ACT - "Bearcat Seltzers" (Wednesday 4-8-26)

In this episode of A Corporate Time with Tom and Dan, the hosts welcome Crystal and Larry from Bearcat Seltzers, a Florida-based THC beverage company specializing in craft Delta 9 seltzers. The conversation dives into the company’s origins, product development, and the challenges of operating in a rapidly shifting legal landscape. Crystal shares how a friend’s discovery of THC-infused drinks inspired her to launch Bearcat, emphasizing the product’s microdose formula (5mg THC, 20mg CBD, plus taurine, B12, and mushroom blends) and its appeal as a social, controllable alternative to alcohol. The hosts explore the risks of federal and state regulatory changes, including sudden label requirements and potential bans, with Crystal revealing they had to relabel 9,000 cans due to new Florida rules. Despite the uncertainty, the company remains grassroots-focused, selling online and at local events. The episode also features a humorous tangent on beverage brand rivalries, a heartfelt discussion on parenting and time blindness, and a candid exchange about Facebook Marketplace transactions, including a $20 cash drop under the mat to avoid in-person contact. The show closes with sponsor plugs and a lighthearted nod to the unpredictable nature of both business and life.
