On this episode of SUPERWOMEN, I sat down with Allison Ellsworth, co-founder of Poppi—the better-for-you soda brand that's gone from tabling at the farmers' market to one of the fastest-growing beverages in the U.S.Allison's journey started with a gut feeling—literally. Struggling with health issues and searching for natural remedies, she discovered the benefits of apple cider vinegar. But instead of settling for the harsh taste, she hit the kitchen and created her own fix. What followed? A Whole Foods rep at the farmers market, a “Shark Tank” deal, and a rebrand that would catapult Poppi into virality and the mainstream.In this episode, she opens up about what it really took to scale Poppi: letting go of fear, maxing out credit cards, learning how to lead, building a brand from instinct, and saying no to “dumb money.” We talk team dynamics, viral TikToks, Super Bowl commercials, and why sometimes the boldest move is pausing everything to get the brand right. We also get into the power of believing in yourself, even when no one else sees the vision yet. After all, Allison is the self-proclaimed Chief Believe Officer. Whether you're building a business or just love a good founder story, Allison's energy, honesty, and unstoppable drive will leave you inspired—and maybe craving a can of Poppi. If you've ever been told “That's not how it's done,” this one's for you.Thank you for listening!

Today we revisit Kate's conversation with Allison Ellsworth, the Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer of Poppi. It was recently announced that Allison is selling her company to PepsiCo for nearly $2 billion.In this episode, Allison discusses her story of founding Poppi after facing numerous gut-health issues but being dissatisfied by the solutions her doctors came up with. After noticing the immense health benefits but bad taste of apple cider vinegar, Allison and her husband Stephen created Mother Beverage, a prebiotic soda that makes apple cider vinegar taste good.From selling at farmer's markets to getting an investment on Shark Tank, Poppi has revolutionized the soda industry by doing the unthinkable: creating a soda that is both tasty and good for you. Poppi sodas have been seen in the hands of Billie Eilish, Russell Westbrook, Jennifer Lopez, and many of your favorite celebrities. Poppi's grape flavor won Food and Beverage Magazine's Product of the Year for 2023, and the brand is the number one best-selling soda on Amazon.

Poppi just popped – big time. But was PepsiCo's $1.65 billion acquisition driven by TikTok virality, perfect timing, or industry heavyweights like Rohan Oza? (Sorry, prebiotics, this one's not about you.) And now that the first major deal has landed, is the BFY soda space about to see a gold rush – or a bubble burst? The hosts break it all down.  Plus, we revisit standout interviews from our Miami meetup with Koia's Chris Hunter, Verlivest's Ken Sadowsky, and Matriarch Wealth Management's Stephen Santangelo.  Show notes: 0:45: Ray, Animated.

John hands a slice to Ray – who gobbles it up – before opining on the value of Poppi's prebiotics in its growth and how the company and Olipop cracked the seemingly impenetrable CSD category. Jacqui talks about the impact of Poppi co-founder Allison Ellsworth's early adoption of TikTok on the brand's development, Mike discusses how investor Rohan Oza affected its trajectory and John offers a prediction on what's next for BFY CSDs. Ray shares another kind of “pop,” Mike and John crack open a couple of canna-bevs and Jacqui highlights a “salty” chili jam. 33:12: Interviews: Stephen Santangelo, Founder, Matriarch Wealth Management; Ken Sadowsky, Sr. Advisor, Verlivest; Chris Hunter, Co-Founder, Koia & Four Loko – Stephen and Ken discuss their investment strategies in food and beverage startups, emphasizing founder passion, scalability, and emerging trends like health-conscious drinks.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit cocomocoe.substack.comCommenting is only available on Substack! When I began seeing the push back against Poppi on social media, I was confused. It seems that people were upset with them for sending out vending machines to influencers ahead of the 2025 Super Bowl.I agree with the critique that they could have been more inclusive in their selection of influencers. Inclusion from brands is a topic I have talked about on my podcast before.But what I don't agree with is the anger over them seeming “out-of-touch”.Why is it “out-of-touch” for Poppi to send out temporary vending machines to influencers but not “out-of-touch” for Dunkin Donuts to pay Ben Affleck $10-million dollars for 30-seconds?My theory: the internet hates female-founded brands that market to a primarily female demographic. This is compounded by the fact that the influencer space is dominated by women. Poppi is a brand with a front-facing, female founder. Her name is Allison Ellsworth. Even though it was co-founded with her partner, Stephen, she is the one who often appears on camera and was even the face of their video response on TikTok as the controversy kicked up.Olipop, Poppi's biggest founder, began leaving comments in TikTok videos claiming the vending machines were $25,000. Something that was debunked by AdWeek and something Ellsworth disputes, as well. But because Olipop is founded by two men, no one is calling them “catty”, “jealous” or “b****y” for spreading rumors about a competitor in TikTok comments. If a female-founded brand did that, there would be hell to pay.As always, there is no right or wrong answer here. Keep it respectful in the discussions on Substack, as you always do.And thank you for being a coconut! ❤️

In this episode I'm joined by Allison Ellsworth, founder of the fastest growing beverage brand in the US, Poppi.Poppi was started as Mother Beverage in 2018 (a nod to the raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar used in the drink) but was rebranded after featuring on Shark Tank in the same year. Now, it's one of the biggest soda brands in the US, outselling Coke and Pepsi on Amazon. I speak to Allison about the journey of creating the brand, how influential TikTok was for their growth, their merch strategy and how they ended up buying a Super Bowl ad. This is a fascinating account of how a challenger brand can disrupt an industry in such a small period of time.Timestamps00:00 - Intro02:08 - Allison's experience on Shark Tank05:56 - Funding and rebrand of Poppi10:36 - Launching the brand during COVID11:06 - Outselling Coke and Pepsi on Amazon12:33 - How big is the impact of Shark Tank13:45 - Growing the brand on social media17:02 - The influencer and social first marketing strategy19:45 - How Poppi's marketing popup worked22:05 - Why Poppi invested in merch and launching in Target24:36 - Choosing which flavours to launch with Poppi28:04 - Approach to retail and growth29:27 - Breaking into a competitive market30:29 - Poppi's Super Bowl campaign35:30 - The journey from 2 to 200 employees40:18 - How Allison hires at Poppi42:05 - The hardest part of the journey at Poppi44:07 - How Allison would start a new startup today

Comparing Poppi and Olipop is like comparing a college sorority girl and a biochemistry lab nerd. So, why does it seem surprising to most beverage industry pundits that consumers aren't worried about recent claims disputing Poppi's good-for-your-gut reputation? In the two months since Poppi was hit by a widely publicized class action lawsuit, retail sales numbers continue to crush harder than I am now after seeing Poppi co-founder Allison Ellsworth kill that dance. I'm joking guys…happily married, but what's not so funny is how these product claims lawsuits have become almost like a “rite of passage” for any functional CPG category that “crossing the chasm” towards majority adoption. My advice for entrepreneurs…focus on building a bold strategic narrative over emphasizing product features (and associated health claims) ASAP, because it will undoubtedly lower your legal risk.

Allison Ellsworth is the Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer of poppi, a modern, fun(ctional) prebiotic soda designed for the next generation. Poppi was born from Allison's relentless pursuit to build the perfect healthy soda — one with full flavor, real digestive health functionality, and clean ingredients that are good for you. In 2015, she started having a variety of health problems and discovered that Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) could reset and naturally detox her body, improving everything from her gut health and immunity to refining her complexion. She started drinking ACV every day, and within two weeks, all of her symptoms subsided. Since drinking ACV alone had a less appealing taste, Allison went to her kitchen and began experimenting, working around the clock to create a better tasting ACV beverage made with real fruit juice. The result was poppi, which first launched in 2017 and was later re-branded in Spring 2020. Allison is widely recognized as a pioneer in beverage product development, and she is the recipient of the prestigious “Best New Beverage” Award from the publishers of BevNet (2016). After gaining early traction at local Farmer's Market, Allison and her husband Stephen took their vision to the next level and pitched their beverage on ABC's Shark Tank. The pair secured a 6-figure investment from Rohan Oza and have since received additional investment and guidance from Rohan's CAVU Venture Partners.   I was blown away by the success of Poppi after hearing their numbers and have so much respect for how Allison started this company. I hope you find the inspiration you need in this chat; now let's get on over to my conversation with Allison. 

Allison Ellsworth spent seven years on the road working in the oil and gas industry. It took a toll on her health. So she took her discontent to her own kitchen. She felt she was getting health benefits from drinking apple cider vinegar, but hated the taste. Could she concoct something fruity, low-sugar, and with prebiotics? She's Allison Ellsworth, the founder and chief of brand at Poppi. You may have seen the bright-colored cans on grocery store shelves, or on Shark Tank, or on TikTok. But before Allison was a DTC alt-soda sensation, she tells host Christine Lagorio-Chafkin, she was driving across the United States knocking on doors. She's the kind of founder who, once she believes something, she goes for it–and this is how she built her brand and became a TikTok sensation.

Persistent stomach pain prompted Allison Ellsworth to formulate a prebiotic soda, which she named Poppi. That was in 2018. It's now among the fastest-growing beverage brands in the U.S., with sales of $300,000 per month.She describes her journey to host Eric Bandholz in this episode, addressing Shark Tank appearances,  dramatic scaling, plans, and more.For an edited transcript with embedded audio, see: https://pec-ly.com/?6m3FFor all episode transcripts with embedded audio, see: https://www.practicalecommerce.com/tag/podcasts

Allison Ellsworth bet it ALL on her idea to create a prebiotic soda. She was in Dallas working in oil and gas, while trying to solve her own health issues like brain fog, stomach issues and skin issues. She heard drinking apple cider vinegar would help, but realized it didn't taste good. She set out to create a drink that wouldn't taste so bad and ended up taking an entire second shot at her career by creating Poppi, a prebiotic soda. She ended up on Shark Tank and is going strong in her effort to take on "big soda".

Allison Ellsworth and her husband Stephen, formerly employed in the oil and gas industry, quit their jobs to bet on themselves and and started a health-based soda alternative. Their concept, a prebiotic drink called Poppi masks the strong taste of apple cider vinegar using less than 6 grams of sugar to help support gut health. The Texas based start-up was funded by Rohan Oza after the couple went on Shark Tank who helped them work on a rebrand. Allison, who was 9 months pregnant shares how the company has focused on its digital and retail sales strategy, and why they are moving their team from Dallas to Austin.

She may have been called a “cockroach” by Mr. Wonderful on Shark Tank, but this week's guest is also a business owner and founder, proud mom, and wife, and wellness advocate. Allison Ellsworth is the Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer of Poppi, the prebiotic healthy soda brand that you've probably seen all over Instagram and TikTok. Allison joins Elizabeth to talk about finding relief from her own constant health issues after experimenting with daily shots of apple cider vinegar, and how that sparked the initial seeds for creating Poppi. She shares how she was discovered at a farmer's market by a Whole Foods buyer, getting a life-changing deal on Shark Tank with “The Brandfather” Rohan Oza, Poppi's commitment to keeping it clean, and finding time for self-care while growing a huge brand. Mentioned: Poppi Instagram | TikTok Garden of Life PMD Clean Clio Science vs Shark Tank Allison Ellsworth: LinkedIn | Instagram Say Hi To Elizabeth and Purely Elizabeth: Website | InstagramDiscount: use code POPPIFAM for 15% off drinkpoppi.com
