Today we have a story of following your passion, creating a business based on the things you value with a bit of a David and Goliath scene thrown in for good measure and definitely lots to learn. Bret Caretsky shares his journey of going from a small seasonal juice bar in Montauk to opening a coffee shop in NY to licensing a lifestyle brand and drink. On the way, he and his partner created the unicorn drink, an idea that was stolen by Starbucks. They fought for their invention, sued Starbucks, and won! Join us for the conversation.
