This episode of Sippin' and Selling is proudly sponsored by Q Mixers.Betsy shares her journey through the world of consumer packaged goods, how her experience with major brands helped shape her approach to the beverage business, and how Q Mixers built its reputation by challenging the idea that a great spirit should be paired with an average mixer.

Joey and Betsy also explore the changing way people drink today, the growth of non-alcoholic and sober-curious occasions, Q's new fruit-forward Refreshers, and why the future of the brand goes far beyond traditional cocktails.

   The Business Behind the Party: Donae Burston of La Fête Wines

   What does it take to leave some of the biggest names in the beverage business and bet on your own brand? On this episode of Sippin’ and Selling, Joey Chanel sits down with Donae Burston, founder and CEO of La Fête Wine Company, to talk wine, entrepreneurship, branding, distribution—and what it really takes to build a beverage company from the ground up. Before launching La Fête, Donae built his career working with brands including Hennessy, Moët & Chandon, Dom Pérignon and Armand de Brignac (Ace of Spades). That experience gave him a front-row seat to the worlds of luxury, nightlife, celebrity and beverage marketing—and eventually inspired him to create something of his own. Donae shares how a conversation over rosé eventually became La Fête, a wine brand inspired by the South of France and built around making wine feel fun, inclusive and approachable. Joey and Donae also get into the less glamorous side of the beverage industry: fighting for distributor attention, getting on shelves, building relationships, competing with major suppliers and why having a great product doesn't mean anything if nobody is helping you sell it.And, of course, they're talking wine. From La Fête du Rosé to the Blanc and Rouge, Donae breaks down what makes the wines different, how Provence influences what goes into the bottle and why the brand has always been about more than just what's inside it.

   Meet Amigos: Building a THC Beverage Brand

   What happens when three friends from the hemp industry decide THC beverages should actually taste good? On this episode of Sippin' and Selling, Joey Chanel sits down with Jason, David, and Patrick, the founders of AMIGOS, a Miami-born THC beverage brand bringing bold flavors, serious branding, and a different approach to the rapidly growing THC drink category. This episode is Sponsored by AMIGOS. Want to try AMIGOS? Use coupon code “Sippin10” to save 10%. The guys share how their experience in the hemp industry led them into beverages, why they believed the market needed something beyond another flavored seltzer, and how Miami influenced everything from the AMIGOS name and packaging to flavors like Key Lime Margarita, Watermelon Mojito, Cherry Limeade, and their fruit-forward sodas. But building a beverage brand hasn’t exactly been smooth. The founders reveal they initially invested around $360,000 into the business—and then watched roughly 100,000 cans get destroyed or “explode” as they learned some very expensive lessons about formulation, manufacturing, shipping, inventory, and scaling a canned beverage company. They also explain how AMIGOS eventually reached monthly sales as high as $400,000–$500,000 while sometimes having to turn away additional business because they simply couldn’t produce inventory fast enough. Joey also gets a crash course in the THC beverage world, from dosage and flavor development to retail distribution, regulations, consumer education, and what it takes to get a new brand onto shelves. AMIGOS is currently testing in 15 Total Wine locations across Florida, Tennessee, and Georgia. And because this is Sippin' and Selling, they get into the stuff founders don't always talk about: money, mistakes, exploding inventory, cash flow, competition, marketing, and what it really takes to turn an idea into a beverage brand that can scale. Plus, Joey puts the three Amigos through a rapid-fire round to find out who can handle the most THC, who would embarrass themselves for the brand, and which founder might have the shortest career in stand-up comedy. Sponsored by AMIGOS Save 10% with coupon code: Sippin10 AMIGOS is intended for adults 21+. Consume responsibly. Individual responses to THC may vary.
