103. Win Your Health with Ben Goodwin (founder, OLIPOP) π | Win the Dayβ’ podcast with James Whittaker
βI have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.β β Oscar Wilde
Ben Goodwin is a college dropout who β alongside business partner David Lester β launched OLIPOP as the worldβs first clinically-validated soft drink thatβs good for digestive health.
Valued at US $200M+, OLIPOP is available in more than 20,000 stores (including Whole Foods, Walmart and Target) and has an A-list of investors such as the Jonas Brothers, Camila Cabello, Priyanka Chopra, and Gwyneth Paltrow.
Raised on the standard American diet, and enduring a traumatic childhood, Ben had an epiphany at 14 where he began focusing on exercise and nutrition for the first time. Through that process, he lost 50 pounds and developed a love for how the things we put in our bodies contribute to physical and mental health β especially the human microbiome.
OLIPOP has taken off and been heralded as the most disruptive innovation in the soda category since Diet Coke in 1981.
In this episode:
Β» How a traumatic childhood shaped the man he is today
Β» Benβs best entrepreneurial lessons
Β» What heβs doing to remain one step ahead of the competitors, and
Β» How he built OLIPOP into a disruptive powerhouse.
Let's WIN THE DAY with Ben Goodwin!
