Mijo Alanis has found success in his career by staying ahead of the curve—opening a juice and smoothie shop long before they were as ubiquitous as they are now. Mijo tells the story of Beyond Juicery from the way beginning of his career, how they’ve grown through franchising, and the “bus tub” moments that have helped him give the people what they want.

• The moment that Mijo Alanis and his wife, Pam Vivio, decided to start a juice bar
• Beyond Juciery + Eatery’s early days
