“There is no greater fear for me than not living life to the fullest. It’s much less scary for me to get rejected, than it is to not try.”

On this week’s episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast, I sit down with the amazing Mélanie Masarin. Mélanie is a Forbes 30 Under 30 alum and the Founder & CEO of the non-alcoholic aperitif brand Ghia. We talk about Mélanie’s path from growing up in the South of France to working for Goldman Sachs and many large retail brands, how her struggle with finding healthy food in the US has influenced her career, why she stopped drinking and what led to her idea for Ghia, the challenges of launching Ghia during the pandemic, the surprisingly diverse adopters of Ghia, what drinking less has done for her life, why she’s essentially stopped using email, why regret is more powerful than fear, her advice to entrepreneurs starting out, and how she’s building a beverage brand of the future.
