The Business of Alcohol-Free Living | Stephanie Styll

Stephanie Styll, founder of Killjoy, shares how she turned a personal decision to quit drinking into Nashville's first alcohol-free beverage shop. From getting fired moments after pitching her "exit plan" to navigating the fast-growing zero-proof market, Stephanie unpacks the realities of experiential retail, the challenges of working with family, and how to disrupt an industry by creating community rather than just selling products. ----- YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@foundersclubpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/foundersclub.pod/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://founders.club/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ----- Download the FC app: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://app.founders.club/download⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ----- FC Events Calendar: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.addevent.com/calendar/Mi881038⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ----- FOLLOW THE HOSTS: Vincent Phamvan (Founder, ⁠Vyten⁠): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/vincentpv/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Spencer Donaldson (Founder, ⁠Captive Demand⁠): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/spence_donaldson/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Megan J Bruneau (Founder, ⁠Off The Field Coaching⁠): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/meganjbruneau/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Alex Lagos (Founder, ⁠Lagos Creative⁠): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mralexlagos/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ----- Produced by ⁠Lagos Creative
