Show Notes

Richard Gearhart and Elizabeth Gearhart, co-hosts of Passage to Profit Show interview Jen Millard form mainlove™.

What if the future of water isn’t plastic — but aluminum? In this interview, founder of mainelove™, Jen Millard, shares how she turned Maine’s pristine Sebago Lake into a fast-growing CPG brand by partnering with craft breweries to produce and distribute premium water in recyclable aluminum cans. With $500,000 in revenue in just four months, licenses in 15 states, and a bold vision to build a $100 million business from Maine to Florida, Jen explains how Gen Z’s decline in alcohol consumption, distrust of tap water, microplastic concerns, and the rise of sustainable packaging are reshaping the beverage industry. Read more at: https://mainelove.com/
