The international partnership, Mr. Berish, has created some of the world's finest wine and spirit and has given sovereign brands an extraordinary and unique portfolio of wines and spirits.   Don't miss this episode of Making Bank with Brett Berish!   (4:00) Background Brett's dad was in the liquor industry for 45 years at the same company as kids. That's all he talked about. His brothers and him would sit around the dinner table listening to their dad talk about. That's what inspired him to go into the liquor industry. He loved it and has a tremendous passion for the industry.   (5:20) People Build Brands People build brands. At the end of the day, you have to find people who believe in what you're doing and you build your army. Getting people to embrace brands is the key. You got to get in their soul and it's by getting out there and talking to them.    (6:54) Brand Connections Try to get people to be aware of the brand, and if it's a good brand, they'll talk about it. It's called organic brand building because it's not in a transaction. It's a relationship. Make it real. Make it authentic. To everybody you will ever work with, they should be your friends because of the brands. It's not because you saw some data.   (11:44) Brand Story “In the 14th century, merchants would travel to the West Indies and they didn't like the taste of traditional rum. They'd call it grog and they'd blend their own out of it. And what that was referred to was bumbu. We brought that brand back to life and now this brand has eight different sugar canes from eight different countries and we bond it and distill it in Barbados, which is the original rum island. And we don't have to filter the water because it's all natural and it's got authenticity and it's real.”   (13:46) Secrets To Success “I don't have a black box. I think it's, I think our success is blood, sweat, and tears and we're all in and it's night and day. It's constantly educating and constantly talking to people. The package has got to stand out. The name's has to be different. The look and feel has to be different. It needs to have a story. You need to have a beautiful package.”   (15:38) Taste Profile “We created this blend. It took three years to create, but it's wild. It's specifically different from everybody else. And if I can achieve what the profile I'm looking for, I think I'm the average consumer. I think I'm now giving myself to somebody who wants to try something different and something unique in a different profile, something completely different.”   (18:33) Biggest Challenges You can't put pressure on a brand. You have to let it grow at its own pace. The biggest challenge will be having to have patience for it to mature. If you rush it, it will not work and you will end up falling short.   (20:37) Key Tips You have to trust your instincts. Don't assume everyone is smarter than you or that everyone knows better than you. At the end of the day, if you're going to jump into a business, it has to be your decision. You can take people's input, but trust your gut.   Links: @BrettBerishceo1  @officialbelaire  @brettberishceo  @Brett Berish www.sovereignbrands.com

I think I'm now giving myself to somebody who wants to try something different and something unique in a different profile, something completely different.”   (18:33) Biggest Challenges You can't put pressure on a brand. You have to let it grow at its own pace. The biggest challenge will be having to have patience for it to mature. If you rush it, it will not work and you will end up falling short.   (20:37) Key Tips You have to trust your instincts. Don't assume everyone is smarter than you or that everyone knows better than you. At the end of the day, if you're going to jump into a business, it has to be your decision. You can take people's input, but trust your gut.   Links: @BrettBerishceo1  @officialbelaire  @brettberishceo  @Brett Berish www.sovereignbrands.com

The international partnership, Mr. Berish, has created some of the world's finest wine and spirit and has given sovereign brands an extraordinary and unique portfolio of wines and spirits.   Don't miss this episode of Making Bank with Brett Berish!   (2:05) Background Brett's dad was in the liquor industry for 45 years at the same company as kids. That's all he talked about. His brothers and him would sit around the dinner table listening to their dad talk about. That's what inspired him to go into the liquor industry. He loved it and has a tremendous passion for the industry.   (3:23) People Build Brands People build brands. At the end of the day, you have to find people who believe in what you're doing and you build your army. Getting people to embrace brands is the key. You got to get in their soul and it's by getting out there and talking to them.    (4:57) Brand Connections Try to get people to be aware of the brand, and if it's a good brand, they'll talk about it. It's called organic brand building because it's not in a transaction. It's a relationship. Make it real. Make it authentic. To everybody you will ever work with, they should be your friends because of the brands. It's not because you saw some data.   (9:48) Brand Story “In the 14th century, merchants would travel to the West Indies and they didn't like the taste of traditional rum. They'd call it grog and they'd blend their own out of it. And what that was referred to was bumbu. We brought that brand back to life and now this brand has eight different sugar canes from eight different countries and we bond it and distill it in Barbados, which is the original rum island. And we don't have to filter the water because it's all natural and it's got authenticity and it's real.”   (11:49) Secrets To Success “I don't have a black box. I think it's, I think our success is blood, sweat, and tears and we're all in and it's night and day. It's constantly educating and constantly talking to people. The package has got to stand out. The name's has to be different. The look and feel has to be different. It needs to have a story. You need to have a beautiful package.”   (13:41) Taste Profile “We created this blend. It took three years to create, but it's wild. It's specifically different from everybody else. And if I can achieve what the profile I'm looking for, I think I'm the average consumer. I think I'm now giving myself to somebody who wants to try something different and something unique in a different profile, something completely different.”   (16:37) Biggest Challenges You can't put pressure on a brand. You have to let it grow at its own pace. The biggest challenge will be having to have patience for it to mature. If you rush it, it will not work and you will end up falling short.   (18:40) Key Tips You have to trust your instincts. Don't assume everyone is smarter than you or that everyone knows better than you. At the end of the day, if you're going to jump into a business, it has to be your decision. You can take people's input, but trust your gut.   Links: @BrettBerishceo1  @officialbelaire  @brettberishceo  @Brett Berish www.sovereignbrands.com

Rick Ross is one of the most successful musicians in the world, but few realize he also dabbles in the world of consumer packaged goods (CPG). So, what can CPG professionals learn from the hip-hop legend? I've always believed that hip-hop and CPG entrepreneurship are linked together. This is probably why you see so many hip-hop artists that are involved with CPG entrepreneurship or investing in this consumer sector. While his overall business activity is lower compared to Jay Z, you might be surprised to learn that Rick Ross is an active investor across the CPG industry. Interestingly, Rick Ross and Jay Z both got their start in the CPG world through the same alcoholic beverage entrepreneur. Brett Berish, CEO of Sovereign Brands, who founded Armand de Brignac (aka Ace of Spades), also founded the sparkling rose brand Luc Belaire. In 2013, Rick Ross became essentially the brand's ambassador, which skyrocketed Luc Belaire in the rap game. A decade later, there aren't many artists as synonymous with a particular brand quite like Rick Ross is with Luc Belaire…even earning himself the nickname Rick Rozay. Likely due to the successful longtime partnership, Rick Ross is also involved in several other Sovereign Brands alcoholic portfolio companies. Now…Rick Ross might be best known for his alcoholic beverage investments, but he also dabbles in the packaged food side of the CPG industry (Rap Snacks and CTRL). It's also my belief that lyrics from his extensive catalog of music spanning more than a decade and quotes from various interviews will provide strong lessons for any CPG professional. I picked out a handful of my favorites that I know will bring you value… FOLLOW ME ON MY SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS LINKEDIN - https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuaschallmba TWITTER - https://www.twitter.com/joshua_schall INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/joshua_schall FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/jschallconsulting MEDIUM - https://www.medium.com/@joshuaschall

He's one of the most successful brand creators in the wine and spirits industry, but, until recently, Brett Berish avoided the limelight.  Twenty-two years ago, Berish, whose family has long ties to the spirits business, launched Sovereign Brands, a brand development company that's responsible for the massively successful super-premium Champagne label, Ace of Spades, and premium cognac D'usse. Hip-hop icon Jay-Z acquired the former in 2014 and also bought a stake in D'usse, which is now co-owned by rum giant Bacardi. Sovereign's reputation for creating winning concepts continued with Luc Belaire, a line of French sparkling wines that, according to measured sales data, is the fastest growing premium sparkling wine brand in the U.S. and the fastest-growing French sparkling wine in the world. The company also owns Bumbu, a critically acclaimed craft rum from Barbados and the best-selling brand in the U.S. premium rum category, as well as McQueen and the Violet Fog, a small-batch gin from Jundiai, Brazil. Despite his remarkable success, Berish's most valuable lessons came from failure. Reflecting upon the gravely  challenging times during his career has motivated him to become a more visible presence in the spirits industry with the aim of mentoring and advising young entrepreneurs about what it takes to persevere amid constant setbacks and struggles. In the following interview, Berish chronicled his journey as an entrepreneur, including what he learned from his failed vodka brand, why he urges entrepreneurs to trust their instincts and how innovation and category fit into his philosophy as a brand creator. He also spoke about how he aligned with iconic hip-hop artists, including Rick Ross, to promote and grow Sovereign-owned brands, and why he recently decided to partner with one of the largest wine and spirits companies in the world. Show notes: 0:42: Interview: Brett Berish, Co-Founder, Sovereign Brands – Berish spoke with Taste Radio editor Ray Latif about his family's lineage in beverage alcohol, his vision of creating 100% agave-based tequila while in high school, the inspiration behind Sovereign and the origins of its name and why he believes the company's focus has remained the same since its inception. He also discussed why he sold a minority stake in Sovereign to Pernod Ricard, explained why not trusting his instincts led to the demise of his first brand, why hearing “no” motivates him, the importance of establishing  authenticity in celebrity partnerships and why he doesn't have a specific strategy when it comes to retail channels. Later, he spoke about why he “loves” failure, how he overcame significant financial struggles early into his career and why transparency is the key to communication with his team. Brands in this episode: Ace of Spades, D'Usse, Luc Bellaire, Bumbu, McQueen and The Violet Fog

On this episode we had the honor of speaking with the Founder & CEO of Sovereign Brands, Brett Berish. During this episode we discussed how he changed his life at the age of 30, how he sold Ace of Spades to Jay Z, knowing when it's the right time to sell a company, starting the Luc Belaire Brand and becoming the best selling French Rosé in the U.S, the importance of collaboration with other brands, the key to having longevity as a successful brand and more.

Live Session with Brett Berish, Founder and CEO of Sovereign Brands which houses such iconic liquor brands as Belaire and Bumbu, pushed heavily by Rick Ross and Lil Wayne respectively. While these brands are among of the symbols of the elite in Hip Hop circles, Berish and company believe it giving back as much as they're getting in the way of helping others with making key connections, supporting rising artists and their projects and events as well as hosting an amazing podcast entitled "Self Made" which gives those who've climbed the ladder and navigated the maze to drop gems for the next generation.

For Brett Berish, CEO and co-founder of Sovereign Brands, building industry challenging brands is in his blood. The company he co-founded, Sovereign Brands, is a family-owned, family-run wine and spirits company dedicated to the creation and development of unique, premium beverage brands. I sat down with Berish to learn about the company's history, his family's background in the spirits industry and the growth Sovereign has seen in recent years.

In this episode, Matt talks to Brett Berish, CEO of Sovereign Brands. Founded in 1999, Sovereign Brands is an independent international wine and spirits company. Family owned and operated for nearly two decades, the company is responsible for producing a growing list of leading global spirits brands across categories. In 2012, Berish launched Luc Belaire, an award-winning line of French sparkling wines. Since being notably touted by longtime ambassadors Rick Ross and DJ Khaled, their signature black bottles have evolved into symbols of self-made success for prominent artists, athletes and entrepreneurs alike. In just five years, the brand's flagship blend Belaire Rosé ranks as the top-selling French sparkling wine sold in the United States.

It was reported that Lil Wayne was one of the people whom Trump was considering giving a presidential pardon. Wayne did end up getting the pardon, and now he has shared a statement thanking Trump. The statement — which Wayne signed with his real name, Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. — reads, “I want to thank President Trump for recognizing that I have so much more to give to my family, my art, and my community. I also want to thank @bradfordcohen for working so diligently to secure another chance for me. Love!” The pardon was confirmed in a statement from the Trump administration yesterday. The section of the statement regarding Wayne reads: “President Trump granted a full pardon to Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., also known as ‘Lil Wayne.' Mr. Carter pled guilty to possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon, owing to a conviction over 10 years ago. Brett Berish of Sovereign Brands, who supports a pardon for Mr. Carter, describes him as ‘trustworthy, kind-hearted and generous.' Mr. Carter has exhibited this generosity through commitment to a variety of charities, including donations to research hospitals and a host of foodbanks. Deion Sanders, who also wrote in support of this pardon, calls Mr. Wayne ‘a provider for his family, a friend to many, a man of faith, a natural giver to the less fortunate, a waymaker, [and] a game changer.'” What's going on Internet, Analytic here aka Dreamz and I would like to welcome you to mine, which I call the Notorious Mass Effect Podcast!
