What does it actually take to scale a consumer brand without outside investors?In this episode, Dan Crosby shares a behind-the-scenes look at what's happening across BioSteel and Canadian Protein—from the successful launch of Hydration MAX to the operational challenges that come with manufacturing, retail expansion, and managing cash flow in a rapidly growing business.The conversation covers why outsourcing production didn't go as planned, the decision to bring manufacturing back in-house, and the realities of funding growth in a business that's been completely bootstrapped from day one.Dan also reflects on some of the biggest lessons from the past year, including trying to grow too aggressively, balancing multiple sales channels, and why Canadian Protein is shifting its focus back to the fundamentals: keeping products in stock, launching meaningful innovation, improving customer acquisition, and strengthening Amazon and direct-to-consumer sales.
