From Chaos to Clarity

Chris Hunter started his first company at twenty-five, which makes sense once you hear what it was. The multi-time entrepreneur and creative force behind Koia sits down with the band to talk about his journey through the beverage space, beginning as a nightclub bouncer and ending as a holistic, health conscious dad. Oh, and along the way he also sparked one of the biggest beverage controversies of the 21st century and single-handedly changed federal law when he started a company that begins with “Four” and ends with “Loko”.Plus, the thing you all come to the Speakeasy for: deep dive economic analysis! Greg unpacks the increasingly popular “no tax on tips” notion and why certain thinkers love to hate it.Follow Chris on Instagram at: @__christopherhunter__Follow Koia on Instagram and TikTok at @drinkkoiaLove The Speakeasy but wish there was more?
