Summary

In this episode, Lars Miller and David Gonzalez interview Aaron Naschbich, the founder of Brēz, a fast-growing THC and functional beverage brand.

Aaron shares his background as an entrepreneur and marketer, and how it led him to create Brēz. The brand story behind Brēz is about providing a better alternative to alcohol, allowing people to feel better without feeling worse.

Building in public has been beneficial for Brēz, as it has allowed them to receive support and solutions from the community. However, there have also been drawbacks, such as jealousy and copycats.
