Today we are joined by the former CEO and Co-Founder of Genius Juice and current Founder and Manager Partner at Genius Dreams, Alex Bayer. In our conversation, Alex walks us through the highs and lows of founding a CPG business, the tightrope of fine margins that the industry forces you to walk, the main things to consider when it's time to close shop forever, and the importance of making time for self-care as a dedicated entrepreneur.Key Points From This Episode:Alex Bayer shares the lessons he learned in founding, growing, and closing a CPG brand. How Alex got into CPG, and what inspired him to co-found Genius Juice. Whether it's better to have a large or small product catalogue. The biggest highs and most notable lows from Alex's 10 years at Genius Juice. How they navigated the innate CPG challenges of operating within fine margins.Key factors to be aware of when entering the refrigerated-products market.The ins and outs of Alex's decision to close the doors on Genius Juice.Taking a look at the processes of shutting a business down, and how to do it the right way.Navigating burnout and protecting your well-being as an entrepreneur. The services that Alex's consulting business, Genius Dreams offers and the clients it serves.Homemade smoothies, golfing, the CPG Vibes podcast, and Mark Samuel.Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Alex Bayer on LinkedInAlex Bayer on InstagramGenius DreamsGenius Juice GPG VibesAflacHiTouchMelaAura Bora Mid-day SquaresTaste RadioStartup CPGGenesis Nutrition15 Minutes of Genius Mark Samuel on LinkedInModern Species Gage Mitchell on LinkedInGage Mitchell on XBrands for a Better World WebsiteBrands for a Better World on YouTubeBrands for a Better World emailImpact Driven Community

Coming off the high from last week's Master Series episode, Wade and Alex discuss CPG news items that have hit the wire, the Sweets and Snacks Show in Indianapolis, and Alex Bayer's post about closing Genius Juice and the overwhelming response he has received from the CPG community.

They also do shout-outs and answer questions live from viewers & listeners during their show.

On this week's episode, we discuss whether a CPG owner should call it quits or keep going in this environment. We are hearing the stories of struggle. What are the signs and how can you either keep going through adversity or pivot to do something new? (consulting, join another company). We also will discuss news items (OWYN acquisition) and much more!

Why are some investors writing checks while others are content to stay on the sidelines? The hosts discussed a new survey that examines the dynamics of contemporary deal flow. They also spoke about opportunities for entrepreneurs to spotlight their brands at BevNET's Winter 2023 events and highlighted two food brands that developed new snacks in collaboration with beverage companies.  Show notes: 0:35: Oh, Hi, Whole Foods. Ask And Interview. Ube & Scotch. Tia Traction. Donuts And Coffee. – The episode kicked off with the news that representatives from Whole Foods will be participating in “Retailer One-on-One” sessions at NOSH Live, how attendees can take part in a live version of our Elevator Talk series and join us for a conversation in the Taste Radio Studio at BevNET Live. John whipped up some purple cocktails before the hosts congratulated Tia Lupita founder Hector Saldivar, whose company just raised $2.6 million, and chatted about what's eliciting interest (and causing concern) among food and beverage investors. Later, they munched on hibiscus-flavored popcorn, coffee-infused mini-donuts, chocolate truffles and better-for-you protein bars. Brands in this episode: Tia Lupita, The Glenlivet, Ruby, BjornQorn, Deux, Chamberlain Coffee, Evolved Chocolate, Yaza, Genius Juice, Resist

Is it groundbreaking or headed for infamy? The hosts sample several new products made with controversial (or, perhaps, objectionable) ingredients and flavors and assess the mainstream potential for each. This episode also features an interview with Alex Conyngham, the co-founder of Slane Irish Whiskey, who discussed the duality of building a modern brand that's rooted in tradition. Show notes: 0:33: Who Needs Ray? She Is The Champion, My Friends. Leggo My Eggo (Or Not). Cannabis & Kava. – With Ray on vacation, John took the reins, Jacqui spoke about her camogie skills and Melissa shared notes on recent and highly informative episodes of Community Call. They also sipped on some breakfast-inspired booze (“a real wallop to the ol' system”), munched on seaweed salad and discussed how kava might follow in the footsteps of another controversial ingredient. 24:45: Interview: Alex Conyngham, Co-Founder, Slane Irish Whiskey – Conyngham met with Taste Radio editor Ray Latif at spirits convention Tales of the Cocktail, held in July, and spoke about the development of Slane, which has emerged as a brand that lives at the intersection of music, sustainable farming and premium liquid, and how he communicates that positioning within the competitive landscape for Irish whiskey. Brands in this episode: Slane Irish Whiskey, Eggo, Genius Juice, Atlantic Sea Farms, Kooshy, Bennu

Paul Voge, the co-founder and CEO of artisanal sparkling water brand Aura Bora, wasn't too worried about his first large scale production run.  Aura Bora, which markets zero-calorie sparkling waters infused with herbs and botanicals, was born out of Voge's belief that an opportunity existed for an artisanal option within the carbonated water category. If, however, the brand failed to get off the ground, Voge, a prolific sparkling water consumer himself, was comfortable with the idea of having a personal stash of 35,000 cans to drink over the next few decades.  Thankfully, Aura Bora has resonated among category consumers, and over the past two years the Colorado-based company has expanded beyond its original focus on the natural channel and ecommerce and into conventional retail stores. Its drinks are now available at 3,000 locations, including nationally at Sprouts, and are also sold at 7-Eleven and Raley's along with Harris Teeter and United Supermarket, chains operated by Kroger and Albertsons, respectively. In an interview featured in this episode, Voge, who co-founded Aura Bora with his wife Maddie,  explained how he attempted to differentiate the brand from other sparkling water brands in name, package design and formulation, why he was inspired by artisanal food brands, the clever way he landed a meeting with a Whole Foods buyer; and how his pricing strategy was ahead of the curve for premium sparkling water. He also discussed his tension-filled, yet ultimately successful, experience on “Shark Tank,” why investors were at ease with an evolution of Aura Bora's retail strategy, why acquiring sales data has been critical to the brand's development and how he's attracted industry veterans for key roles.  Show notes: 0:46: Paul Voge, Co-Founder/CEO, Aura Bora – Voge and Taste Radio editor Ray Latif riffed on the entrepreneur's cap collection and experience at Expo West 2022, hand-canning Aura Bora's first products and the impact of launching the brand a couple months before the onset of the pandemic in the U.S. He also spoke about what attracted retail buyers to the brand, what he and Maddie wanted to convey in the label and package design, the thoughtful approach to naming the brand and how functional beverages factored into Aura Bora's pricing strategy. Later, Voge explained why Aura Bora is attempting to “own” a subset of sparkling water, how he indirectly met Whole Foods buyer, utilizing data and information from online sales to support innovation, R&D and marketing and his wild ride on “Shark Tank.” Voge also discussed why buying SPINS data has been a valuable investment, why the hire of a sales director made him realize that “he was driving without glasses,” and why, despite the many uncertainties of running a beverage company, it's important to have a plan.  Brands in this episode: Aura Bora, Sanzo, LaCroix, Polar Seltzer, Poland Spring, Jeni's, Van Leeuwen, Salt & Straw, Kettle Chips, RxBar, Waterloo, Topo Chico, JoJo's Creamery, Hoplark, Liquid Death, KIND Snacks, Pipcorn, Genius Juice, Harmless Harvest, Voss, Super Coffee, GT's Kombucha

“Just because it's the easy way does not make it the right way.” -Alex Bayer   Episode Description:  The recent surge of big-name food companies touting their products as “natural” has consumers everywhere asking, what exactly is natural food? The Food and Drug Administration does not set stringent guidelines for the use of the term “natural”, leaving it up to individual companies to decide what makes a product natural. This results in manufacturers adding chemicals onto the list of ingredients so long as they are categorized as “natural.”   Genius Juice founder, Alex Bayer has long been baffled by the lack of genuine natural ingredients in beverages. So he made his own… Later, he discovered the irresistible coconut smoothie from his vegan friend, made from only 2 ingredients- coconut water and coconut meat. And he thought that this is too good to not be shared with other people! So the birth of Genius Juice. To date, there are 5 yummy flavors that help support brain function, promote gut health, and provide no-crash energy. Genius Juice is certified natural by the USDA, Vegan.org, and Kosher.    This week, Justine and Alex discuss what “natural” really means and how to create a product that stays true to its name. Alex also shares lessons and business tips to help listeners find their entrepreneurial drive, overcome failures, develop partnerships and turn a profit- even in the early stages of your business!   Success is a journey, not a destination. You are born with the drive for success; it's just waiting to be nurtured and developed.    Connect with Alex:  Alex Bayer, founder of Genius Juice, first discovered the coconut smoothie through a friend, who was a vegan chef. She was raving about a new creation using 'the whole coconut and nothing but the coconut.'   Alex decided to go back home and chop open a coconut (quite a dangerous task!). He then poured the coconut water into a blender, and scraped the coconut meat out as well.   He blended the two ingredients together. The taste and texture was like nothing he'd ever experienced.   The first words out of his mouth were, "This is GENIUS!"   Website Facebook Twitter Instagram LinkedIn TikTok Connect with Justine:  Website Facebook Instagram LinkedIn   Connect with NextGenChef: Website  Facebook  Twitter  Instagram  YouTube NextGenChef App (Apple) NextGenChef App (Android)    Episode Highlights: 00:59 The Genius Juice 06:51  Where the Entrepreneur's Drive Come From 10:53 Entrepreneurship Needs a Roadmap  14:31 Genius Juice in 5 Yummy Flavors 18:21 Options and Equity 22:50 The Primary Component of Success 25:57 Many People Do Not Know About This Big Discount!

Going from a former insurance agent to a successful entrepreneur with a Shark Tank appearance under his belt (January 2020,) Genius Juice Founder Alex Bayer has quite the story!  Genius Juice makes the purest coconut smoothie on the market, and produces over 20,000 coconuts per day and brings in several containers per month. They use less than 10 ingredients per bottle, their top seller has 2 ingredients and their number 2 seller has only 5 ingredients. "We pride ourselves on simplicity, taste, and benefits of using coconut water and coconut meat in every single bottle produced. I often say there's 'no dumb stuff in our product' he jokes. Despite the Shark Tank deal not working out, the company raised half a million dollars in one month after the episode aired. He chats with Pete about future growth, the beverage market, his two new key hires (Casey Plachek & Gavin Linde) the story behind the company name, behind-the-scenes experiences on Shark Tank, and more!  Contact him at Alex@geniusjuice.com, email  orders@geniusjuice.com if you're interested in wholesale, and use genius10 as coupon code to get it for $5 per bottle!

Today’s guest is Alex Bayer, founder of Genius Juice. Alex hasn’t always been an entrepreneur, but he has picked up several valuable skills along the way that have given him a leg up when he did decide to start out on his own. He honed his sales technique while selling Afflack insurance, and he learned all about marketing and distribution during his time at a non-profit. So the preparation was all there when he had his Eureka moment when a friend made him his first whole coconut smoothie. He seized the opportunity and turned a simple healthy smoothie into a nationwide brand. Listen in as we cover everything from the difficulties of having to kick out a partner who is also a friend, the importance of recognizing your own limitations and hiring people who complement your strengths, and why the fourth time was the charm when it came to getting on Shark Tank.

Most Americans are sick. Alex Bayer saw it first hand, dealing insurance policies for AFLAC in southern California. Born and raised in Palos Verdes, he has followed an extremely healthy and active lifestyle from an early age. In his 20's, he became ‘too busy' and was always on the go, never having time to cook a meal or prepare food, and smoothies became a way of life for him. When the coconut craze hit, he discovered that coconuts were a great source of nutrients and benefits, and he always wondered why the full coconut meat was never included in coconut drinks. He started cold blending coconut water and coconut meat in his vitamix blender, eventually giving birth to the Genius Juice formula with coconut milk. Alex has persevered through a lot. Now, in over 400 stores, he is ready to take it to the next level: Finding simplicity The shocking things Alex witnessed at AFLAC A lot of times we are “experts” without even knowing it.
