Hey it's Andrew, welcome to episode #51. We've got a very special entrepreneur today so thanks for joining me. Daina Trout is Co-Founder and former CEO of Health-Ade Kombucha. She went on to sell the company after growing it to 65,000 stores and nearly $200M in annual revenue.  She is raw, open, and honest like you wouldn't expect a CEO to be. It's one of my biggest takeaways from our convo — ALWAYS BE YOU!  Daina started the company alongside her husband and best friend.  Originally starting at the Los Angeles farmers market they experienced rapid growth.  Daina opens up about the biggest challenges she faced, the pro's and con's of starting a company with loved ones, and whether or not she'd do it again.  She's now onto her next endeavors, this time in the creative space and she shares her big plans.

Episode 202: Today's episode is Natalie's favorite of 2023 so far, so you know you're in for a treat! Daina Trout, current CEO & Co-Founder of premium kombucha brand Health-Ade, joins Nat to break down all things business from her views on the role of CEO (and why she's transitioning out of that role) to the art of hiring to communicating through packaging and brand values. Unlike the entrepreneurs that we often hear from, Daina and her two co-founders didn't originally go into business due to their passion or need to problem solve; they fell into the kombucha space only after making the decision to start a company (open to ALL ideas at first) and after deciding to take a step back from their original concept. Daina and Natalie come full circle in today's convo as they start and end with the importance of following your gut, which is both Heath-Ade's mission and a general rule of thumb that both women follow as entrepreneurs.  Today's episode dives into:    Why marketing is both an art and a science  How promising a lifestyle rather than simply a product can lead to more brand loyalty  The two-fold vision and mission behind Health-Ade kombucha  The importance of connecting with your consumers face to face  How Daina's experience at the farmer's market influenced the trajectory of Health-Ade  Why a CEO constantly needs to be problem-solving and compartmentalizing, no matter which stage of growth the company is in  Why there are actually an infinite number of ways to do things “right”  The reality of facing imposter syndrome and feeling fraudulent in business  Thank you so much for being a part of our podcast community!

In 2012, Daina Trout, her husband Justin, and her best friend Vanessa Dew were sitting around a kitchen table spit-balling possible business ideas. Their biggest contender seemed to be a natural product to treat hair loss. Turns out, it's harder than they thought to make one, so they landed on something completely different: a brand of homemade kombucha they called Health-Ade. After nine months of brewing kombucha in their kitchen and selling it at local farmer's markets, the three co-founders quit their jobs to pursue Health-Ade full time. In just seven years, Health-Ade brewed 120,000 bottles of Kombucha every day, and did close to $200 million in retail sales.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“Of course, you have to fight for your right. Beastie Boys said that, right? You got to fight for your right every single day. I think the people who rest on their laurels, die, especially in consumer because it is so competitive. And if you found something that works, there's going to be 10 people after that the next year or 20 the year after that, and so on and so forth.” Joining Kristi today on The Irresistible Factor is Daina Trout – passionate nutritionist, Co-Founder and Chief Mission Officer of one of her favorite brands, Health-Ade Kombucha. When Diana met her husband, he was told he had to be on medicine for life due to extreme gut issues. Diana was able to heal him entirely with a daily fermented food. Daina quickly learned about the power of fermented foods, specifically, Kombucha. This is what inspired Daina to start Health-Ade alongside her husband and best friend, Vanessa. Their goal was to create the highest quality, best tasting, and most functional kombucha in the market. Today, even among 200 (most of them new) kombucha brands, Health-Ade remains at the top. Daina talks about how every single small decision she made about the brand was intentional (the name, the shape of the bottle, etc.) and has kept them relevant and desirable in a now extremely saturated market. Daina also emphasizes the importance of being aware of competition, but remaining authentic and true to your brand's values as a formula for success and keeping consumers engaged. Tune in for some valuable advice from a pioneer in the health and wellness world.

If you love a scrappy startup story, today's case study is a true standout. I'm joined by Daina Trout, co-founder and Chief Mission Officer of Health-Ade, the fastest-selling Kombucha brand in America, currently carried in 60K stores across the country and doing an impressive $250 million in retail sales annually. Far from an overnight success story though, we're taking a trip down memory lane to the brand's early days in 2013, when they were quickly running out of money and only carried in 10 stores. With the three co-founders already at max capacity trying to keep the business alive and no funds available to hire traditional sales reps, Daina turned to Craigslist to recruit commission-based, independent sales reps to hit the pavement and open new accounts on their behalf. In just 2 weeks, Health-Ade's products exploded into 300 stores. Daina gives us her full playbook today for exactly how she incentivized total strangers to sell her products with no guaranteed pay, the training process, compensation plan, and lessons learned from being in the field interacting with customers.

Investors often say that they evaluate a company's potential based on business fundamentals, such as gross margin, retail velocity and brand awareness. As much as anything, however, personal alignment with entrepreneurs in terms of character, vision and demeanor is core to the investment philosophy of Manna Tree Partners.  A private equity firm whose stated mission is “to invest in the future of human health,” Manna Tree holds stakes in 11 companies, several of which were represented at its inaugural Global Health Forum in March, which focused on the future of longevity through food and nutrition.  During the conference, we sat down with Manna Tree's three co-founders and three portfolio company entrepreneurs to examine the origins and development of their relationships. The conversations revealed how their personal friendship established a baseline for trust and helped create positive outcomes for each of the companies. The conversations paired Manna Tree CEO Ellie Rubenstein with Dana Erlich, the founder and CEO of leading grass-fed beef company Verde Farms; Manna Tree CIO Ross Iverson with Daina Trout, the co-founder and chief mission officer of gut-health-centric beverage brand Health-Ade; and the firm's president Brent Drever with Viraj Puri, the co-founder and CEO of indoor greenhouse pioneer Gotham Greens.   Show notes:   2:27: Ellie Rubenstein, CEO, Manna Tree Partners and Dana Erlich, Founder/CEO, Verde Farms – Rubenstein discussed the focus of Manna Tree's Global Health Forum and why it was hosted in Vail, Colorado, Erlich spoke about the origins of Verde Farms and his personal connection to grass-fed beef and both spoke about how an initial meeting made it apparent that Manna Tree was the right partner for the company, which had previously spurned outside investment. They also discussed how the private equity firm helped Verde establish a dedicated board of directors and management team and how Rubenstein evaluated Verde as a category leader that could help deliver on Manna Tree's overarching mission. 27:28: Daina Trout, Co-Founder/Chief Mission Officer, Health-Ade and Ross Iverson, CIO, Manna Tree Partners – After noting that the interview marked Trout's third appearance on Taste Radio and Iverson's second (yet, first IRL), the Health-Ade co-founder spoke about the shift in her day-to-day role, while Manna Tree's CIO explained why he's happier with the company's expanded vision following the firm's investment in August 2021. Trout explained how she and Health-Ade's leadership team identified Manna Tree as a potential investor and why she described the relationship as “a special connection,” why Trout is confident that Manna Tree will help maintain the integrity and quality of Health-Ade products and how Iverson evaluates the growing opportunities for better-for-you sparkling beverages and kombucha. 53:09: Brent Drever, President, Manna Tree Partners and Viraj Puri, Co-Founder/CEO, Gotham Greens – Drever spoke about the speakers and panels at Manna Tree's Global Health Forum before Puri expounded upon Gotham Greens' recent announcement that the company would be doubling its indoor greenhouse capacity. The investor then discussed Manna Tree's investment in Gotham Greens, beginning with the firm's evaluation of the indoor greenhouse industry and why he was impressed by the company's brand, unit economics and vision for expansion. They also shared how they built a relationship during the first four months of the pandemic beginning with a face-to-face meeting in Chicago that was instrumental in establishing a foundation for their relationship. Puri explained why he was impressed by Manna Tree's “rigorous” due diligence process and global network, how Drever assessed Gotham Greens' potential for international expansion, how both consider technology and sustainability as part of the company's growth strategy, and the flexibility of its exit strategy.

Hi friends! Happy Thursday! I have an all-new podcast episode up today and am so excited to share this one. I've been a huge fan of Health-Ade kombucha for yearrrrssss and was so thrilled to interview one of the co-founders, Daina Trout.  Here's what we talk about: - The history behind Health-Ade kombucha - Kombucha 101 - Her tips for entrepreneurs and friends with side hustles who want to take things to the next level - Her tips for being Healthy in Real Life - and so.much.more 099: Taking a leap with Daina Trout, Chief Mission Officer and Co-founder of Health-Ade Kombucha Here's a little bit about Daina if you're not familiar with her: Daina Trout co-founded Health-Ade Kombucha in 2012 alongside her husband, Justin Trout, and best friend, Vanessa Dew. Since the beginning, the trio has been committed to brewing the best tasting and highest quality kombucha on the market.   Trout first learned how to brew kombucha during her tenure at Tufts University, where she earned her Masters' degrees both in Nutrition and Public Health  after receiving her BS from Georgetown University. During that time, she also developed her personal philosophy that health is less about science, and more about what makes you feel good and happy. After graduation, Trout moved to Los Angeles to  accept a position working in pharmaceuticals but continued to cultivate an interest in holistic and “real” food that fuels a hard-working lifestyle. Trout funneled this energy into an entrepreneurship club she formed with Justin and Vanessa to explore ways they could combine their diverse backgrounds into a successful business venture; the result, Health-Ade.   Trusting what soon became the company's motto to “follow your gut,” Trout and her cofounders quit their jobs to focus on Health-Ade full time, brewing kombucha in her apartment closet and selling bottles at a local LA farmers market. Over the course of  the last nine years, Trout has nurtured what started as a small production and niche  product into what has become a national brand that is sold at 45,000 grocery stores and  health food markets nationwide, including major retailers like Target, Whole Foods and  Costco. Today, Health-Ade is currently the fastest growing brand in its category for  three years in a row and is projected to significantly expand its business nationwide  each year under her leadership as Chief Mission Officer. In 2019, Daina was included on Inc's Female Founder 100 list and was also named BevNet's Person Of The Year. The same year, she was a semifinalist in EY's Entrepreneur of the Year program and is a member of the Young Presidents  Organization, a premier community of chief executives from around the world. In 2020,  Daina was highlighted on Entrepreneur's 100 Powerful Women list, and was a feature  guest on NPR's How I Built This. When Trout is not tirelessly working to bring kombucha to every fridge in America, she is spending time with her husband and two  sons, traveling, adventuring, cooking and enjoying outdoor life.  You can connect with Daina on Instagram here and check out Health-Ade here!

Today we are so excited to have the CEO of Health-Ade Kombucha, our favorite kombucha company, on the show! Daina Trout co-founded Health-Ade Kombucha in 2012 alongside her husband, Justin Trout, and best friend, Vanessa Dew. Since the beginning, the trio has been committed to brewing the best tasting and highest quality kombucha on the market. Trout first learned how to brew kombucha during her tenure at Tufts University, where she earned Masters’ degrees both in Nutrition and Public Health after receiving her BS from Georgetown University.    During that time, she also developed her personal philosophy that health is less about science, and more abou what makes you feel good and happy. After graduation, Trout moved to Los Angeles to accept a position working in pharmaceuticals but continued to cultivate an interest in holistic and “real” food that fuels a hard-working lifestyle. Trout funneled this energy into an entrepreneurship club she formed with Justin and Vanessa to explore ways they could combine their diverse backgrounds into a successful business venture; the result, Health-Ade Kombucha.   Over the course of the last seven years, Trout has nurtured what started as a small production and niche product into what has become a national brand that is sold at 30,000 grocery stores and health food markets nationwide, including major retailers like Target, Whole Foods and Costco. Today, Health-Ade is currently the fastest growing brand in its category for three years in a row and is projected to significantly expand its business nationwide each year under her leadership as CEO.    In this episode we discuss: How Daina, her husband and best friend started Heath-Ade Kombucha What exactly kombucha is and how it is made What are the benefits of fermented foods like kombucha What makes Health-Ade kombucha different from others on the market and why it’s taking over the grocery stores What Dana believes is the #1 skill or characteristic that has supported her to be a successful entrepreneur How Dana practice wellness without obsession   This episode is brought to you by my holiday survival guide.

In 2012, Daina Trout, her husband Justin, and her best friend Vanessa Dew were sitting around a kitchen table spit-balling possible business ideas. Their biggest contender seemed to be a natural product to treat hair loss. Turns out, it's harder than they thought to make one, so they landed on something completely different: a brand of homemade kombucha they called Health-Ade. After nine months of brewing kombucha in their kitchen and selling it at local farmer's markets, the three co-founders quit their jobs to pursue Health-Ade full time. Seven years later, Health-Ade brews 120,000 bottles of Kombucha every day, and does close to $200 million in retail sales. Order the How I Built This book at: https://smarturl.it/HowIBuiltThis

This week we’ve got Daina Trout, the CEO and co-founder of Health-Ade Kombucha. If you’re not familiar, kombucha is a high acid, low sugar, bubbly beverage, and Health-Ade makes the best testing and highest quality kombucha you can buy. One of the most fascinating things about the Health-Ade story is that they’ve successfully scaled the small batch, artisanal production that makes for great kombucha. It’s pretty crazy - they are the fastest growing company in all of refrigerated beverage, yet they still brew in 2.5 gallon glass jars. (They just have 250,000 of them.) Dainia gets real and vulnerable in this interview. She talks about the highs and lows of building a business, dealing with the self doubt you feel as an entrepreneur, and even near death experiences that changed her perspective on life and business. And of course, we dive into the tactical. Daina breaks down the leadership style that helped lead Health-Ade into the massive success it is today.   Links Health-Ade Kombucha  Connect with Daina on LinkedIn Stacy’s Rise Project Are you female founder?

When it debuted in 2005, Perfect Bar was a tough sell to retailers unfamiliar with the concept of a refrigerated protein bar. But Leigh and Bill Keith, who co-founded the brand along with four other siblings and developed the products based on a family recipe that uses healthier ingredients, slowly achieved traction for Perfect Bar through persistence and a focused business strategy. The brand is now carried at thousands of retail chains across the country and is the leader of the blooming set. We caught up with Leigh and Bill at NOSH Live Summer 2018 and discussed the company’s journey to become, in their words, a 13-year overnight success, and how intense sampling efforts and grassroots metrics were critical to the brand’s development. The British novelist and author William Thackeray is quoted as saying that “Successful people aren’t born that way. They become successful by establishing the habit of doing things unsuccessful people don’t like to do.” But what are those things, those habits? We’ll be asking that very question to many successful entrepreneurs in new and upcoming episodes of the podcast, starting with Daina Trout, who is the co-founder and CEO of leading kombucha brand Health-Ade. In an interview recorded at BevNET Live Summer 2018, Daina discussed specific habits that have helped her achieve repeatable, positive outcomes and avoid routine mistakes. Also in this episode: A review of recent top headlines in the beverage business with BevNET assistant editor Marty Caballero. Show notes: 2:45: BTS at BevNET Live/NOSH Live -- The hosts discuss a few behind-the-scenes stories from the NOSH Live sampling experience, beta-testing and brand introductions at BevNET Live (Rise Brewing Co., meet Rise Kombucha!), Mike’s sticker pranks and more. 12:50: Interview: Bill & Leigh Keith, Co-Founders, Perfect Bar -- BevNET CMO Mike Schneider met with Bill and Leigh at NOSH Live Summer 2018 where they spoke about the brand’s origins and founding story, the innovative way that Perfect Bar sourced data in its early days, how changes in grocery and creativity were crucial in its growth and the importance of the family story for branding. 43:00: In the Newsroom -- BevNET assistant editor Marty Caballero joins the podcast to discuss the recent decision by Howard Schultz to step down as chairman of Starbucks, and Miller Coors’ acquisition of San Francisco-based kombucha brand Clearly Kombucha. 46:44: Interview: Daina Trout, Co-Founder/CEO, Health-Ade Kombucha -- Trout explains how a monthly strategy day and one-on-one weekly manager meetings have supported the company’s growth and her development as a leader and why accepting every media opportunity turned out to be a bad habit that she has since changed.
