“The best way to predict the future is to create it.” — Peter Drucker

As a passionate runner, Kurt had a huge lightbulb moment when knee discomfort threatened to put him on the sidelines. Kurt vowed to find a solution, and his research led him to understand the benefits of ingestible collagen that has been linked to healthy hair, skin, nails and joints.
Since 2013, Vital Proteins has been empowering others to find wellness, and recently enlisted Jennifer Aniston as its Chief Creative Officer.
Kurt’s passion for health and fitness – and his ambition to help others live fuller, more vibrant lives – became the core of the Vital Proteins brand, and ultimately, the company’s mission.
In this episode, we’re going to talk with Kurt about:
How his aerospace engineering background taught him to solve complex problems
The most important steps that gave his company massive traction from day one
What he did to recruit personalities like Jennifer Aniston to the brand; and
How he built Vital Proteins into a billion-dollar company within six years.
