Everyone wants the secret to success but the truth is, there isn't one.
In this episode of Mocktails with Marina, we're getting brutally honest about what it actually takes to reach long-term stability and profitability as a non-alcoholic business owner. From balancing your nervous system to facing rejection head-on, Marina breaks down the five principles that separate sustainable founders from burnout-prone dreamers.
Forget the 30-day success hacks and "10K in a month" formulas; this is about the real work: emotional regulation, consistency, community, and courage.
Whether you're running a kava bar, bottle shop, non-alc beverage brand, or consulting business, this conversation will help you reframe what progress truly looks like and remind you that the path to profit is never linear but always worth it.
In this episode, you'll learn:
-
Why "linear growth" is a myth (and what sustainable progress really looks like)
-
The 5 habits of long-term stability in business
-
How to recognize your "glass ceiling" moment and break through it
-
The mindset shift that turns chaos into calm and burnout into balance
-
Why most businesses fail within 3–5 years and how to design yours to last
If you're building a functional solo or family business in the non-alcoholic industry (bar, bottle shop, beverage brand, or coaching company) and want personalized guidance, visit www.marinamars.com/contact to start the conversation.
Because sustainability isn't about sprinting; it's about learning how to build a business that breathes with you.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
