About this episode

Emilio del Conde shares his journey from Tecate to entrepreneurship in mezcal, discussing culture and community along the way.

Emilio del Conde grew up in Tecate, crossing the U.S.-Mexico border every day for school, an experience that shaped the way he sees people, culture, and opportunity. That drive took him from sales and finance to founding Chupes Finos (importer, distributor, and more) in Carrollton, Texas. In this episode, Emilio shares how a passion for collecting mezcal turned into a partnership with Leo Garcia and Macheé Mezcal, while we dive into border culture, entrepreneurship, community, and the connections that great spirits create. It's an honest, insightful conversation full of great stories—and one that proves Emilio is only getting started.
