Hey y'all!

I'm so excited to introduce you to Amanda Thomson today. Amanda is the CEO and founder of Thomson & Scott and created Noughty, the world's first premium non-alcoholic wine portfolio.

Amanda won the LCB Entrepreneur Award for Best Wine Concept and was voted one of Business Insider's "Coolest People in Food and & Drink." She's been awarded Le Cordon Bleu's Entrepreneur of the Year title and most recently won The Drinks Business's Entrepreneur of The Year Award for 2025.

Noughty now sells to the world's coolest restaurants, bars, and hotels. Some top locations where you can find Noughty are The Mandarin Oriental and The Ritz Carlton.

Amanda is a generous mentor to aspiring founders and brand builders and has a wealth of valuable knowledge when it comes to creating a successful business and leading a company. I hope you enjoy this conversation!
