John Laun, CMO of Earthbar, joins Zack Oates to share how a wellness brand with roots in the 1970s is scaling nationally while keeping guest experience front and center. With over 60 locations and a strong partnership with Equinox, Earthbar focuses on energy, consistency, and culture to make every visit the best part of a guest’s day.

Zack and John discuss:

  • How Earthbar grew from supplements to smoothies to 60+ stores
  • Why “energy” is a core value for team members
  • Using real-time feedback to recover service instantly
  • Why happy guests are the brand’s best marketers
  • How AI serves as a trusted advisor for growth

Thanks, John!
