⚡ Growth Capital Podcast - Episode 52 ⚡
In crowded markets, being “better” isn’t enough — you have to be different.
In this episode, Otherwise Brewing Co-Founder and CEO Aaron Gervais joins host Justin Dixon to unpack how he built one of the only gluten-free beer brands in the U.S. — and turned a small niche into a scalable business opportunity.
Aaron shares how he identified a white space in a saturated industry, found the right co-founder to complement his strengths, and built a company rooted in process, not just passion. From product-market fit to operational discipline, this conversation reveals why differentiation is the real growth engine behind enduring brands.
🔍 What You’ll Learn:
- Why differentiation matters more than competition
- How to find (and validate) white space in mature markets
