In this episode of the Vint Podcast, Brady Weller and Billy Galanko catch up with Jon Troutman, former co-founder of Empathy Wines, which was acquired by Constellation Brands in 2020. Jon is currently the EVP over Commerce & Operations at VeeFriends, Gary Vaynerchuk's uplifting and wildly popular NFT project. Jon has built and operated a number of wine and wine-related brands, both alongside and apart from Gary, including time spent at Cork'd, Daily Grape, Constellation, and Domaine Select Wine Estates. Jon has a wealth of knowledge about wine and wine trends, including consumer sentiment and how to grow a wine brand. His stories of working alongside some of the biggest movers in the wine world over the last 15 years are compelling and his ability to identify opportunities within the industry are second to none. Enjoy!
