Tequila Dreams, Mark Sanchez Mayhem, and LeBron’s Final Act | Midlife Crisis Ep. 28

In this episode, the guys welcome Daniel Martinez, CEO and co-founder of Mas Vida Tequila, to talk about launching a tequila brand from scratch and reflecting on creative growth, friendship, and hitting your 30s. Daniel shares how late-night drinks with roommates evolved into a full-fledged brand inspired by his roots in Jalisco, Mexico, and a drive to turn passion into profit. They dive into lessons on collaboration (“you can’t do it alone”), staying curious, and the importance of playing the cards in front of you instead of waiting for the perfect moment.
