#34 Feals: Building a World Class DTC Brand and Optimizing with Data | Alex Iwanchuk, Founder
In Episode #34, we explore building a world class DTC brand and optimizing with data with Alex Iwanchuk, Founder of Feals. We cover data-driven growth vs. intuition, acquiring customers and launching a direct-to-consumer brand, and the importance of a morning routine.
“Don't knock it until you try it. What I mean by that is—you never know what's really going to work from an acquisition model, so you have to spend to learn, and have the willingness to lose money up front and test, iterate, and optimize to find what's actually working.” – Alex Iwanchuk

ABOUT ALEX IWANCHUK AND FEALS
Alex Iwanchuk and his two co-founders had their first big success at Ad Exchange where they went from zero to over 100 million in revenue in just 19 months. After selling that business, they started exploring what to build together next. And after months of exploration, landed on the idea for Feals with sales premium, full spectrum CBD directly to consumers in all 50 states to help with everything from anxiety and stress to getting better sleep.
