When COVID shut the world down, Jack Espy lost
his job, mixed a cocktail, and accidentally discovered the idea
that would change his life.

Fast-forward five years and he’s running Spirited
Hive and Strive Soda — two
honey-sweetened beverage brands rewriting the “better-for-you”
playbook.


In this unfiltered conversation, Jack and Ryan
Hanley dig into:


How to turn early failure into a profitable foundation

Why naïveté can be a founder’s secret weapon

The brutal truth about distribution, marketing, and shelf
space

Building slow, selling smart, and setting up for acquisition

What “better-for-you” really means (and what it doesn’t)



This one’s part business therapy, part entrepreneurial
bloodsport.


Grab a drink, settle in, and take notes.


Because growth done right still takes sweat, humility,
and a little honey.
