Beer Distribution is Evolving

Beer Distributors moving into Wine, Spirits, RTD's & Sake Sales
Younger Consumers the base doesn't matter: Liquor, Malt, Wine
Moved past the Post Base world in 2024
- Consumers are not beer, wine or liquor drinker (RTD's) drove that
RTD's Taking share from beer, #1 RTD is Gallo's High Noon
Sake - It is closer to beer than wine as it's brewed.
Beer & RTD worlds continue to merge

Surprises of 2024

Companies Hiring Managers need to be open-minded and innovative about hiring
- They say the #1 most important thing is people but have no hiring process
Marketing Opportunity for High Net-Worth Women
Wine RTD's Growing into 2030
How surprised we were no real forecasting in 2024 or into 2025
Alcohol companies haven't hit the mark in advertising to women
E-commerce only just a few years before COVID-19, and lots of growth
Compliance rules to know on DTC is challenging still figuring it out
Getting companies and brands into the Digital Game
30% of the Marketing Budget should be on digital
Quick rise in CBD and THC's

Summary
We discussed a shift towards alternative distribution models, particularly the growing influence of ready-to-drink (RTD) products. We emphasized the need for realistic expectations and strategic planning in order to succeed in a competitive market.
We also discuss the importance of hiring practices, the potential of targeting high-net-worth women, and the necessity of digital transformation in the industry.
We emphasize the need for experiential marketing to engage consumers and the surprising insights gained from their experiences in the field. The conversation explores the evolving landscape of the beverage industry, focusing on emerging trends in e-commerce, the rise of non-alcoholic and functional beverages, and the impact of economic challenges.
In 2025, we emphasize the importance of health and wellness in consumer choices and the need for brands to adapt to changing market dynamics. Additionally, we highlight the empowerment of women in the industry and the collaborative efforts to support each other in navigating these changes.

🎗️ Surviving Breast Cancer: My Story with Dr. Pamela Hayes 🎗️ 🎉 #GetYourBoobsSqueezed 🎉 1:17:23

منذ 28 يومًا1:17:23

1:17:23

Send us a text 📢I talk🎙️w i th Dr Pamela Hayes, M.D. Medical Oncologist at Texas Oncology in Dallas, TX. She specializes in Hematology and Medical Oncology! 👏🍷 🎇 🎉 ✨ 👏 🥂 😁 💬 "It's your journey. Don't compare it to anyone else." - Dr. Pamela Hayes This summer, I was diagnosed with stage zero breast cancer (DCIS) —a mild case, but still life-changing. I sat down with my oncologist, Dr. Pamela Hayes , to share my experience and spread awareness about early detection, treatment, and recovery. Here are some key takeaways from our conversation: Watch on YouTube ! https://youtu.be/R9HIy93UP-0 🔬 Early Detection & Diagnosis ✔️ Mammograms matter! Many cases are caught early through routine screening. ✔️ Dense breast tissue = more screening (I had it & was called back for more tests). ✔️ DCIS is "stage zero" cancer , meaning the cells are abnormal but haven't spread. 💬 "Think of it like a tiger in a cage. Given enough time, it can break out." - Dr. Hayes on DCIS 🏥 Treatment Journey 📌 Biopsy & Lumpectomy : Surgery removed abnormal cells, but margins were close—so I had a second procedure. 📌 Radiation : Based on my risk score, radiation was recommended to prevent recurrence. I had 21 treatments. And I Rang the Bell! 📌 Hormone Therapy : I’m on low-dose tamoxifen for 5 years to reduce future risk. 💬 "Our goal is to make sure this NEVER comes back." - Dr. Hayes 🧬 What Increases Breast Cancer Risk? 🔸 Family history & genetics (BRCA gene mutations) 🔸 Early puberty or late menopause 🔸 Dense breast tissue (like mine!) 🔸 Obesity & lack of exercise 🔸 Alcohol consumption (moderation is key!) 💬 "Alcohol isn't the biggest risk factor, but excess can increase estrogen levels, which fuel some breast cancers." - Dr. Hayes 💪 Life After Treatment 🌿 Exercise helps! I’m walking 2-3 miles/day & doing weight training. 🍎 Balanced diet > extreme diets. No need to cut out everything! 🩺 Regular screenings & check-ups are a must. 💬 "Tiny changes make a big impact." - Dr. Hayes 💖 Final Thoughts Breast cancer is emotionally and physically overwhelming , but having a strong support system, great doctors, and the right mindset makes all the difference. If you're going through this or know someone who is, you're not alone . 💬 "Your body is constantly working to protect you—trust it, take care of it, and stay proactive." 🎉 #GetYourBoobsSqueezed 🎉 👀 PSA, ladies! It’s time for your annual mammogram —because early detection saves lives! 💖 Mammos after 40 = Self-care & peace of mind! 💖 Takes just 20 minutes! (Faster than your Starbucks run ☕) 💖 Smash those boobs, not your chances! 👉 No excuses—schedule your mammogram to NOW ON YOUTUBE !!! Thank you for Listening!

Send us a text 📢I talk🎙️w i th Mara Smith , Founder and CEO of Inspiro Tequila 👏🍷 🎇 🎉 ✨ 👏 🥂 😁 Mara is by far the most educated woman I've interviewed in our industry. She's not only a big Chicago law firm lawyer , she is also a CPA ! 🎓🎓💃 🎇 She took the most amazing path from A to Z in building a tequila brand. If you want to build a brand, she's has an amazing path for you to follow! She jumped all in from the beginning and entered and won WSWA's best tequila and mezcal category. She's well known in the Press , she even has a feature in Forbes . She's using PR to help promote her brand and has been on many TV news segments and podcasts. She's also very active in women-led initiatives helping other women. We explore Mara's journey from a successful career in law and corporate strategy to entrepreneurship. We talk about the importance of adaptability, the entrepreneurial spirit, and the evolving landscape of the beverage industry. She highlights the importance of quality, research, and innovative production methods, including the unique aging process in rosé wine barrels. Entrepreneurs wanting to start a new brand must know the importance of hitting the 4 P's in today's market: Positioning, Product, Packaging, and Purpose. Also of note is the significance of packaging and branding in a crowded market. You're tequila MUST STAND APART to gain attention.
