Podcasts about Dasani

Geoff shares how Gong cha grew from a single tea shop in Taiwan to over 2,200 locations across 33 countries by staying obsessive about product quality, franchisee passion, and delivering a personalized guest experience at every touchpoint. He breaks down what it takes to scale a globally loved brand into the US market, how Gong cha 2.0 is redefining the in-store experience with technology and design, and why consistency from the tea farm to the handoff moment is the foundation of lasting brand loyalty. Welcome to Elevating Brick and Mortar. A podcast about how operations and facilities drive brand performance. On today's episode, we talk with Geoff Henry, President of the Americas at Gong cha. With over 20 years in the beverage industry spanning Colgate-Palmolive, Coca-Cola, and Jamba Juice, Geoff brings a rare combination of global brand-building expertise and franchise operations know-how to one of the world's fastest-growing bubble tea concepts. Guest Bio: Geoff is a seasoned executive with over 20 years of experience leading many of the world's most recognized consumer brands, including Jamba, Coca-Cola, Colgate, Dasani, Dunkin' bottled coffee, and Gold Peak and Honest teas. Adept at scaling businesses and cultivating collaborative teams, Geoff joined Gong cha in 2023 as President of the Americas region—which includes over 400 locations in the territory, and 225 in the U.S. Under his leadership, Gong cha grew its U.S. store count by 19% YOY, was ranked #1 in the Tea category on Entrepreneur magazine's prestigious Franchise 500® list for the third consecutive year (2024), and awarded category winner of Top Food & Beverage Franchises in the Global Franchise Awards (2023). Prior to taking the helm at Gong cha, Geoff was President of Jamba, where he successfully integrated the company into Focus Brands and led its digital transformation. During his tenure, he returned the brand to growth—driving topline sales, and increasing its development pipeline. Prior to Jamba, Geoff was a senior executive with Coca-Cola for over twelve years, where he oversaw the company's portfolio of water, tea and coffee brands for the U.S. He transformed their tea portfolio to capture the #2 market share position, while also pioneering the company's entrance into the ready-to-drink coffee category. Geoff received his undergraduate degree from Duke University and his MBA from Harvard Business School. He currently serves on the board of advisors for PayQuicker, a global payments platform.

What if the thing standing between you and financial freedom wasn't a lack of opportunity - it was the story you were telling yourself?   In this episode, I sat down with Kam Dasani (@ProfitWithKam), a futures and options trader who generates $3–5 million per year through his algorithmic trading platform, built with a team of ex-Goldman Sachs traders. But before the seven-figure income and the system, there was a version of Kam who had to demolish every limiting belief he had about money, markets, and what he was actually capable of.   We get into all of it: how he built a skill set from scratch, how the platform actually works, why most people never get there (hint: it's a mindset problem before it's a strategy problem), and what it really takes to treat trading like a business instead of a gamble.   If you've ever thought options trading was too complex, too risky, or just not for someone like you, this episode will make you rethink that entirely.   Tune in and follow Kam on Instagram: @ProfitWithKam   Get working capital for your business - revenued.com/juice Book your call with Neo Home Loanshttps://www.neoentrepreneurhomeloans.com/wealthjuice/ Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES

Is your water filter giving you something even more contaminated than what's flowing from the tap? Jessica Wynn pours us some facts on Skeptical Sunday.Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Jessica Wynn!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1307On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:Most US tap water meets or exceeds federal safety standards, but those regulations were written decades ago — meaning your water may be "safe" by outdated benchmarks that don't account for emerging threats like PFAS forever chemicals, agricultural runoff, and lead from aging infrastructure.A neglected water filter can become a breeding ground for bacteria, making your water dirtier than what comes straight from the tap — if you're not replacing your Brita, Pur, or other cartridge on schedule, you're essentially cultivating a miniature ecosystem in your fridge.The bottled water industry is largely repackaged tap water sold at a massive markup — brands like Dasani and Aquafina source from municipal supplies, and the FDA regulates bottled water less strictly than the EPA regulates what flows from your faucet.Scammers and pseudoscience have infiltrated the water filter market — from dishonest salespeople using chemical reagents to fake contamination in your home, to "alkaline" and "structured water" claims that have zero scientific backing, fear is the industry's most profitable product.You can take control of your water quality with a few simple, empowering steps — request your free Consumer Confidence Report from your local utility, test your water independently, match any filter you buy to the specific contaminants found, and look for NSF or WQA certification to ensure it actually does what it claims.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

I start the episode riding high off a homemade sandwich and the confidence only Martin's BBQ chips can give a man. From there, I immediately make a series of adult financial decisions I should not be allowed to make. I lock down a signed Jake Paul Pop Century card, talk myself into wearing it as a necklace, and openly admit I need my phone taken away before Facebook Marketplace and TikTok live sales ruin my life. This is what happens when you give someone adult money and internet access.Then we get into the storm. The storm of the century. The storm with a PR team. Winter Storm Fern. According to the internet, Pennsylvania is getting anywhere from one inch to ninety eight inches of snow, trees are exploding in Canada, and grocery stores are out of everything except Dasani. I break down the panic, the fake urgency, and the group hysteria while delivering the only six winter survival tips you will ever need. These tips are foolproof, medically questionable, and absolutely not approved by anyone with credentials.From there, we spiral into Soulja Boy's fashion empire, influencer politicians, and the idea of Farrah Abraham becoming the mayor of Texas. I question who is buying Soulja Boy shoes with his face on them, wonder how much money it would take to ruin my public reputation with a full outfit, and seriously consider a future where podcasts replace government. None of this feels fake anymore and that part is concerning.I wrap things up with a rapid fire run through Mission Impossible logic, why the mission is always possible, why the bad guy is usually HR, and why face masks solve every problem. I also shout out the return of Recap and Record with Los, where we are breaking down HBO's The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms every week. New episodes. New chaos. Same energy.Hit play. Hit subscribe. Post your snow pictures.Episode 220 is live.

Brand naming in 2026 is more complex, and more critical, than ever.David Placek, founder of Lexicon Branding (the team behind names like Swiffer, BlackBerry, Sonos, and Dasani), joins Focus Lab CEO Bill Kenney to explore the new frontiers of naming: from AI-driven processes and trademark saturation to global naming challenges and evolving consumer expectations.What you'll learn:How AI is reshaping naming workflows and client expectationsWhen a rename makes strategic sense (and when it doesn't)Why global names must be distinct, ownable, and emotionally resonantWhat's changed — and what still holds true — in naming todayWhether you're a CMO, founder, or brand strategist, this episode unpacks how to make smarter, more future-proof naming decisions.---Focus Lab is an established B2B brand agency that believes, without question, that the most successful companies are the ones who invest in branding.

Join the 'ProfitwitKam' Discord center: https://discord.gg/Cp4JSaCH --- In this episode, I sat down with Kam Dasani to talk about what it really feels like to be successful on paper but unfulfilled in real life. Kam shared how he climbed the corporate tech ladder, earned great money at a young age, and still realized he was underutilizing his potential and settling. We broke down why high earners often stay stuck, why active income matters before passive income, and how trading, crypto, and calculated risk helped Kam create real freedom without quitting everything overnight. This conversation is about mindset, risk tolerance, and building income streams that actually give you control over your time, money, and future. The conversation dives deep into: Why most professionals feel stuck despite high salaries The difference between active income vs passive income Why saving and index funds alone won't create real wealth How swing trading works for people with demanding jobs Risk tolerance, mindset, and why avoiding risk is the real danger How Cam built a team of elite traders instead of trying to be the smartest person in the room Why Bitcoin is misunderstood and how Cam personally allocates his money The psychology of fear, comfort zones, and identity shifts How to start small, protect downside risk, and build confidence over time   About Kam: Kam Dasani is the engine behind elite ex-Goldman Sachs traders who became a millionaire by age 30 through advanced algorithmic trading strategies.

It's mid-December, everyone's exhausted, and the podcast takes a hard turn into holiday chaos, Santa Village fallout, cursed t-shirts, and the revelation that someone out in the wild truly believed Coral may have once been married to a man. The gang processes this information… poorly.  This Week's Insanity:Santa Village Debrief: Bigger crowds, more vendors, snow machines, vegan banana cookies, and Coral dressed as Santa — complete with children, grown men, and at least one accidental husband moment.Holiday Logistics Spiral: Staff parties, book clubs, mystery bags, cookie swaps, pinball leagues, and a maybe-sorta Mikey Way signing that may have already happened.The Shirt: Jeff gifts Coral a deeply cursed t-shirt that must be blurred, beeped, and absolutely will be worn with no pants at some point in the near future.Gay News: Kim Kardashian invades Fortnite, confusing everyone. “Six-seven” discourse returns. No one knows what it means. Everyone argues anyway.What We're Watching: Slow Horses becomes the new obsession, Downton withdrawal continues, and Jeff unveils an aggressively detailed watchlist that proves he cannot relax.Coral's Corner: A coffee shop stranger asks if Coral was married… to a man. Cue existential offense, balls-out lunch posture, and a full recounting of a Thai massage experience that includes bars, gravity, surprise contortions, and an extremely tiny bottle of Dasani.Food Fixations: Chili crunch discourse, Erewhon shots, $700 immunity kits, and the slow realization that everyone here is unwell.Equal parts holiday fatigue, queer disbelief, and physical oversharing, this episode answers the question no one asked — and then asks about six more that cannot be answered.New episodes every Thursday.Only at Revenge Of — where Santa has pronouns, the shirts are dangerous, and no one thinks Coral was ever married to a dude.

Struggling with costs in your healthcare organization? Reach out to Michael.  Click Here for more info Journey to Financial Independence with Kam Dasani In this inspiring episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, we sat down with Kam Dasani to explore his journey from a high-paying corporate role in Silicon Valley to full financial independence through trading and investing. Kam shared how he transitioned from a $250,000 salary to a life of true freedom—where time, location, and purpose all align. His story offers valuable insights for anyone ready to step away from the corporate treadmill and design a life on their own terms. From Corporate Hustle to Freedom Kam opened up about leaving behind the demanding pace of Silicon Valley in pursuit of autonomy and balance. He shared how he built multiple income streams—from investing to trading—and how financial freedom granted him the ability to live life on his own schedule. The discussion reminded listeners that success isn't just about wealth; it's about having control over your time and energy. The Power of Location and Lifestyle Design We discussed the high costs and burnout culture of San Francisco compared to the slower, more fulfilling lifestyle Kam found in Dallas. He shared how geographic freedom has been key to his happiness and flexibility, proving that financial independence can also bring peace of mind. Trading, he noted, offered a career path that fit perfectly with his desire for flexibility and mobility. Smart Investing and the Role of Research We talked about the importance of doing deep research before making investment decisions. While AI tools can support the process, Kam and our team emphasized that critical thinking and due diligence remain essential. We also clarified that our discussion serves as educational insight, not financial advice. Risk-Free Trading Through Prop Firms Kam shared how he discovered prop firm trading after connecting with Mahul Patel, a former Goldman Sachs algorithm trader. Prop firms give traders access to leveraged capital with minimal personal risk—traders keep 80% of profits while risking only a small portion of their own funds. Kam explained how understanding this model opened doors to sustainable, low-risk trading opportunities. Futures Trading and Financial Leverage We explored futures trading, where markets run nearly 24/5, and discussed how this structure enables traders to maximize returns while maintaining low operational costs. Kam revealed that with about 10 hours of training per month, he learned strategies that outperformed many traditional side businesses. Together, we emphasized the discipline required to manage leveraged funds responsibly. Real Estate, Mentorship, and Managing Emotions The conversation turned to real estate, where we compared risk profiles and discussed the importance of mentorship—such as Kam's guidance from his uncle and professional brokers. Kam also reflected on how emotional regulation plays a crucial role in trading and investing success. His story of reaching millionaire status underscored the importance of mindset, patience, and mentorship in achieving financial goals. Final Reflections Kam's journey is a testament to the power of intentional living, strategic investing, and self-discipline. For those dreaming of leaving the 9-to-5 grind, this episode offers both inspiration and practical insight into how to make that transition responsibly and sustainably. Kam's bio: My name is Kam Dasani - I'm a top 1% Futures & Options trader who helps others escape the rat race through trading. If you think it's too good to be true, my team is ex-Goldman Sachs and we have $4M in capital that we are trading with. On this channel, I don't only talk about trading. I talk about (and show) the life that I've built through skills and connections. I interview others in similar spaces, as well as my clients who have seen success by trusting me.

Seema Dasani discusses her transformational work in holistic psychotherapy.  Her work is well-suited for people who feel ‘stuck' and want to live a more conscious life, a life strewn with a deeper sense of meaning and contentment. People usually come to her reporting symptoms of depression, anxiety and relationship challenges.   The technique she uses is called Eidetic Imagery which provides a visual and visceral way to access stuck and frozen hurts and pains so they can be examined, worked on and metabolized to enable a healing elixir to flow into the mind and body so true holistic healing can take place.

The book chronicles eight years in the life of Dasani Coates, a child in Brooklyn. Elliott shares what compelled her to spend that much time covering the story, and how Dasani's life exemplifies the challenges of being poor in America. Elliott also discusses some of the ethical considerations involved in reporting this complex and personal story. Originally Aired: 12/22/2023 The interview is part of the series “Conversations from the Sun Valley Writers' Conference” and was taped at the 2023 conference. Since 1995, the conference has been bringing together some of the world's most well-known and illuminating authors to discuss literature and life.

We just flew into Newark and, honestly, we're lucky to be alive. This week we're talking about the airport chaos (spoiler: the planes disappeared from radar??), a janitor who peed herpes into the office water cooler, and Kanye West suing his dentist over a nitrous oxide addiction. We also become accidental water snobs thanks to a deep dive into the world of water sommeliers (Dasani slander incoming), and yep - a patron at a Barstool Sports bar managed to pull off a full-on hate crime via bottle service and Dave Portnoy has some choice words for him. Also, Blake Lively is dressing like a cartoon detective again. Huge week. Follow us on Instagram @Laurasogar and @mae_planert and you can watch full video of the episodes on YouTube

Our show attracts danger, apparently. Today we get a surprise call from Corey, who used to do controlled burns in Wisconsin. Just because they're controlled doesn't mean they're not hot enough to melt metal. That's why you carry around water. One or two bottles of Dasani ought to do it. Learn more about your ad choices.

There was a lot of water in today's grid - in 4D, Obstacle for a would-be castle attacker, MOAT; 35D, Beverage with a Big Mac, perhaps, LARGECOKE; and in it's purest state, 46D, Bottled water brand, DASANI. Yet in spite of all that,this puzzle was far from wet, in fact, just the opposite: a stellar Monday with multiple LOL clues, a great way to start out the work week. Also, we have a terrific bit of listener mail, so for all that, and more(!), download, listen up, and ... enjoy.Show note imagery: the state seal of Maine (which Mike insists does have a whale, but it's under water so you can't see it

This week, we took over a high school homecoming, and let me tell you, after hearing about the DJ disaster they had last year, I knew I had to swoop in and save the day. Last year's guy played all the wrong songs, capped the night with Mamba—which, I mean, why? So, they canned him and called in the pro (yours truly). The kids? They had a blast. I'm talking, Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield brought the house down. You know you've hit the right note when an entire room of teenagers collectively loses their minds two seconds into a song. Then came Since U Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson, because obviously, you can't go wrong with early 2000s anthems at a 2024 homecoming. These kids? They get it. Who knew? But, let's get to the meat of this episode. We're in the final stretch, people—the 2024 election is less than 20 days away. And let's be real, nobody has any idea who they're voting for. We've got Zaddy Trumpets out here spinning his usual “policies” (read: nonsense). He's supposed to be answering questions at a town hall but ends up playing DJ with his summer playlist while people literally pass out from heat exhaustion. Instead of answering questions like a normal candidate, he's out here doing the YMCA for 40 minutes straight. I mean, what are we doing? But the highlight? Trump's diving into crypto now—yep, you heard me. He's promoting some sketchy token called “Liberty Financial.” Look, if you're feeling adventurous, go ahead and dump your entire savings into it, but I wouldn't recommend it (not financial advice, wink, wink). The best part? You can't even withdraw your money until the “scheme”—I mean, system—decides you can. Yeah, read the fine print, folks. Meanwhile, Elon Musk is jumping on the Trump train, donating millions and becoming Trump's new bestie after they were practically enemies a few weeks ago. Musk is now campaigning in Pennsylvania like he's the freaking Director of Government Efficiency, which is a real job title Trump invented just for him. Honestly, the whole thing is starting to feel like a crossover episode of The Apprentice and Shark Tank. And if all that wasn't enough, we've got Ice Cube dropping new music—yes, that Ice Cube. The man who hasn't rapped in forever decided now is the time. I don't think anyone's listening to it, but hey, props to him for trying. Exhibit's also crawling out of retirement with a new album on a record label run by… wait for it… Conor McGregor. Yes, because when I think “music mogul,” I totally think “MMA fighter.” What are we doing? Oh, and shoutout to Dasani. They're back with a new formula—now without salt. Yes, that's right. The selling point for water is that it finally doesn't have salt in it. What a groundbreaking concept. Welcome to 2024, people. That's it for this week. It's all a mess, and I'm just here trying to make sense of it. If you haven't subscribed to the YouTube channel yet, what are you even doing? See you next week for more chaos.

Tuesday Talks with Dr Bijna Kotak Dasani, MBE, FRSA. We talked about uplifting others, gender pay gaps and lots more.

Summary In this conversation, Eric Davis, Elise, Dasani, and Dr. Brian Yeich discuss the concept of bands and the Inspire movement. They talk about the importance of community and the role of bands in discipleship. They also share personal experiences and encourage college students to join a band. The conversation highlights the need for accountability, vulnerability, and support in the Christian journey. Keywords bands, Inspire movement, community, discipleship, accountability, vulnerability, supportTakeaways Bands are small groups of people who meet regularly to share their life with Jesus and encourage one another. The Inspire movement aims to help people abide deeply with God and live missionally in the world. Bands provide a space for confession, prayer, and support, fostering spiritual growth and discipleship. Being part of a band helps combat loneliness and isolation, allowing individuals to experience the richness of community. Joining a band requires a desire for deeper connection, prayer for the right group of people, and a willingness to commit to the process. "A band, historically, is just a very small group of people... who meet together to share their life with Jesus, with one another." "The goal of Inspire is to help people abide deeply with God and live missionally in the world." "Sitting with three other girls that I have known for almost a year... we have never sat down and carved out space to be vulnerable and just to discuss these heavy questions."

In this episode of the Catalyst Podcast, Eric Davis interviews Dasani Hill and Elise Stringer, two transfer students at the Wesley at Southern Miss. They discuss the challenges of being a Christian in college, finding their faith, and the importance of community. Dasani and Elise share their experiences of feeling torn between two lifestyles and the pressure to fit in. They also talk about the impact of having mentors who met them where they were and normalized their struggles. The conversation highlights the need for college students to make practical choices, such as seeking community and not being lukewarm in their faith. The hosts emphasize the importance of showing up and loving both God and others. They also address common problems faced by college students, such as the pressure to have life figured out and the fear of losing friends. The episode concludes with words of encouragement to enjoy college, find community, and take the next step in one's faith journey. Takeaways Being a Christian in college can be challenging, especially when trying to balance two lifestyles and fit in with friends who may have different values. Having mentors who meet you where you are and normalize your struggles can be instrumental in finding and strengthening your faith. Practical choices, such as seeking community and not being lukewarm in your faith, can help college students navigate the challenges they face. It's important to show up and be present in your faith journey, trusting that good things will happen when you do. Common problems faced by college students include the pressure to have life figured out and the fear of losing friends. Enjoying college, finding community, and taking the next step in your faith journey are key to finding grace and hope along the way. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/southernmisswesley/support

From Barbie to Dove and Dasani to Sephora, brands are constantly shifting to reflect their markets and make their customers feel seen. Emory University's Goizueta Business School Professor Omar Rodríguez-Vilá joins to discuss the power of brand inclusivity, how to serve the needs of historically underrecognized communities, and what sets inclusive brands apart. We'll also talk about integrating diversity and inclusion into marketing strategies, ensuring these efforts foster long-lasting connections rather than fleeting trends.  Omar serves as a professor in the practice of marketing at Goizueta. He has 13 awards for teaching excellence, including six as Core Professor of the Year, and most recently, the Provost Excellence in Teaching Award. He has also shared his wealth of experience and expertise in leading media outlets, including the Harvard Business Review, Forbes, and Ad Age.  The Basics: What Defines an Inclusive Brand? Omar begins by defining inclusive brands as those intentionally attuned to the needs of historically underrecognized communities. He explains how companies should first determine the role of inclusion by assessing the diversity of their customer base and identifying any whom they are not serving well.   He uses the story of Gillette vs. Bevel in the razor industry as a way to highlight how a singular focus on innovation—specifically, increasing the number of razor blades - led to suboptimal outcomes and the underserving of Gillette's consumers with wavy hair.  He also highlights best practices in building inclusive brands, using Dove and Barbie as leading examples.    The Beauty of Inclusivity Practices Omar encourages companies and managers to conduct an assessment to calculate their "inclusion maturity score" and discuss what changes are needed to be more inclusive in serving diverse customer segments. He discusses BRIDGE IMAX, the industry-first framework for operationalizing inclusion and driving growth. He explains how Sephora, whose score was “off the charts”, reflects their inclusive practices across stores, products, culture, and community engagement. His findings suggest that both diversity and inclusion increase engagement, with inclusion having a significantly stronger effect.  Understanding the Inclusion Opportunity Omar focuses on the importance of understanding the size of the "inclusion market" - the opportunity to serve diverse customer segments that may be underrepresented in a company's current customer base. Datasets are a critical piece of the puzzle in order to make a stronger business case for investing in inclusive practices.  Approaching Inclusion Effectively The framework for success in inclusivity is seen through understanding the market. Omar suggests understanding the composition of your customer base and identifying underserved groups. This will allow the brand to serve the market by creating innovative products and services to meet these needs. Lastly, Omar encourages listeners to show up authentically in the market.  Transformational Potential While embracing diversity and inclusion requires effort, the potential benefits are vast and impactful. Omar encourages brands to explore how these principles can reshape their market approach, potentially redefining their competitive position in the market.  Omar emphasizes that embedding diversity and inclusion into your market strategy isn't just a trend—it's a transformative effort akin to adopting new technologies. Companies that integrate these principles effectively are poised to gain a competitive edge by better resonating with and serving diverse markets.  Diversity and inclusion are not just moral imperatives but also clear business advantages. Customers view diversity as fundamental, influencing brand loyalty and differentiation in profound ways.  For those inspired to learn more, visit Goizueta's Business & Society Institute for additional resources and information on the intersection of business with inclusive economies, racial justice and climate.  For more insights to equip you with the tools and perspectives to excel in your career, subscribe to the Goizueta Effect podcast.  You can also read more about Omar Rodríguez-Vilá's work at Serving Markets: Inclusive Brands Stand to Benefit - EmoryBusiness.com How Inclusive Brands Fuel Growth (hbr.org)

Liquid Death is what happens when a very creative marketing guy got frustrated with the lack of courage from clients and bosses. Dave Young: Welcome to, The Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Simple, is a Marketing Consultant, Story Collector, and Storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is... Well, it's us. But we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [Tappers Jewelry Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders podcast. Dave Young, here along with Stephen Semple. Stephen just told me that today's episode is Liquid Death. So I don't have any direct experience, but there's something in the back of my mind that tells me it's a fairly recent product and it's just canned water. Stephen Semple: Yup. You got it. Ring the bell. Ring the bell. Once again, Dave Young, is on the ball. Dave Young: There was a YouTube video for water. I don't even think it was real, but it was Earth Juice. Yeah, Earth Juice. So Liquid Death, who thought this was a good idea? Stephen Semple: Here's what's different about them is its canned water rather than plastic bottles. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: It's put into metal cans. And the guy who thought of this idea was Mike Cessario, and he launched the business on December 18th, 2018. And in 2024, the business was valued at $1.4 billion. And what was reported that time is they were doing $263 million in sales, and he grew this without any outside investment. He bootstrapped this whole thing at the beginning, which is really quite remarkable. And the bottled water business is a huge market. There's like 16 billion gallons sold, $53 billion over like 80... And there's like 80 brands in the United States. So it's a big crowded business. Dave Young: And these aren't even flavored waters. These are just bottled still water. Stephen Semple: He does do some flavored waters now and some sparkling waters. But it started as just bottled water. Yes. Dave Young: Nestle, it comes to mind. Nestle and Coke and Pepsi have their big brands, Dasani and whatever the other one is. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: You and I are about the same age. When I was a kid, you couldn't find a bottle of water to buy if your life depended on it. If you're traveling and you're thirsty, you stop at a gas station that has a water fountain or you have a thermos or something. I don't even remember how I got a drink of water when I was a little kid on a trip. Stephen Semple: It was brutal. I remember in university when I was working as a DJ and I'd be on the road traveling and the only thing that you could get, you could get an iced tea or pop, and I didn't like pop. So it was like... and you would get to the stage of I was sick and tired of these ice teas, I just wanted to water. And bottle water was not around. It's a big business today. And Mike actually had no experience in water. He came from the advertising industry. I thought you would like this story. Dave Young: Think about this product, right? It's called- Stephen Semple: Liquid Death. Dave Young: Death, Liquid Death. Stephen Semple: Liquid Death. Dave Young: And it's made of one ingredient plus an aluminum can. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: And some paint. Stephen Semple: Correct. Dave Young: So it's 99% marketing. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: That's it. Stephen Semple: Yes. So he did graphic design for a big agency in California called, Crispin, but in advertising and working for a big agency he got burned out. He bounced around between different agencies, and he also got really frustrated with customers not wanting to do things that are bold and in...

Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times journalist Andrea Elliot sits down with another Pulitzer winner, novelist and playwright Ayad Akhtar, at the 2023 Writers' Conference to talk about Elliot's book, Invisible Child: Poverty, Survival, and Hope in an American City. The subject of the book is a Black girl in New York City named Dasani, whose story – told through the lens of almost a decade of Elliot's deep reporting – brings to vivid and devastating life the realities of how poverty and race and the moral failings of our institutions impact the most marginal among us.  Elliott tells us about Dasani's life and how it is both singular and emblematic, and she talks about her own passions for the deeply immersive journalism that is the hallmark of her professional life.
