Episode 2: The dirty details of owning a successful brand with Ryan Meegan, CMO @ DUDE Wipes Question Everything

Ryan Meegan grew up in the south suburbs of Chicago before attending college where he earned a degree in marketing – as well as earning major respect as a basketball player. Now, he applies his sports mindset at the office as the CMO and co-founder of DUDE Wipes: a male-targeted flushable wipe company.
The coolest part? Ryan and his fellow Dudes earned a $300,000 investment from Mark Cuban on Shark Tank. After years and years of exponential growth, DUDE Wipes has officially hired its first agency ... which is why he's sitting down with us today.
On today’s episode of Question Everything, I’m sitting down with Ryan Meegan as we have a conversation about authenticity and staying true to yourself and your brand.
