You’ll hear me lovingly describe Caroline Levy as someone that confidently dances to the beat of their own drum, but what I was referring to was my belief that the most successful people in business have conviction when others don't. Because don’t get it twisted…building conviction isn’t for the faint of heart. Yet, those courageous enough to go through the journey will find that if it’s coupled with passion…the result is electrifying. That statement I think perfectly quantifies Caroline Levy’s renowned career as one of the top equity analysts in the consumer space, trusted board member of brands like CELSIUS Holdings, Health-Ade, and Athletic Brewing, and overall strategic thinker that’s uncovered key consumer trends well before they became mainstream. Sounds right up my alley, right? So, I knew our conversation was going to be electric, but it honestly even exceeded my lofty expectations. Despite covering a ton of categorical ground in a relatively short amount of time…you can expect of deep conversation that spans from the dynamic energy drinks market to the emerging gut health functional beverage space…and even the disruptive non-alcoholic beer category. Moreover, we share our thoughts on why CPG brands should be focusing more on delivering value over volume. Finally, Caroline and I put on our economist hats…look into our CPG crystal balls and share some thoughts around the near-term outlook for beverage deals. But those are just some of the interesting topics we talked about in this episode...
