Send us a textBeverage Digest Editor & Publisher Duane Stanford and industry expert & regular podcast contributor John Sicher discuss Rodney Sacks' announced retirement as CEO of Monster Beverage. When Rodney Sacks and Hilton Schlosberg spotted the emerging energy drink trend in the early 2000s, few could have predicted they'd build a $53 billion global empire. Yet that's exactly what they did with Monster Energy, creating a brand that now rivals corporate giants like Ford and DuPont in market value.The announcement of Sacks' upcoming retirement as Co-CEO (transitioning to chairman until 2026) marks a pivotal moment in beverage industry history. His legacy? Transforming a small juice company into a dominant force commanding 35% of the US energy drink market, with 35 brands sold in 159 countries and $7.5 billion in annual revenue.As leadership transitions to Schlosberg amid a flurry of industry consolidation (Celsius acquiring Alani Nu, Ghost Energy joining Keurig Dr Pepper), Monster's future success will depend on maintaining the competitive edge and strategic discipline that defined the Sacks era while adapting to an increasingly crowded marketplace.

Keurig Dr Pepper (NASDAQ: KDP) basically went from getting its categorical ass whipped to being the most interesting energy drinks portfolio in just two short years by acquiring a large stake in Nutrabolt (owner of C4 Energy), strategically partnering with Black Rifle Coffee Company to distribute its new energy drink, acquiring GHOST Lifestyle, and adding Bloom Energy to its national DSD system. But what if KDP was making all these strategic moves to simply hedge against a growing risk on its multibillion-dollar U.S. coffee segment? KDP was recently charged by the SEC over making inaccurate statements within past earnings reports about the recyclability of K-Cups. And while the civil penalty levied was laughable, it highlights sustainability questions at a time when conscious consumerism is becoming more popular. If anything, maybe it's telling when the K-Cup inventor has publicly stated for years his regret over the negative environmental impact of those tiny plastic pods.

I'd like to thank the Austin Business Journal for carrying on this decade-long tradition of sporadically mentioning Nutrabolt IPO rumors after each new major business milestone has been reached. The first IPO rumors showed up in an August 2014 PricePlow blog post…after it noticed a spike in search traffic related to Nutrabolt receiving a significant minority investment from private equity firm, MidOcean Partners. Then, at the end of 2022…I predicted Nutrabolt would go public within the next year after receiving an $863 million investment from Keurig Dr Pepper. But what major business milestone did Nutrabolt recently reach that restarted this IPO rumors heading into 2025? Nutrabolt just exceeded one billion dollars in trailing twelve months retail sales data. And you might be wondering…how elusive is that feat? Within the ingestible CPG categories of food, beverage, and supplements…there's only about 80 total brands that currently exceed one billion dollars in annual retail sales. In 2002, Nutrabolt (legally known as Woodbolt Distribution) was founded with the launch of the sports nutrition brand Cellucor. And then nine years later, Cellucor launched the C4 pre-workout product, which is currently (and has been for much of the last decade) the leading pre-workout brand globally. In early-2017, Nutabolt acquired Scivation, the maker of the top-selling post-workout recovery brand Xtend. But it was a year later when Nutrabolt made the single-most important decision in the company history to-date by launching carbonated C4 Energy drinks, which as I just mentioned essentially forced that hero SKU of Cellucor to be spun off into its own platform brand. Additionally, Nutrabolt acquired a significant minority stake in Bloom Nutrition last January…having the strategic foresight to allocate a portion of that KDP capital beyond simply fueling the energy drinks segment growth. And by all accounts a year later that strategic investment decision has paid off mightily…especially after Nutrabolt helped Bloom successfully launch its own energy drink about six months ago. And as I predicted…with KDP being impressed by the standout launch Bloom energy drinks had at Target last summer, it decided in October to sign a national sales and distribution deal with the female-forward positioned brand that began officially this month. But while Bloom might've been the first significant minority (but strategic) investment…I don't see it being the last. And that's because since that Nutrabolt and KDP deal content…I've been forthcoming on my belief that the executive leadership team is strategically focused on building a health and wellness focused version of Unilever. But while some portfolio expansion might come from internal brand (and product) development, I believe most will happen from accretive deal making that extends Nutrabolt into more key consumer-driven wellness platforms. So, my latest first principles thinking content will start by stating assumptions of the Nutrabolt investment criteria...but then explain which brands I believe could be potential fits for Nutrabolt within the attractive consumer-driven wellness platforms of healthy longevity need states like brain/cognitive health and gut health, but also protein and hydration. Potential Targets mention include: LMNT, Seed Health, Timeline Longevity, Thorne Healthtech, Neutonic, and Legendary Foods FOLLOW ME ON MY SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS LINKEDIN YOUTUBE TWITTER INSTAGRAM FACEBOOK

In an industry that's full of followers, GHOST Lifestyle decided to pull inspiration from much different places and lead a new path to success. And that introductory statement probably didn't sound familiar to almost anyone…well except for the co-founder (and CEO) of GHOST Dan Lourenco. And that's because it's a direct quote from my July 2016 article…where I proclaimed that GHOST Lifestyle (after launching just a few weeks prior) was the number one positioned brand to “win” in the sports nutrition market. But the inspiration for this content obviously is from the Keurig Dr Pepper (NASDAQ: KDP) and GHOST deal announcement from last week. Under the terms of the agreement, KDP will make an initial cash investment of approximately $990 million in exchange for a 60% ownership stake in GHOST. This initial stage of the transaction is expected to close in the next several months. Additionally, starting in mid-2025…KDP expects to invest up to $250 million to buyout existing distribution agreements ahead of beginning to sell and distribute GHOST Energy through the KDP DSD network. And then in 2028, KDP will purchase the outstanding 40% stake in GHOST at a pre-negotiated valuation scale that will reflect its 2027 financial performance. So, for my napkin math people…this initial stage of the transaction valued GHOST Lifestyle (mostly supplements) and GHOST Beverages (mostly energy drinks) collectively at $1.65 billion. EDITDA multiples were not made public at this time, but that valuation is said to represent (net of anticipated cash tax benefits) an approximately 3x net revenue multiple on a projected 2024 basis. And then finally…GHOST will operate as part of KDP's U.S. Refreshment Beverages segment, though it will continue to be led by its co-founders, Dan Lourenco and Ryan Hughes. And in my latest first principles thinking content, I'll explain why that important detail has short-term (and long-term) ramifications. But I'll reconcile some ominous comments I made in an August 2022 content piece about KDP energy drinks M&A predictions. And though I always believed that AB InBev would see GHOST as the cornerstone asset of its non-alcoholic “beyond beer” total beverage company transformation, it didn't play out like that for a number of reasons (arguably coming from both sides). Moreover, I'll breakdown the KDP energy drink portfolio architecture that now includes Nutrabolt (C4 Energy), and what needs to happen strategically to limit cannibalization. KDP Chief Strategist Justin Whitmore seems to rightfully understands the high-level brand distinction…which is that consumers have bucketed C4 Energy into “performance” and GHOST into “cool lifestyle.” But maybe all that won't be tasked to KDP (at least directly) anyways?

What's up everyone, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Jared DeLuca, Director of Operations at Appcues.Summary: Jared takes us inside the mad but amazing world of martech at Appcues – the top product adoption SaaS on the planet. We cover his transition from demand gen to ops, how he's integrated demo bookings within the product using RevenueHero, the difference between ops and revops. We also cover a ton of ground on AI topics for marketers like machine learning lifecycle management, how to QA AI-driven messages and how to leverage AI to uncover incremental lifts in your campaigns. About JaredJared started his career with a few internships in PR before joining a Market Research firmThat firm was later acquired by a UK based marketing data and analytics company where he worked his way up to Marketing ManagerHe then had a brief detour from SaaS at Keurig Dr Pepper in IoT Marketing Automation and Connected Panel Ops Finally Jared landed at Appcues, first in Demand Gen then Senior Martech and Ops Manager Today Jared is Director of Operations at AppcuesMoving from Demand Gen to Front-End DevelopmentJared's shift from demand generation to front-end development was a mix of opportunity and curiosity. When his team's operations lead left, he stepped in naturally. As the demand gen guy who relied heavily on those systems, Jared was the most logical choice. It wasn't a calculated career move—it was about filling a gap. That's how things go in startups, where you often find yourself doing a bit of everything.His transition into front-end development had a different spark. Budgets were tight, and they didn't have the luxury of hiring contractors. With years of HTML and CSS experience under his belt from working on emails and landing pages, Jared figured he could handle some of the coding work. AppCue supported the idea, allowing him to stretch into JavaScript. For small teams, having someone in-house with a broad skill set is invaluable, and Jared was more than willing to step up.What made this shift special was Jared's personal interest in coding. He enjoyed it. Coding wasn't just a job; it was something fun to experiment with. One evening, while watching TV, he built a lead-gen magnet prototype in just an hour. It was born from a simple idea pitched by the content team, but Jared's ability to quickly turn that into a working model showed the kind of spontaneous creativity that startups thrive on. The prototype may soon go live on their website.Jared's experience highlights the unpredictable nature of roles in smaller companies. You often find yourself taking on responsibilities you never planned for, and those unexpected opportunities can lead to new skills and career growth. For him, it wasn't about following a clear path—it was about being adaptable and ready to learn.Key takeaway: In a startup, being adaptable and willing to learn new skills can lead to unexpected career opportunities. It's less about having a perfect plan and more about being open to filling gaps when they appear.How AI Tools Are Shaping HTML and CSS LearningWhen asked if tools like ChatGPT make learning HTML and CSS easier today, Jared didn't hesitate to agree. He pointed out how much simpler it is for anyone looking to pick up coding now compared to when he started. Back then, you had to figure things out manually, while now, AI tools can assist with the heavy lifting. However, there's a caveat—knowing what to ask for is still crucial.Jared challenged the idea that AI is replacing developers. Instead, he emphasized that understanding the underlying structure of HTML and CSS is still key. Tools like ChatGPT can help speed up the process, but without knowledge of where to apply that code, the benefits are limited. AI can't tell you how to structure a website; it can only help fill in the blanks once you know what you need.He highlighted that while AI can handle repetitive keystrokes, the real value comes when you already know what you're aiming for. It's not about AI replacing junior developers—it's about leveraging these tools to work more efficiently. If someone understands the basics of coding and web structure, AI can cut down the time it takes to implement those tasks significantly.For Jared, the most significant takeaway is how much time he saves. What used to take him hours can now be done in minutes with AI. The difference is in the efficiency, not the replacement of skill. If you know what you're doing, ChatGPT and similar tools become an incredible resource for improving speed and output, but they don't replace the need for foundational knowledge.Key takeaway: AI tools can dramatically speed up coding tasks, but the real advantage comes when you already understand the basics of HTML and CSS. It's not about replacing developers, but about working smarter with the right knowledge and tools.Why Developers Avoid Marketing in Software StartupsWhen asked why developers often seem disinterested in marketing, Jared's perspective was insightful. In his experience, particularly in software startups, it's not that developers are “allergic” to marketing; they simply don't think about it. Their focus is on building and coding—creating the product itself. Marketing, and the role it plays in attracting users, often doesn't even cross their mind.Jared pointed out that many developers operate with a clear mindset: give them the requirements, and they'll build exactly what you need. They're more concerned with functionality than how the product will reach customers. This differs from product teams, who tend to think more about market fit and bridging the gap between building something and getting it to the user.However, Jared has worked with engineers who do think more broadly. In some cases, especially in smaller teams, developers will ask key questions about the user experience and how people will engage with the product. But this tends to fade as companies scale. Jared mentioned his time at Keurig, where engineers were more specialized—focused on delivering exactly what was requested, with little thought to the next steps.In Jared's view, it's less about a lack of interest in marketing and more about developers not having the bandwidth or inclination to focus beyond the task at hand. Their job is to build, and for many, thinking about the next phase—how the product reaches customers—isn't a priority.Key takeaway: Developers in startups aren't necessarily disinterested in marketing; they're simply focused on building. For those seeking to bridge the gap between engineering and marketing, fostering collaboration and highlighting the user journey can encourage developers to think beyond their immediate tasks.How Responsive Support Transforms Marketing OpsJared emphasized how crucial responsive support is in marketing ops. When discussing his shift to Revenue Hero, he highlighted the frustration many teams face when relying on traditional support teams. He described how long it can take to get a response—sometimes 24 to 48 hours—and how those responses are often unhelpful, requiring even more back-and-forth communication.What made Revenue Hero stand out to Jared was its approach to customer support. The team integrated seamlessly into his company's Slack workspace, offering real-time access to their expertise. This level of support was a game changer. For Jared, it wasn't just about the product performing well (which it did), but about the reassurance of knowing that if something went wrong, help was just a Slack message away.One example Jared shared was when a demo request system broke—a critical part of ...

Bloom Nutrition just launched a functional beverage that puts them in direct competition with their largest investor. So, why did Nutrabolt (owner of C4 Energy) not only encourage this Bloom product strategy, but help make their vision a reality? For those that missed the investment deal news from earlier this year in January, Nutrabolt made a significant minority investment into Bloom Nutrition for an ownership stake of approximately 20%. If you remember from my earlier content analyzing that deal, I stated it would be accretive to both companies…but in uniquely distinct ways. While most pundits focused on how the Nutrabolt investment would provide strategic growth capital to fuel and accelerate many key areas of Bloom's business, I concentrated on something not explicitly stated within that press release. And that's because I knew that Bloom's problem was never lack of speed. Instead, it could benefit from the decision-making maturity of Nutrabolt. I might be biased because of my strategic brain, but I've always believed that direction is more important than speed. Bloom Nutrition might be within its aggressive scaling phase, but every “leveling up” in CPG requires a directional checkup to ensure strategic alignment. And the directional checkup needed in early 2024 was determining which category should start Bloom's “ready-to-mix powder to ready-to-drink liquid” beverage identity crisis. But why did Bloom pick energy drinks when it's the top-selling greens supplement brand within any large U.S. retailer it has placement? It mostly comes down to fulfilling a growing Bloom customer want (within the largest functional beverage category) and that being much easier with the brand's ability to leverage the core expertise of Nutrabolt in energy beverage innovation and commercial expansion. Bloom Sparkling Energy is positioned within a great intersection of various wellness-minded consumer product trends, the beforementioned Bloom core customer's expanding wants/needs, and within a fragment of the energy drinks market that's more incremental than would cannibalize its friend (the powerful C4 Energy). Also, I believe the Bloom Nutrition deal is already proving to be value accretive for Nutrabolt. In 2015, when Nutrabolt started dabbling with a smaller-format RTD liquids extension of its Cellucor pre-workout C4…I believe it triggered a butterfly effect that became the single-most important strategic shift in the company history. This lead to C4 Energy becoming a beverage powerhouse…aggressively climbing the energy drinks market leaderboard into the Top 5 brands and catching the eye of Keurig Dr Pepper, which invested $863 million for about 30% of Nutrabolt in December 2022. That large capital infusion from KDP went towards fueling the growth of C4 Energy, but also allowed Nutrabolt to take on the role of investor (with Bloom Nutrition being the first minority investment but likely not the last). With the Bloom Sparkling Energy launch, it helps Nutrabolt (and KDP) get exposure into the growing wellness energy drink subcategory, but also into today's female Gen Z audience that's highly incremental overall and extremely important with the overall energy drinks market. But I'll end this content with a deep examination around what this all could mean for the energy drinks market, Bloom Nutrition, Nutrabolt, and KDP.

Beverage Digest's Duane Stanford and The Breeze contributor John Sicher hash through the strategy and consequences behind Keurig Dr Pepper's decision to take back Dr Pepper franchise territory from Reyes Coca-Cola in California and Nevada. Will KDP take more Dr Pepper territory from Coke, or even Pepsi? Are there implications for the nagging question of whether PepsiCo should refranchise its U.S. bottling system?
Twenty-three years, nine brands and four successful exits. Serial entrepreneur Lance Collins has seen it all. Yes, he sold Fuze and NOS to the Coca-Cola Co. and reaped a windfall return. Yes, Coke also paid billions to buy BodyArmor, while Keurig Dr Pepper acquired Core Hydration for $525 million. There's no question that his wins are impressive. But Lance will tell you that he's made nearly every mistake one can make in the beverage industry and has experienced raw and desperate times, including mortgaging his house to stay in business. When asked about a throughline that has linked his companies and defined his career, Lance points to passion. He says it's why he continues to develop new beverage concepts, such as organic sports drink Recover 180, fitness-centric energy brand Accelerator, additive-free tequila Casa Azul, better-for-you soda MyMuse and ZEN WTR, a brand of sustainable bottled water. We sat down with Lance at the 2024 Beverage Forum, where he talked about his current and past ventures, lessons from successes and missteps, how he identifies white space and defines differentiation, the reason that entrepreneurs fail and why he encourages founders to make “fast mistakes.” Show notes: 0:35: Interview: Lance Collins, Founder, BodyArmor/Recover 180/Accelerator/Fuze – Lance and Taste Radio editor Ray Latif reminisce on past interviews and why the entrepreneur is a “traveling salesman.” Lance also talks about the grind and long-term process of building a beverage company, getting into the beverage alcohol business and why he launched another sports drink brand. He also explains lessons learned from BodyArmor and how he's applying them to Recover 180, the challenge of competing with Celsius, his take on Poppi, the impact of standout package design and why he credits great people to much of his success. Brands in this episode: BodyArmor, Fuze, NOS Energy, Core Hydration, Recover 180, Accelerator, Casa Azul, Celsius, Poppi, MyMuse, Bang, Monster Energy, Red Bull
We're excited to introduce you to Tiana James, most recently the Director of PR & Partnerships at Victoria's Secret PINK (formerly Keurig Dr Pepper & JCPenny) and Avery Bash, a PR and Social Consultant (formerly Smoothie King & Keurig Dr Pepper). Tiana and Avery recently banded together to create Amplifyed, a course that encompasses the real-world experience and knowledge of working in the PR and influencer spaces, designed for recent graduates and small business owners. In this episode, Tiana and Avery chat through the impact of a strong PR and partnerships strategy and their best advice for young professionals! About Tiana James: A seasoned professional in PR strategy, Influencer and Celebrity partnership marketing, Tiana has been amplifying brands for almost 10 years. From retail and fashion to the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industries, her career has been dedicated to making brands culturally relevant. Her excitement for the industry and positive approach to relationships fuels her drive to propel brands forward and empower individuals to take charge of their careers. About Avery Bash: An experienced public relations specialist with a background in digital marketing and startups, Avery has extensive PR and partnerships experience with clients in a variety of industries ranging from tech startups to global lifestyle and wellness brands. With a passion for storytelling and consumer connections, she enjoys challenging the status quo and building creative and effective solutions for brands. About Amplifyed, in Tiana and Avery's own words: Together, we founded Amplifyed because we saw a knowledge gap in the marketing world. So many smart and successful marketers are still uneducated about the ins and outs of public relations and how to work with influencers. There's a lot of gatekeeping! Simultaneously, traditional marketing or communications classes don't necessarily cover the real-world knowledge necessary to start a career in PR or Social Media/Influencer work. So, our course is really geared towards undergraduate students and small business owners - or really anyone who wants to learn the basics about PR and Influencer Relations!

CELSIUS and PepsiCo. Nutrabolt and Keurig Dr Pepper. Bloom and Nutrabolt. NOBULL and TB12. What do these deals have in common (besides the fact that you've seen me break each of them down in content on my channel)? The only law firm in the world dedicated exclusively to the CPG community, Giannuzzi Lewendon. While insights from those massive deals are weaved into our conversation, I took the law firm's partner Ryan Lewendon through my gauntlet of A to Z “CPG land” impactful topics. To be completely honest…this is the type of conversation for those REALLY into the CPG industry. Ryan and I talk about how integral the “divine triad of CPG” is…plus the importance of maximizing strategic optionality by building the brand with intention, both from organizational and customer-facing variables. We also ponder what the future of CPG looks like when its data-driven with layers of artificial intelligence. Moreover, we talk about the good, bad, and ugly around the strategic partnerships involving celebrities and the creator economy. Finally, we take that a step further and talk about today's kingmakers (algorithms) and why the rise of social commerce has its possible downsides within functional CPG product categories. But these are just a few of the insightful topics within our recent conversation… FOLLOW ME ON MY SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS LINKEDIN - https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuaschallmba YOUTUBE - www.youtube.com/c/joshuaschall TWITTER - https://www.twitter.com/joshua_schall INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/joshua_schall FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/jschallconsulting --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/joshua-schall/support
Duane Stanford and John Sicher recap and analyze the most intriguing and unexpected developments in beverages from 2023, including the great alcohol crossover, cannabis regulation, the creator economy, BodyArmor's journey, Bang Energy's fall and rebirth, surprising soda pricing results, and more. Companies covered include Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Keurig Dr Pepper, Athletic Brewing, Bang Energy, Prime Hydration, and many more.
What happens when you combine the number one brand in the convenient nutrition category, a sales channel revenue diversification opportunity with 150K U.S. locations, and a beverage portfolio that's recently shown an affinity for strategic partnerships? If you're an avid follower of my quarterly content that analyzes the performance of the functional CPG brand portfolio BellRing Brands (NYSE: BRBR), that introductory word problem might sound vaguely familiar. And that's because at the very end of last month's video, I stated Keurig Dr Pepper (NASDAQ: KDP) needs to consider entering into a strategic sales and distribution partnership with Premier Protein. The protein beverage U.S. market size is estimated to be somewhere just north of $6 billion. Outside of private label penetration, the top five largest protein beverage brands in the U.S. market would be Premier Protein, Coca-Cola owned tag team of Core Power and Fairlife, Ensure (owned by Abbott Labs), Boost (owned by Nestle), and Muscle Milk (owned by PepsiCo). If you look at the entire protein beverages market, multipack SKUs drive the bulk of the sales activity...but I'm not sure that's ideal long-term from a consumer or market outlook perspective. When you hear players like Premier Protein talk about how the protein beverages have less than half the household penetration of protein bars, it's used to signal a huge long-term growth opportunity. While I agree with this…you also must realize a key driver of that is the consumer cost of entry. How can brands like Premier Protein create a lower cost of entry for consumers to trial protein beverages? They need to embrace a DSD distribution strategy. With stating that…I'm also acknowledging that's easier said than done, and it's a two-way street that requires more of the DSD distribution network to embrace the protein beverage category. I've been publicly predicting KDP needs to get more protein beverage exposure since October 2021. It's that 26-month-old YouTube video that's a bit of a cult classic within the beverage CPG space because it correctly predicted the Nutrabolt/C4 Energy deal, the La Colombe deal, and the Athletic Brewing investment. Protein was mentioned as one of the five beverage categories KDP needed to invest in over the next three years, but I didn't predict Premier Protein as the conviction M&A target. In fact, it was the only beverage category I didn't give a prediction because I thought protein input type created too much strategic optionality. But with KDP CEO changes upcoming in 2024, I've adjusted my previous thoughts. KDP typically seeks out sizable deals that are more complex, resulting in portfolio expansion and distribution scale. As an example, when KDP did deals for C4 Energy, La Colombe, and most recently Electrolit to fill category white spaces…those new brands create more scale and expand the KDP portfolio, which makes its capabilities become stronger. So, its drop sizes get bigger, merchandizing gets more impactful, KDP can service each store more frequently, and its commercial relationships tighten. One of the biggest areas of impact from these recent deals has been in the convenience channel. Sounds like just the thing that Premier Protein can benefit from…and they're also the type of brand that can help feed the KDP flywheel, right?

When they produced their first batch of non-alcoholic beer in 2017, Athletic Brewing Co. co-founders Bill Shufelt and John Walker knew they were on to something special. They may not have realized, however, they were brewing a revolution. Founded in 2017, Athletic Brewing has emerged as one of the fastest growing beverage companies in the U.S. and is leading the charge for a burgeoning cohort of zero-proof alcohol alternatives. According to industry trade group The Brewers Association, Athletic is the 13th largest craft brewer in America and the leading producer of non-alcoholic craft beer. Its products are distributed in all 50 states and available at over 50,000 retail stores nationwide, including Walmart, Costco, Publix, Target and CVS. Amid surging demand – Nielsen data from March showed annual dollar sales of the brand up 94% – Athletic has invested heavily in production. The company operates brewing facilities in Connecticut and San Diego, built in part from the $173.5 million in outside capital the company has raised, including a $50 million investment from Keurig Dr Pepper in November 2022. In this episode, Shufelt and Walker spoke about Athletic's role in the evolution of alcohol-alternative beverages and its influence on how consumers perceive them, why it's in the company's interest to support competitors and how it does so, how they evaluate new retail and distribution opportunities and where resources are best utilized, and how they stay grounded amid continued growth and industry hype. Show notes: 0:43: Interview: Bill Shufelt & John Walker, Co-Founders, Athletic Brewing – Taste Radio editor Ray Latif met with Shufelt and Walker at Athletic Brewing's facility in Milford, Connecticut, where they discussed the brand's outsized growth over the past two years, why they feel a responsibility to support competing brands in the nonalcoholic beer category, and how has how they have maintained the quality of their products amid exponential growth. They also spoke about why they prefer in-house staffing to outsourced help, how they consider entering new retail channels, including convenience stores, and why they are guided by Athletic's long-term vision amid speculation about a potential exit.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Frank Mendoza, a revered figure in the realm of data analytics and AI strategy.His contributions to Fortune 500 companies like Nike, Kelloggs, Keurig Dr Pepper, and Jim Beam as the founder of Catalytics have revolutionised the way these organisations leverage big data, artificial intelligence and advanced analysis.Frank offers practical recommendations to implement AI, making this seemingly daunting technology accessible and actionable demystifies AI, shares his strategic insights, and helps us scout for growth in this exciting field. KEY TAKEAWAYS Over the last 8 years I've worked with some really top brands to introduce analytics concepts like machine learning and chatbots. The hype has really got big in the last few months around what's called generative AI, which is a little bit different from what we've historically called AI or machine learning, but in a nutshell it's got people really excited and companies really want to take advantage and be able to demonstrate a competitive advantage to some of their competitors. It's a really exciting time to be in this space. One of the challenges/constraints all companies face, large or small, is time. Big companies have the ability to throw money at it, small companies don't have that luxury, but they really need to focus their attention. When I approach a company to talk about the potential of leveraging AI, I want to focus on where exactly they're going to be using it and making sure there's a direct tie to business value. There are so many tools that have been thrown out onto the market it's caused a lot of analysis paralysis and businesses are struggling to figure out which tools they should use, where, why and who should be using them. You really need to have a strategic approach to how you're leveraging these technologies to make sure you're getting the biggest bang for the buck. Customers have given you the privilege of providing you with information about themselves that's very important to them, but for you as well to grow your business. How you use that information, where you provide that information to models, all those things are very vital to ensure that you're doing the things necessary to protect that information. OpenAI and Chat GPT have the ability to retrain on the questions that you're asking – those are situations where you really want to provide guard rails/guidelines to your organisation about what you're allowing them to put into there. Generative AI solutions have been trained on publicly available data, images, etc. Our society is moving - I believe – in a positive direction, but it has not moved all the way to where it needs to move. The net result of that is that there is a lot of information out there that's still filled with biases, hate, etc. You want to make sure that when you're leveraging these tools that you take into account these biases and those inherent challenges with leveraging these models and ensuring that you have a level of human judgement in the loop. BEST MOMENTS‘We're now shifting the paradigm from inventing with tools to tools inventing. There are things the tools are doing that are creating something that hasn't existed before.'‘One thing that no organisation can waste is resources and time.'‘Every organisation is unique and the applications of AI are going to be unique to those as well.'‘The ability for you to execute AI is predicated upon your quality of information. I encourage organisations to start looking at that and take advantage of “data enablement” to enable businesses to move forward. It's a daunting task but you don't want to boil the ocean, that's where I help organisations understand where exactly they should put their focus, energy and effort.'
