Ep. 150 - Turning a 401k into Rosé: The Wild Story of Founding Bev & Creating a Brand Dedicated to Female Empowerment with Alix Peabody

Almost 30

Alix Peabody founded Bev, the rosé “made by chicks” and drank by, well, anyone who enjoys a tasty rosé wine!

We admire the way that Alix walks the walk and talks the talk, nurturing Bev into not just a beverage company but also a mission-driven brand dedicated to female empowerment. Her story is wild, and she’s been a mentor to us over the past few crazy months. She’s helping us grow and spread our wings – and we know she’ll be an expander for you too!

We discuss…

• The Bev mission statement
• Going on destination first dates (like Hawaii with a guy you’ve never met before)
• How the male-dominated social scene in college led Alix down the path to starting Bev
• Experiencing ovarian torsion
• Creating the first bar designed with women in mind
• Investing her 401k into rosé
• Finding a wine supplier on Hinge
• Attending four high schools in three countries
• The loophole that allows Bev to sell wine directly to consumers, without a distributor
• What people don’t see in building a business
• Working in and running a business with radical transparency
• Knowing your worth
