This podcast reveals an honest, unfiltered insight into the trials and triumphs of crafting a business from scratch, featuring the man behind it all, Michael Goldstein – the dynamic force of Prosecco Ventures.
As the founder of Bella Principessa Luxury Prosecco, he stands tall in the hyper-competitive drinks market. Michael says, “Being an entrepreneur is akin to a moon mission. We aim for the stars, but we also build the rockets to get us there.”
In this episode, Michael narrates his ambitious vision of transforming Bella Principessa from just ‘bubbles in a bottle’ into a globally beloved lifestyle brand. His Prosecco love affair began in Venice, where he unearthed a startling discrepancy in brand recognition despite Prosecco’s market prowess.
Throughout the interview, Michael offers a raw glimpse into the roller coaster that is the entrepreneurial journey, making this episode a beacon of real-life inspiration.
We traverse an array of captivating topics – Michael’s distinctive career path, the hurdles faced while building Bella Principessa, the chasm between Italian Prosecco and its UK equivalent, astute strategies for brand growth, memorable milestones, and Bella Principessa’s upcoming expansion plans.
