On the Produce Buzzers Podcast, we usually only feature fresh fruits and veggies instead of processed products. But there are some good processed products in the produce aisle. Most juices in the grocery store are not very good for you. They are often made with concentrated fruit juice which is almost like pure sugar syrup. But if you look in the produce section you will find some that are loaded with nutritional benefits. One of the best brands is Suja Juice. All organic and non-GMO, their juices undergo “high-pressure processing” to extend their shelf life without using any heat or preservatives. This keeps the nutrition and the delicious flavors locked in, unlike most juices that undergo heat pasteurization. Because of that, you will only find Suja Juice in the produce aisle. They are like fresh produce in a bottle. This week's guest is Jody Cnossen, EVP of Sales for Suja Juice. Listen in to learn about their delicious and nutritious line of products. They have immunity boosters, energy, digestive, and cleansing shots, and just plain juice made with the most nutritious fruits and veggies. They can definitely juice up your diet!

Starting a business is no easy feat. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 20% of businesses fail by the first year, and 50% close by the fifth. So the odds of starting one successful business—let alone two—are stacked against you. But defying the odds is something that today's WorkParty guest, Annie Lawless, knows a thing or two about. In 2012, Annie launched her first company, the cold-pressed juice brand Suja Juice, which she scaled into such a success that Coca-Cola and Goldman Sachs each bought multi-million-dollar stakes (!). And now her second business, the clean beauty brand Lawless Beauty, is on a similar trajectory. The band doubled its sales as of October 2020 and is on track to double its overall sales in 2021. Needless to say, I'm so excited that she's here today to chat about how she started a successful second business, how she formulated a strategic exit strategy from her first company, and so much more!

Caroline Beckman is the founder and CEO of Nouri Life, a probiotics company with a mission to bring community and immunity together by delivering Gut Health solutions to the commercial market.  At only 18 years old, and within weeks of beginning her Bachelors Degree in Business Administration with the University of San Diego, Caroline connected with a group of entrepreneurs to form the company Suja Juice. Here, her role as VP of Special Projects meant choosing being a full-time entrepreneur over completing her degree. She followed this by forming Nomva, a probiotic superfoods company, at 22 years old. Despite its closure in 2017, it proved an invaluable learning experience in business. Caroline's passion lies in transforming imagination into action throughout the consumer product industry. She believes by means of disruptive technologies, Nouri Life can provide holistic health to the modern consumer. Today Caroline joins us to share her impressive journey, from her days of being homeschooled to becoming the ultimate Entreprenista as founder of 3 companies by the age of 26. Caroline describes her excitement in starting Suja Juice in her college days, learning inventory, production planning, distribution and customer care and how to go from idea to action. We discuss the difficult time when her second company, Nomva, ceased trading and the lessons she learned when having hard conversations. We discuss the leadership difficulties when managing investors and work teams and how recommendations in hiring go a long way.

In this episode of the SLN Podcast, Laurenn Cutshaw sits down with James Brennan, CEO of Enlightened Brand Ventures. James is an investor and entrepreneur who's experienced success in several different industries but is best known for creating the cold-pressed juice category. You may have heard of a little brand called Suja Juice. James is also the mastermind behind Kopari Beauty and Lively, a nootropic supplement company that shifted its focus to CBD wellness. In this episode, James and Laurenn explore some interesting topics, including what's going on with CBD regulation, the emergence of the celebrity-backed brands, and his priorities when entering new partnerships. James also touches on how his teams are maximizing the curious year that is 2020 and the two new consumer product brands he is launching through his new venture Sway Brands in 2021.

Annie Lawless is the founder and CEO behind the high-performance, highly pigmented, and clean makeup line, Lawless Beauty. The line has seen explosive growth since its 2017 launch, including being picked up by retail giant Sephora, in addition to its direct-to-consumer business. But before Lawless was creating high-impact natural makeup, she was obsessing over clean ingredients in another industry altogether: food and beverage. Lawless was a co-founder of one of the largest cold-pressed juice companies in the US, Suja, which, at the time of her exit, was valued at $300 million after investments from Coca-Cola and Goldman Sachs. On this week’s episode, Lawless discusses what it’s like for a company to grow larger than she could have ever predicted and how to know when it’s time to walk away from something to find a more fulfilling path. Plus, she shares a killer breakdown of the factors to weigh when you’re seeking investment.

Talking Growth with James Brennan, Co-Founder of Suja Juice, Enlightened Hospitality Group, Kopari Beauty and so much more!  James is a legend in the San Diego entrepreneurial community and Grayson and James talk about all things Growth including: Opportunity in this Chaotic Time or as James would say “Its total chaos and the opportunities are endless”  How James has successfully build and exited companies across so many industries and business models and how these exits are like trophies  How to build amazing teams and pick partners that compliment your superpowers and passions  James new venture Sway Brands which partners with “real influencers” that actually have influence and true authenticity  And so much more! James lets it rip and this conversation is full of nuggets of gold and is very direct and to the point!

Annie Lawless is a serial entrepreneur. She’s a founder of two successful companies - Suja Juice and Lawless Beauty. At just 27 years old, she was Suja’s youngest founder, a company that was one of the US’s first and largest organic juice brands that landed at #1 on INC’s 5000’s Fastest Growing Companies in the food and beverage category. In 2015, Suja sold 50% of the company, 30% to Coca Cola and 20% to Goldman Sachs, at a $300 million valuation. Now she’s building a clean beauty empire with Lawless Beauty - a beauty brand that aims to provide the same makeup we all love to use, but with clean ingredients. In this episode, Annie and I talk about what it’s like to start fresh after the sale of a lifetime, how she’s working to navigate the clean beauty space, and her best entrepreneurial advice, from how to pitch to embracing a little tension.  Hairbrella: hairbrella.com Young Female Farmers: youngfemalefarmers.com Produced by Dear Media

Annie Lawless is the founder of not one - but two - successful businesses. She started her career as the co-founder of Suja Juice, one of the largest organic juice companies in the country. Now, she’s building a clean makeup empire with Lawless Beauty. Annie has become an expert in two different industries, and she gave us her tips on how to break into a new field.  In this episode, Annie shares how she turns her anxiety into productivity (15:03), why you don’t need a business plan to start a business (17:40), and her advice on navigating partnerships (23:03).

Influencer and entrepreneur, Annie Lawless, found herself with an autoimmune disease during law school, but found a way to self-heal through juicing. Her juicing soon became a flow blown business better known as Suja Juice. After she sold her portion of Suja to Coca-Cola, Lawless started her second business Lawless Beauty. As a makeup junkie, Lawless was unable to find high pigmented products that were clean. Lawless Beauty is now in Sephora stores nationwide and online. Entrepreneurship isn't always glamorous though. Lawless shares on this episode of I Suck At Life everything she has learned from being a two-time entrepreneur and how she still finds work-life balance with her busy schedule.

‘It doesn’t take long for our feet to wear a rut born of habit in our daily, default path. But if we’re fortunate, during any given day, something surprising startles our heart long enough to arrest the bustle and disrupt our rut.’ The question is, do we have to wait for that something surprising to happen spontaneously? Or can we build the experience of awe into our daily lives? Can we design for wonder? Today, Jeffrey introduces us to his working premise for Season 2: Wonder is not an accident and designing for wonder is not only possible but necessary in our world of deteriorating trust. He walks us through the possible dawn of awe when our ancestors developed the ‘irresistible urge to gaze’ and defines wonder as the emotional experience of surprise that dissolves our biases. Jeffrey also previews the themes of this season by way of two stories, one of a company designing for wonder NOW via Instagram hashtags and another of the philosopher Descartes discovering wonder THEN, in 17th-century Denmark through the laughter of his daughter. Listen in for insight around the role of wonder in facilitating radically new solutions and join the growing alliance of Wonder Trackers who choose wonder over cynicism.

Christine is a headstrong and vocal millennial mom who has had experiences leading her to be called a thought leader. She's the mother of two black dragons - if you're a Game of Thrones fan, you'll appreciate the reference. She had a difficult labor for both children, but knowing that she was born to be a mother - she pushed forward through the journey to motherhood. Christine has moved from the corporate world, to entrepreneurship and back to the corporate world. She returned to the workforce and ended up making 3x the money - because of her transferable skills from her entrepreneurship journey. She talks about how she made the decision to go back to a full time job, how that impacted her family, and how she dealt with the anxiety and emotional turmoil of making a big change and not feeling like she had failed. She defines what is driving millennial moms to be big change agents and we talk about how we are raising our children differently than generations in the past.  Christine talks about how to increase diversity and inclusion within our own atmosphere of influence. I love that Christine is using her writing to help us to internalize how hard it is to be a working millennial mom and try to have it all in life. All important topics to talk about with any mom - I already want to have her back on! Christine's Bio By day, I am a thought leader for marketing to millennial mom and black consumers.

Suja, meaning long, beautiful life, embodies the promise that flows from the cold-pressed beverages it delivers in each and every bottle. Suja was founded by four diverse San Diegans from different walks of life that came together in the most unexpected of circumstances to form what is now the fastest growing organic, cold-pressed and Non-GMO beverage company in the U.S. Suja’s story all began from a shared dream to help people everywhere transform their lives through conscious nutrition. Co-Founder Annie Lawless had been juicing her entire life and from a young age had been aware that what you put in your body affects how you look and more importantly, how you feel. Her friend Eric Ethans had a background as a raw food chef and spent his entire life researching and pairing ingredients to create healthy, delicious meals. The two met in San Diego and bonded over their mutual love of delivering convenient nutrition through foods and beverages that also tasted good. They were frustrated by the lack of pure, organic products on grocery store shelves and decided to create their own juices at home. Meanwhile, James Brennan, a leading hospitality visionary, award-winning restaurateur and one of San Diego’s most successful entrepreneurs, met Eric and was instantly hooked on his homemade juice. Enter Jeff Church, a Harvard MBA and successful social entrepreneur, known for his role as founder and CEO of Nika Water, a social enterprise that donates 100 percent of its profits to clean water projects and poverty alleviation around the world. The rest is history: Co-founders Annie, Eric, James and Jeff came together to form Suja Juice as we know it today, with a mission to get the best quality organic and Non-GMO juice into as many hands as possible. Through the large-scale use of organic, Non-GMO fruits and vegetables, and implementation of a breakthrough displacement technology called High Pressure Processing (HPP), Suja Juice has become the nation’s leading organic and cold-pressed juice brand.

Understanding that you need to pivot and change your current professional path is one thing, but to act on it is another. Both Greg Peyser and Russell Radebaugh each had their defining moments where they had enough of their mundane office jobs. Ironically they both wound up in San Diego at Suja Juice, the cold pressed organic fruit and vegetable juice company. After witnessing first hand the fast paced rise to success and eventual sale to Coca-Cola for $90-million, they decided they were equipped to launch their own company. Some blind optimism, mixed with a little luck, paired with a very strong product, Russ and Greg launched an overnight oats packaged breakfast food called Brekki. Just 7-months in, they have roughly 30 accounts, 21 of which are Whole Foods locations who notoriously hold their brands to a higher standard and only work with high integrity companies using quality ingredients. Please visit www.Brekki.com where they will soon be launching an e-commerce option in case Brekki is not available in stores near you. Also check out www.VicariouslyPodcast.com for our video version of the interview.

On the show today, we have Katie Washburn, Manager of Marketing Partnerships for Suja Juice. Katie has been with Suja since they were just local San Deigo brand selling a few hundred bottles per week, to where they are now bottling 800k bottles per week.  Today’s episode is all about influencer marketing. We’ll be diving into how Suja’s launched their midnight tonic last October with an influencer campaign that was so successful, it crashed their website and they sold out of the product in just three days. On the episode, Katie discusses Why a follower count isn’t the only thing you should look at when selecting influencers How to build an influencer program that’s sustainable for the long term What platforms you should focus on for the most effective influencer marketing…   And of course, what made the launch of their midnight tonic so ridiculously successful. If you’ve had influencer marketing on your radar or you’re thinking it’s time to up your game, you are in for a treat.

This week Danny Lobell is joined by comedian Matt Lieb in the studio. The two discuss Suja Juice, chocolate, jeans and LinkedIn. Matt also shows off his great vocals in creating an amazing jungle for Dumb money mistakes.  Enjoy!

Annie Lawless, Co-Founder of Suja Juice and Certified Holistic Health Coach (CHHC), is a health and wellness guru, who embodies Suja’s underlying message that encourages people to live a long, beautiful life. She plays a key role at Suja, bringing years of experience and firsthand knowledge in holistic nutrition and well being to every aspect of the company.
