On this week's episode we sat down with Sandro (@alessandroroco) who learned early on that other peoples worlds weren't as colorful as where he grew up. A lack of representation in college combined with his Filipino upbringing made Sandro competitive and he initially jumped into traditional career fields. None, however, felt quite right until he fell into the world of entrepreneurship. More specifically, Sandro started noticing the seltzer water boom...but something was missing. While balancing his day job, Sandro launched Sanzo (@drinksanzo), an Asian-inspired sparkling water brand. Today, Sandro has raised over $10 million in funding and has since partnered with Whole Foods and brands like Marvel on custom sparkling water combos featuring ingredients like lychee and yuzu.
