During the segment, Mr. Larkai and Mr. Burrow discussed their journey from corporate backgrounds to entrepreneurship, inspired by a shared passion for innovation. Originating from Ghana and Nigeria , Mr. Larkai's international roots merged with Mr. Burrow's industry experience to birth Blackleaf’s mission of creating an exceptional organic vodka.
The duo emphasized the brand’s commitment to sustainability, using USDA-certified wheat grown without pesticides and eco-friendly packaging. Their efforts have not gone unnoticed, earning accolades such as double gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and Best of Class at the New York Spirits Competition .
