Alyse Borkan has been one of the brains behind building some of the fastest-growing startups in recent years including Billie, Casper, and SoulCycle, and now Rocco. Rocco was founded in New York by startup vets Alyse Borkan and Sam Naparstek after realizing just how outdated the home appliance space really was, especially when it came to fridges. At the same time, drinks were getting more interesting at home: think canned cocktails, non-alcoholic aperitivos, and sparkling everything. So they launched The Super Smart Fridge just more than a year ago, and basically created a whole new category: a design-forward, tech-powered drinks fridge made for hosting.IG roccofridge | roccofridge.comFind Me:IG + TikTok citrusdiaries.studiocitrusdiaries.com | hello@citrusdiaries.comCreate your podcast today! #madeonzencastr

When Hannah was first introduced to matcha by a friend who had spent time in Japan, it was love at first sip. The energy she felt was unlike anything she’d experienced before: alert, yet calm. As she did more research, she found that most matcha companies at the time offered little-to-no visibility into their matcha’s origin. This matcha was often blended at a distributor using leaves from various farms, making it near-impossible to identify the original source.Matchaful is a female-founded purveyor of sustainable botanical nutrition that nourishes mind, body and spirit. Inspired by ancient Japanese principles, Matchaful’s intentional and creative menu seeks to nourish, restore and delight. We exist to ground you in the moment and empower you with every sip and bite.IG chiefmatchaofficer , matchaful | matchaful.comFind Me:IG + TikTok citrusdiaries.studiocitrusdiaries.com | hello@citrusdiaries.comCreate your podcast today! #madeonzencastr
