    How a CPG Founder Built a Clean Protein Bar—Backed by an NBA Champion | Retail lessons on brand, growth & integrity with George Goodwin, 4th Gen Grocer & CPG Founder | GroceryPulse Podcast

    In this episode of GroceryPulse, host George Goodwin sits down with Jacqueline Smith, Founder & CEO of E3 Energy Cubes—a Utah-based, woman-owned protein bar brand on a mission to “change the flavor of healthy.” Jacqueline shares how an accountant’s mindset (yes—math) helped her build a better-for-you bar with balanced macros (fats, carbs, protein), clean ingredients, and flavor that actually hits. You’ll hear how E3 went from a commercial kitchen concept to manufacturing in-house, why the bar is shaped into three shareable cubes, and how Jacqueline landed 2x NBA Champion Norris Cole as an early investor after a wild “I don’t know why I’m here… oh THAT’S why” moment. The conversation also dives into real founder realities: ingredient sourcing, label transparency (including seed oil nuances in dried fruit), the cashflow math of CPG, packaging lessons (why black looked amazing online but disappeared in-store), and what it takes to keep going when you’re exhausted—but the mission is bigger than you.

    How the Founder of UGG Built a Billion-Dollar Global Brand- Brian Smith on The Birth of a Brand, Retail Lessons & More | Interview by George Goodwin, 4th Gen Grocer, CPG Founder | GroceryPulse Podcast

    In this episode of GroceryPulse, host George Goodwin sits down with Brian Smith, founder of UGG and author of The Birth of a Brand. Brian shares how UGG started from six pairs of sheepskin surf boots and grew into a global, billion-dollar brand — and why that journey had far more struggle than overnight success. He explains how brand building is less about logos and trademarks, and more about what consumers feel and say about you, how he accidentally created a cult following among young surfers, and why you “can’t give birth to an adult” when it comes to growing a business. From surf culture and snowboarding to hockey moms and keynote stages, Brian unpacks a lifetime of lessons in entrepreneurship, storytelling, and staying authentic. Chapters: 00:00 – The Journey BeginsFrom accountant to surfer to entrepreneur: Brian’s leap from Australia to California in search of “the next big thing.” 02:57 – The Birth of UGGSpotting the market gap: why sheepskin surf boots didn’t exist in America and what Brian saw that others didn’t. 06:03 – Early Sales Reality CheckFrom “we’re going to be instant millionaires” to selling just 28 pairs in the first season. 09:09 – You Can’t Give Birth to an AdultThe “infant → toddler → youth → teenager” framework for business growth. 12:12 – Authenticity in MarketingWhy polished beach model ads failed — and how real surfers in real moments changed everything. 14:54 – Community & Influencers Before It Was CoolHow early surf influencers helped create a cult around UGGs almost 50 years before “influencer marketing” was a term. 17:46 – Emotional Branding & BelongingWhy kids begged their moms for UGGs and how emotion, not logic, drives most purchasing decisions. 21:09 – Navigating Entrepreneurial ChallengesFaith, resilience, and the mental game of not quitting when everything looks like it’s failing. 24:00 – Product Awareness & EducationTeaching staff and customers what a product does so it stops collecting dust on shelves. 26:55 – Lasting Brand StrategyBuilding something that survives trends and fads by focusing on quality, consistency, and availability. 32:35 – The Power of Experience in SalesGetting buyers to try the product — and how one store owner trying on a boot changed everything. 34:57 – Milestones in Brand BuildingFrom surf shops to ski shops to hockey culture — and finally into major retailers. 37:50 – Turning Skepticism into DemandWhen big retailers finally came calling after specialty shops created enough pull. 41:53 – Creating Consumer ExperiencesSampling, demos, and why the experience around the product becomes part of the brand. 46:12 – Reflections on Selling UGGWhy the joy was in the journey and what it felt like to “walk his daughter down the aisle” and hand UGG off. 50:05 – Becoming a Global Keynote SpeakerHow Brian transitioned from founder to storyteller, helping entrepreneurs avoid common pitfalls and stay the course.
