When first cousins Peter Guidi, 60, and JJ Mokarzel, 62, decided to launch a bourbon company, Joe Louis Spirits, in Old Orchard Beach, Maine, they each drew from experiences with prior partnerships to structure their business. Both men knew they needed to be equally committed to the venture’s success but bring complementary skills to the table.
Despite being 50-50 partners, they agreed that Mokarzel would have the final say on any split decisions. “A ship can only have one captain,” says Guidi. “It’s a waste of time and effort if all you’re going to do is struggle for control,” he says.

SOUTHWEST Fla. – One day after a COVID-19 vaccine was recommended for approval in the U.S., many are already looking forward to the day that we get back to some semblance of normalcy.
“Maybe we can start losing the masks,” Florida Gulf Coast University student Noah Barbot said.
Governor Ron Desantis announced Thursday night on social media that the state of Florida will receive 179,400 vaccines within the next week.
“I’m looking forward to the people who are concerned about the virus getting their vaccine,” Peter Guidi said. “I sure hope it works.”
Since each person who receives a vaccine will need two doses, that means we’ll have enough to vaccinate just over 89,000 people with frontline healthcare workers and residents of long-term care facilities expected to be among the first.
