    • When COVID shut the world down, Jack Espy lost his job, mixed a cocktail, and accidentally discovered the idea that would change his life.

      • Fast-forward five years and he’s running Spirited Hive and Strive Soda — two honey-sweetened beverage brands rewriting the “better-for-you” playbook.

      In this unfiltered conversation, Jack and Ryan Hanley dig into:

      • How to turn early failure into a profitable foundation
      • Why naïveté can be a founder’s secret weapon
      • The brutal truth about distribution, marketing, and shelf space
      • Building slow, selling smart, and setting up for acquisition
      • What “better-for-you” really means (and what it doesn’t)

        • This one’s part business therapy, part entrepreneurial bloodsport.
        Grab a drink, settle in, and take notes.

        Because growth done right still takes sweat, humility, and a little honey.
