In this episode of ScaleUp Radio, I'm joined by Phil Harding, the founder of BBB Drinks, a business that's not only disrupting the traditional drinks distribution model but also redefining how emerging brands grow and scale in an evolving market.

From a shift in consumer drinking habits to a unique retainer-based model, Phil shares how BBB Drinks is tackling the industry's deep-rooted inefficiencies head-on – and helping new brands get the attention and traction they deserve.

This episode is structured in three parts:

1. The Business & Model: We explore BBB's innovative business model, their shift to brand ambassadors, and the market trends that are shaping the drinks industry.
2. Scaling Challenges: Phil shares his personal experiences of scaling, including how BBB is responding to the challenges of growth, cash flow, and the broader insights from the ScaleUp Challenges Report.
3. Quickfire Questions: We wrap up with some fast-paced insights that reveal what drives Phil and what he's learned on his journey so far.

🎯 The One Key Thing:

"Your business model is your greatest lever – disrupt the system, and you can unlock real scale."
