41 months after I posed the original question, The Simply Good Foods Company has finally given me the answer I've been waiting for! So, I've been alluding to this “eat or be eaten” phase of The Simply Good Foods Company for the last 3.5 years. But only a few days after posting that January 2021 Simply Good Foods prediction, the company released its first quarter earnings report and then-CEO Joe Scalzo dropped some details on the conference call that I turned into another more detailed prediction mostly exploring plant-based protein convenient nutrition names...one of which was a relatively under-the-radar brand named Only What You Need (OWYN). And for those that haven't seen last week's headlines yet (and are confused by all that previous information), The Simply Good Foods Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement under which it will acquire OWYN for $280 million in cash. For my finance people that enjoy knowing the deal specifics, that purchase price represents a multiple of approximately 2.3x estimated 2023 net sales and 13.3x estimated adjusted EBITDA, including run-rate synergies. Seeing the gap in the protein beverages market, OWYN was created in 2017 to delivered enough plant protein and the right combinations of amino acids for muscle building and repair…plus enough calories to provide sustainable energy during workouts and training. In that same year, CPG legend Jason Cohen and longstanding partner Clearlake Capital invested in OWYN and helped fill key management positions with people who had deep industry experience…one of which, Mark Olivieri, was arguably the most impactful. He led brand marketing that evolved the brand purpose of OWYN to stand for truth and transparency and positioned OWYN as not just another plant-based option, but as a riskless plant-based option. He built a strategic narrative around the belief that the detrimental health impacts of over-claiming and under-testing is not just a marketing issue, but also is a social issue. Mark Olivieri would eventually become President and then CEO in August 2021, leading them through a few key investment transactions, and staying true to that quest to fuel bodies with cleanest nutrition…thus turning OWYN into a powerhouse brand across multiple sales channels, product formats, and pack types. In fact, within the last 52-week period ending March 24, 2024…OWYN is the fastest growing RTD protein shake brand in the market (growing 10 times more than the categorical average). Why I said OWYN “gets slept on” too much within the protein category is they are in the early phase of building a truly distinctive brand that has increasingly, mainstream appeal with a highly engaged, passionate core customer. But the remaining part of this content piece will focus on why (beyond the brand strategic narrative stuff that) I thought OWYN was a strategically compelling M&A opportunity way back in 2021 and why Simply Good Foods finally saw the light now...and then what does this mean to the convenient nutrition competitive landscape (Should market leaders like Premier Protein, Fairlife/Core Power, and Muscle Milk be nervous?)

I'm joined by Jason Cohen, a four-time entrepreneur and current Chief Innovation Officer of WP Engine, to discuss his three best startup ideas: a tool for optimizing social media replies, a simpler, lower price segment, and helping people make practical, simple strategies.

Jason Cohen founded WPEngine in 2010 and broke $20m within 4 years. Today, the company does $400m+ in Revenues. In this podcast Cohen teaches 9 rules he used to change his org chart, optimize roles, and replace himself as CEO as he scaled. Will they break $500m revenue this year?

Momofuku built its reputation as a company that was always willing to stir the pot. It may, however, regret stirring this one.  David Chang's restaurant and consumer brand empire is under fire for sending cease-and-desist letters to brands using its trademarked term “chili crunch,” a move that has elicited rage among some in the food industry who feel that Momofuku is unfairly targeting small, women-owned and minority-led businesses. The hosts leap into the fray with their own takes on this hot and developing story.  They also riff on Japanese TikTok, ASMR videos of people eating, a new spirit brand that, according to the founder, may make your brain “bounce that ass,” and a bevy of new food and drinks, including a non-alcoholic negroni and a brand that has “pretzelized” your favorite snacks. Show notes: 0:35: Soccer Talk Eclipses NCAA History. Everyone Seems Agitated, Except VIPs. Jacqui's Finger Wink. – Four hours before his beloved Arsenal is set to take the field, Mike is glistening and hydrating. John and Jacqui wonder who in the audience follows European soccer, and the hosts share their respective opinions on Momofuku's recent legal moves and why they may cause more problems than solutions for the company. Ray highlights the benefits of becoming a Taste Radio VIP, John shares shots of peanut butter-flavored tequila (but not his negroni) although Mike passes on one in lieu of a non-alcoholic cider. The hosts also munch on mochi, praise a modern version of Dunkaroos and entrepreneur Jason Cohen's latest opus, and wonder why Jacqui uses an appendage to move her eyelid.

Episode SummaryThis episode of the Sunny Side Up podcast discusses pricing and packaging strategies for business growth with guest David Vogelpohl. Key topics covered include prioritizing pricing as an iterative strategy, identifying moves for growth while navigating complexity, marketing misconceptions around pricing, optimizing free trials, ensuring sales and marketing alignment, and determining ownership of pricing decisions.

For 25+ years David has led teams building engines of growth & innovative software for leading brands like WP Engine, AWS, Cloudflare, and more. David is an actionable-insights style speaker focusing on tactics you can use to drive growth. Connect with David Vogelpohl Key takeaways - Pricing and packaging should be prioritized as an ongoing iterative strategy for business growth, not just for new product launches - Use a "growth mustache" framework to identify which parts of the growth equation (new ARR, upgrades, downgrades, churn) pricing moves will affect   - Marketers may misconceive that customers won't accept price increases or that they solely control packaging decisions - Take an iterative approach to pricing testing rather than direct A/B tests to maintain trust - Optimize free trials by surfacing critical moments and considering paid trials for validation - Ensure transparency, clear communication, and alignment between sales and marketing on pricing strategies Quotes“At the end of the day, you're operating a business that delivers value to your customers and part of your duty in that is to operate a successful business. If you don't operate a successful business, you can't fulfill your duty to deliver that value.” David on how businesses need to make decisions that ensure long-term success.

This podcast interview focuses on the entrepreneurial journey to build a business that lasts and creates funding freedom. My guest is Jason Cohen, Founder of WPEngine. Jason built four technology startups, both bootstrapped and funded, both alone and with co-founders. He grew all of them to more than $1M in annual revenue and has sold two.  Beyond that, he's been an angel investor and a founding member of Capital Factory, an Austin-based incubator and co-working space since 2009. Since 2007 he's been documenting his experiences and thoughts about early-stage startups on his blog: A Smart Bear.  Based on his experiences and the challenges he faced as the blog grew, he founded WPEngine in 2010. It's a platform that provides brands with the solutions they need to create remarkable sites and apps on WordPress that drive their business forward faster.  Their mission: To help customers win online. And this inspired me, and hence I invited Jason to my podcast. We explore his lessons in building successful companies. He elaborates on the importance of getting the problem definition right and understanding what moves potential customers to buy. He shares his views on how to select your market and betting a super-specific niche. He talks in detail about his rules for attracting funding (or not) - and what WPEngine did during COVID-19 to keep growing.  Here's one of his quotes The question is, what can you learn from customer interviews? I don't think you can use customer reviews to know, 'Can I build this? Would you buy this feature?'  But I do think you can use customer interviews for stuff like: What is their life like? What do they care about already, or not? What do they do? What are their workflows? Do they see this problem? Or don't they? Are these compelling?  These are things where if you build the product, you don't learn those things. Ask the customer, they actually can tell you because they're not solving the problem for you. They're not building the product for you. They're just telling you about themselves. That they can do. During this interview, you will learn four things: What questions to ask to start your business with a solid foundation for long-term success What makes hyper-specific SaaS companies grow faster His first principle for thinking about raising funds that helps you to stay in control. What he's looking for when making big bets when it comes to profitability.

In this thought-provoking episode of "The Rational Egoist," host Michael Liebowitz is joined by Professor Andrew Jason Cohen, Director of the Philosophy, Politics, and Economics Program at Georgia State University. Known for his works on toleration, civil discourse, and applied ethics, Professor Cohen offers a unique perspective on the ethics of reparations for the descendants of slaves. During their conversation, Professor Cohen posits that the federal government perpetrated an egregious crime against slaves, the ramifications of which continue to affect their descendants. He argues that it's the government's moral obligation to make amends. Yet, the conversation takes an intriguing twist as they delve into the logistics of funding these reparations. The government, devoid of its own funds, would necessitate taxing its citizenry to finance this endeavour. But this raises serious ethical questions: Is it just to make present-day citizens shoulder the financial burden for crimes they didn't commit? Professor Cohen likens the situation to a corporation taxing its shareholders to pay off a debt, but Michael contests this comparison. Unlike a corporation, the government operates by the principle of coercion, effectively forcing individuals to part with their hard-earned money for a cause they might not endorse.Moreover, considering the existing financial woes of the United States, which is already trillions of dollars in debt, how ethical and prudent would it be to accrue even more debt? Join Michael and Professor Cohen as they dissect the complexities surrounding the ethics of reparations. This episode will challenge your perspectives and compel you to critically examine the morality of government-imposed financial burdens. Don't miss this illuminating discourse that navigates the intersection of ethics, politics, and economics.
