🎙️ Season 3, Episode 6 - Sandro Roco: Building Sanzo, the First Asian-Inspired Sparkling Water
In this episode of The Loida Lewis Podcast, we sit down with Sandro Roco, the trailblazing Filipino-American entrepreneur behind Sanzo - the first Asian-inspired sparkling water brand made with real fruit and no added sugar.
Sandro shares how his Filipino heritage, Wall Street background, and a chance trip to H Mart inspired the launch of Sanzo. From lychee to calamansi, he talks about honoring Asian flavors while building a fast-growing beverage brand that’s now stocked at Whole Foods, Target, and even featured on Marvel’s Shang-Chi.
We also explore Sandro’s vision for empowering the AAPI community, the challenges of representation in the beverage industry, and what it means to stay rooted while scaling up.
💬 “Our stories and flavors deserve a seat at the table - and on the shelf.”
