Chris Chavez and Mac Fleet break down the biggest winners and losers from the Diamond League final in Zurich. Some of the top highlights from the meet include…- Brittany Brown makes the most of her second shot at the World team by winning the 200m final in a season's best 22.13.- Niels Laros solidifies his spot as the top dog in the 1500m with an undeniable victory over world leader Azeddine Habz, world junior record holder Phanuel Koech, and 2019 World champion Timothy Cheriyot, running 3:29.20 to also claim the Dutch national record by 0.03 seconds.- Audrey Werro thrills the home crowd in Switzerland with a huge win and national record in the 800m, as she and Georgia Hunter Bell both dip under 1:56 for the first time in their careers, with Werro holding onto the edge with 1:55.91 to 1:55.96.- Olympic champ Emmanuel Wanyonyi had to go to the well to stay ahead of Max Burgin on the homestretch of the 800m, but in the end he had just enough in the tank to take the win in 1:42.37 to Burgin's 1:42.42.- World champ Noah Lyles and Olympic champ Letsile Tebogo battle for every step of the 200m, with Lyles just beating his rival by inches in the end, 19.74 to 19.76.- Olympic 100m champ Julien Alfred doesn't look like she's missed a step after withdrawing from two Diamond Leagues earlier this month with a hamstring issue, holding off a strong challenge from Tia Clayton to take the title in 10.76.____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠⁠ + Mac Fleet | @macfleet on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠Mentioned in this episode…Watch: ⁠Zurich Diamond League Final Interviews⁠Listen: ⁠Nikki Hiltz On Their Career-Defining Season To Repeat As National Champion, Winning A Diamond League, And Heading To The World Championships As A Medal Threat⁠Listen: ⁠Record-Breaking 16-Year-Old Cooper Lutkenhaus On His Decision To Turn Professional & Sign With Nike⁠Listen: ⁠Kenneth Rooks On His “Rollercoaster” 2025 Season And His Hopes For The World Championships In Tokyo⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Straight out of Bikini Bottom, Olipop's limited edition SpongeBob cans have arrived.

“It's holding onto the fact that truly anything can happen. That's why I'm a fan of the sport. I love watching upsets happen. I love watching dragons get slayed and things like that. It's exciting! I think no matter what, I'm just going in to try to run a 1500 that I'm proud of and let the outcome be the outcome. That's not the focus; the focus is just doing the thing I love.”Three straight U.S. outdoor titles, a Diamond League victory, and a season that has firmly established Nikki Hiltz as America's standard-bearer in the 1500m.Earlier this month at Hayward Field, they did exactly what we've come to expect: poised in the pack, patient when the laps slowed, and then — with 100 meters to go — devastating to the competition. A 58-second last lap sealed a third consecutive national title and another ticket to the global stage.If we go beyond the results on the track, this year brought about quite a bit of change. Nikki underwent contract talks to start the year and stuck with Lululemon. They switched up their coaching setup and started working with Juli Benson. All of this while privately recovering from top surgery, which they revealed just recently. Many of these things would seed doubt in an athlete, but Nikki has not skipped a beat.Most recently, the Brussels Diamond League proved that — another perfectly timed kick down the final straight to reel in Australia's Linden Hall and score their first-ever Diamond League win in 3:55.94, making history as the first American in seven years to win a 1500m on that stage.Now, Hiltz heads to Tokyo as more than a national champion. I firmly believe they're a medal contender. Consistent, battle-tested, and dangerous when the race is decided late.We talk about the evolution behind this season, the mental battles of change and competition, and how Hiltz has grown into thinking about themselves as not just one of America's best, but one of the world's.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Nikki Hiltz | @nikkihiltz on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠Mentioned in this episode…Listen: Nikki Hiltz's 2025 USA Track & Field Outdoor National Championships 1500m Recap - Ali on the Run Show____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Straight out of Bikini Bottom, Olipop's limited edition SpongeBob cans have arrived.

Aishwarya Iyer built one of the fastest-growing premium CPG brands by doing what many startups overlook: putting product integrity, brand trust, and strategic timing ahead of rapid retail expansion. In this episode, Aishwarya, the founder and CEO of admired pantry staples company Brightland, shares how discovering a major gap in the olive oil industry sparked the creation of her mission-driven, design-forward brand. She dives into her philosophy of disciplined growth, reveals why she turned down Whole Foods twice, and explains why building a lasting business starts with knowing your customer better than anyone else. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Aishwarya Iyer, Founder & CEO, Brightland – Aishwarya draws parallels between her personal journey as a new mother and entrepreneur, and emphasizes the importance of belief and mindfulness in the growth of and success of Brightland. She talks about how Brightland was born out of a conviction that consumers deserved better olive oil, the company's focus on sourcing California-produced, high-quality oils and how she educated herself about the category and entrepreneurship. Aishwarya is candid about her early doubts, logistical missteps, and the pressure of launching Brightland, how she landed a small but impactful New York Times mention and her decision to turn down Whole Foods (twice).  The conversation also delves into Brightland's brand strategy, where the beautiful, elevated packaging acts as a “Trojan Horse” to invite education and trial. She also talks about why Brightland launched a more accessible everyday line, inspired by brands like Ralph Lauren that successfully straddle luxury and mainstream markets. Aishwarya discusses how PR, storytelling, and thoughtful retail strategy have shaped Brightland's growth, and stresses the importance of product integrity over just aesthetics. She closes with advice on avoiding comparison and noise, encouraging entrepreneurs to periodically unplug from social media to reconnect with their vision and the reasons that they launched their companies.  Brands in this episode: Brightland, Aura Bora, Tip Top Cocktails

Katlin Smith is the founder and CEO of Simple Mills, a food company that makes a wide array of delicious gluten-free, grain-free, paleo-friendly, and non-GMO foods. Before starting her own company from scratch, Smith was a strategy and operations consultant. After years of relying on processed foods because of her demanding job, she switched to a Paleo diet in hopes of reaping the health benefits. Disappointed with the lack of store-bought options for her new lifestyle, Smith started making recipes of her own using healthier ingredients like almond flour and coconut sugar. With no background in food production or distribution, Smith reached out to her local Whole Foods when she was ready to sell her now-famous Almond Flour Muffin Mix. When the chain agreed to sell it on its shelves, Smith was eager to grow her business. She went back to school to build on the skills she acquired as a consultant and develop new ones so she could expand her line of products and distribute them widely. Today, Simple Mills is sold in over 30,000 stores nationwide, and Flowers Foods recently acquired the business for $795 million, marking one of the biggest female-founder exits in recent CPG history.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

"Going into Tokyo, as long as I get back to those basic things that helped me be successful in the past, I'm going to be just fine. I can focus on the process, get back to running my race, focus on what I need to do each lap in different circumstances and scenarios, have fun, and not put too much pressure on myself." My guest for today's episode is Olympic silver medalist Kenneth Rooks. However, he hasn't quite looked like that this entire season. It left many wondering if last year's Olympic silver medalists had slipped from his form. But back at Hayward Field just a couple weeks ago in his element, Rooks gave the answer. He was calm through the opening kilometers of the U.S. Championship final, unhurried as the laps ticked by. He moved up lap after lap until he was finally leading – and he never gave that lead back.A 59-second last lap sealed his third straight U.S. Championship title in 8:26.56, fending off his training partner Dan Michalski and veteran Bernard Keter. Rooks officially punched his ticket to Worlds and then a couple weeks later helped Michalski get the standard to secure his own berth to the World Championships in Tokyo.It was a vintage Kenneth Rooks race: patient, poised, and relentless when it mattered most. Now the BYU alum returns to the global stage in Tokyo with the big question hanging in the air: can he summon that magic again?We talk about bouncing back from some disappointing performances, how the results make a bit more sense when you look at the bigger picture, managing the weight of expectations, and how he's looking to summon that same grit again in Tokyo.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Kenneth Rooks | @kenneth_rooks on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠Mentioned in this episode…Watch: 2025 U.S. Championships Men's 3000m steeplechase final____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Straight out of Bikini Bottom, Olipop's limited edition SpongeBob cans have arrived.

Cooper Lutkenhaus, the 16-year-old high school star who shattered his own U.S. 800m high school record and broke the 800m U18 world record with a 1:42.27 runner-up finish at last month's U.S. Outdoor Track and Field Championships, has opted to forego all of his remaining high school and collegiate eligibility to turn professional and sign a contract with Nike. The decision comes before he is set to race the 800m at the World Championships in Tokyo next month and makes history as the youngest American ever to represent the U.S. at a World Championship.“I'm just super excited and blessed for the opportunity,” Lutkenhaus tells CITIUS MAG. “To be able to run professionally at such a young age is not very common, so to be represented by the best brand is very exciting.”Lutkenhaus will remain enrolled at Northwest High School in Texas, where he's beginning his junior year. He is represented by Ray Flynn and Flynn Sports, who have also represented top high school stars over the past 30 years, including Alan Webb and Drew Hunter. He will continue being coached by Northwest head cross country and track coach Chris Capeu. Classes started on Aug. 13th.Lutkenhaus is the fourth-fastest American in U.S. history at 800m (behind American record holder Bryce Hoppel, 2019 World champion, and 2025 U.S. champion Donavan Brazier and 2025 World Indoor champion Josh Hoey) and No. 18 on the World all-time list. He is the sixth-fastest man in the world in 2025.Listen to previous episodes here:Cooper Lutkenhaus Interview: https://apple.co/4oRrS9f | SpotifyChris Capeau Interview: https://apple.co/4m3BnzH | SpotifyRead our full news story here: https://citiusmag.com/articles/cooper-lutkenhaus-signs-nike-contract-turns-professional-before-world-championships-2025SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Straight out of Bikini Bottom, Olipop's limited edition SpongeBob cans have arrived.

If you've ever felt lost, stuck, or like you're falling behind because you haven't “found your purpose,” this episode is for you. In this powerful conversation with Rhea Jacobs, we unpack the real truth about purpose — and why the pressure to find it might be what's holding you back.

In this thought-provoking episode of the SuperLife Podcast, Darin sits down with John Mackey, co-founder and visionary leader behind Whole Foods Market, to explore the philosophy of Conscious Capitalism, the power of purpose in business, and the future of food. Together, they dive into leadership lessons from building a global brand, the four pillars of Conscious Capitalism, and the role of love, integrity, and trust in creating a thriving organization. Mackey also shares deeply personal insights into his own journey, the challenges of staying true to your mission in a profit-driven world, and his latest passion project: building healthier, more sustainable communities through food.     What You'll Learn: [00:00] Darin introduces John Mackey and sets the stage for an in-depth discussion on purpose-driven leadership and conscious business. [02:15] John reflects on the origins of Whole Foods Market, starting from a small natural food store in Austin to becoming a global supermarket chain. [05:40] The early challenges of convincing investors and the market that healthy, organic food could be profitable. [08:52] John's “aha moment” that capitalism could be more than just profit-making — the seed that grew into Conscious Capitalism. [12:25] How the four pillars of Conscious Capitalism (Higher Purpose, Stakeholder Integration, Conscious Leadership, and Conscious Culture) emerged. [15:48] Stories from Whole Foods' journey that illustrate putting purpose over short-term gains. [18:30] Why purpose isn't enough — the importance of aligning stakeholders, leadership, and culture for lasting impact. [21:10] Addressing the critics: the misconception that conscious business is “soft” or anti-profit. [24:42] Mackey's thoughts on leadership as a service and why love belongs in the workplace. [27:55] How Whole Foods balanced high-quality standards with scalability in a fast-growing market. [31:40] The Amazon acquisition — what changed, what stayed the same, and lessons learned from merging with a corporate giant. [36:15] John's insights on food systems, sustainability, and the health crisis in America. [39:50] Why personal health is a leadership responsibility — and how his plant-based lifestyle influences his work. [42:28] Mackey's new ventures after Whole Foods: building a movement to make healthier eating accessible for all. [46:03] The role of entrepreneurs in solving the planet's biggest problems. [50:17] Advice for young leaders: How to stay true to your purpose in a noisy, profit-driven world. [53:44] Darin's closing thoughts and a call to action for listeners to integrate conscious principles into their own lives and businesses.     Thank You to Our Sponsors Fatty15: Get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to fatty15.com/DARIN and using code DARIN at checkout.

“The overarching message that I think Sean has with this book is that whatever ‘it' is, go for it. If this is your thing and you give it all you've got and don't limit yourself to what's been done and what's been possible, the sky's the limit on what you can do.” Today's guest is someone whose work has shaped how we understand running at its most human level through writing about running. Chris Lear is the author of Running with the Buffalos, a book that for many is the gold standard of distance running storytelling.Two decades ago, Chris embedded himself with the University of Colorado's cross country team during one of its most dramatic seasons, and what turned out was a story of triumph, tragedy, and relentless pursuit that became a cult classic for runners everywhere. Now Chris is back with one of the most anticipated running books: Beyond Fast - the story of coach Sean Brosnan. It's written with Sean Brosnan and NBC News' Andrew Greif.Brosnan's journey is an unlikely one from BMX tracks on Long Island to the world of collegiate running and eventually to Newbury Park High School, where he transformed a struggling program into a dynasty. During his six years there, Brosnan didn't just build champions; he built what many believe was the greatest high school cross country team of all time.His impact went beyond workouts and race results; he created a culture that challenged young athletes to push past their limits and reimagine what was possible. In this conversation, we talk with Chris about the stories behind Beyond Fast and how a coach with a renegade spirit changed the sport of high school distance running.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Chris LearProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠Mentioned in this episode…Pre-order: Beyond Fast: How a Renegade Coach and His Unlikely High School Team Revolutionized Distance RunningOrder: Running with the Buffaloes: A Season Inside With Mark Wetmore, Adam Goucher, And The University Of Colorado Men's Cross Country Team____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Straight out of Bikini Bottom, Olipop's limited edition SpongeBob cans have arrived.

When Brandon and Whitney Cawood's three-year-old son was expelled from daycare for aggressive behavior, they faced a crossroads that would change not only their lives but potentially millions of others. Rather than accepting the psychiatric diagnoses being pushed on them, they discovered something shocking: their son's severe behavioral issues weren't psychological at all—they were chemical reactions to synthetic food dyes hiding in his daily allergy medication and antibiotics.Within 48 hours of removing these petroleum-based chemicals from his diet, they met their real son for the first time. This revelation launched them on a journey that would lead to creating the documentary "To Dye For," building a community of nearly one million parents, and influencing legislation across multiple states.To Dye For Documentary Dr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here

In a world where healthcare often focuses on treating illness rather than promoting wellness, what does it really take to live a healthy, vibrant life? In this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with John Mackey, co-founder of Whole Foods Market, to explore his journey from building one of America's most iconic food companies to rethinking health, purpose, and consciousness. We talk about his new venture, Love.Life, and how it fits into a bigger philosophy that includes conscious capitalism and living with meaning. You can catch our full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. We unpack: • What psychedelic insights can teach you about health and consciousness • How conscious capitalism can create “win-win-win” outcomes in your life • Steps you can take to break free from habits driving weight gain and poor health • Why building the right community accelerates your health journey • What living with purpose can do for your well-being at every stage of life This conversation reinforces a belief we both share: that true health comes from love, community, and a comprehensive approach.  View Show Notes From This Episode Get Free Weekly Health Tips from Dr. Hyman https://drhyman.com/pages/picks?utm_campaign=shownotes&utm_medium=banner&utm_source=podcast Sign Up for Dr. Hyman's Weekly Longevity Journal https://drhyman.com/pages/longevity?utm_campaign=shownotes&utm_medium=banner&utm_source=podcast Join the 10-Day Detox to Reset Your Health https://drhyman.com/pages/10-day-detox Join the Hyman Hive for Expert Support and Real Results https://drhyman.com/pages/hyman-hive This episode is brought to you by Seed, PerfectAmino, Function Health, BON CHARGE, Big Bold Health and Pique.

Jade, the co-founder and CEO of Dr. Glitter, tell us about her innovative nutrient crystals, a unique product format that combines the fun of edible glitter with iron and gut health supplements. The discussion covers the challenges of modern diets, the importance of iron, fiber, and probiotics, and the need for educating consumers about nutrition. Jade shares insights on the patenting process, the strategic move into the US market, and their retail collaboration with Urban Outfitters which is helping them get in front of Gen Z consumers. The conversation concludes with Jade's vision for a better world through empowering healthy living and the importance of thinking bigger as an entrepreneur.Takeaways:Dr. Glitter's Nutrient Crystals are a novel supplement format.The idea originated from a desire to make nutrition fun and appealing.Modern diets often lack essential nutrients, making supplements necessary.Iron is the #1 deficiency in the world, and is a significant global issue, especially among women.1 stick of Dr. Glitter is equivalent to the iron in 4 ounces of beef.Probiotics are crucial for gut health, but many struggle to consume them regularly.Consumer education takes time but is vital for driving consumer trial and retention.The patenting process is complex but essential for protecting innovations.Urban Outfitters provides a unique retail opportunity for Dr. Glitter.A better world means empowering people to live healthier and happier lives.Sound bites:“We are definitely the world's first. Patent Office has confirmed that.”"Whole foods are not enough [referring to declining nutrition content].”“We like to celebrate whole foods and make nutrition fun.”“The best advice I've been given is to not rush into retail.”“It's important to scale things that work and not scale any things that are not quite right yet.”“I think people should just think bigger, think longer term, be more patient, and the world would be a better place.”“We finally launched and then to our surprise, we went viral in the US. SnackShot picked us up and then three retailers reached out.”Links:Cynthia Duran on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jadediep/DrGlitter - https://drglitter.com/DrGlitter on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/drglitter/DrGlitter on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/drglitterhealth/DrGlitter on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drglitterhealthDrGlitter on TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@drglitter…Brands for a Better World Episode Archive - http://brandsforabetterworld.com/Brands for a Better World on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/brand-for-a-better-world/Modern Species - https://modernspecies.com/Modern Species on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/modern-species/Gage Mitchell on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/gagemitchell/…Print Magazine Design Podcasts - https://www.printmag.com/categories/printcast/…Heritage Radio Network - https://heritageradionetwork.org/Heritage Radio Network on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/heritage-radio-network/posts/Heritage Radio Network on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/HeritageRadioNetworkHeritage Radio Network on X - https://x.com/Heritage_RadioHeritage Radio Network on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/heritage_radio/Heritage Radio Network on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@heritage_radioChapters:03:00 Introduction to Dr. Glitter and Nutrient Crystals06:02 The Inspiration Behind Nutrient Crystals08:53 The Importance of Whole Foods and Nutrition11:44 Targeting Nutritional Deficiencies: Iron and Probiotics14:53 The Unique Manufacturing Process and Patent17:48 Education on Nutrient Absorption and Probiotic Effectiveness20:55 Addressing Sugar and Sweetener Concerns23:34 Market Trends and the Role of GLP-1 in Nutrition27:34 The Importance of Unflavored Supplements28:44 Patenting and Intellectual Property Strategy34:28 Navigating the Challenges of Patenting37:59 Expanding into the US Market42:55 Strategic Partnerships with Urban Outfitters47:18 Retail vs. Online Adoption50:46 Consumer Education and Retention Strategies54:40 Advice for Entrepreneurs56:59 Personal Touch: Favorite Ways to Use the Product60:07 Vision for a Better WorldSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, Chris Chavez and Preet Majithia dive into the biggest moments from the Silesia Diamond League, recap the NACAC Championships, break down more changes in world rankings, and lots more.Some of the top performances from Silesia include…- In her first 800m in over a year, Olympic champ Keely Hodgkinson picked up right where she left off, clocking a world-leading 1:54.74 to win by nearly two full seconds.- Faith Kipyegon took a strong crack at the highly-suspect world record in the 3000m, and while she fell just short of Wang Junxia's 1993 mark of 8:06.11, her 8:07.04 run was the second fastest performance in history.-Yared Nuguse won the 1500m in 3:33.19, claiming his fourth Diamond League 1500m victory and solidifying his spot in the final where he'll have a shot at a wild card entry to Worlds.-Kishane Thompson turned the tables on Noah Lyles in their first 100m matchup since the Paris Olympic final, leaning at the line to equal the 9.87 meet record, just ahead of Lyles's 9.90 in second. U.S. champ Kenny Bednarek took third in 9.96.-Proving her 10.65 at USAs was no fluke, Melissa Jefferson equaled the meet record with a commanding 10.66 100m victory over the likes of Tia Clayton (10.82) and Marie Ta Lou-Smith (10.87).-After a two-month break from the racing circuit, Karsten Warholm returned to action in STUNNING form, clocking a 46.28 Diamond League record to win the 400m hurdles in the third fastest mark of all time.Stay tuned for our Lausanne Diamond League recap + Brussels Diamond League preview on Wednesday!____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | ⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram + Preet Majithia | @preetmajithia on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr on InstagramMentioned in this episode…Watch: Kenny Bednarek Says He And Noah Lyles Are All Good After USAs Staredown And ShoveWatch: Silesia Diamond League interviewsListen: Emily Mackay On Qualifying For The World Championships, The Hunger For More And The Decision To Leave Team New Balance BostonListen: Jonah Koech On The Mindset, Belief To Win The U.S. 1500m Title + Previewing The 1500m In Tokyo____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Straight out of Bikini Bottom, Olipop's limited edition SpongeBob cans have arrived.

Allison Luvera and Lauren De Niro Pipher are the Co-Founders of Juliet Wine, where they're redefining boxed wine with award-winning California varietals and eco-conscious cylindrical packaging that challenges the category's decades-old perception. Allison is an award-winning brand builder with a dual BS in Finance and Marketing from Boston College, an MBA from The Wharton School, and WSET Level 2 Certification in Wine. She's also a founding member of the Alternative Packaging Alliance, a coalition of high-end boxed wine brands dedicated to advancing sustainable packaging in the wine industry. Lauren brings nearly two decades of sales, business development, investor relations, and design expertise from leading roles at Virgin Galactic, Uber, and Douglas Elliman, along with a BS in Culture & Communications from NYU and a Sustainability Certification from Cambridge University's Judge School of Business.Before launching Juliet, Allison built a career leading brand strategy, design, and storytelling for premium products, earning a reputation for transforming overlooked categories into high-value lifestyle experiences. Lauren honed her skills in building relationships, scaling sales, and translating brand vision into tangible growth. Together, they've created a brand that blends “affordable luxury” with modern consumer expectations and a design-first approach that stands apart from traditional boxed wine.In this episode, Allison and Lauren share how they spotted an opportunity to reimagine boxed wine, why they launched DTC first to prove product-market fit, and how they tested seven price points to find the sweet spot before expanding to retail. They also reveal how early customer data shaped their go-to-market strategy and helped secure high-quality retail partners who understood Juliet's unique value.In This Conversation We Discuss:[00:40] Intro[01:07] Highlighting sustainability as a core advantage[01:58] Reimagining a category for modern consumers[03:46] Meeting evolving consumer demands head-on[05:21] Sourcing partners to match product vision[06:55] Reframing consumer perceptions of boxed wine[09:03] Prototyping early to speed market entry[09:20] Testing multiple price points before scaling[11:47] Episode Sponsors: Electric Eye, Heatmap, Zamp[15:44] Adjusting pricing after early market feedback[17:33] Making decisions to drive progress forward[19:21] Proving product-market fit to win distributors[20:48] Proving demand before pitching big retailers[21:10] Meeting online customers where they are [22:38] Boosting AOV with strategic bundlesResources:Subscribe to Honest Ecommerce on YoutubeEco-friendly and delicious luxury boxed wine drinkjuliet.com/Follow Allison Luvera linkedin.com/in/allisonluveraFollow Lauren De Niro Pipher linkedin.com/in/iamldpSchedule an intro call with one of our experts electriceye.io/connectClear, real-time data built for ecommerce optimization heatmap.com/honestFully managed sales tax solution for Ecommerce brands zamp.com/honestIf you're enjoying the show, we'd love it if you left Honest Ecommerce a review on Apple Podcasts.

Welcome to Day 2 of your 5-Day Life Audit.This series is designed to help you pause, reflect, and realign with what truly matters — so you can move forward with clarity and intention.In today's episode, we're focusing on:

“It was just a matter of showing up and putting out whatever I had that day – and fair enough, that was my day! I don't know how it happened. I didn't expect to win. Nobody knew I was there, nobody was thinking about me. Even after the Rabat [Diamond League], I was shocked by myself!”A few months ago, Jonah Koech wasn't even supposed to be in the race. His Diamond League debut was meant to be an 800m in Rabat until a late field change bumped him out. The backup plan was to race the 1500m, an event where his personal best was 3:37.But that night in Morocco, Koech ran the race of his life, moving from 13th to 1st over the final lap, dropping a six second personal best of 3:31 and delivering one of the most improbable victories in Diamond League history. And if Rabat was the warning shot, then Eugene was the exclamation point at the U.S. Championships in just his seventh career 1500m as a pro.Koech closed in 12.49 seconds for the final 100m, nearly all of it in lane two, to win in a U.S. championship record of 3:30.17. He finished ahead of Ethan Strand and Olympic champion Cole Hocker. That's your team for the World Championships. Yared Nuguse missed the team, Hobbs Kessler missed the team. Jonah Koech did not. It's already been a winding road to get to this point, and in this episode, we talk all about it from growing up in Kenya, training alongside David Rudisha, the stops at UTEP and Texas Tech to U.S. citizenship through the Army service, injuries, a late career reinvention, and now heading to the world championships in the 1500m as a legit threat.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Jonah Koech | @jonah_koech on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠Mentioned in this episode…Watch: USATF Championships men's 1500m final____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Straight out of Bikini Bottom, Olipop's limited edition SpongeBob cans have arrived.

Welcome to Day 1 of your 5-Day Life Audit.This 5 day miniseries is designed to help you pause, reflect, and realign with what truly matters — so you can move forward with clarity and intention.In today's episode, we're focusing on:

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Meredith Mills-Merritt, Founder of The Original Southside, and this was such a fun and refreshing conversation, literally.  From the very first sip of her canned cocktail, I was blown away by how crisp, light, and perfectly balanced it tasted. What really struck me, though, was how much heart and thoughtfulness went into every detail of this brand, from the family recipe it was inspired by to the intentional choice of organic, clean ingredients. Meredith's journey is one of resilience, creativity, and considerable grit. Coming from a background in the beauty industry, she made the leap into the ultra-competitive world of ready-to-drink cocktails, despite having no prior experience in the beverage industry.   What she did bring was a deep love of ingredients, a family gin recipe, and the determination to create something better than what was on the shelf. In our conversation, she shares the highs, the hurdles, and the very personal wins that keep her pushing forward. Here are a few highlights from the episode: * How a friend choosing Southside as her wedding drink became a powerful reminder of why Meredith started the brand   * The family recipe origins behind The Original Southside and how Meredith perfected it for the can   * Why being Whole Foods–compliant was a non-negotiable from day one   * The unique challenges of breaking into the alcohol industry's three-tier distribution system   * Meredith's go-to strategies for building awareness, from real-life tastings to word-of-mouth advocacy   Join me, Ramon Vela, as I listen to the episode and get inspired by Meredith's journey of turning a family recipe into a modern, better-for-you cocktail brand.

“This year, with all the challenges and setbacks, gave me a lot of confidence in that I was still able to come out and deliver and make this team. I have a lot of confidence from experience and just knowing that no matter the circumstances, I'm able to stay focused and get the job done; just focus on myself and what I need to do to be the best runner I can be. That's where I draw my confidence from.”My guest for today's episode is Emily Mackay. In the 1500m, the margin between heartbreak and a ticket to the World Championships can be a lean, a lunge, or a fraction of a second. For Emily, it was the last 100m at Hayward Field, stride for stride with her former training partner Heather McLean, both fighting for the third and final spot to Tokyo. Mackay pulled ahead in that final stretch and stopped the clock at 4:04.38 for third place behind Nikki Hiltz and Sinclaire Johnson and secured her place on Team USA for Tokyo.It's been less than a year since Mackay qualified for her first Olympics — a breakout 2024 season that saw her win World Indoor bronze in Glasgow in the 1500. She went on to run 3:55 to move to #3 all time among Americans and stood on the podium at the U.S. Olympic trials. She also reached the semifinal of the 1500m at the Paris Olympics, but in the months since, She's navigated change and injury.She parted ways with Team New Balance Boston's training group during the outdoor season and is now coached by Pete Julian. She's still sponsored by New Balance while living in Boulder, Colorado. In this episode, we talk about the U.S. championships, the transition between training groups, and the confidence it takes to keep climbing in one of the most competitive eras of American distance running.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Emily Mackay | @emily_mac7 on Instagram Produced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠Mentioned in this episode…Watch: USATF Championships women's 1500m final____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Straight out of Bikini Bottom, Olipop's limited edition SpongeBob cans have arrived.

“Every year the top three resets. It doesn't matter what you did the previous year. If you need any more evidence than this 1500 final, then I don't know what to tell you. Everything is so cutthroat. Just getting on that top three was a big relief. I know that the big peak is coming in September, so I can live with this for now. Now I know where I'm at exactly.”My guest for today's episode is Cole Hocker, who is no stranger to championship moments. But even Olympic champions can go through droughts. Since winning gold in Paris last summer, Hocker hadn't claimed a single 1500 or mile final — 0-for-8 — in a year that's tested his patience, his poise, and his place in one of the most ruthless eras of middle-distance running.But in 2025, Hocker has also been focused on something new in taking on the 5000m. On Sunday, in the biggest 5K win of his career, he stormed down the Hayward Field homestretch to take the U.S. title in 13:26.45 — closing in 51.76 for the last lap, 25.69 for the final 200, and outkicking Olympic bronze medalist Grant Fisher and U.S. 10,000 champ Nico Young to punch his ticket to the World Championships in Tokyo.It wasn't flashy. It wasn't record-breaking. It was tactical execution — Hocker biding his time, slipping to fifth with 200 to go, and trusting that if the race came down to pure speed, he'd have the last word. And he did.With that win, the double dream is alive: Hocker will line up in both the 1500 and the 5000 at Worlds — just as he set out to do at the start of the year. He's stronger than last season, more confident than ever, and ready to see if that closing gear can stand up to the world's best in Tokyo.We talk about what it took to win this one, the mental discipline to ride out the noise of a long season while also focusing on the double, and why patience—even for an Olympic champion—combined with his supreme confidence makes him one of the most dangerous racers in the world.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠⁠Guest: Cole Hocker | @colehocker on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠Mentioned in this episode…Watch: ⁠USATF Championships men's 5000m final⁠Watch: USATF Championships men's 1500m final____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Straight out of Bikini Bottom, Olipop's limited edition SpongeBob cans have arrived.

“I thought I had missed my moment last year. I didn't want that to define me, but I didn't want to put way too much pressure on this year, because it wasn't going to make up for last year. It was really hard. But in the last month, I said, ‘We're going to go for it. We're going to put our ego to the side and see what happens.'”Sage Hurta-Klecker knows heartbreak. In her first U.S. Championships in 2021, she fell and broke her wrist. In 2023, she finished a painful fourth in the 800m, just one spot shy of making the team. Last year, she was fifth after getting tangled in the ripple effects of a fall by Athing Mu. Even indoors this year, she was again one place away from qualifying for a world championship team.But this past weekend at Hayward Field, Hurta-Klecker rewrote the script. Charging down the final straight in the women's 800, she leaned hard for the finish line and went down hard after crossing it. She stopped the clock at 1:59.48 to edge out 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials champion Nia Akins by just four hundredth of a second.This time, the fall didn't mean heartbreak; it meant joy, it meant redemption, and finally, it meant her first U.S. team and a ticket to the World Championships. “Don't let your narrative of the past limit your future,” she wrote afterward on Instagram. Sage did not, and now she's heading to Tokyo. We talk all about that race, the shortcomings along the way, and the overwhelming sense of relief to finally make a team.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Sage Hurta-Klecker | @hurtasage on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠Mentioned in this episode…Watch: USATF Championships Women's 800m final____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Straight out of Bikini Bottom, Olipop's limited edition SpongeBob cans have arrived.

“The other part is that he loves it. He doesn't miss. A ton of people are—to be cliche—talented, but they don't do the things to maximize their talent. So how is he there? Because he's doing everything to at least give him the chance to maximize his talent. Do we know it's going to be 1:42? No, we don't know that. We have no clue what it is… He's doing the things it takes to see how good he can be—and he loves finding out what that looks like.”My guest for today's episode is Chris Capeau, the coach behind one of the most remarkable performances in American track history. As the head distance coach at Northwest High School in Texas, Capeau found success with his middle distance programs. Even before that at other Texas high schools, he was a bit of a journeyman in coaching at various universities and learning from other accomplished coaches in the sport.But this summer, the spotlight found him after 16-year-old Cooper Lutkenhaus stunned the track world with a 1:42.27 in the men's 800m at the U.S. Championships. That time was a three second PR, a new U18 world record, the fastest time ever run by a high schooler, and the fourth fastest time by an American ever. More than that, it earned Lutkenhaus a spot on Team USA for the World Championships in Tokyo, making him the youngest man in history to compete at a global outdoor championships. It was a moment that defied logic, but it didn't happen by accident.Capeau has been building upon a strong foundation established by Cooper's parents. A former NAIA marathon standout and collegiate coach with deep experience in building programs, Capeau brings a thoughtful athlete-centered approach that prioritizes trust, patience, and long term development. That philosophy has now helped produce a once in a generation talent and has rewritten what we thought was possible for high school middle distance running.This conversation pairs well with our previous episode with Cooper. You can find it here. In this one, we try to make even more sense of the performance by speaking to the man who worked on making it happen day in and day out._____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠⁠Guest: Coach Chris CapeauProduced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠Mentioned in this episode…Listen: Cooper Lutkenhaus Breaks Down His 1:42.27 800m At 16 Years Old To Make History, Qualifies For The 2025 World Championships + Goals For TokyoWatch: ⁠USATF Championships Men's 800m final⁠_____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Straight out of Bikini Bottom, Olipop's limited edition SpongeBob cans have arrived.

“With 200 to go, I felt really strong. I wasn't really burning yet. With about 120 to go coming off the curve, I saw everybody right there. I was like, ‘I feel amazing!' The crowd all stood up and it was super electric. I was like, ‘I have a shot now.'”My guest for today's episode is Cooper Lutkenhaus, the 16-year-old Texan who just ran one of the most astonishing races in American track and field history at the U.S. Championships in Eugene, Oregon. Cooper placed second in the men's 800m in 1:42.27 — a U18 world record, a three second personal best, and the fourth fastest time ever run by an American. He finished just behind Donovan Brazier, the former world champion who made his own remarkable comeback. Cooper was in 7th place with 150m to go. He stayed calm, executed his race plan, and closed in a blistering 12.48 seconds over the final 100m, surging into second and nearly catching Donovan Brazier at the finish line. This was a performance that defied age, experience, and expectations, and announced Cooper as the future of American middle distance running.In this episode, we get into it and try to answer the main question: how did this happen and who is Cooper? It wasn't just a great race for a high schooler; it was a great race, period._____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Cooper Lutkenhaus | @cooper.lutkenhaus on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠Mentioned in this episode…Watch: USATF Championships Men's 800m final_____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Straight out of Bikini Bottom, Olipop's limited edition SpongeBob cans have arrived.

“The biggest mindset coming off of Paris was that because I had made the biggest final there is, it was a message to me that no matter who's on the track, you deserve a lane. I belong here and I've proven myself. That message was definitely something that I carried into my senior year: just knowing that I belong here. That was very powerful for me.”My guest for today's episode is Savannah Sutherland, a 21 year old Canadian hurdler who just made history in more ways than one, hailing from Borden, Saskatchewan. Savannah was named a finalist for the Bowerman, which is the highest honor in NCAA track and field, awarded annually to the most outstanding collegiate athletes in the sport.She's the first Canadian female track athlete to ever reach the finalist status. I recently made an appearance on the CBC's Trackside show where I revealed that as a Bowerman voter, I already casted my vote. Savannah was ranked #1 for me.She put together a jaw-dropping season at Michigan. She didn't just win her second NCAA title in the 400m hurdles, but she obliterated the NCAA record too with a time of 52.46 seconds, becoming the second woman in NCAA history to go under 53 seconds. The record that she broke previously belonged to Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone.Savannah broke her own Canadian record, climbed to the 9th fastest of all time, and last year she even took 7th place in the Olympic final in Paris. In this episode, we chat about how she got so good at this event, her hopes and expectations for this summer's World Championships in Tokyo, and so much more.Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠@chris_j_chavez on InstagramGuest: Savannah Sutherland | @sav.sutherland on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Straight out of Bikini Bottom, Olipop's limited edition SpongeBob cans have arrived.
