326: How Two Friends Created A Million Dollar Wine Business During The Pandemic

This week in the guest chair we have Erica Davis, the CEO & Founder of The Sip, a lifestyle brand that focuses on the education and discovery of champagne and sparkling wine. Along with Co-Founder Catherine Carter, Erica has opened the door for many people, especially women, to discover and indulge in the luxury of champagne. As an Oakland native, Erica made it her mission through The Sip to give back to the city through charitable initiatives coupled with every purchase. 

In this episode Erica shares:

• How working at a startup prepared her for entrepreneurship 
• How she balances work and relationship with her best friend/co-founder
• Her mission to change how alcohol is marketed to women
