Discussing the balancing act of maintaining a friendship while building a business, we dive into their daily rituals, the strategic marketing moves targeting women buyers, and how they've harnessed data to pivot towards the ripe market of beer gifting.

As the conversation turns toward personal anecdotes about friendship, shared responsibilities and the excitement over which Co-founders know each other better, we showcase the importance of partnership within entrepreneurship. Niki and Quinn are another tale of two friends pouring their passion into a venture that's as much about community as it is about commerce.
