In this episode, I chat with Anna Zesbaugh, the inspiring founder of Better Buzz Brands that makes Hooch Booch and Corpse Reviver beverages, to discuss her journey launching an alcoholic hard kombucha company during the pandemic and then adding a non-alcoholic beverage to pave the way for more sales.

Despite facing significant challenges, Anna's tenacity and innovative thinking led her to create a unique product that has captivated the Denver market and beyond. She shares her experiences navigating the complexities of the alcohol industry, from finding the right brewers to securing distribution and educating consumers about hard kombucha. Join us as we explore the creative process, the power of persistence, and the exciting future of Better Buzz Brands.

Are you a good time off taker? Are you able to turn off your phone and get present with the people and experiences, or do you feel ancy, agitated and anxiety wondering what you are missing and what messes will await you when you return? Most business owners I meet are TERRIBLE at taking real time off and it is actually hurting their businesses more than they realize.

Join me on this week's episode as I share my recent journey to rest and rejuvenation after taking 12 days off (and not just "entrepreneur off", but "off, off".) I share insights on how we can gracefully step away from our businesses to recharge, and why it is SO important to do so for enhanced productivity and creativity.

Learn practical strategies I used to disconnect from technology, set boundaries, and delegated tasks to ensure a seamless break while maintaining business momentum and ease of re-entry.
