Crafting a Successful Business from Scratch with Adam Higginbotham
In this episode, we do speak about alcohol consumption as it relates to the company founded by this week’s guest. This could be triggering for anyone who struggles with alcohol use so please choose wisely if this is the right episode for you.
In this episode, I’m introducing you to Adam Higginbotham, one of three co-founders of Liber & Co. Essential Cocktail Syrups based in Austin, TX. Liber & Co. is a leading manufacturer of premium quality cocktail syrups for professional beverage programs and home bartenders alike.
Adam is also a husband and father and in this episode, we speak about the important role his family plays in his entrepreneurial journey and what helps him to juggle the demands of work life and family life.
Adam's origin story is inspiring. In this episode we dive into how he and two college friends, one of whom is his identical twin brother, turned a hobby into a successful business, the challenges he’s faced in transitioning from a founder-operator to a more executive role as the company has grown, how he finds the balance between being a confident leader, while still modeling humility and a growth mindset, and more.
