Ghia founder Melanie Masarin shares how she came to be a pioneer in the nonalcoholic beverage space, and why quitting drinking was the best she ever did for her productivity and her wellbeing. In the episode we discuss:

-How her upbringing in France informed her drinking choices in later life

-How the drinking culture in France differs from that in the UK and US

-Cutting out alcohol to try to diagnose her stomach issues – and discovering how good it felt not to drink

-Why not drinking is integral to her success as an entrepreneur 

-Why taking a month off booze isn’t really enough to experience all the benefits of living alcohol-free

-The prophetic conversation that led to her coming up with the concept for Ghia

-Her go-to drink when there is no Ghia on the menu

-The social value of European “Aperitivo” culture - and why we don’t need alcohol to enjoy it

-Not providing options for non-drinkers as a form of social discrimination

-Why she has over-invested in getting Ghia into hospitality venues and the long-term vision attached to this

-Being “sober curious” with cigarettes and coffee

-Her experiences of the “Cali Sober” scene in LA
