The Grodega Podcast

Welcome to Grovara – The Leading Global B2B Wholesale Marketplace!This GroDega episode starts with a hard sell: sipping vinegar. Peter and the team crack open Salute Sippers, a vinegar shot brand in flavors like blueberry lavender and raspberry hibiscus, and give their unfiltered reaction on camera. The packaging gets credit. The taste gets… a very different reaction.Then Penn wrestler and Grovara intern Max Stein jumps in for a Rap Snacks review, focusing on the Migos sour cream and onion chips. The group breaks down the smell, the sweetness, the ranch note, and whether this is actually something they would buy again.From there, the episode widens into strategy. Peter explains how Grovara has moved beyond food and beverage into new verticals, including pet products, then brings back G-Man, now sounding a little different, to talk through global middle-class growth and why rising incomes often lead to higher pet ownership and more spending on pet wellness.That sets up the final product spotlight: Pet Cultures, now on the platform with supplements for skin and coat, hip and joint, and dog probiotics. Peter opens the bag, reacts to the smell, and makes the case for why pet health is a serious growth category inside Grovara’s broader expansion.If you like taste tests, CPG strategy, AI demos, and seeing where Grovara is headed next, this episode is worth the watch.Chapters:00:00 Cold open, G-Woman joke, and vinegar shot setup00:37 Salute Sippers sipping vinegar taste test04:05 Max Stein joins for the Rap Snacks review04:45 Migos sour cream and onion chips, the smell, sweetness, and ranch debate07:20 Why Grovara is expanding beyond food and beverage08:32 G-Man returns, middle-class growth, and the pet ownership thesis11:36 Pet Cultures unboxing: skin and coat, hip and joint, and dog probioticsGrovara is revolutionizing the way better-for-you (BFY) brands, Consumer Packaged Goods (CPGs), and international buyers connect, transact, and scale.

Welcome to Grovara – The Leading Global B2B Wholesale Marketplace! This episode flips the usual GroDega format and goes to the buyer side. Peter sits down with Zach from Cedar Market Company, a family-run convenience store group with 15 to 20 stores near Atlantic City, to talk about what it is actually like buying through Grovara, using the app, browsing the catalog, and finding winning products for retail shelves. Then the conversation locks in on one of Cedar Market’s strongest categories: Pokémon cards. Zach explains why Pokémon keeps moving, how set allocation works, how to tell Twilight Masquerade from Stellar Crown, and why release dates and packaging rules matter so much in the Pokémon ecosystem. The episode also gets into the downside of a hot category, including theft risk, break-ins at card shops, and why secure transportation matters when sealed product can be as valuable as cash. From there, the team opens a Costco-exclusive Prismatic Evolutions bundle, chases Eevee cards, explains what makes a pull valuable, and immediately hits an Umbreon ex promo that “pays for the whole box.” They also walk through pack-opening technique, full art versus half art, Poké Ball and Master Ball variants, and the idea of a “god pack.” The episode wraps with more Cedar family business history, how one brother left medical school to come back into the business, and a quick but powerful weight-loss conversation about getting healthy for family and kids. If you are into Pokémon TCG, convenience retail, family businesses, collectibles, or how Grovara works with real buyers in the field, this one is worth the watch. Chapters: 00:36 Meet Cedar Market, a Grovara buyer from Atlantic City 03:40 Why Pokémon is Cedar Market’s top seller 06:08 Card shop robberies, theft risk, and secure Pokémon inventory 07:01 Costco-exclusive Prismatic Evolutions box break begins 10:59 Massive Umbreon ex pull, “you paid for the whole box” 11:49 Cedar family business story, medical school pivot, and Atlantic City stores 15:49 Pack-opening tips, rare card types, Master Ball hits, and what makes a pull valuable Grovara is revolutionizing the way better-for-you (BFY) brands, Consumer Packaged Goods (CPGs), and international buyers connect, transact, and scale.

Welcome to Grovara – The Leading Global B2B Wholesale Marketplace!What if you could install the Grovara platform on your phone, get push notifications, manage chats and orders on the go, and skip the App Store entirely?In this episode of the GroDega Podcast, the team starts with a live Hello Water taste test, featuring the cucumber lime flavor. Despite not being a flavored water fan, Peter ends up loving the drink, calling it refreshing, spa-like, and just sweet enough, with zero sugar, prebiotic plant fiber, and strong everyday appeal.Then the episode shifts into a practical walkthrough of the Grovara mobile app experience. Peter explains why Grovara did not launch through the Apple App Store or Google Play, pointing to high app store fees that could have pushed prices 30% to 50% higher for end users. Instead, Grovara launched a PWA, or Progressive Web App, which installs directly from the browser and still supports push notifications, chat, order visibility, and mobile-first functionality.You’ll see:how to install the Grovara app on Chromehow to add it manually on Safarihow to enable push notificationswhich notification settings matter most for orders and chatswhy the mobile version is useful for fast responses when you are away from your deskIf you use Grovara and want the fastest way to stay on top of your account, orders, and conversations, this is the setup guide to watch.Chapters:00:00 First reaction: Hello Water tastes “like a spa” 00:38 Honest flavored water disclaimer + Hello Water setup 01:07 Cucumber lime, zero sugar, and why Hello Water stands out 01:37 Why Grovara launched a PWA instead of using app stores 03:53 How to install the Grovara app on Chrome 05:00 Push notifications: what to enable for orders and chats 06:38 How to install the Grovara app on Safari + mobile wrap-upGrovara is revolutionizing the way better-for-you (BFY) brands, Consumer Packaged Goods (CPGs), and international buyers connect, transact, and scale.

Welcome to Grovara – The Leading Global B2B Wholesale Marketplace!Today’s GroDega episode starts sweet, then turns painfully hot. Peter Groverman taste tests three agave products from Chantico Organic Raw Agave, including natural agave, wild agave, and a hot agave made with organic arbol chili. The raw agave gets high marks, the wild agave gets pitched as a great topping, and the hot agave absolutely lights him up on camera.Then the episode shifts into Pokémon. After collecting cards from the Twilight Masquerade series for months, Peter walks through how he started grading and sealing cards himself. He explains what makes a card authentic, how thickness and centering are checked, what corners and surface condition matter most, and why some misprints have become collectible in their own right.From there, he opens up a Mint hobby case, selects a Kieran full art card, seals it into a magnetic slab with a numbered Scout hologram, and officially mints it for auction. The goal is simple: turn these graded cards into fundraising pieces for Rip for Relief, with proceeds going to The Relief Foundation.If you are into Pokémon cards, card grading, collectible auctions, or just want to watch someone underestimate hot agave in real time, this one is for you.Chapters:00:27 Chantico agave sponsor intro, natural, hot, and wild agave taste test01:58 Natural agave review, sweetener breakdown and calories02:36 Hot agave reaction, organic arbol chili chaos on camera04:26 Why Peter started grading his own Pokemon cards05:41 How Pokemon card grading works, thickness, corners, centering, and misprints08:41 Picking the Kieran full art card and sealing the slab10:11 Scout hologram, certificate, and charity auction plan for Rip for Relief11:25 Final warning, do not try the hot agave on camera without waterGrovara is revolutionizing the way better-for-you (BFY) brands, Consumer Packaged Goods (CPGs), and international buyers connect, transact, and scale.

Welcome to Grovara – The Leading Global B2B Wholesale Marketplace!Blue Diamond almonds, AR smart glasses, and a country that just banned social media for anyone under 16, this episode covers a lot.Peter Groverman kicks things off with a salty snack break, doing a live taste test of Blue Diamond Bold Salt & Vinegar Almonds with Tanya, a Grovara team member from India, and chatting about independence, moving to the US, and discovering new flavors.Then the conversation shifts to Australia’s decision to outlaw social media for anyone under 16, how that impacts young creators, and what it means for parents who invested in their kids’ content careers. Peter questions how this will be enforced, what happens to monetized accounts, and whether other countries may follow this path.From there, Peter reveals Grovara’s new venture into smart glasses through Grovara Electronics LLC, including a major collaboration with Von Dutch for audio enabled eyewear and future AR experiences. He explains how these G Glasses work today for music and calls, and how the team is building toward an AR gaming layer where wearers can see floating avatars and interact in real time.The big question, especially with moves like Australia’s, is this, when AR glasses create shared digital worlds, is that social media or gaming, and who decides where the line is. Peter talks through those questions and what they could mean for the next generation of connected products.Chapters:0:30 -  Taste Test Tuesday: Blue Diamond Almonds2:45 - Australia's Social Media Ban4:10 - New Grovara G-Glasses x Von DutchGrovara is revolutionizing the way better-for-you (BFY) brands, Consumer Packaged Goods (CPGs), and international buyers connect, transact, and scale.
