Today's guest is Hayden Fulstone, a co-founder of the massively popular brand, Liquid I.V. It's a consumer beverage company with their hydration multiplier being sold now in of 20,000 stores. I'm excited about this episode because it's really the first one that dives deep into a lot of the processes involved in launching a physical product startup. We talk about getting investors, testing the product, going from idea to creation, and some marketing and sales tactics. We also talk about Liquid I.V.'s giveback mission and how they've baked that into their company from the start and are on track to donate over 300,000 servings of their hydration multiplier worldwide this year.

Plus, Hayden's a cool dude, and super smart.
