In this episode I am joined by Woodie Hillyard, Co-Founder and CEO of W, co-founded by Jake Paul, a disruptive personal care brand redefining men’s grooming. Launched nationally in Walmart in June 2024, W broke records by becoming Walmart’s best launch in its Emerging Brands category, surpassing seven figures in its first month. With influencer-driven campaigns and accessible pricing, W is revolutionizing body care with products like body sprays, washes, and hair care essentials, aiming to hit $50M in its first year.
