Dan Navarro Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson They say you can never go home- they didn't have their old pal Dan Navarro on their show––took me right back to shared memories with Chloris Leachman in the living room, the Mets winning a 2015 playoff game at Dodger Stadium (unlike today), seeing Lori Lieberman at The Grammy Museum, Mike Finnegan at The Levitt Pavilion, NAMM hangs, my book launch, a 12 Step meeting, good food, a few of these here shows before and during the pandemic… It's always warm and comfy as if no time has passed. We touched on Dan's early days, his creative parents, his famous cousin, Dave, a horrific family tragedy, starting out on horns, finding his voice, literally, writing songs, being a singing waiter at The Great American Food & Beverage Company, with a host of others who found success, including Eric Lowen, who would become his partner, and begin their relationship co-writing the iconic, We Belong, and selling it to Pat Benetar, before it came to have a life of its own, putting out 12 albums, touring for decades, also writing for the Bangles and others, before Lowen's untimely death. Dan, through it all, also voiced TV shows, including The Family Guy and American Dad, still to this day, as well as over 100 commercials, sang in the films Happy Feet, two Ice Age pictures, Rio, The Lorax, to name just some. The secret to his success? Go for it. Persistence. The only answer is “Yes.” It's worked pretty well for him. Dan told innumerable stories to exemplify his point. A man of service, Dan has served as SAG-AFTRA's National Vice President of Recording Artists/Singers, and is still on the board, he is a Trustee of the AFM & SAG-AFTRA Intellectual Property Rights Distribution Fund, is a member of the Mechanical Licensing Collective's Unclaimed Royalties Oversight Committee, and is on the board of the Artists rights alliance, and recently spoke before the House Judiciary Committee on AI, where, in solution, he has been quoted requesting, the 3 Cs: Consent, Credit, Compensation. Dan treated us to a passionate We Belong, and a gorgeous Rose In the WIndow, his collaboration with the late Preston Sturges from his latest album, Horizon Line. This time with Dan was heartwarming and soul-filling and will stay with me for a long time to come. Being in Dan's good company is always inspiring, always fun, even if we are in the midst of our Mets/Dodgers rivalry. Go Mets!

Grubb, Bakalar, Dan, and Mike take the dump truck down a path of ugly cars, pretty denim, and water. ...JUST water. The inorganic compound with the chemical formula H2O. The transparent, tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless chemical substance. The main constituent of Earth's hydrosphere and the fluids of all known living organisms. The vital component for all known forms of life, despite not providing food energy or organic micronutrients. The thing where its chemical formula, H2O, indicates that each of its molecules contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms, connected by covalent bonds. The substance where hydrogen atoms are attached to the oxygen atom at an angle of 104.45°. You know it on Earth as a solid, a liquid, and a gas, in which it forms precipitation in the form of rain and aerosols in the form of fog. It pops up as clouds, which consist of suspended droplets of water and ice. When finely divided, crystalline ice may precipitate in the form of snow. You might see its gaseous states, steam or water vapor. It's what covers about 71% of the Earth's surface, with seas and oceans making up most of the water volume (about 96.5%). Small portions of water occur as groundwater (1.7%), in the glaciers and the ice caps of Antarctica and Greenland (1.7%), and in the air as vapor, clouds (consisting of ice and liquid water suspended in air), and precipitation. Water moves continually through the water cycle of evaporation, transpiration (evapotranspiration), condensation, precipitation, and runoff, usually reaching the sea. It plays an important role in the world economy, since approximately 70% of the fresh water used by humans goes to agriculture. It's in your house right now; large quantities of water, ice, and steam are used for cooling and heating in industry and homes. Not just constructive, but destructive, it's an excellent solvent for a wide variety of substances, both mineral and organic; as such, it is widely used in industrial processes and in cooking and washing. Water in its many forms can be a key part of your daily entertainment if you love swimming, pleasure boating, boat racing, surfing, sport fishing, diving, ice skating, snowboarding, or skiing. It's water. Just. F***ing. Water.

In this edition of the AAP Podcast, Chris Versace sits down with Yerbaé Beverage (YERBF) CEO Todd Gibson, who, having sold multiple beverage businesses to the likes of Coca-Cola (KO) and PepsiCo (PEP), is no stranger to the global beverage business. Todd explains why Yerbaé is focused on healthy and natural ingredients for its products resulting in a very different offering compared to those from Monster Beverage (MNSTR) and Celsius Fitness Drinks (CELH). Todd also discusses Yerbae's current distribution footprint and where it's going as well as why the company prunes its beverage portfolio every year to make room for new offerings. The two also talk about Yerbae's definition of clean products, the company's five pillars, and how it also develops its new flavors. Regarding our position in PepsiCo, Todd shares inflation pressure in the beverage industry continues to level off with notable improvement in prices for cans and other raw materials and freight costs. That suggests we could see some additional margin leverage at PepsiCo during the strongest quarter of the year for its beverage and snacking business.

Many places you go these days, liquor stores, co-ops and even convenience stores, you see them: colorful cans of CBD and THC drinks, recently legal to sell and consume in Minnesota.  And when happy hour comes around, I often finding myself reaching for one of them instead of a glass of wine. Unlike with alcohol, there's no hangover, I sleep better and feel great in the morning after a couple of these. When I heard that Plift hemp-infused beverages was a Black owned-and-operated company, I started asking for it by name. You can get it in stores around Minnesota as well as five other states, and soon to be in Wisconsin. Plift hemp-infused beverages come in a variety of fun flavors.  There's juicy grapefruit and crisp ginger that taste a bit like natural soda. Guests at a recent dinner party reacted as they took their first sips.“I don't know what it is but I thought it was going to taste more like sparkling water, but it tastes more like pop,” said one guest.Another guest had fun saying the name aloud and then gave his verdict: “It's a pretty good beverage. I'd give it …”  He paused to take another taste. “A nine. It's not bad. I don't want to go too crazy with the rating. It's good though. I like it!”Plift also contains four milligrams of THC per can which offers a light buzz. This relatively small amount of cannabinoids, the psychoactive compounds in cannabis. Co-owner Todd Harris calls it “sessionable.” It's a brewing term for an alcoholic beverage that is light, refreshing and easy to drink, without too much inebriating effect. But unlike sessionable beer, there is no alcohol in the making of Plift. “I grew up in a family where my parents were amazing parents,” says Harris, who was born and grew up in Minneapolis. “But alcohol was prevalent. And so I quickly realized that I was always one drink away from being an alcoholic myself, as well as how alcohol played a role in communities of color. And so I said, ‘Let's go build a really good product that provides optionality for those who want ways to unwind that don't include alcohol.'” ‘Easier to get alcohol than a square meal'The negative impact of alcohol on communities of color, and in particular the Black community, is well-documented.According to the American Psychological Association, African Americans drink less, start drinking later and abuse alcohol less frequently than other races and cultures. However Black people suffer from more negative consequences of alcohol use, including more injuries and illnesses. More potent forms of alcohol, such as malt liquor and 40oz beers have historically been marketed disproportionately to Black communities. “In communities of color,” Harris goes on, “it's easier for people to get their hands on alcohol and poison than it is to get their hands on a square meal.”So he and his partner Glenn McElfresh, both fans of cannabis, decide to make what they think of as a “viable alternative” to alcohol, one arguably with fewer negative consequences. “And if we can make it at a price point that becomes affordable and accessible and approachable, then that's even better,” Harris adds. Social justice issueThe duo really think of their product, and cannabis in general, as a social justice issue, and very one that is currently super topical with the shifting marijuana legislation nationwide. This includes Minnesota's recent legalization of recreational use for people aged 21 and above.Plift decided early on that its active ingredient would come from hemp, and Harris says he has no intention of moving into marijuana. But he's watching the changing market forces in Minnesota.Historically, Black people have received the short end of the stick where it comes to marijuana use in the legal system. Black people outnumber white people four-to-one in marijuana arrests according to NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.And, says Harris, just because marijuana is legal here and in other states around the country, it doesn't mean Black people are suddenly poised to win in the marketplace. In fact, Harris predicts quite the opposite.“You're going to see scarcity of Black founders,” he said. “You're going to see the literal gentrification of cannabis.”Currently, Black ownership makes up less than two percent in the cannabis industry, according to a 2021 jobs report in Leafly, one of the leading sources on cannabis use and education. Plift is one of just a handful of Black-owned cannabis companies in the state of Minnesota. It is currently producing about one thousand cases of product per week, but say it is growing quickly. Worry for the futureHarris said they are cautiously optimistic about their position in the marketplace. Because of its much lower barriers to entry and the fact that it's already a federally legal substance, Harris and McElfresh decided to derive their cannabinoids from hemp.Thanks to that lower barrier to entry — about $1,000 for a license compared to tens of thousands for a marijuana license — about 60 sixty percent of the hemp companies in the state are owned by minorities or women, according to a study by the Minnesota Cannabis Association.But Harris worries Plift's decision to go with hemp might ultimately put their company at a disadvantage.“Corporate cannabis companies want to have a monopoly on the marketplace,” Harris explains. “And low potency THC from hemp competes directly with both medical and recreational marijuana derived THC products.”Harris said special interest groups are currently lobbying to restrict access to hemp for companies like his, and there's one reason for that: the big operations want to corner the market. “I think the fact that in 2023 we still have people who look like me locked up for things that many, many people are getting very wealthy on — mainly middle aged white men — is a travesty. And it's just another instance in how policy politics in our systems continue to fail Black people and Black men in general.” Harris worries that as marijuana continues to be legalized around the country, people of color will not benefit at large. This despite legislative calls to create opportunities for the communities most adversely affected by the war on drugs to benefit from the opportunities  offered by business possibilities created by  marijuana legalization. “There's not a good example in the country, yet in the previous 22 states that legalize adult use marijuana that can point to how communities of color in particular are benefiting.” Harris says he wants everyone to carefully consider that as the marijuana laws and landscape continue to shift, probably for years to come.“Hemp is a path forward [for Black owners]. Low potency, THC derived edibles, consumables, that's a path forward that anyone can play in, and corporate cannabis does not want the world to know that.” Harris says he dreams of one day selling the business with the goal of providing employees and families with financial security and generational wealth. However, as some Minnesotans explore the new landscape where marijuana can be enjoyed widely, Harris urges cannabis users to continue thinking of marijuana legislation, and Black presence in the marketplace, as a social justice issue.

About the Show:"It's far easier to walk into a room and admit that you know nothing than to pretend you know everything.” - Krista CloudOn the I Am Northwest Arkansas podcast, host Randy Wilburn is joined by Krista Cloud, who co-founded the Natural State Beverage Company. The discussion revolves around their remarkable business journey and the choice of making Northwest Arkansas their base. Their narrative underscores the impact of community backing and the fulfillment that comes with pursuing one's passion.Krista and her life and business partner, Ty Cloud, discovered their affection for Arkansas during their outdoor explorations within the state. Their desire to provide non-alcoholic drink options for non-beer drinkers sparked the idea to craft their own soda and kombucha. The overwhelmingly positive feedback they received at a bike-packing event convinced them to evolve their pastime into a business.Scaling up their production without compromising quality was one of the significant obstacles they encountered.

As an AI language model, I don't have personal experiences or preferences like humans do. However, I can certainly provide you with information about popular beverages from the 1990s that many people enjoyed. Here are a few notable ones:Surge: Surge was a citrus-flavored soda introduced by The Coca-Cola Company in the 1990s. It gained popularity among teenagers and young adults due to its high caffeine content and bold taste.Crystal Pepsi: Crystal Pepsi was a clear cola beverage introduced by PepsiCo in the early 1990s. It was essentially a caffeine-free version of Pepsi with a unique transparent appearance. While it garnered attention and curiosity, its popularity declined, and it was eventually discontinued.Orbitz: Orbitz was a fruit-flavored beverage introduced by The Clearly Food & Beverage Company in 1997. It was distinctive for its suspended edible colored balls, which created a visually intriguing drink. Despite its novelty, Orbitz had a relatively short lifespan on the market.Snapple: Snapple is a brand of flavored tea and juice drinks that gained popularity in the 1990s. Known for its wide range of flavors and quirky marketing campaigns, Snapple became a popular choice for those seeking refreshing and non-carbonated beverages.Jolt Cola: Jolt Cola was an energy drink that gained popularity in the 1990s. It was known for its high caffeine content, offering a more potent jolt of energy compared to traditional colas. Jolt Cola became popular among students and gamers seeking an extra boost.Hi-C Ecto Cooler: Hi-C Ecto Cooler was a green citrus-flavored drink introduced in 1987 but gained widespread popularity in the 1990s due to its tie-in with the "Ghostbusters" franchise. It featured characters from the movie on its packaging and became a nostalgic favorite for many.Surgeon General's Warning: Surgeon General's Warning was a non-alcoholic drink that mimicked the look of a cigarette pack. It was a novelty beverage and not widely consumed, but it garnered attention for its unconventional packaging.These are just a few examples of popular beverages from the 1990s. Each had its own unique appeal and left an impression on those who enjoyed them during that time ★ Support this podcast ★

Proud Sponsor of The Small Business Origins Podcast In this episode, we learn all about Kevin Sherman, CEO of Tractor Beverage Company, as he discusses his experience working in the beverage industry, including creating the first sugar-free beverage for children at a previous company. Listen to his journey to becoming a board member and eventually CEO of Tractor Beverage Company, an organic non-GMO beverage company founded by three entrepreneurs, one of whom is a farmer with a talent for developing and designing beverages. The founders showed humility in recognizing their lack of experience in the industry and bringing on the speaker to help execute their vision. The company aims to provide healthier options for consumers, particularly in restaurants, universities, hospital systems, and corporate settings. They prioritize label transparency and avoiding preservatives but do not offer sugar-free options due to difficulties in making them taste good without harmful substitutes. Chapters: 00:06:00 Entrepreneur's Origin Story: Overcoming Adversity Through Business 00:12:55 Organic Non-GMO Beverages With No Preservatives And No Sugar-free Option 00:17:03 The Founders' Humility In Recruiting An Experienced Management Team For Their Beverage Company. 00:23:49 Importance Of A Strong Team For Company Success 00:26:35 The Virtue Of Justice In Entrepreneurship 00:33:25 Commitment And Fortitude In Entrepreneurship And Small Business Ownership 00:36:03 Support For Small Businesses And Entrepreneurs Tweetables: "We're the only ones doing completely organic non GMO.

No preservatives in there." - Kevin Sherman "Look, the founders and I, and again, I go back to this because I think it's really important for everyone to hear on this, especially from an entrepreneurial standpoint, you can have the best idea in the world, but you've got to possess the humility to bring in the right people and the right team because you can have the best idea." - Kevin Sherman Links Mentioned: Tractor Beverage Company Website Tractor Beverage Company Twitter Tractor Beverage Company Instagram Tractor Beverage Company Facebook Kevin Sherman LinkedIn Beefy Marketing Website Small Business Origins Online John The Marketer's Links Sponsored Blog

Grammy-nominated Hip Hop artist Jack Harlow recently invested in a beverage company based in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky…but did he choose the right one? When you think about Kentucky and CPG…what comes to mind? Bourbon, right? The dozens of distilleries that make up the Kentucky Bourbon Trail are visited by a few million annually and the State has more than 11 million barrels of Bourbon ageing in warehouses. But just like how Jack Harlow feels a responsibility to make sure people don't think of Louisville hip hop and only think of one white guy…maybe he also doesn't want the Kentucky CPG industry to only be about bourbon. Which brings us to the recent collection of announcements from the Louisville-based energy drink brand Clear/Cut Phocus. The energy drink brand decided to drop the “Clear/Cut” part, brought on Jack Harlow as a co-owner, changed its CEO to a previous Bang Energy SVP of Sales, completely overhauled the visual identity of Phocus, and reformulated the drinks and stripped the portfolio down to a single new flavor. This for all intents and purposes…this wasn't a pivot…this is now a completely new company. Jack Harlow's strategy of buying into an existing brand isn't totally unique but is also a bit different than the norm of celebrity packaged goods behavior. Regardless, I think Jack Harlow would have been better off investing (and partnering) with Congo Brands...you know the portfolio company that owns the beverage names: Alani Nu, PRIME, and 3D Energy. But how about we don't get caught up on the woulda, coulda, shoulda decisions of Jack Harlow. Maybe it's better to focus on if a rapper is even the “right talent” to be combined with energy drinks being the “right product” in this celebrity packaged goods equation because rapper-themed energy drinks have a multi-decade track record of poor performance. So, to that…I wish Jack Harlow and Phocus all the luck in breaking the hip hop energy drink curse. Regardless, fortune favors the bold and, increasingly, the many celebrities who've made the leap into the CPG industry…so we will just have to wait and see what happens.

Melchior George v. Molson Coors Beverage Company USA, LLC

For a large part of his early life, today's guest lived in the shadow of his very popular, but very different, older brother. It wasn't until he found his passion for technology in high school, something he found an immediate aptitude for, did he start to come into his own identity, and gain the confidence to pursue his own path in life.Entering technology just post the dot com bubble was humbling. From working on innovative projects to, having to say yes to anything, even gig-economy moving jobs, he did what it took to survive another day.Many years later, a stressful exit from a technology company he co-founded coupled with a physically demanding high-altitude hiking trip, caused a lot of compound health issues to come to the surface. With traditional western approaches not working, a podcast on the healing powers of cannabis piqued his interest; our gust decided to revisit the plant. After a lot of exploration, coupled with his natural tendency to dive deep, he eventually found his cure. With his health on the mend, his exit complete, a lot of deep knowledge of the cannabis plant, a working product, a proven but under-supplied product category, and the funds to get it off the ground; the door was wide open for this next adventure in entrepreneurship. Please enjoy the Founder's Journey of creating a cannabis beverage company with Jason Reposa of Good FeelsProfessional Summary:Jason Reposa is a lifelong dreamer and the Founder and CEO of Good Feels. The mantra ‘Do No Harm' has become the guiding principle that steers his serial entrepreneurism after 20+ years of experience in software development and as the lead developer of multiple nationally-recognized brands. Jason transitioned into the cannabis industry two years ago to address personal ailments and is now focused on spreading Good Feels to all. His tenacity to overcome challenges comes in part from his mother who immigrated from Honduras when she was 16 without knowing how to speak English. Growing up in a family without a lot of technology, Jason found himself doing whatever he could to get his hands on old computers. Later he would graduate with a bachelor's degree in computer science from Worcester Polytechnic Institute and become a professor of computer programming. Jason has developed his skills as an innovator and leader in two CTO positions. Jason co-founded the personal finance tool MyBankTracker as their CTO before transitioning to CEO. He also co-founded the digital product agency AD:60, which developed products for Stash, Christie's, Nutrisystem, Songza, and many more. Each month Jason volunteers time on the Medway Energy and Sustainability Committee (MESC) in his hometown where he's a resource to many locals on recycling. He is also a proud husband and father of three children. From his very first lemonade stand to becoming a 2nd time CEO, Jason has always pushed himself to become a better technologist, business leader, and creator of positive change.Company Summary:Good Feels brings people together with their fast-acting line of ready-to-drink cannabis-infused seltzers and go-anywhere beverage enhancers. An alternative to alcohol, smoking, and vaping, Good Feels products have zero sugar, and zero calories and are flavored with essential oils from real fruit.

Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older: No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week. One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink. Abstinence from alcohol Abstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past. Benefits of “low-risk” drinking Following these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. If you' are unsure about whether or not you have alcohol use disorder, please visit the NIAAA for more information.

Mohammed and Rahim Diallo are true definitions of Grit Rising. They left Guinea, West Africa at a young age and now run a beverage company/cafe that they started years ago. In 2015, after years of research and development, the brothers created Ginjan, a cold-pressed beverage made from pure and organic ginger named after their lunchtime beverage as children. Ginjan can be consumed hot, cold, or mixed into a cocktail. It is currently available at 90 stores in the New York City metro area, as well as Whole Foods Market stores across NYC and Long Island. The beverage is also sold on drinkginjan.com in six- and 12-pack quantities along with a monthly subscription option. The opening of The Ginjan Cafe in Harlem, New York marked another milestone for the brothers. The cafe showcases local and African-made products including coffee, juices, beer and wine, and some food offerings.
