Working with Troy Aikman. Calling out Instagram business gurus. Buying enough beer cans to last for years. We cover some ground in this one.

I sit down with Ruchi Desai, co-founder of EIGHT Elite Light Lager, to talk about building a brand and everything that comes with it. From her career in trading and law to launching a beer company, Ruchi shares the decisions, mistakes and lessons behind the business.

We get into:

• What working with Troy Aikman taught her about preparation and standards. • Why EIGHT changed its packaging after watching how people actually shop. • Why “my product is for everyone” can hurt your marketing. • How she’d spend a $5,000 marketing budget. • The expensive mistake of buying way too many cans. • Why saving clients time is my first priority at FX Web Media.

We also talk about family, becoming a mom, and the difference between looking successful online and doing the daily work of running a company.

If you own a business, want to start one, or just want to hear what went into building EIGHT, this episode is for you.
