  • Kayla Castañeda: This woman left her job at Coca-Cola to launch her own 'aguas frescas' company
    Apr 30 2025

    When Kayla Casteñeda was a child, she spent several days at her grandparent's house in Central California — where she learned how to prepare “aguas frescas” with the ripe fruit that her grandfather, a farmworker, collected from the fields. “Agua fresca,” which literally translates to “fresh water,” is a popular type of beverage in Mexico and Latin America. The drink is made from an array of fruits, flowers or seeds blended with water and sugar. In the middle of the pandemic, Castañeda decided to honor her family’s heritage and created Agua Bonita, a brand of canned aguas frescas that contain 80% less sugar than the traditional Latin American drinks. Today, Agua Bonita is a full-fledged business that is available in more than 1,000 stores across the country, including Walmart.

  • Diego Osorio: How this actor convinced LeBron James and Arnold Schwarzenegger to take a shot on his tequila business
    Mar 26 2025
    Tequila has become one of the favorite spirits in the U.S. So much so that according to the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States, the consumption of the iconic Mexican beverage has grown 294% since 2003. The industry is so competitive that when Spanish American actor Diego Osorio decided to venture into the spirits world, he knew he needed to distinguish himself from other brands, so he launched Lobos 1707, a tequila brand inspired by his family that blends Mexican and Spanish aging techniques in its portfolio. Today, Lobos 1707 products are available in BevMo and Total Wine Stores across the country. Diego Osorio joins Bísness School to tell us how his acting career inspired him to become an entrepreneur, how a family discovery shaped Lobos 1707 and how an unexpected phone call from NBA legend LeBron James helped him launch his business in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. This episode was produced by Miguel Estrada. It was edited by James Jeffrey. Follow Lobos 1707 at @lobos1707. Follow Ashley Chaparro at @ashleychaparro23.
