On this episode of Dana Delivers, Dana is joined by Christa Cotton, the Georgia-born CEO of the cocktail brand El Guapo. Christa shares a bit of her journey from advertising to Top Chef to entrepreneurship, and how she’s turned El Guapo from a local trademark to a national sensation in just a few years. But don’t think it was all smooth sailing – Christa explains how the pandemic destroyed her big break with Costco and almost ended it all. Tune in to hear more about how this self-described mom-first and entrepreneur-second queen of home cocktails built her empire.
