When the news cycle gets loud, panic is the easiest reaction — and the worst strategy.

The next few days will feel chaotic. But the smart move is simple:
Talk to your supply chain.
Talk to your consumers.

Clear heads make good decisions.

There are bad actors in this industry and they make it harder for the responsible operators doing it right.

Products mimicking Oreos, Skittles, Doritos… untested, mislabeled, and sold to anyone with cash in hand.

Micah Hyde’s end game?

🏈 THC beverages in NFL stadiums
🥤 Become the “official drink of the NFL”
💡 Start with one venue, then scale

Insurance is the biggest hurdle—but venue interest is growing fast.

Running a brand with a small team + budget?

Julie Rhodes says:
🤖 Use AI responsibly (productivity, not gimmicks)
📩 Treat CRMs + schedulers as extra teammates
⚙️ Build marketing as an ecosystem

Do more with less—or get left behind.

Great products aren’t just about flavor.
They’re about context.

This brand built its lineup around two consumer rituals:
☀️ Daytime drinking
🌙 Evening wind-down

It started by standing in grocery aisles, asking:
“Why would I pick that?”

What’s it like to see your product in a dispensary for the first time? For one founder, it was surreal: a random customer raving about the product she’d worked so hard to bring to market. That pride, that moment of validation—it’s what keeps so many founders going.

Low-dose drinks aren’t about “partying.” They’re about me moments.

For busy millennials with careers, kids, and packed schedules, being “out of control” isn’t an option.

A bath. A walk on the beach. Nine holes of golf.
