Sanzo - Traditional Asian Flavors with a Modern Taste
This episode is brought to you by Yotpo.   Sandro says, “A lot of what I'd seen in the grocery aisles were Asian-inspired beverages I loved from childhood, but they filled these beverages with a lot of sugar preservatives. And the labels hadn't been updated in 20 or 30 years. These were beverages I couldn't drink anymore, because I'd learned more about health and wellness and the impact of a high-sugar diet on your health, but they were still flavors that I wanted to like experience in my life.”   Today we talked with Sandro Roco, Founder and CEO of Sanzo. Sanzo is the first Asian-inspired sparkling water brand with real fruit flavors and no added sugar. Their vision is to create a bridge between traditional Asian flavors and modern taste. We discussed so many topics, from the product to building a consumer packaged goods brand, and the lessons he learned from his previous startup, including:   * Reflections on their 3rd year anniversary * Grateful for a job at an early startup and the experience and trust he received * Learning from other entrepreneurs with more experience * How he invests in and develops employees in a growing startup * Why culture building is part of employee development * A 360 overview of the brand * Why Sanzo is a manifestation of his own self-actualization journey * The uniqueness of the Sanzo beverage * Why Sanzo is really about representation * Why there hasn’t be a brand like Sanzo before * The value of attractive packaging for the consumer and retailer * The secret of Sanzo’s early success with retailers * What’s something about Sanzo that consumers don’t know * Why legacy is so important for Sandro * The simple elegance of their ingredients: real fruit and sparkling water * A walk through the Sanzo flavors * Inspiration for aspiring food and beverage entrepreneurs   Join Ramon Vela and Sandro Roco as we break down the inside story of Sanzo, on The Story of a Brand.   For more on Sanzo, visit: https://drinksanzo.com/    Subscribe and Listen to the podcast on all major apps.
