In today’s episode, I’m joined by Ian Timmons and Billy Knox, founders of Beefy, and one of my favorite new snacks—featured in our Winter Foodbevy Insider Box.
We talk about:
- what went wrong (and right) in early R&D
- the complexity of manufacturing and scaling a brand-new product format
- the GTM strategy that got Beefy their early traction
- where they’re headed next as they expand beyond DTC
