Description

It's a bittersweet moment. My kids are officially back at school. And that means summer is over (is it though? I'm in denial).

Evan Quinn is Co-Founder and CEO at hiyo. Hiyo is a stress-relieving social tonic (new category) mindfully crafted with natural adaptogens, nootropics, and functional botanicals to be a better-than-alcohol alternative. Founded in 2021, they're DTC and also in 6,000+ retail locations.


Here’s what we cover:

  • What does it take to get into retail stores;

    Tell me about your customer superfans;

    When customers feel like family, the game changes;

    An umbrella with an origin story is not just an umbrella

    How you incorporate customers as part of your growth efforts in unique and creative ways;

    What’s been challenging.
