The non-alcoholic cocktail space is booming, and Mocktail Club is one of the brands leading the charge. Founded by Pauline Idogho, Mocktail Club is redefining the way people experience sophisticated, alcohol-free drinks. Since launching in 2019, the brand has expanded into 1,300 retail locations, including Whole Foods, Sprouts, Kings, and Target, and is on track to produce 2 million cans this year.Pauline didn't come from the drinks world — her background is in investment banking and private equity, where she closed some $10 billion in transactions before pivoting to entrepreneurship. That financial acumen has fueled Mocktail Club's smart growth strategy, taking the brand from small-batch startup to a nationally recognized player in the rapidly expanding non-alcoholic beverage market.In this episode, Pauline shares: How a closing dinner while pregnant sparked the idea for Mocktail Club — and why she knew the market was underserved. Why she chose globally inspired flavors with ingredients like shrub bases, teas, and spices instead of mimicking classic cocktails. Her strategy for breaking into Whole Foods, scaling her retail footprint, and now moving into alcohol distribution channels. How she built Mocktail Club as a mission-driven brand, donating 1% of sales to Water for People and committing to sustainability. What it takes to fundraise successfully in the drinks industry, including how she secured investment from the incubator Pronghorn. Why the non-alc consumer is a cross-category buyer, and how retailers are finally recognizing this growing segment.Last Call:Every month, another celebrity launches a non-alc brand. But does it really work? In Last Call, we break down a Punch article by Hannah Walhout that asks: Are you even famous if you don't have a non-alc drink line?We debate:- Wellness or virtue signaling? – Are celebrities jumping into non-alc for health reasons—or just to boost their luxury image?- Social media marketing – A photo of Bella Hadid in Target holding Kin Euphorics works…but does it build long-term brand loyalty?- Authenticity vs. cash grab – Some celebs have stakes in both alcoholic and non-alcoholic brands.

Prior to the announcement of Mars' $36 billion acquisition of Kellanova, the hosts discussed the possibility of a major M&A deal, one that could create a domino effect for some CPG brands.

They also discuss Olipop's new line of shelf-stable sodas and Poppi's eye-popping marketing spend during the first four months of 2024, before chatting about the first two speakers announced for NOSH Live Winter 2024 and why the beverage industry is cheering for Sechey, but no so much for Boisson.

In this episode, we talk about one woman's quest to bring non-alcoholic adult beverages to the masses. Our guest is Emily Heintz, founder of Sèchey. Sèchey is a retailer focused on alcohol-free and functional drinks — and also low dose THC products – that launched in 2021. Sèchey has a bricks-and-mortar shop in Charleston, South Carolina, an ecommerce platform that ships nationwide, and a curated collection of products within Target stores nationwide. Emily has a fascinating story. After the retail veteran launched Sèchey, she found fundraising efforts to be challenging. Sadly, that's all too familiar a scenario for female founders: According to Pitchbook data, in 2023, women-founded startups received 2% or less of venture capital (VC) funding in the United States and Europe. This number has remained unchanged for over a decade. But Emily didn't throw up her hands and quit. Instead, she found an innovative way to build her retail brand nationally by partnering with the mass retailer Target. Sèchey now has a curated collection of its products nationwide, in some 2,000 Target stores. The brands carried there include Surely, Starla, and De Soi wines, non alcoholic cocktails from Ghia, Edna's, and Mingle, and functional beverages from Kin Euphorics among others, along with Sèchey's own branded line of dealcoholized wines. If you're interested in what's happening in the non-alcoholic beverage space, you won't want to miss this episode. We cover a lot of ground. A few of the key takeaways: How Sèchey landed a curated product collection within Target stores nationwide What Boisson's closure means for the emerging non-alcohol product landscape Understanding the regulatory challenges faced by non-alcoholic brands How retail pop-ups helped Sèchey build brand awareness Why product tastings are so crucial for driving bottle sales The shifting distribution landscape for non-alcoholic and THC beverages Why Sèchey is modeling itself after Sephora Customer data — who's buying non-alcoholic and functional beverages How Sèchey developed its own in-house brand of dealcoholized wines What e-commerce looks like in the non-alc beverage space How to pitch Sèchey if you're a non-alc or THC brand Stay tuned for our next episode dropping on May 15.

When Target embraces emerging categories, we take notice. The hosts discussed the retailer's new curated endcaps of non-alcoholic cocktails and wine and what it means for the nascent set of zero-proof beverages. They also spoke about why Nosh is broadening its coverage (and tapped a new leader to helm the vertical) and how a fast-growing hydration brand and popular sparkling water company have each taken a bigger-is-better approach to their packaging, This episode also features an interview with Will Fabry, the master distiller for CraftCo, a Michigan-based portfolio company that owns several acclaimed spirit brands, including Jos. A. Magnus and Fox & Oden. Fabry spoke about CraftCo's distilling philosophy, how it operates at the intersection of production, consumer demand and pricing, and how he attempts to improve upon and become more proficient in his role. Show notes: 0:40: More Green Juice & THC. LinkedIn Loves Monica. A ‘Perfect' Upgrade. Kids + Tuna… Hmmm. – The hosts shared their thoughts on healthy habits for 2024 and chatted about Nosh's expanded lens and the warm reception online for its new managing editor, Monica Watrous. They also spoke about Lemon Perfect's move to a larger bottle and Spindrift's similar shift, why they're not convinced that a tuna company's attempt to woo kids will work and a sports drink brand's new line of better-you-sodas. 28:24: Interview: Will Fabry, Master Distiller, CraftCo – A 20-plus year veteran of the culinary industry, Fabry joined CraftCo in 2018. In our conversation, he spoke about the impact of Michigan's climate in how the company's spirits are finished, how he and his team are consistently meeting the high expectations that consumers have come to expect from CraftCo brands, and how he managed Covid-driven supply chain challenges.

For adults, the pressure to drink at social engagements, work events, restaurants or almost anywhere outside the home can feel constant. Recent research has found that “no amount or kind of alcohol is good for your health,” and a wide variety of health problems can be linked to drinking. The growing “sober curious” movement offers people a way to think about cutting down on alcohol consumption at their own pace and in their own way, without the stigma that sometimes comes with sobriety. Quality non-alcoholic alternatives are more available than ever before, and sober bars and gathering spaces have popped up in a few cities. An expert panel from Aspen Ideas: Health breaks down sober curiosity for an audience at the festival. Chris Marshall is a mental health counselor and the founder of Sans Bar, a sober bar in Austin, Texas. Jen Batchelor started Kin Euphorics, a functional non-alcoholic beverage brand. And Katie Witkiewitz directs a substance abuse program at the University of New Mexico. Journalist and founding editor of Healthcare Brew, Amanda Eisenberg, moderates the conversation.
“ The more I tell my story, the more I'm like, damn, I would never have wanted to follow in the footsteps of anyone, I really have to blaze the path. Even though it's painful as sin, I have to put something out there that's brand new, and let people react to it.” Jen is delivering a whole new way to relate with “all bliss and no booze”, as she would put it, so we all can stay clear and calm while keeping the fun creative juices flowing. Jen Batchelor is a serial Entreprenista and the co-founder of Kin Euphorics, a line of non-alcoholic functional beverages, designed using ingredients that nourish the mind and body. Jen launched Kin to transform the drinking culture and provide the sober-curious, a sexy alternative to booze. After being the first Latina woman to raise over $15 million for a beverage company and partnering with supermodel Bella Hadid, Jen is just getting started. Listen in to today's refreshing new episode to hear the wildest launch story you've ever heard and learn how Jen's upbringing and family influenced Kin Europhics.

Today we're joined for the first time by two fellow entrepreneurs, who are pioneers of one of the fastest-growing markets in health and wellness today. Jen Bachelor and Bella Hadid are the co-founders of Kin Euphorics, a company rooted in Ayurvedic medicine, crafting functional adult beverages designed to offer an entourage effect using natural ingredients that nourish the mind and body. We connect with Bella and Jen about what it's like being female co-founders in the world of wellness, and the shared ethos that drew us to one another. We then explore the idea of the “reckoning”, where Bella and Jen open up about their own personal transformation stories, and the pivotal moments that left each of them with no choice but to abandon any long-held beliefs or social pressures in search of the tools and rituals that would ultimately bring them together in pursuit of nourishing their bodies, minds, and spirits from the inside out.

What do adaptogens, nootropics and botanicals have to do with the future of social drinking? If you ask Kin Euphorics co-founder and CEO Jen Batchelor, the answer is “quite a bit.” And, based on Kin's trajectory, it's hard to argue with her. Founded in 2017, Kin Euphorics is based on the idea that there needed to be a better-for-you alternative to alcohol when decompressing after work or enjoying a night out with friends. Available in five SKUs tied to distinct use occasions, the beverages are formulated with functional ingredients said to enhance mood and relieve stress, including,, depending on variety, Rhodiola Rosea, 5-HTP, Gaba and L-Theanine. Since its inception, Kin has raised over $10 million dollars in venture capital, a figure that reflects the brand's remarkable growth, particularly via e-commerce. While 90% of the company's revenue is currently derived from direct-to-consumer sales, Kin is in the midst of an aggressive push into brick and mortar retail. The company recently announced the hires of three former Fever-Tree executives tasked with expanding distribution of the brand into large retailers in all channels of trade. In an interview featured in this episode, Batchelor discussed the inspiration for and development of Kin, why the brand adopted “euphorics” as part of its branding despite the word's association with drug culture, how Soylent provided a rough template for the company's business strategy and the brand's association with sober-curious lifestyles. She also explained how Kin has built an effective D2C strategy, applying learnings from success at upscale retailer Erewhon to other chains, and how she views me-too brands that have emerged in recent years. Show notes: 0:49: Interview: Jen Batchelor, Co-Founder & CEO, Kin Euphorics – Taste Radio editor Ray Latif spoke with Batchelor about Kin's recent company retreat, the impact that growing up in Saudi Arabia had on her belief system, how she weaved together cultural experiences and Ayurvedic methodology into the creation of the brand and why, despite its unconventional positioning, traditional business fundamentals have been critical to Kin's development. She also explained how Kin became an “accidental D2C brand,” how supermodel Bella Hadid became an investor and partner, the ambitious goals for the company's new commercial team, and why Batchelor is enthusiastic about some emerging non-alcoholic social brands — and less so about others. Brands in this episode: Kin Euphorics, Soylent, Ghia
Apple is making it mandatory for its employees to RTO 3 days per week starting on May 23rd. Many people are upset about this as they claim Apple tells its customers how their products can help anyone work from anywhere, yet they won't allow their own workers to do so. I say it's because they invested billions of dollars in their campus and don't want it to go to waste.

What are the chances that a community totally centered around not drinking can actually be fun? Is it possible that a community centered around not drinking can actually be a vibe? Today, the ladies try Kin Euphorics, a brand that calls itself "a non-alcoholic experience designed to transform the world's oldest social ritual, drinking, into an act of concious connection." Inspired by magic and science, Kin has a tight knit community and a beverage for every time of day, and it's the reason Bella Hadid gave up drinking. It's also the only brand we've tried so far that has an astrological sign. But does any of that make it drinkable? And do you actually feel euphoric? Or is it all hype. Listen along as the ladies rate the experience from start to finish. Along the way they talk cutting alcohol for your workouts, nootropics vs. adaptogens, digital brand integration, and whether taste or smell is more important in an alcohol alternative.

When you're innovating in a category, there is no clear roadmap––you have to pave your own path. This week's guest did just that and focused on creating a brand, building community and tapping into the deep social connection that we all so desperately crave. On this episode of the Hot Spot series, Gabriel Ornelas chats with Jen Batchelor, Co-founder and CEO of Kin Euphorics, functional non-alcoholic adult beverages made with adaptogens, nootropics and botanicals. Each of their mood-boosting blends were developed to uplift, balance and create joy. Jen launched the company in 2018, and since then it has developed a cult-like following among the sober curious and those simply looking to re-examine their relationship with the ritual of drinking. One thing drinking for centuries has gotten right is it brings people together; creating community and fostering memorable experiences. Jen and her team have taken a special focus on developing and building the Kin community, with social connection at its core. Even during the pandemic, they challenged themselves to create social moments and experiences where people could connect, express themselves and find a bit of joy in what was a dark and uncertain time for many. Join us on a journey into the world of Kin Euphorics.

Sobriety is not a curse. Laura's Story [16:04] Odette welcomes Laura Laura's last drink was September 16, 2019. Laura feels great and has ups and downs and is present and grateful. She lives in Austin, Texas where she owns a spa and does bodywork and energy work. She is working with Supernatural Recovery. She is a single mom to an 8-year-old daughter and loves meditation and yoga. [17:40] Tell us about your path with drinking Laura grew up in an alcohol abusive family. She started smoking pot and LSD at 14. She didn't want to drink because of her parent's drinking. She was raped at 16 and started drinking to overcome her panic attacks. She was imprisoned, tortured, and sexually abused for two years. She escaped from her abuser at 18, went to college and her PTSD symptoms became really apparent. She was hospitalized until she could become mentally stable. She continued drinking for 20 years. She was often functioning and often not, it swung back and forth. She didn't have any rock bottom moments, she lived in rock bottom for several years. After several false starts she was able to stop drinking in 2019. [20:57] What was your inner dialogue when you started using alcohol? Laura realized if she was drunk enough, she didn't have a panic attack. She was doing things that weren't healthy, but it was how she survived. She is also in recovery for an eating disorder. As part of that journey, she realizes she developed a lot of maladaptive coping mechanism that were survival instincts to help her disassociate. [23:27] How was sharing your abuse with the world? Laura said she didn't share very much. She minimized her early trauma. Integrating her alcohol recovery with heavy trauma therapy has helped her and as her sobriety time increases, more memories surface surfaced. The heavy trauma therapy helped her understand why it was so difficult for her to get sober. Her trauma and alcoholism to hand in hand. [25:29] Have recurring memories of trauma been a trigger for you? Laura said sobriety has been an awakening process. She has discovered some radical truths and uncovering new information about her trauma and her family of origin. Her therapist has helped her reconcile those awakenings. [26:35] How did you approach your healing journey? Laura wrote a book about her journey which is part of Supernatural Recovery. There are four cornerstones including: caring for your physical body (nutrition, hydration, exercise), trauma relief (body work, energy work, plant medicine, acupuncture), calming your nervous system (finding new ways to handle your body when her nervous system was activated), forgiveness and self-compassion which been the part of it. She is learning how to enjoy her life and avoid negative relationship patterns. [29:20] How did you discover these alternative tools? Laura said because of her body work practice, she is connected to many resources in the Austin recovery community. She learned to release trauma and find new ways to live her life. [31:14] How was early sobriety for you? Laura said she did not have a pink cloud. She cried all day every day for the first 90 days. Hiking daily, getting outside and the Recovery Elevator podcast were very helpful so she could be vulnerable and honest. At about 90 days, yoga helped her to feel better. When she began working with a somatic process, it helped her to become stronger and more committed. The book, The Energy Codes was helpful and has become a cornerstone of her program. [34:53] Tell me about the relationship between your alcohol recovery and your eating disorder? Laura said she played addiction whack a mole for some time. Healing isn't linear and learning to avoid self-abuse has ups and downs. [37:20] What role does community have in your healing? Laura said community is so important. Reconnecting with your source energy, people, and the world when you are recovering is important. She dipped her toes in AA and the 12 Steps, and found it wasn't for her. The Austin based yoga recovery community has yoga and meditation classes that have been instrumental to her recovery. Café RE was important to her in the early days. [38:55] Do you still go to therapy? Laura said yes! She began therapy before she got sober. Her therapist specializes in empaths and highly sensitives. When Laura wanted to stop drinking, worked for a year and a half. She had several false starts, and her therapist helped her get to the other side. Her therapist has inspired her to pursue a master's degree in counseling. [40:42] What has recovery made possible for you? Laura said what she is building with Supernatural Recovery and writing a book that is about to get published. Education is a part of her journey. She has a better handle on her emotional reactions. Service is also gift in her recovery. [42:30] Do you still get cravings? Laura said yes and she currently uses fancy olives. In her early days she would take a shot of apple cider vinegar. Calming her body and spending time in nature help. The disease is to disconnect, and the medicine is to stay present. Breathwork also helps. Yoga has helped her train her mind to be her friend. [44:45] What reactions from others have you experienced since you quit drinking? Laura said people in her life were relieved, happy, and proud. She has lost some friends along the way because she wasn't a happy, fun drinker. Sometimes people can't come with you on any awakening journey. At the end of the day, you must choose yourself. Letting go with gratitude helps avoid bad blood. [46:58] Have you been able to identify any triggers? Laura said her triggers are emotional, worrying about her daughter and getting hungry. When she thinks she might want a drink, she now can recognize the trigger, let go of the thought and solve it with self-care. Her daughter is learning to use those tools as well. [49:14] What does a day in your life look like? Laura said after dropping her daughter at school, she runs or walks, takes clients, yoga, works on her website or editing her book. On the weekends she spends time outside and hikes with friends. Teaching her daughter about self-care and handling your emotions is important. Her recovery has made her strong and help others heal. [53:57] When does your book come out? It is slated to be published through the Balboa press within the next 4-5 months. She is excited share the broad menu of recovery with others. [55:15] Rapid Fire Round If you could talk to your younger self, what would you say? It's going to be okay. You are an incredible, strong person. You are going to get through this and help others. What is your favorite NA beverage? Kin Euphorics https://www.kineuphorics.com What are some of your favorite resources in recovery? Supernatural Recovery, Café RE, and yoga. What's an unexpected perk of being sober? Her skin, her eyes are brighter and that increases her confidence. What parting piece of guidance can you give to listeners? Have compassion for yourself. The healing journey is not linear. If you are trying and you haven't made it yet, realize the more you beat yourself up, the harder it gets. You might need to say Adios to booze if … When a bottle is half empty and you go to the store because you are worried about running out.

Highlights from the conversationThey're not gonna care, and they shouldn't, because they don't need more thingsIf you play it safe and you go the easy route it falls on deaf earsIt's about the people that do it. We want to be in the right relationships with the right people. The product and all that other stuff are important, but great people build great brands and great companies, and I think that's where it starts.I think it takes courage to be presented with four potential brand identities in a first client presentation and take the one that's the most crazyA great brand has impact on the world and people and culture. It doesn't have to fundamentally make us all better humans, but it should hopefully, bring joy, happiness, connectivity to people's livesIt's not one thing, it's so many individual moments where you have to make decisions. And you know, and all those decisions add up. And Vitamin Water is a perfect example.

Zum Anfang des Jahres finden wir, sollten Experten immer mal einen Ausblick in ihre Fachwelt wagen, um Wege aufzuzeigen. So werden wir heute auch versuchen Vorhersagen für die Zukunft zu treffen und uns daran messen, was und ob etwas davon eintrifft. Etwas im Kontrast hierzu, werden wir in den ersten 12x12 Sekunden in die Genusswelt von Jan geführt. Kontrast deshalb, weil es ein bereits alt bekanntes, dennoch immer wieder trendiges und dennoch ganz wohliges Mitbringsel ist. Na kommt ihr schon drauf? Nun gehen wir mal in das Thema "Vorhersagen". Denn viele Menschen beschäftigen sich mit "Zukunft" und verwenden dabei das Wort "Trend". Wir möchten zuerst einmal die Begrifflichkeit klären. Zum Glück haben wir einen "Trendscout" als Gastgeber und bekommen gratis einen kurzen Einblick in die Fachwelt dieser Zukunftsforschungswelt. Wer sich dem Thema auch mal nähern möchte, der kann gerne auf unsere Tipps zurückgreifen. Wir bekommen nichts dafür, aber freuen uns, wenn wir etwas Wissen mit euch teilen. Matthias Horx - Buch "Das Megatrend-Prinzip": https://www.thalia.de/shop/home/artikeldetails/ID37867879.html Megatrend Map : https://www.zukunftsinstitut.de/artikel/die-megatrend-map/ Oliver Leisse - Buch "So geht Zukunft": https://www.weltbild.de/artikel/buch/so-geht-zukunft_28407254-1 Wir gehen auf relativ sicherem Terrain einmal in die Vorhersagen. Denn grundsätzlich wird es mit Sicherheit in dem Bereich Bio und Nachhaltigkeit weitere Fortschritte geben, die immer mehr Gewichtung in unserem Alltag bekommen. Aber die Entwicklung finden wir so gut, dass wir hier einmal eintauchen. Darüber hinaus werden wir uns mehr mit Lebensmitteln beschäftigen, auch wenn die Lebensmittel mitunter nicht mehr in der ganz natürlich hergestellt werden. Wir erleben ganze Salatbars, die hochstylisch bei uns in der Küche immer frischen Salat und Kräuter bereitstellen (https://greenloop.io/) oder Firmen züchten in ganzen Fabrikhallen, völlig unabhängig von Mutter Natur bereits komplette Gemüsesortimente. Wir schneiden auch eine ganz spannende Frage an. Das in-vitro-Fleisch. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-vitro-Fleisch Denn im Kern geht es um die Frage, darf ich Fleisch essen, für das kein Tier gestorben ist? Ein weiteres Thema sind alkoholfreie Drinks. Da mag vielen der Rausch fehlen, den Alkohol erzeugt und den viele Genießer auch gerne haben. Dann solltet ihr euch mal mit Kin Euphorics beschäftigen https://www.business-punk.com/2019/01/kin-euphorics/ Für Fragen, Wünsche und Anregungen auf allen gewohnten Kanälen und unserer Facebookseite stehen wir gerne weiter Rede & Antwort (https://www.facebook.com/food.cast.hamburg) Viel Spaß beim reinhören! Wir sehen uns in der Zukunft ;-)

Tej Singh interviews Jen Batchelor, the Co-Founder & CEO of Kin Euphorics, the first of a newly invented category of functional beverages called euphorics. More about Kin: “Kin believes in a night where social isn't sinful, and self-care doesn't stop at sunset. It didn't exist at the bar, so we turned to ancient remedy and modern alchemy to create euphorics: an adult beverage made from nourishing nootropics, balancing adaptogens, and replenishing botanics that opens the mind, calms the body, and connects the spirit.”
