Tell us what you like or dislike about this episode!! Be honest, we don't bite!
This week, I had the pleasure of chatting with Erika Doyle, the mastermind behind Drink Dry, shaking up the beverage scene in the GCC like never before.
We delved into Erika's journey, her reasons for going alcohol-free, and her pioneering work in the non-alcoholic movement. But it's not just about drinks; we discussed health, wellness, and breaking stereotypes.
Erika shared the ups and downs of building Drink Dry, from tackling gender dynamics to navigating global markets and industry conflicts. We also looked ahead to the exciting future of non-alcoholic beverages.
So, grab your favorite non-alcoholic beverage (maybe a Drink Dry?), relax, and join us for an hour of wisdom, laughs, and entrepreneurial inspiration. Don't miss it!
