In this episode, CoupleCo
leaves the country for the moon—specifically, the Crazy Moon
brewery in Cholula Puebla, Mexico. This business is run by an old,
Connecticut friend of Blaine’s and his Mexican wife. John and Alma
are serial entrepreneurs who started this craft brewery in time for
a global pandemic—which they have survived as they enter into a new
funding series for taking their brewery to the next level. They
make excellent beer. They confronted the challenges of the
pandemic by keeping everyone on their staff employed and doing the
pivots required to keep the revenue coming. They’re raising funding
with the ultimate goal of building a newer, bigger brewery and
exporting their beer to the US. They’re also great company,
and provide excellent insight into the trials and tribulations of
running a business together with the added bonus of cultural
duality.
