#1917 Recession Proof: How to snap back from sudden financial loss

Today’s guest is exactly what I was looking for when I put out a call on Twitter saying, “Is there anyone who’s doing well despite what’s going on with Coronavirus?” Well, Michael Alexis is the inspiration I think we need. Just before this whole thing hit the guy bought Museum Hack, a company that takes you and your loved ones into museums. First of all, you can’t even get into museums right now–but you also can’t get next to your loved ones or anyone else. How does someone suddenly running this business deal with the situation? He found a way to turn things around. He went online and created a business second business. It’s called Team building.com. They provide team building activities that your people will love, but it’s all done online.

#1916 KeVita Case Study: The kombucha beverage company that PepsiCo bought for $230,000,000

Joining me today is an entrepreneur who created a beverage company and sold it to PepsiCo. I want to find out how he sold his company but I also want to tear into this story, especially considering what’s going on in the world today. His name is Bill Moses. The company I’d like to spend a lot of time talking about is called KeVita. If you don’t recognize the name, you’d probably recognize the bottle. I want to find out how he launched it, how he grew it and why he’s coming back and doing an alcoholic beverage now.

Bill Moses is the co-founder of Flying Embers, Organic Hard Kombucha with live probiotics and botanical adaptogens.

#1914 Recession Proof: How to create a survival plan (so you can maintain confidence)

I was feeling a little bit down about what’s going on in the world today. There’s the virus, but there’s also the economy that is taking businesses down and it’s hard to separate the two. The interesting thing is that Noah is so freaking upbeat about this. He sees it as more than a situation that we need to get through. I want to get some hope from that. But the other thing that’s coming through with Noah is that he’s got this pumped up confidence that I’m also hoping we can absorb from him.
