How Alix Peabody Built Bev After 200 Rejections | Be Anomalous by Sai Menon

In this episode of Be Anomalous, Sai Menon sits down with entrepreneur and Bev founder Alix Peabody for an honest conversation about what it really takes to build something from nothing.From growing up between countries and cultures, to pitching 200+ investors, building in a male-dominated industry, and eventually exiting Bev, Alix opens up about the emotional and mental realities of entrepreneurship that rarely get talked about publicly.This isn’t just a conversation about startups.It’s about ambition, resilience, intuition, loneliness, reinvention — and learning who you are outside the company you built.In this episode, we talk about:* Building Bev from scratch* Navigating fundraising as a female founder* Why rejection became fuel* Founder burnout and life after exit* The emotional weight of leadership* Hiring, intuition, and building the right team* Entrepreneurship vs identity* Mental health, sleep, and rebuilding after success* Why there’s never a “perfect time” to startAlix also shares the mindset shifts that helped her survive the chaos of startup life — and the advice she’d give anyone bold enough to build something unconventional.“If you’re a founder, creative, or someone trying to carve your own path… this episode is for you.”Be bold. Be real.
