Innovation doesn't always happen in the ways that you think. Sometimes it's about taking something people don't want or have a use for and creating something they do want. That's what Emily Darchuck did when she thought up the solution for whey waste birthing her company Wheyward Spirit.

Wheyward Spirit is an award-winning liquor that is disrupting an entire industry. Her mission-driven product brings the natural food ethos into the spirit category where both consumers and local farmers need it most.

Wheyward Spirit is now partnering with Ben & Jerry's to help them bring back the popular 'Dublin Mudslide' back from the ice cream flavor graveyard.

In today's episode, we chat about product development and innovation, rethinking waste products, the power of farm-to-flask, innovation and creating your own space, and why female-owned businesses are so important.
