In my best Lil Kim voice "I been gone for a minute now I'm back at the jump-off!" It's been a good 2-3 months since I dropped my last episode of Rewind With Besa, and honestly as cute as the green screen was, it was never perfect because of the lighting in my apartment. However, now that we have our new studios up and running at iHeart Media Seattle, it's time to get back to work!

I'm happy to say my first interview coming back is with Brett Berish, who happens to be the CEO and President of Sovereign Brands which sells brands like Luc Belaire, Bumbu Rum, McQueen and the Violet Fog, and Villon.

What I loved most about this interview was all of the gems Brett dropped, it's so easy to get to a point in your career where you feel like you don't have to give advice, you don't need to tell your story anymore, or help the next one on their way up. However, Brett on the other hand 🙌🏾 let me tell you, if you're starting a brand and watch this interview without taking notes, you'll be doing yourself a disservice You’ve Been Warned!

Some of the things I asked Brett was "Do you make the brand or do your consumers/customers make the brand?" "Did you need to find yourself before creating a number one brand?" "Why did people say Luc Belaire would flop?" and because Brett's podcast is called "Self Made" I definitely asked him what self-made meant to him.
