TOPIC: Spilling The Truth: Building a Beverage Brand That Dares To Be Different
Speaker: Jennie Ripps, Co-Founder & CEO, Owl’s Brew
Facilitated by Penny Goffman, Host & Community Connector & Founder, THATPENNY | CONNECT, with local powerhouse speakers, Q&A to follow
Calling all women who challenge big industry status quo – this is the POWERChat for you! The beverage industry is crowded, cutthroat, and dominated by big players with deep pockets. Breaking in, and building, takes more than a good idea. It takes grit, resilience, and a willingness to challenge the norms. Join us in unfiltered conversation about what it really takes to build a boozy beverage brand from scratch. From being told “no”, to fighting shelf space, to proving that clean, functional ingredients belong in alcohol, Jennie pulls back the curtain on the realities of the industry, and how she pushed through them. She’ll reveal hard-earned lessons from scaling without losing integrity, what it takes to stand out, staying scrappy, and winning trust in a skeptical industry. This isn’t a polished success story, it’s an honest look at the obstacles, missteps, and breakthroughs behind building a brand that dares to be different. You may even discover your new favorite drink!
