For Jose Ramirez, Founder and CEO of HOPR, the answer is simple in principle, but extraordinary in practice: whatever it takes. Born from curiosity, humble beginnings and an unwavering work ethic, HOPR has grown into something far greater than an alternative to alcohol. It’s a business driven by a...

For a long time, I believed alcohol made me someone worth loving. It gave me confidence. It made me louder, funnier and more uninhibited. It helped me create a version of myself that I thought other people loved and for a while, a version of myself that I loved too. But maintaining that person came at a cost. In one of the most vulnerable episodes I've recorded, I reflect candidly on my relationsh...
