For years, ice cream manufacturers have put delicious chocolate at the bottom of their sundae cones. For many people, this quickly became their favorite part. Unfortunately, no one made just that... until now
Muddy Bites stormed onto the scene with a sold-out Kickstarter campaign and hasn’t slowed down since, growing 1000% year over year in its first year of full production. 

This podcast covers the key learnings and insights from Jarod’s incredible growth journey including:

The aha moment and the first steps are taken to make Muddy Bites real
Hand rolling hundreds of thousands of muddy bites in the early days
Why a Systems/ manufacturing investment changed the game and further built Muddy Bites moat
How a partnership with Fuck Jerry and other meme pages have skyrocketed growth 
Why Amazon’s internal team reach out when Muddy Bites went to #1 in the cookie category in weeks. 


This podcast is choc-full of velvety insights, and delicately wrapped in a tiny Belgian waffle cone, I hope you find it as delicious as I did…
