Only a select few entrepreneurs can claim half a century of transformative industry experience. This week on That Entrepreneur Show, we host a true legend: Ron Rubin, Executive Chairman of The Republic of Tea and owner of River Road Family Vineyards and Winery.
With a 50-year journey that spans acquiring a 22-month-old tea company and growing it to over 350 products, to scaling a winery and achieving Certified B Corp status, Ron has navigated—and won—the long game of business. Now, he's distilled his wisdom into his upcoming book, GOLD IN YOUR BACKYARD: Lessons in Life, Leadership and The Power of a Dream.
In this incredible episode, Ron shares the invaluable wisdom needed to beat the daunting startup failure odds, including:
- The 40-Year Dream: Ron's personal story of commitment and the strategies he used over decades to turn his entrepreneurial vision into a reality.
- Cracking the Big Accounts: How to gain partnerships with giants like Panera, Total Wines, and other major brands, and the strategic approach required to earn a spot on their shelves.
- The Power of Purpose: Why he converted his winery to a Certified B Corporation and the immense benefits of leading a mission-driven business.
- The Playbook: The three keys to building a business to become the best it can be, and how to use a strategic plan as your company's playbook.
- Mentorship and Reading: Why continuous learning and creating strong advisory boards are non-negotiable for sustained success.
