In this episode, we talk about how we are going back to the classic coffee shop, and what made coffee shops so great back in the day.

This episode is loaded with talks about innovative nic and energy blends to expanding our brand beyond the walls of the café, we’re sharing our exact playbook for building something bigger than just coffee.

We didn’t disrupt a category—we built one.

In this episode of Nic and Jet Fuel, we’re at FORTH Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia, joined by José Nava, CEO and co-founder of Levie Branding, a Miami-based luxury branding agency behind some of today’s boldest product launches. (https://leviebranding.com)

We talk about:

-How to create an entirely new product category (like functional nicotine beverages)
-Why design and brand strategy must start before your product hits the shelf
-How to own your lane instead of fighting over space in an oversaturated market
-Real examples of bold branding that sells
-This is not just theory. It's exactly how we're building our nicotine energy drink line — from scratch — with zero blueprint and massive upside.

If you're building something new, this episode will give you the tools, mindset, and strategy to make it unforgettable.
