That’s the wrong question for entrepreneurs.Plus, Stephen plays the Newlywed game, TBOY-style.In this live interview from State Theater in Austin, we discuss the Ellsworth’s full-circle moment: They got a deal on shark tank, grew Poppi’s stock 100,000%, then came back to Shark Tank… as Sharks.In this interview, you’ll hear how Allison and Stephen design a business based on vibes, why the marketing metrics don’t matter, how distribution is destiny… and why you celebrate the wins in Italy.It’s one part TBOY hangout, one part couples counseling, and we had so much fun on-stage with them, Jack even stole their drinks.NEWSLETTER:https://tboypod.com/newsletter OUR 2ND SHOW:Want more business storytelling from us?
