Nothing good happens after 2AM. A Tilray stock price update. Talking a little about Fred Rogers, the best human ever. Gnome finally felt like a dragon. Planning to record on train tracks. Did Gnome have the best Oktoberfest he's ever had? We go over the difference between a beer aging and holding up well. Almost all spontaneous human combustion events can be tied to consuming Bacardi 151. Some local brewery news. ----- This episode covers the following shows : The Weekly Pint - Ep 312 - Pa-Rum-Pa-Rum-Rum Barstool Perspective - 5/1/2026 Cincy Brew Dads - Narrow Path - Irish Dragons and Majestic Wood - From The Tap Ep 21, Pt 2 ----- What we drank :  Margaritassssss Streetside - Cerveza Especial - Mexican Style Lager Rhinegeist - (Mexican) Cincy Light - Light Lager Third Eye - (Mexican) Hop Shockra - West Coast IPA Masthead - (Mexican) IPA - IPA Masthead - ¡Sí Cerveza! - Maxican Style Lager ----- Episode recorded on 5/5/2026 at our amazing podcast host, Higher Gravity Summit Park! https://highergravitycrafthaus.com/ Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed by Truth, Beer, and Podsequences are those of the participants alone and do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of any entities they may represent. ------  Links to everything at http://truthbeerpod.com/ or https://truthbeerpod.podbean.com/ Find us on all the social medias @ TruthBeerPod Email us at TruthBeerPod@gmail.com Subscribe, like, review, and share!

Have you ever poured your heart into a project—only to be left unpaid in the end? Rich Wright, Artist, Designer, and Podcast Host, shares a Client Horror Story that left a lasting mark on his career. At the time, Rich had already begun building a strong reputation, even doing design work for Bacardi. Through those connections, he was introduced to a well-known musical act. The band was big, successful, and looking for someone to design their stage outfits for an upcoming event—and they wanted Rich. Thrilled by the opportunity, Rich presented his ideas, showcased his portfolio, and signed an agreement to begin the work. But something about the situation made him uneasy from the start. Trusting his instincts, he arranged to be paid in three installments. After pouring his creativity and effort into the project, Rich personally delivered the final piece of the costume directly to the band's dressing room. That's when everything went sideways. Instead of paying the remaining balance, the band refused—and even handed the situation over to their attorney. And believe it or not, the story only gets stranger from there. Tune in to hear how Rich navigated the chaos and ultimately fought to claim the payment he rightfully earned. Morgan FriedmanRich's WebsiteRich's LinkedInRich's InstagramRich's TikTokRich's X/TwitterRich's FacebookRich's YouTube Channel

Andy Henriquez turned a rejected job application into a masterclass in human influence — and the only tool he used was a 30-second story. Andy Henriquez is a business storytelling coach, founder of the Master Storyteller Academy and the Million Dollar Storyteller Mastermind, and a keynote speaker who has trained executives at Google, Accenture, Bacardi, and Pratt & Whitney. He's a protégé of the legendary Les Brown — and in this conversation, he makes a compelling case that storytelling isn't a soft skill; it's the most underutilized negotiation weapon you already own. This is one of those rare episodes where the guest doesn't just talk about their craft — they demonstrate it in real time, and Kwame admits on mic that this conversation fundamentally changed how he shows up as a speaker and negotiator.

„Leidenschaft und Resilienz sind für mich die wichtigste Währung im C‑Level.“ In dieser Episode von „Behind the C“ spricht Franz Kubbillum mit Nicolas Rampf, dem Deutschland-Geschäftsführer der Stock Spirits Group, einem führenden europäischen Spirituosenhersteller. Bekannt ist das Portfolio insbesondere durch Marken wie Sierra Tequila, Finsbury Gin und Helbing, ergänzt um ein breites Spektrum von Vodka, Whisky, Rum, Aperitifs und Distributionsmarken – mit einer klaren Wachstumsagenda über Innovation, Premiumisierung und ein starkes Portfolio-Spiel in Handel und Gastronomie. Besonderen Fokus legt Stock Spirits aktuell auf Ready‑to‑Drink Cocktails, das derzeit dynamischste Segment im Spirituosenmarkt– getrieben von Convenience, Bar-Qualität „to go“ und neuen Konsumanlässen. Nicolas Rampf zeichnet seinen Weg von der Kosmetikbranche über globale FMCG-Rollen bis hin zu Geschäftsführerpositionen bei Bacardi und heute Stock Spirits nach – und erklärt, warum ihn die Aussicht, in Deutschland „etwas aufzubauen, statt nur zu verwalten“, in die Spirituosenwelt gezogen hat. Er spricht über die Rolle von Handel und Gastronomie für Markenaufbau, die wachsende Bedeutung von achtsamem Konsum, niedrigeren Alkoholgehalten und alkoholfreien Alternativen sowie darüber, wie Innovation heute konsequent von Konsumentendaten und Community-Feedback ausgeht. Gleichzeitig gibt er persönliche Einblicke in Führung im C‑Level: warum Leidenschaft und Resilienz für ihn zentrale Erfolgsfaktoren sind, weshalb man sich von Titeln lösen und auf Inhalte fokussieren sollte und wie Meditation für ihn zu einem praktischen „Lifehack“ im Managementalltag geworden ist. Weitere Fragen, die Rampf in dieser Episode beantwortet, sind: - Wie verändern Ready‑to‑Drink Cocktails, Premiumisierung und der Wunsch nach achtsamem, teilweise alkoholfreiem Konsum den Spirituosenmarkt – und wie reagiert Stock Spirits darauf? - Welche Rolle spielen Gastronomie und Handel im Markenaufbau – vom ersten Aperitif-Erlebnis an der Bar bis zur Verlängerung ins Regal und nach Hause? - Wie versteht er moderne Führung im C‑Level – zwischen unternehmerischer Verantwortung, Aufbauarbeit im Private-Equity-Umfeld, persönlicher Resilienz, Feedbackkultur und eigenen Routinen wie Meditation?

Chapter 5 has us going back in time to share Desi Arnaz' road to Hollywood;  which, if you don't know, is more than a little surprising.  And scary.  And sad.  And then more than a little hopeful as “picking oneself up by the bootstraps” is an understatement.  From growing up in Cuba, surviving the 1933 Revolution, playing in rumba bands including with Xavier Cugat, drinking Bacardi rum with Bing Crosby, introducing the conga to Miami and New York, rubbing elbows with debutantes and Al Capone, to playing THE Latin footballer in Rodgers' and Hart's ‘Too Many Girls,' that Broadway hit becoming an RKO movie, Desi Arnaz proves his precursors to ‘I Love Lucy' are also well worth chatting about.  Please chime in here and/or on Instagram @fromoutofthepastpodcast with your questions & comments, or just sharing your love of Lucille Ball and her road to ‘I Love Lucy!'  Thanks for listening ...

Vierzig Mal auf der ITB, das klingt nach viel Berlin Erfahrung. Auf dem Messegelände kenne ich mich wirklich gut aus. Nur im Rest von Berlin? Das wird jetzt anders. Berlin – Pariser Platz und Brandenburger Tor – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Berlin, ganz anders Auch nach 40 Jahren bin ich noch Laie, was Berlin-Touren betrifft. Logisch, das Brandenburger Tor, den Reichstag, den Gendarmenmarkt, natürlich „Kudamm“ und  Alexanderplatz und diverse Ecken in Charlottenburg, Wilmersdorf oder Moabit kenne ich. Und da berichtet Kollegin Grit Schwarzenburg beim Treffen in Berlin so ganz nebenbei, sie habe ein Buch geschrieben über sehr viele kuriose Orte in und um Berlin. Das war die Geburtsstunde dieses Podcasts. Selfie: Podcast-Produktion in Berlin zur ITB – Foto: Grit Schwarzenburg Bin ick eine Berliner:in? Wenn das für John F. Kennedy galt, müsste es auch für Grit gelten. Aber sie ist ehrlich und sagt auch ganz offen, dass sie keine Berlinerin ist. Es bleibt ungeklärt, ab wann man Berlinerin sein darf. Immerhin lebt sie schon 22 Jahre hier. Ich würde das ja durchgehen lassen, aber manch Berliner sieht das eventuell anders. Immerhin, sie kennt sich inzwischen ziemlich gut aus. Sie sagt: mann und frau müsse sich erst an Berlin gewöhnen. Der Schlusssatz ihres Vorworts sticht mir ins Auge: Berlin ist widersprüchlich, unpraktisch, wunderbar.  Es ist der ideale Einstieg. Natürlich will ich wissen, welcher vorgestellte Ort denn am widersprüchlichsten, welcher am unpraktischsten und welcher am wunderbarsten sei. Und schon sind wir mitten im Buch. Große Sehenswürdigkeiten kann jeder – Berlin mal ganz kurios und ganz eigen – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Ein Buch für Fortgeschrittene? Wer zum ersten Mal „inne Hauptstadt“ ist, braucht neben diesem Buch auf jeden Fall noch einen Guide für die großen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Die kommen nämlich nur am Rande vor und das auch nur mit ausgefallenen Storys am Rande. Klar, wir reden darüber, wie ist denn Idee zum Buch entstanden und gewachsen ist und wie ihre Auswahl der kuriosen Orte zustande kam. Ich habe bewusste Kontraste entdeckt. Zum Beispiel: Karlshorst als KGB-Zentrale und eine Seite weiter der Teufelsberg im Grunewald als NSA Abhörstation. Beide Orte haben zudem eine Nazivergangenheit. Rohre, Park Inn und Alexanderplatz – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Aber da ist auch der Alexanderplatz mit dem „Hotel Park Inn“, dem ehemaligen „Hotel Stadt Berlin“, mit 37 Etagen ein Paradebau aus der DDR-Zeit. Was oben auf dem Dach wartet, ist ein typisches Beispiel für kuriose Orte. Grit erzählt im Podcast, welches Abenteuer in wahrhaft luftiger Höhe erlebte und was jeder Tourist nachvollziehen kann, wenn er denn schwindelfrei ist. Wer sich da nicht so sicher ist, schaut sich am besten die berühmte „Weltzeituhr“ an, die auch heute noch gerne als Treffpunkt auf dem Alexanderplatz dient. Alexanderplatz mit Weltzeituhr – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Unbekanntes, Verstecktes und Attraktives Erlebt mit Autorin Grit Schwarzenburg das etwas andere Berlin. Wie wäre es mit einer Kirche, deren Fenster aus Gin-Flaschen entstanden sind? Es gibt Tipps für den Besuch von Wandlitz, der ehemaligen Wohnsiedlung der DDR-Elite. Es wartet das Gegenstück der Britzer Gärten, die mal Bundesgartenschaugelände waren. Die „Gärten der Welt“ sind ein einmalig schöner Garten, Park, Spielplatz am Rande von Marzahn. Echte DDR-Attraktion: Gärten der Welt – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Und offensichtlich gibt es auch Einiges zum Thema „Treppenwitz der Weltgeschichte“. Stichwort: Neue Nationalgalerie und die Baupläne des berühmten Bauhausarchitekten Mies van der Rohe. Fast niemand kann erklären, was dieser Bau mit Kuba und der einstigen Rumproduktion von Bacardi auf der Zuckerrohrinsel zu tun hat. Grit weiß es und folglich steht es im Buch. Große Sehenswürdigkeit: Gendarmenmarkt, Berlin-Mitte – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Die Reihe lässt sich beliebig fortsetzen: Ein Denkmal für Erwin Litfaß und seine Werbesäulen. Schöne Ecken wie den Victoriapark in Kreuzberg (Wasserfall inklusive) Eine Düne mitten in Wedding Diverse Lost Places in und um Berlin herum. Und auch von pinken Rohren überall in der Stadt und von ganz besonderen Müllkörben in der Stadt ist die Rede. Im Hotel übernachten kann jeder Auch Übernachtungstipps gibt es, von museal über „früher nass“, Weltraumkapseln, Baumhäuser, Weinfässer, ein Hotel „erotisch mehr als nur angehaucht“ oder schlicht ganz besondere und auch typische Pensionen. Kurioses wartet, selbst wenn es ums Bett für die Nacht geht. Netzwerk für lange Strecken: Berliner S-BAhn – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Mein Tipp: Wer selber liest, ist eindeutig im Vorteil. Natürlich haben wir nicht über alle Inhalte geredet, aber ich weiß jetzt, dass ich, diverse dieser kuriosen Orte besuchen muss. Zeit mitbringen muss man dafür auch, denn die Wege können lang sein in der Riesenmetropole. Berlin ganz anders, aber subjektiv, wie ich's erwartet hätte. Klare Empfehlung: Das Buch und natürlich unser Podcast. Letzteren gibt's ja sogar kostenfrei. Information Grit Schwarzenburg Das Buch der kuriosen Orte in Berlin Bruckmann-Verlag, München € 22,99 ISBN: 978-3-7343-3180-0 Boulevard mit “Gold Else” – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILDThe post Podcast 310 – ITB-Talk & Buchtipp: Kuriose Orte in Berlin first appeared on Deutsches Reiseradio (German Travelradio).

Scott Kerr speaks to Stephanie Macleod, director of blending, Scotch whisky at Bacardi. Stephanie oversees the blending and innovation for some of the world's top luxury whisky brands, including Dewar's Scotch whisky and Aberfeldy single malt whisky. Macleod, one of the few women in her role, discusses her journey from food science student to Dewar's award-winning master blender—only the seventh one in brand's 180-year history. Stephanie talks about what goes into designing new whisky expressions to keep drinkers engaged and moving them up in price and status, tailoring expressions to compliment regional tastes and habits, why India is a major priority for Dewar's, and why she loves being a public-facing representative of the brand.

In this episode of The Man Cave Podcast, Dan Kasper opens up with a very personal tribute to Bacardi, the family dog who was part of nearly 17 years of memories, milestones, and life moments. From the early days of dating his wife to being part of their proposal, wedding, and welcoming their son home, Bacardi was truly part of the family. After sharing that heartfelt tribute, Dan shifts to football and breaks down the latest Green Bay Packers moves ahead of NFL free agency, including the trade for linebacker Zaire Franklin and the decision to re-sign Sean Ryan. What do these moves mean for the Packers roster? Could they signal the end for players like Quay Walker or Elton Jenkins? And what might be next for Green Bay as the new league year approaches? Dan dives into the roster implications, salary cap flexibility, and what these early moves could mean for the Packers’ strategy in free agency and the upcoming NFL Draft.

Building a real brand isn't about playing it safe — it's about testing, failing, learning, and trusting your instincts. In this episode of Right About Now, Ryan Alford sits down with Brett Berish, CEO of Sovereign Brands, to unpack how he built global spirits brands like Bumbu, Deacon Whiskey, Bel-Air Rosé, and McQueen Gin by doing the opposite of what the industry expected. Brett explains why he stopped trying to compete with giants like Bacardi or Jack Daniels and instead leaned into authenticity, taste-first product development, and bold packaging. He compares building businesses to comedians refining jokes — constantly reacting to audiences, tweaking the approach, and evolving until something truly lands From navigating America's rigid three-tier alcohol system to building brands in over 80 countries, Brett shares hard-earned lessons about flexibility, leadership, and believing in products before the market catches up. This episode covers: • Why no one believed in Brett's brands at launch • How taste matters more than celebrity endorsements • Why packaging is part of the brand experience • How failure shaped his leadership style • Building teams of self-starters, not followers • Why letting products “breathe” unlocked global growth • Turning personal struggle into purpose If you're building anything — a company, a product, or a personal brand — this conversation offers a masterclass in resilience, creativity, and trusting what makes you different.

Beverage has moved from a supporting role to a real revenue driver in hotel F&B, and that shift isn't accidental. #NoVacancyNews I'm joined by Adrian Biggs, Director of Advocacy at Bacardi, to talk through what their latest global trends report reveals about how — and when — guests are actually drinking. This isn't guesswork. Bacardi builds this report using global ambassador insight, consumer research across multiple countries, and real operator behavior. The result is a clearer picture of where beverage demand is heading and how hotel bars can respond. What stood out most to me is how timing, intentional drinking, and experience now matter as much as what's in the glass. Afternoon drinking is rising, cocktails are getting lighter and more deliberate, and guests expect bars to deliver something worth remembering — not just something strong. What we cover:

Dylan looks back at her conversation with Woody Harrelson as he shares details on reprising his role in the popular ‘Now You See Me' series and talks about a possible on-screen reunion with his longtime friend Matthew McConaughey.

Leaking barrels have been a problem for whisky makers going back generations, and just finding the bad barrels is the biggest part of the problem. Now, a test project involving Royal Barkla, a Boston Robotics robot dog equipped with an ethanol sensor, is underway at the John Dewar & Sons Poniel maturation campus near Glasgow. The robotic dog alerts its human operators when it discovers a leaking barrel, and so far, the test has been a success. We'll talk with Bacardi's Angus Holmes about the project on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, no layoffs are expected from the shutdown of the Jim Beam Distillery in Kentucky for 2026, while Scotch whisky global sales are down for the third straight year. 

Gareth's been a mate and fellow expat-in-New-York for a longish time, but I ran into him again recently when he hosted a mega-fancy private dinner in the already-mega-fancy members' area of private club Casa Tua, a dinner which I gatecrashed in a genteel manner, as my apartment was unexpectedly full of women playing mahjong. Gareth was the consummate host, introducing the 2025 special edition of Aberfeldy single malt, the rather delicious 18-Year-Old Bolgheri Tuscan Finish, and it occurred to me - after more than a few drams - that he'd be a fun guest on the show. We caught up* on all things expat, his origin story in Guildford, differences in bartending in the UK vs NY, how his milk punch is better than both Nico de Soto's and Eamon Rockey's, modern bartender education, why ICE are about to arrest him for smuggling explosives (and Christmas pudding) into the USA, his go-to order in a bar, and a whole lot more, tasted our way through three Aberfeldy releases including the aforementioned Super Tuscan finish, then we went for pints at the Dead Rabbit's holiday pop-up, Jingle Jangle, and then a couple more at the excellent Lucky Tiger. *At Bacardi's PR firm's NY office: shout-out to Nike Communications! Enjoy!Gareth's IG: https://www.instagram.com/smokeymcgowan/Aberfeldy's IG: https://www.instagram.com/aberfeldy/ Get in touch with Duff!Podcast business enquiries: consulting@liquidsolutions.org (PR friends: we're only interested in having your client on if they can talk for a couple of hours about OTHER things besides their prepared speaking points or their new thing, whatever that is.

Robert's a swashbuckling figure even by liquor biz standards: son of a fighter pilot, he grew up in England, set up a chain of radio stations across Europe in his youth, ran an agency, then slipped sideways into the liquor biz (armed only with a degree in languages) and climbed the greasy pole at Bacardi for 26 years, ending up as CEO of North America, after stints running the business in Moscow and Asia, among others. In 2015, with another Bacardi refugee, Juan Rovira, RFR founded Samson & Surrey, a craft brand incubator which acquired Tequila Ocho, Mezcal Vago, Bluecoat Gin, Widow Jane whiskey, FEW whiskey and Brenne whisky and then applied RFR & Juan's expertise to grow the brands, before Samson & Surrey was itself acquired by Heaven Hill in 2022. (Full disclosure: RFR & Juan were both still running Samson & Surrey in May 2023, when they hired Mrs Duff to be their head of advocacy). We've had a quick drink together here and there but I've wanted to have a longer chat for ages, and we finally managed to plan it in - not easily, as, by his own admission, RFR sucks at being retired and is working harder than ever, helping (among other things) Filthy Foods grow. We chatted about marketing, NPDs, what's changed in the liquor biz, the fallacy of research, Dick Bradsell's branding genius, why packaging rules, and a whole lot more.

Welcome back!  In this inspiring episode of So Ambitious, we sit down with Ingrid Best, founder of IBest Wines, to unpack her bold journey from corporate spirits executive to visionary wine entrepreneur. Ingrid reveals how her time in South Africa unlocked her creative superpower, why she walked away at the height of her career to launch her own brand, and how she's rewriting the rules of storytelling, brand-building, and legacy creation. From the messy middle of entrepreneurship to navigating naysayers, fundraising challenges, and staying true to her love for wine, Ingrid shares the lessons that keep her grounded, ambitious, and committed to lifting others along the way.

They want to see the messy middle.” – Ingrid Best “I walked away from the height of my career because I finally had the faith, courage, and ambition to bet on myself.” – Ingrid Best “Legacy for me is equity, global storytelling, and proving that big acquisitions can close the wealth gap.” – Ingrid Best RESOURCES Ingrid Best  IG | @Ms_Ibest Ibest Wines  IG | @ibestwines/  Felecia Hatcher IG | @feleciahatcher Black Ambition IG | @blackambitionprize So Ambitious is produced by EPYC Media
