Dan Aziz got the idea for his maternal supplement company as a 21-year-old business school undergrad. In this interview, Dan and Jordan talk about the progression from a small kernel of an idea to VC backed e-commerce success. Market research bootcamp, building an advisory board, ditching 8000 brick-and-mortar distributors, and hitting reset when things aren’t working were all part of the journey and make for a great story. Enjoy this episode!

KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

  • Handing over equity for a good board of directors is worth it.
  • More distribution isn’t always the answer.
  • Be ready to reprice, rebrand, and reposition your product if needed.
  • Put quality first and educate your customers.
  • When the business is really working, it’s unmistakable.
