Today we’d like to introduce you to Cory Lewis.
Hi Cory, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstories.
After I got laid off from my job in 2020, I started drinking energy drinks to continue working to support my family. All of the drinks that I had made me feel horrible, so I got inspiration at 1 am and Drew a W logo on a napkin in a break room, and I called it Warrior Energy Drink. At that time, I knew nothing about the beverage industry or how to make an energy drink, so I did all of my research at YouTube University, and within six months, I had the first Can in my hand. The first thing I did was I took my first five cases to a local 7-Eleven near Los Angeles, California, and I sold those five cases to the owner. One look at the can, place it next to Red Bull, and said this will sell, and this will work. From that moment, I knew I had something special on my hands, and it was called Warrior Energy Drink!
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
The road has been challenging and difficult. The biggest struggle is that outsiders do not know how much funding you have or how deep you are in the process of creating your beverage brand. So, there are a lot of snakes and people to look out for that only wish to take money from your brand and make a lot of false promises. We had one guy who claimed that he could take our brand to the next level, get us Distribution, and introduce us to a bunch of celebrities. He ended up doing nothing but taking our money and then leaving us… We had another gentleman who Was a self-proclaimed entrepreneur that offered to help us, but in the end, he left because he only wanted to chase quick dollars and not longevity. Form a small team that you can trust because it’s Not only about the money but about people who can see the vision.
