Episode 10: How the Rainforest Helped Build a $75MM Beverage Company – Chris Mann

This week on The EnTRUEpreneurship Podcast, we speak with Chris Mann, CEO of Guayaki Organic Yerba Mate. Yerba Mate is a beverage native to South America that — as described by Chris — stimulates like coffee, heals like green tea, and gives a chocolate-like euphoria.   Guayaki’s global footprint has stretched well beyond distributing a consistent, high quality product to retailers across the United States and Canada. In the podcast, Chris describes his company’s dedication to its core mission of restoring South American rainforests, explains how his product fuels that mission, and challenges entrepreneurs to think more broadly about solving both business and societal issues.
