On today's episode, Evan Eneman sits down with business partner and client Warren Bobrow, to tell the tale of how he became an award-winning master mixologist, author, and the Founder and CEO of Klaus. Warren unfolds his legacy at the start of his life and into early adulthood, where he learned the most valuable lessons of being humble and hospitable to others. Instead of following in his family's footsteps, he set out on his own path. He began his career as a dishwasher, then went on to become the owner of the first company to make fresh pasta in South Carolina. He was a television engineer, even worked at Danceteria in NYC, and worked as a trained chef. All of this led to a twenty-year career in private banking. Since his banking days, he has become a leading voice in journalism, authoring six books on beverage, and he is now working full-time in the beverage industry, launching his own functional infused beverage brand, Klaus. Warren knows the value of hard work, and he continues to dream up recipes in color and goals to meet. He remains relentless and humble in his approach to getting what he wants out of life.

“The position that I’m in now is not all doom and gloom. It’s the most incredible experience of my life, I mean I could write a college class and write a graduate class on the experience of starting a business in a turmoil-filled world, and doing it with a smile and offering something that’s different, and making it something that everyone wants.” 11:21
