Bravo’s Kyle Cooke on navigating hard lessons when friendship and love meets business
This week, Jason is joined by reality TV personality and entrepreneur Kyle Cooke for the second time!
Kyle was last on the show two years ago to talk about his sparkling hard teas and canned cocktail company Loverboy in addition to his experience being on Bravo’s hit show, Summer House. In more recent news, Kyle has been in the hot seat for some recent drama regarding his friend and Summer House co-star Craig Conover partnering with a competing brand of Loverboy. Kyle gives insight to the conflict between Loverboy and competitor Spritz Society on Watch What Happens Live, what he would do differently looking back in hindsight, the behind-the-scenes of the business of Loverboy, how he found out about the collaboration from Craig and the conversation they had, the importance of honesty and transparency, and how the situation is more gossip than an actual business case. Kyle also reveals what really goes into entrepreneurship, qualifying for an SBA loan worth millions, clearing up the truth and falses between business and pop culture, and how he balances his relationship and his business. Who has equity in the business? How much did he raise initially?
Kyle reveals all that and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!
