Today, I'm talking with Ryan Pamplin, Co-Founder and CEO of BlendJet® — the fastest-growing blender brand in the world.

While Ryan has a long track record of success building startups, this one is completely knocking it out of the park. The fully bootstrapped company was launched in 2018 and, within 4 years, became a 9-figure business serving more than 5 million customers.

In today's episode, Ryan shares the company's origin story and how a freak accident shifted his priorities and motivated him to create something that would inspire people to live longer and healthier lives. The BlendJet® was born, turning a household appliance into a category king and giving the fast-food industry a run for its money.

You'll hear us talk about finding product-market fit, bootstrapping vs. raising money, valuations, preparing for acquisition deals, and more.
