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.
