In Episode 157 of the PricePlow Podcast, Mike and Ben sit down with Kyle Thomas, Chief Commercial Officer of Nutrabolt, to discuss the company’s groundbreaking partnership with The Hershey Company. Kyle, who joined Nutrabolt in 2021 after years in the Coca-Cola system, provides unique insights into how this collaboration came to be and what it means for both C4 and the broader supplement industry.
The conversation covers not only the recent launch of C4 Whey protein featuring real Reese’s and C4 Original pre-workout with Bubble Yum flavor, but also dives deep into Kyle’s strategic vision for the brand, the evolution of C4’s demographics, and how the company is positioning itself in the ever-growing energy drink market. This podcast was recorded shortly after Team PricePlow’s visit to Nutrabolt HQ in Austin, Texas, making for some timely discussion of upcoming innovations.
