This week’s Bite-sized Screw It Just DO It episode features a standout moment from my conversation with Al Barratt, the force behind Grenade. We cut straight into the bit where it all started to scale. Al shares how he moved Grenade from a niche protein shake brand into the UK’s best-selling snack bar. He didn’t throw money at it. He focused on brand equity, shelf space, and getting the timing right. If you’re looking to take your product out of a niche and into the mainstream, this episode will give you the blueprint.

Key Takeaways:

• Why staying in a niche can limit your growth
• How brand visibility and physical presence still matter
• The importance of timing and adapting to consumer trends
• What Grenade did differently to outperform major brands
