Description
This week, we're revisiting our inspiring conversation with David Lester, Co-founder at Olipop. There’s an alchemy to relationships, including the ones between co-founders. David Lester, co-founder at good-for-you-soda company, OLIPOP, first heard about his future business partner, Ben Goodwin, while he was quitting his 10-year job at global beverage giant Diageo. His then boss thought they’d work well together. The first meeting between entrepreneurs was memorable as Ben showed up with a bag of home-made soda. The pair went on to run a kefir beverage startup, followed by OLIPOP. Packed with healthy prebiotics and a tenth the sugar of regular, OLIPOP brilliantly markets taste, health and nostalgia while drawing 50% of revenues through online channels, just a few of Lester’s marketing feats. In this episode you’ll learn:Soda psychology is grounded in our earliest memories.Three-quarters of the population is trying to make healthy adjustments. When something seems stupid, that’s your cue to figure out a better way.That humility will take you from knowing nothing to expertise.Data science surrounds us, but your soul processes the insightsBrought to you by Mekanism.
