šŸ† Growth Capital Podcast - Episode 45 šŸ†


What does it take to risk everything — and still push forward?


In this episode of the Growth Capital Podcast, host Justin Dixon sits down with Amy Bett, Co-Founder & CEO of Melo, a sparkling kava beverage disrupting the non-alcoholic drinks market.


Amy shares how a personal struggle with alcohol inspired her to create an alternative, how a family crisis shaped her entrepreneurial grit, and why she left Australia to launch her business in the U.S. — moving alone, renting a room, and betting on herself.


From overcoming supply chain setbacks to breaking into national retail chains, Amy’s story is a candid look at resilience, sacrifice, and the founder’s mindset required to scale in consumer packaged goods.


šŸ” What you’ll learn in this episode:



  • Why true growth demands stepping beyond comfort

  • How to build a beverage brand without industry experience

  • The role of storytelling and pitch competitions in breaking into retail

  • Why founders need thick skin to survive CPG scaling challenges
