How do you cultivate a loyal following through organic growth and word-of-mouth buzz and without leaning on celebrity endorsements or splashy marketing campaigns? It's the Komos way. In this episode, Ria Soler, the director of education and global advocacy for luxury spirit brand Tequila Komos, talks about how the company has focused on organic growth, thoughtful distribution and authenticity to stand out in an increasingly crowded market. Show notes: 0:45: Sports Drink? Tawchy's. More Investment, But Where? Jean Luc Picard. National Day Day. –  Tequila is still booming, but is “better for you”? Torchy's Tacos is all over Austin. When will the chain come to Boston? Melissa drops the latest on Nombase, and we've got new speaker reveals for BevNET Live. FABID's Q1 2025 report shows the funding freeze might be thawing, just not everywhere. National Pretzel Day – are you Team Soft or Team Crunchy? John is irritated. And, we've got new and notable products aplenty. 34:47: Interview: Ria Soler, Director of Education and Global Advocacy at Tequila Komos – At the Nassau Paradise Island Wine & Food Festival last month in The Bahamas, Ria talks about how Komos brings a winemaker's finesse to the world of agave spirits, blending traditional tequila craftsmanship with a sophisticated, global outlook. She also offers a candid look into Komos's multifaceted approach to brand building, how it embraces product placement in popular television shows from The White Lotus to The Real Housewives, and why “all press is good press” as the company expands visibility. Ria also talks about why at the heart of Komos' growth is a strong focus on distributor relationships, where trust and mutual respect are essential – especially during its transition into Gallo's network. She shares the value of ride-alongs with sales reps, even if it means braving a few dirty cars, and explains why her communication style is rooted in listening and adaptability. Brands in this episode: Pretzelized, Unique Pretzels, Uncle Jerry's, Auntie's Annie,  Quinn's, El Nacho, Cafe Du Monde, Dude Wow, Zenjoy, MTN Dew, Whiteleaf Provisions, Super Coffee, La Colombe, Tequila Komos, Orin Swift, Fortaleza, Chartreuse, Don Julio, Avion, Aviation Gin

This time out its two wildly different motorcycle films, the first being Corman's own "The Wild Angels" (1966), starring Peter Fonda, Nancy Sinatra, Bruce Dern and Diane Ladd as members of a violent, and unfortunately, quite rapey chapter of the Hells Angels. Then it's David Carradine and Claudia Jennings in the spiritual sequel to "Deathrace 2000", "Deathsport" (1978), directed by Allan Arkush, Nicholas Niciphor & Corman.

Lee is joined by friend and fellow podcaster Vaughn Kuhlmeier to talk about two early examples of what would come to be known as the Hixploitation genre, those being Russ Meyer's "Mudhoney" (1965), and Jerry Gross' "Girl on a Chain Gang (1966). Much of the conversation revolves around how both films contain the elements that the subgenre would build off of later on in the 1970s especially, and just how very different these two films are from one another in tone and style. Was Meyer too reserved? Was Gross not exploitive enough? The hosts also talk about what they've watched recently and respond to a listener comment.

Torchy's Tacos will open its second Richmond-area restaurant in February. The new location, in the recently-built Carytown Exchange shopping center, is not far from where the Austin, Texas-based taco chain's CEO and founder came into this world. "I was born at Richmond Memorial Hospital," Torchy's Tacos boss Mike Rypka told Scott and Robey on the Eat It, Virginia podcast. "We lived off of Monument Avenue. My mom and dad used to work for the Richmond newspaper. They were both journalists. My dad was a photographer. My mom was a journalist." While the family moved to Northern Virginia about five years later, Rypka said he had "crazy memories" of his time in Richmond. Fortunately for Torchy's fans, Rypka found his way into the kitchen where a variety of experiences led him to start a taco truck in Texas. After a few years, Rypka's idea grew from a truck to a single restaurant to now more than 100 Torchy's Tacos across the U.S. The Short Pump location opened in January and a Midlothian location will join the Carytown spot later this year. Learn more about Rypka's journey from Richmond to Texas Taco King on this episode of Eat It, Virginia.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Carpool with Kelly and Lizz

The gals' brand new advice segment is HERE! But before Kelly and Lizz dish their ideas on best family cars, they've got a fantastic little lineup for you. Kelly gives a not-so-glam review of motherhood and hates on the summer heat. She's also got a recap of her recent trip to Indy with the fam including her first Torchy's Tacos experience, fun with the kids, and the most darling parks she's ever seen.  Lizz brings a shocking and disturbing millennial word for girls that came straight from the mouth of a true Gen Z'er. It leaves Kelly and Lizz wondering…what are the Gen Z ladies calling the men?! Today's great 8 segment flips the script from last week where Kelly and Lizz decided which of the Disney male leads would win the Hunger Games. This week, the gals are lining up Elsa, Rapunzel, Mulan, Ariel, Jasmine, Belle, Pocahontas, and Meg from Hercules.  In the show's first ever advice segment working and pregnant with #2 mom, Angela, writes in to get Car Mom's advice on whether she and her husband should go with a Kia Telluride or a Hyundai Palisade as their new family car. Kelly and Lizz talk about car seat placement, third rows, and three-kiddo convenience.  In industry news storage startup StowIt.com provides people a place to park their cars, boats, and RVs AirBnB style. Then, Kelly and Lizz discover the most popular vehicle in each state and which has the highest percentage of minivans on the road. Lizz brings a ditch the drive through that will help you figure out what to do with your leftover hamburger buns from dinner or a backyard barbeque.  To wrap up the show, Kelly and Lizz check in on their summer goals and talk Peloton, painting kitchens, and peach salsa.  REMINDER: Get your copy or audio of The Love Hypothesis book and join us for our summer book club!
