The CBD Mixer with First Mover Status with Jonathan Shultz, President Backyard Soda with special co-host Kevin Scott, beverage expert Episode 102

Is it better to be first into a category or be second but best tasting? Backyard Soda has 'First Mover Status' and with a clean label and delicious ingredients, they can lay claim to both!

Jonathan Schultz, CEO of Backyard Soda Co. is capitalizing on the novelty of CBD by offering an on-premises mixer and syrup for sophisticated craft cocktails. Can he parlay on-prem into greater retail distribution? That's the plan! Find out who his distribution partner is!
