New local company Liquid Kudos encourages you to experience exceptional BC wine, spirits and more. Founders Rhona Stanislaus and Shannan Schimmelmann take pride in continually learning about the best BC beverage produces have to offer and encourage you to join them.
What is something you wish you knew when you first began?
Well, it certainly would have been helpful to know COVID-19 would launch right around the same time as Liquid Kudos! Humour aside, as we started Liquid Kudos, we at times got caught up in varying degrees of perfectionism. We’ve come to recognize that failure is part of the process, and to expect that it is part of life as an entrepreneur. We’ve come to accept we will learn from mistakes we make along the way, what is working and what isn’t, adapt and keep moving forward. At times we want the business to progress more quickly, but we are there to remind each other that building a business and a brand takes time.
What is something people might not know about Liquid Kudos?
Liquid Kudos was a way to follow our passion for the BC beverage industry. We want to be a part of increasing awareness of exceptional BC wine and spirits across Canada. Our beverage club is open to Canadians of legal drinking age who are interested in exploring and enjoying BC wine and spirits. What’s unique is there is no ongoing purchase commitment. Members are always in control of what they purchase and when.
We are also very interested in the business end of things. We see a role for us in supporting business owners and the industry as a whole. We have decades of experience related to financial planning and financial management, policy, supply chain management, international business, travel and tourism, hospitality, food and beverage and recreation.
