It's Not That Deep Podcast He Broke His Spine, Then Built a Botanical Empire | Evan Kluge of SURENITEA
This week, I chat with my good friend Evan Kluge, founder of Serenity, Miami's innovative botanical wellness bar that's changing how people socialize without alcohol.
In this episode, Evan shares his incredible journey from a devastating car accident that severed his spine to discovering the healing power of plant-based alternatives like Mitragyna speciosa (commonly known as Kratom) and Kava. We dive deep into how this personal health crisis led him to create meticulously formulated botanical products that provide focus, clarity, and relaxation without the negative effects of alcohol or pharmaceuticals.Evan opens up about the struggles of entrepreneurship, the challenges of building a premium wellness brand, and his vision to create the "Starbucks of botanicals." We discuss everything from sourcing ingredients directly from farms in Indonesia to creating a high-end social space where people can connect authentically without the downsides of traditional nightlife.Whether you're curious about botanical alternatives, entrepreneurship, or creating meaningful social spaces, Evan's story will inspire you to think differently about wellness, community, and what it takes to build something truly revolutionary.
