The Power Of A Brand Autopsy with Tyler Merrick, Founder at Project 7 The Physical Product Movement

    • Entrepreneurship

In this episode of the Physical Product Movement Podcast, we’re joined by Tyler Merrick, Founder of Project 7, a brand with a social mission to fund critical areas of need... such as hunger, clean drinking water, and shelter through their keto-friendly plant-based candies and delicious gummies. Tyler uncovered his experience from "knocking it out of the park" with a pet care business he started in his twenties. Tyler then moved from that business to launch the more socially motivated brand: Project 7. Tyler talks about his brand's near-death experience and how he was able to perform a brand autopsy to figure out how to revive it, which meant reducing the number of SKUs offered to allow him to focus on a single product. In addition, Tyler shares some important lessons learned the hard way from relying too much on brick and mortar sales and how COVID reinforced that experience.
