  • 676. 6 Quick Questions with GOVERRE's Regan Kelaher and Shannon Zappala (Part 2)

    11:14
    Hello! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl.I am so excited to bring you this special mini-series on the pod that is centred around failure. The next three weeks we are going to be diving in and reflecting on some of our favourite episodes that are all about embracing failure and turning it into your greatest asset - because we’ve all been there. Failing is literally just part of the journey whether we like it or not. For the second episode of the three-part series, I'm joined by the two co-founders of Goverre, Regan Kelaher and Shannon Zappala. Shannon and Regan, began collaborating on all things ‘wine’ in 2015. Their passion for great wine, dislike of plastic glasses and a love for Southern California’s outdoor lifestyle led to the birth of GOVERRE. GOVERRE is a portable wine glass tumbler with silicone sleeve and a drink-through lid.In this episode you’ll hear their lesson learned after a first failed attempt at a kickstarter, what happened after they went on shark tank and were hit with a major lawsuit, and what they wish they did differently if they had their time over.If you have a story to share all around failure, we would love for you to share it in our Facebook Group. Come in, join us, and be a part of the conversation. Alrighty!
