from The Big Dawgs: with Manning Sumner · host Manning Sumner

Kevin, the creator behind Snack Eating Snacks and founder of Mood Up, joins Manning Sumner on The Big Dawgs Podcast to talk about leaving ESPN, building a loyal online community, launching a better-for-you chocolate milk brand, and why true influence is about more than views.In this episode, Kevin shares how one food review video changed his path, how he built Mood Up from his own love for chocolate milk, and why community, consistency, and authenticity matter more than chasing viral moments.Manning and Kevin also dive into the realities of CPG, bootstrapping a brand, product development, influencer marketing, partnerships, and the importance of staying patient while the seeds of a brand continue to grow.This is a conversation about entrepreneurship, content, nostalgia, community, and what it really means to take no days off on yourself.Follow Kevin:@snackeatingsnacks@moodupmilkHosted by Manning SumnerPresented by The Big Dawgs PodcastFollow THE BIG DAWGS podcasthttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-big-dawgs-with-manning-sumner/id1667127648https://open.spotify.com/show/4yJuvkdFdVChIdW0wdCm18?si=90ae60d43d2746e3___________________Follow Manning SumnerInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/manningsumner/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/manningsumnerTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@manningsumnerTwitter: https://www.x.com/manningsumnerNO DAYS OFF: https://www.instagram.com/nodaysoff/_______________Follow NO DAYS OFF Premium WaterWebsite: https://www.drinkndo.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drinknodaysoff/_______________LEGACY GYMWebsite: https://legacyfit.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/legacynodaysoff/?hl=enNO DAYS OFF® is never taking a day off on you.#BigDawgsPodcast #ManningSumner #Moo'dUp #Miami #NoDaysOff #ChocolateMilk #Entrepreneurship #kevinEscalera
