232. Founder Stories: PSquared - Morgan Rucker and Olivia Stevermer
Description
Launching a CPG brand is never easy—but talking with Morgan Rucker and Olivia Stevermer of PSquared Foods reminded me just how rewarding the journey can be. In this episode, I sat down with them to hear the full story behind their shelf-stable, banana-flavored protein pudding in a spouted pouch—from awkward picnic samplings and 80+ product iterations to the uphill battle of finding a manufacturer and scaling a format that’s often dismissed as “just for kids.”
We talked about how they went from solo kitchen experiments in college to co-founders building a brand rooted in purpose, flavor, and community. You’ll hear insights on formulation, shelf-stability, and how they’re building customer excitement from the ground up.
