A spicy update from the creator of a unique brand of throat lozenges.
Notes from Chris
Episode 2014
Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone who’s story has evolved considerably since we first featured them. Last week, we heard from the owner of two businesses in New York City: a clothing line and a fashion boutique that features 25+ BIPOC-owned brands. Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from Brett Johnson, the creator of Fire Drops, an organic throat lozenge with cayenne pepper. What’s happened since? First, he created a couple of other products: Honey Hots and Elder Embers. These have a bit less cayenne for those who are intimidated by Fire Drops. What’s happened since?MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
