125. Hire the Right Team to Scale Your CPG Brand With Josh Wand, ForceBrands

125. Hiring the wrong person can stall your CPG growth—or burn through precious runway fast. If you're unsure when to hire, who to hire, or how to avoid an expensive mistake, this episode is for you. In this conversation, I sit down with Josh Wand of ForceBrands to unpack one of the biggest founder pain points: building the right team at the right stage. We discuss org design, identifying blind spots, hiring for growth phases, and why cultural fit often matters more than a resume. You'll learn how to align hiring with your business plan, how compensation and benefits are evolving in natural CPG, and how to attract top talent without overpaying. If you want to scale sustainably, protect your cash, and build a team that fuels growth instead of friction, this is a must-listen. Get instant access on the show webpage: RetailSolved.com/session125
