Long-time listeners know we love it when previous guests return! On this episode, Finian Sedgwick, chief growth officer at BAXUS, comes back onto the podcast.
Finian and David chat about the growth of BAXUS and the BoozApp, including new features for the peer-to-peer marketplace, popular bottles and spirits categories, and the rabbit hole members can go down when searching for items to purchase and trade. They also talk about bottles that have grabbed Finian's attention, why he's bullish on wine, and how alcohol-free cocktail menus are more important than some operators may think.
Speaking of operators, the two also discuss the doom-and-gloom articles blaming Millennials and Gen Z for "killing" or otherwise "ruining" alcohol consumption and sales. Is that really the state of booze, or are people rage-baiting for clicks, and are some operators failing to meet their guests where they are?
