35. Hot Spot: Jen Batchelor of Kin Euphorics

When you're innovating in a category, there is no clear roadmap––you have to pave your own path. This week's guest did just that and focused on creating a brand, building community and tapping into the deep social connection that we all so desperately crave. On this episode of the Hot Spot series, Gabriel Ornelas chats with Jen Batchelor, Co-founder and CEO of Kin Euphorics, functional non-alcoholic adult beverages made with adaptogens, nootropics and botanicals. Each of their mood-boosting blends were developed to uplift, balance and create joy.    Jen launched the company in 2018, and since then it has developed a cult-like following among the sober curious and those simply looking to re-examine their relationship with the ritual of drinking. One thing drinking for centuries has gotten right is it brings people together; creating community and fostering memorable experiences. Jen and her team have taken a special focus on developing and building the Kin community, with social connection at its core. Even during the pandemic, they challenged themselves to create social moments and experiences where people could connect, express themselves and find a bit of joy in what was a dark and uncertain time for many.    Join us on a journey into the world of Kin Euphorics. Their drink lineup includes a handful of staples: High Rhode (Kin's version of an aperitif), Dream Light (Kin's version of a nightcap), Kin Spritz (Kin's bestselling blend) and Lightwave (their newest launch). The attention to detail on the ingredients used and the science behind these products is fascinating.
