This week on The St. Louis Podcast, we’re joined by the dynamic duo shaking up the local food and drink scene - Bailey Hager and Holly Hildebrand, co-founders of Dirty Pop, a women-owned dirty soda and loaded popcorn company that’s all about big flavors, nostalgic vibes, and unapologetic fun.
These two moms-turned-entrepreneurs bring over 20 years of combined experience in events to the table and are now pouring all that energy into launching their very own mobile soda bar. We dive into how Dirty Pop got started, why the dirty soda trend is exploding right now, and what it really takes to build a business from the ground up while juggling family life.
From flavor experiments gone wrong to creating a brand that’s bold, bubbly, and “extra filthy,” Bailey and Holly open up about the challenges, wins, and caffeine-fueled chaos of small business life in St. Louis. We also talk about their plans to roll up to parties, festivals, and events across the city in style - and what it’s like turning childhood favorites into a full-time gig.
If you love a good origin story, crave a dirty soda with a side of sass, or just want to support some badass women doing big things, this episode is a must-listen.
