We’re back! And coming in hot….will this joke ever get old? We hope not. This episode is a special one. Not only is it lucky number 30, but it’s of our first live recording done in Boston, MA at Hall — a membership based community space with healthy dinner, local events, and new possibilities. Kara sat down (with no voice, bless the honey + tea gods) with Nick Rellas, Massachusetts native and Co-Founder of Drizly, the Boston-based alcohol delivery app. Think: wine, to your house, in under an hour. Without having to put shoes on. Drizly is currently the world's largest alcohol marketplace, NBD. In this candid discussion, Nick dives in on what it means to be an entrepreneur, steps to take if you’re in the market for product or service creation, how he started a multi-mullion dollar company, tapping into your resources for success and what he learned along the way. Lots of sarcasm, dry humor, laughs from the crowd complete with a Q + A section at the end…this episode has it all.

 

In this episode, we dive into…

  • How Nick started a business...at 22 years old.
  • Becoming your own boss
  • Nick's learning that culture and people are two of the most important pieces to a successful business
  • Launching an alcohol delivery app in a city where it was technically illegal
  • Asking for funding, Silicon Valley and white male privilege in the start up and small business space
  • Why he’s not on any form of social media
  • Coming from a family of immigrants that were also entrepreneurs, noting that most of the top 100 startups were created by immigrants
  • Knowing when to keep going vs. knowing when to pause and make a change
  • The creation to consumption ratio
  • How Nick stays grounded an in touch with his mental health, advice for how to do so with reading, writing, meditating, connecting with people, and slowing dow

…and so much more!
