BoomATX Episode #59 - Aaron Owens - Tejas Tonic

In this refreshing new episode, Lee and Glenn sit down with Aaron Owens, founder of Tejas Tonic, the hemp-infused beverage taking Austin by storm. Born in the heart of Texas, Tripping Springs, Tejas Tonic has been helping locals sip easy with a lineup of flavorful, chill-inducing drinks.  Join us as Aaron shares his wild story of creating Teja Tronic, the journey, the process and a deep dive into the emerging Hemp industry in Texas — that is now in serious jeopardy.

At the time of this episode's release, a sweeping THC ban is sitting on Governor Greg Abbott’s desk, threatening to wipe out an entire industry of Texas entrepreneurs innovating in the hemp and cannabis-adjacent space. Aaron explains what this ban could mean — not just for his business, but for many of others across Austin and the state.

This episode isn’t just about a great new local beverage innovating in a whole new category — it’s about small business, personal freedom, and the future of hemp in the Lone Star State. Don’t miss this timely conversation that could become a snapshot of a vanishing Texas industry if the ban becomes law.
