HATCH CEO & Founder Jennifer Harrington is the guest on this month's Sips N Swigs. This podcast provides an actionable blueprint on how to build a plan to test, feed and grow your brand whether you are big or small. I love the 4C’s lens: Company, Customer, Competition, Culture.

In this episode, Angela shares how she successfully pivoted into the wine industry by leveraging her core business and technical skills in fresh, innovative ways. If you’ve ever considered a career change or want to learn how to transfer your talents across industries, this conversation is for you.
