“A team is so much more important than titles.” At BLACC Bottle, we’ve seen firsthand how powerful a team can be when united by shared passion and purpose. Titles define roles, but it’s the dedication, sacrifice, and belief in a greater mission that make the real difference. When you find individuals willing to set aside personal advancement for the success of the team, that’s the team to hold on to. It’s no longer just work—it becomes a movement driven by collective strength and commitment. Proud of what we’re building together and grateful for a team that lifts each other up every step of the way. #Teamwork #PassionAndPurpose #BLACCBottle #StrongerTogether #SacrificeForTheTeam

I truly believe the first 7 employees are one of the biggest factors in determining a company’s success. 💡 For me, the first few hires are everything. These early teammates don’t just fill roles—they set the tone for the entire company. They define our culture, set the bar for work ethic, and shape the identity of who we are and how we operate. What I find surprising is that in many conversations with investors, there’s so much focus on product, market fit, and growth strategies, yet very little emphasis on a team’s ability to build, scale, and manage an organization. For me, this is one of the most critical elements of any startup’s success—your ability to grow an internal organization can make or break your company. This leads to one of my core beliefs: there are always two products to build in any company—the one for your customers, and the one within your organization, your team. Startups often overlook how vital it is to build a strong internal team, but this is where the real magic happens. 🪄 Today, I’m excited to welcome Tyler Shortt to the team as our VP of Revenue. Tyler’s 16+ years of experience, especially in the wine and spirits industry, make him the perfect addition to Hippie Water. He’s a bar raiser, and I know he’ll help us not only grow revenue but also raise the level of thinking, interaction, and performance across the board. Let’s begin building. Welcome, Tyler! 🙌 Already have eyes on employee #2 👀 You know who you are.

Next up in our Big Dwayne Energy employee spotlight series, where we showcase our incredible team is... Olcomendy, George - VP, National Accounts ⚡️ 1. How are you bringing Big Dwayne Energy to ZOA? First, I truly believe that this brand is one of the best tasting energy drinks on the market. I am committed to making sure this brand is growing and is available across the country in all our leading retailers. If this product is not available, how can they experience the brand. I wake up every day energized to find ways for our retail partners to bring on ZOA Energy. BDE is a mindset that I carry across the organization to inspire others. 2. What is your favorite thing about working at ZOA? Definitely the people and the culture that has been developed here over the last 3 years. I come to work energized by the folks that surround me every day. By far, this has been the most fun and rewarding job I have had. Make no mistake, it's never easy but coming to work everyday here has been a moment in time that I will never forget. 3. If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? It would have to be pasta. Any type. I cannot imagine not having an option in a meal selection that does not have pasta. I absolutely loved my mom’s homemade pasta sauce. 4. What is your favorite ZOA flavor and why? Frosted Grape. Can’t really figure out why, as grape has never really been a favorite flavor of mine but I LOVE ZOA Frosted Grape. 5. What is your biggest Big Dwayne Energy moment? Two moments stick out for me. First would be our XFL tie in with HEB. We had the opportunity for our founders meet and greet at HEB in-store and then experienced the XFL championship game with all in San Antonio. Second would be a most recent win, bringing Albertsons Companies on board nationally. It has been a work in the making for a long time and just being able to tell our entire team of the win, brought out a Big Dwayne Energy moment that I will not forget. #ZOAEnergy #BigDwayneEnergy #EmployeeSpotlight #SalesTeam

In 2024, major food and beverage giants are reshuffling their leadership teams, aiming to adjust strategies in response to the post-pandemic landscape, enhancing market competitiveness, and addressing weakened consumption and innovation demands.

🍻 The craft roll ups continue. You might have missed this one from two weeks ago because the news is so constant, but I wanted to share with some commentary. Key Brewing Co. and Monument City Brewing Company, LLC announced a joining of forces to create one of Maryland's strongest, independent brewing platforms. Both breweries have decent volume, but land in that range where you need to make moves or wither. That's the main reason I like this move. Combined, they are a competitive entity with two great local brands. On their own erosion would probably pull them down over the next year or two. They are maintaining each brand portfolio, but creating a new taproom concept that features both brands. All the more reason to visit. The Maryland brew scene has taken a lot of hits lately and this is the type of maneuvering its going to take to KEEP production and jobs in the area. Maryland had 113 breweries reporting production in 2023. Some have already moved on or merged out. All individual entities were in the 10K and below barrel production. There's no hard and fast number, but somewhere around that 10K mark is a competitive, local, distributing brewery. Anything in the 5K range or below that is distributed into retail is really going to struggle - for the most part. There are exceptions to every rule. These mergers, buy-outs, and platform roll ups are becoming very common. I believe they are very good for the industry. What I am hoping is that moves like this stabilize the back of house efforts so that these brands can focus on better consumer marketing and actual innovation. Thoughts? https://lnkd.in/ehAfZBAu
