Daniel Goetz's journey to creating GOODPOP began during a college class when he found himself sketching a logo and flavors, driven by a vision to build a company centered on doing good. Though uncertain of the path ahead, Daniel aspired to pursue a career after graduation that would fulfill his passion in social impact. Little did he know that this classroom doodle would eventually become the foundation of GOODPOP.
In a recent conversation, Sonya Gafsi Oblisk, Chief Merchandising and Marketing Officer at Whole Foods Market, sat down with Daniel Goetz, the founder of GOODPOP. They discussed the significant milestones and challenges involved in building a CPG frozen treat brand that now generates around $60 million in annual gross sales - all achieved without outside investors.
During the episode, Daniel shared several key pieces of advice for aspiring entrepreneurs:
- Focus on building deeper relationships rather than wider.
- Establish a secondary goal for your brand that aligns with a personal passion.
- Strive to embody the qualities of a non-anxious leader.
