Exploring the Founder’s Journey: Laura left a successful corporate sales career, got sober, and sold her husband's wine collection to fund a mocktail brand now backed by Bethenny Frankel. Carl sits down at Soft Bar with the founder of Mingle Mocktails, Laura Taylor, to talk leaving corporate, betting on the non-alc boom early, and what it really takes to build something from nothing.
