“Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don’t recognize them.” – Ann Landers Can you imagine auditioning for Shark Tank while 9 months pregnant? 😲 Allison Ellsworth is the Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer of Poppi: a delicious, better-for-you soda made with clean ingredients – and one of the world’s fastest growing brands. The dream began when Allison was in the corporate world, where long days on the road led to a variety of health issues. After discovering the benefits of apple cider vinegar, and experimenting with different recipes in her kitchen, Poppi was born. From local farmers markets to a Shark Tank deal, then retailers nationwide, Poppi quickly became one of the fastest-growing beverages in the US. Today, Poppi is the #1 selling soda on Amazon, with a viral TikTok account boasting 2 billion views. Their celebrity fans include Billie Eilish, Russell Westbrook, Jennifer Lopez, and many more. I’ve been a big fan of Poppi since they first launched and they deserve all their success. In this episode: • How Allison went from struggling with her health to leading the expansion of one of the fastest growing brands in the world. • The best mindset and business tips for any entrepreneur who wants to get to their next level. • How Allison and her husband Stephen balance family as their careers skyrocket. • What it’s like to successfully audition on Shark Tank while nine months pregnant.
