Listen now
Description
Did you carry a water bottle around when you were a kid? Of  course you didn’t.  Unless of course, we have some zoomers listening.  Well, times have changed and whether you prefer a fluoro Frank Green or a pastel Stanley Quencher, most people carry a water bottle these days.  My guest today has taken the hydration trend one step further, adding flavour and nutrients to the mix.  Catherine Dix is Director of Waterdrop Australia, a brand originally started in Europe that came via the US to Aussie shores just last year, selling water bottles plus a range of microdrops to encourage everyone to drink more water.  In this chat Catherine shares how she went from running an agency to running Waterdrop, why being a dealer at The Australian Open was such a good idea and how Australia Day saved the company from a warehouse catastrophe.
