    Work Hard, Play Hard with Chris Gronkowski

    Work Hard, Play Hard with Chris Gronkowski

    Chris Gronkowski comes from the “Gronk” family clan which brings to mind an athletic acumen, grueling workouts along with a party hard reputation. Vanity Fair called his family “America’s first family of jocks.”



    His company, Ice Shaker, offers an insulated, spill-proof, stainless-steel cup for the reusable bot­tle market. He secured Before appearing on "Shark Tank," Ice Shaker bottles were only available in a 26 oz bottle, per its website. The company has since expanded to over 140 bottle selections, selling tumblers, jugs, and sports bottles in a variety of sizes.



    Guest Shark Alex Rodriguez and Mark Cuban both invested into Ice Shaker, where Rob Gronkowski later bought Rodriguez's stock in the company as it was thriving from their expansion into retail in The Vitamin Shoppe, GNC, and Lifetime Fitness locations.



    Chris co-owns three businesses with his four brothers: InSite Media Services, which manages Rob’s brand and nego­tiates all his sponsor deals; Gronk Bus, which leases two party buses in the Bos­ton area; and Gronk Nation, an online promotional vehicle for the family.

    He focuses on applying strategies from football and applying them towards business on a daily basis. He spends alot of time learning from past experiences and successes to make the ice shaker successful.



    Some takeaways are:

    Taking success from on the field to off the field and translating it to business strategies.

    Sports teaches you how to be smart and com­petitive, how to lose together and then rebuild and win together

Informative Podcast with Unique Perspectives

I’m really enjoying One Question XYZ. The perspectives are quite varied compared to your normal business/marketing/entrepreneurship podcasts. I’m enjoying hearing the stories of those still in the early to middle stages of building their business.
