In this episode…

It's no secret that many people rely on alcohol to socialize and unwind. So, as a mindful drinker or a curious sober person, where can you get non-alcoholic drinks you enjoy? 

According to Laura Silverman, people are becoming more aware of their relationship with alcohol and are choosing to be more intentional about their consumption. More people are turning to non-alcoholic drinks for various reasons, including health, mental wellness, or to try something new. Entrepreneurs are seizing this opportunity by creating innovative and delicious non-alcoholic beverages that cater to the sober community. Laura shares her journey of building a zero-proof community to foster a sense of belonging for those who abstain from spirits and to serve as a platform for entrepreneurs to share ideas, gain support, and promote their products.

On this episode of the Firebelly Social Show, Duncan Alney and Arnelle Mitchell talk with Laura Silverman, Founder of Zero Proof Nation, about amplifying the zero-proof movement. Laura talks about the genesis of Zero Proof Nation and what it does, why people are turning to non-alcoholic drinks, the difference between zero-proof beverages and traditional cocktails, and the role of the alcohol companies in the zero-proof market.

David Begg is one of those hospitality obsessives regular listeners will know I love to meet.  Another one of those humans that has a little tiny seedling of an idea, that turns into an obsession that turns into an utterly awesome product that then enhances all of our worlds of food, drink and hospitality.

And this time I’m talking about Kombucha.  But not just any Kombucha, but the sort that is now sitting on the menus of many of the finest Michelin starred restaurants around the country proudly sitting along side Prosecco and champagne as an alcohol free alternative.  You see it transpires that if you ferment some of the finest tea leaves, picked young in some of the worlds best tea gardens, with some Mother cultures, a little bit of magic and a whole heap of David’s obsession, you can create something beautiful and complex and light and delicious.

We’ll chat to David about alcohol eating bacteria, DNA tested cultures that could be hundreds of years old, 150 different types of tea, don’t worry, we won’t go into detail on all of them, picking tea leaves whilst their young and different days picks and how rubbing the leaves around a hot wok can transform the end result.  But as well as a great product, this is also a great story of David the businessmen and how a chance over dinner drink with yoga and wellness guru Howard Napper sent David off on a journey.  And David has an entrepreneurial brain having previously been involved in the technology that later became booking.com and selling furniture in over 62 countries through the business ‘Tom Dixon’ that he co-founded.

I’m confident you’ll enjoy this chat and by the end of it have a whole heap of knew knowledge, be desperate to try David’s Real Kombucha and be inspired by another business story.
