Ryan Malkin, Founder and Principal Attorney of Malkin Law, a boutique law firm specializing in the alcohol beverage industry joins Enterprise Radio.

This episode of Enterprise Radio is in association with the Legal Corner.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Ryan Malkin discuss the following:

* How did you get into alcohol beverage compliance/law?

* Can you walk us through what you do for brands and what sets you apart from boutique law practices?

* What advice do you have for any listeners who want to start their own alcohol brand?  What’s the first thing they should do?

* What are some of the common mistakes you have seen people make when trying to launch a brand or grow distribution?

* How easy is it to have your brand acquired by a large, global supplier?

TIP: Getting an alcohol beverage product into the market can be relatively straightforward. Having that product succeed and be acquired by a major supplier is much more difficult. Many people get into the industry with the hopes of being the next Casamigos, but getting to that type of an exit is few and far between and takes a lot of effort. Like many other industries, the alcohol industry is very small so reputation and relationships matter.

Ryan Malkin is an attorney focusing on alcohol beverage law. He has extensive experience providing guidance to suppliers, wholesalers, retailers, agencies, and third parties within these regulated industries. As an attorney for a major global wine and spirits supplier, Ryan concentrated on supporting the sales and marketing teams to ensure compliance with rules and regulations in all 50 states. Ryan utilized his experience and knowledge of the industry to help craft compliant programs to help global brands outperform others in their categories.

Prior to his work at Pernod, Ryan was an Assistant District Attorney in Manhattan. He investigated and prosecuted all manner of crimes, with an emphasis on long-term white collar crime investigations. Ryan gained unprecedented skills and an understanding of state governmental agencies.

Ryan’s passion for the alcohol industry began as a staff writer for SmartMoney. He specialized in travel and hospitality writing, with an emphasis on the beverage alcohol industry, covering both brands and category trends. His articles have appeared in such publications as Beverage Media, Liquor.com, The Wall Street Journal, New York Post, DJTimes, and Esquire to name a few.

Ryan is a regular contributor to Artisan Spirit magazine and SevenFiftyDaily and was on the editorial board of the Florida Bar Journal. Ryan is also counsel to the American Craft Spirits Association.

Kelley Higney, the Founder & CEO of Bug Bite Thing, a suction tool that removes insect saliva/venom from under the skin and effectively alleviates the discomfort, stinging, itching, and swelling caused by insect bites and stings joins Enterprise Radio.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Kelley Higney discuss the following:

* Can you please provide us with some background on what inspired you to start your company, Bug Bite Thing.

* What is Bug Bite Thing and how is it different from other insect bite relief products on the market?

* What was your strategy for bringing the product to market?

* What were the biggest challenges you faced when you started your business? How did you overcome them?

* How is your business doing today?

Tip: If you are at the early stages of starting your company and you are not getting the response that you are seeking, don’t give up. Focus on creating a market demand for your product. Also, starting small and focusing on steady growth can lead to a very successful business. Don’t worry about trying to become a multi-million dollar business overnight.

Kelley Higney is the founder and CEO of Bug Bite Thing. Kelley grew up in San Diego, California, and worked with her mother, Ellen McAlister, on the family’s international export and distribution business, A.C. Kerman, for 15 years before starting Bug Bite Thing.

In 2016, Kelley and her family relocated to South Florida. Kelley was unprepared for how mosquitoes would impact her family’s quality of life. Her daughter suffered from constant mosquito bites. After many failed attempts using creams and trying home remedies, Kelley discovered a little-known tool that uses suction to help remove insect saliva/venom from under the skin. Kelley was amazed to find that the product worked and also offered instant relief.

Since creating Bug Bite Thing in 2017, Kelley has been a “mom on a mission.” She is passionate about increasing awareness on the thousands of chemicals approved for use in personal care products used on children in the United States. The company gained nationwide recognition in October 2019 when Kelley and her mother appeared on ABC’s hit show, ‘Shark Tank.’ All the Sharks were biting with offers to invest in the business, but it was Lori Greiner’s  ‘Golden Ticket’ offer that secured the partnership.

Bug Bite Thing is Amazon’s #1 selling product for insect bite relief with more than 30,000 positive reviews. She hopes to inspire other mompreneurs to seek innovative and chemical-free solutions to common problems and to start their own businesses.

Kelley is a member of the Forbes Business Council, named ‘Female Entrepreneur of the Year for Consumer Products’ by the Stevie Awards for Women in Business in 2020, Best in Biz Awards 2020 ‘Executive of the Year’ in the Small Business category and is active within the South Florida business community. She resides in South Florida with her husband, Richard, and their daughters, Leah and Lilly.

Andi Barness-Rubin, the Founder and CEO of Cart Safe, which is a patented and recyclable liner that forms a protective barrier between groceries and the bacteria and viruses that exist on shopping carts joins Enterprise Radio.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Andi Barness-Rubin discuss the following:

For the benefit of our listeners, please give us an overview about Cart Safe.

Why is it important to cover or insert shopping carts with Cart Safe’s patented liner?

Given the threat of COVID-19, why is Cart Safe a necessity for all consumers?

Tell us, too, about the convenience Cart Safe offers.

What else should listeners know about Cart Safe?

If necessity is the mother of invention, sometimes it takes a mom to fulfill a BIG need by creating a simple solution.

Cart Safe was created by Andi Barness-Rubin, a working mother of 3 boys who was frustrated with the thought of going to the grocery store and trying to keep germs off of herself and her food. Before the Coronavirus Pandemic, Andi would always wipe the handles of the shopping cart with a store-provided wipe (when they were even available), but once COVID-19 began to spread, she really starting thinking about all of the germs that were not only on the handle, but also all over the inside and outside of the cart. Frustrated by having to wipe down her entire cart, she came up with an idea that she knew would simplify her ability to keep herself and her family safe. With this idea in mind, Andi, with the support of her husband, worked as fast as possible to create and produce Cart Safe, the first-ever recyclable shopping cart liner.

Cart Safe is recyclable, made from durable LDPE (low-density polyethylene which is considered a #4 plastic).

With Cart Safe, in addition to being able to do your shopping with the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you are doing everything you can to protect yourself and your family, you will also feel good knowing that the product can be recycled by simply placing it in the collection bins that most large grocery stores provide to customers wishing to recycle their Safe Cart and plastic grocery bags.
