    #232 - 2026 Brand Resolutions

    Host Daniel Scharff interviews Rebecca Styn of Blind Tiger Spirit Free Cocktails, Dava Guthmiller of A Dash of, and Andrew Schundler of CH Matcha about their 2026 brand resolutions. Rebecca resolves to eliminate noise by saying no to unaligned opportunities like expensive celebrity gifting, focusing instead on strategic regional growth. Dava aims to step into the spotlight by sharing her personal story and passion for salt terroir to build authenticity, rather than just curating others' products. Andrew plans to double down on retail execution and in-person tastings for his canned matcha brand, learning from early data to avoid stretching the business too thin.

    078: Selling Products Direct to End-Users via Shopify

    Tom Patterson, founder of WKND Digital and multiple e-commerce brands, explains why hardware startups should prioritize direct-to-consumer sales via Shopify to own the customer relationship and control margins. He outlines a strategy of launching with high margins to fund aggressive advertising, arguing that even a 10% product improvement justifies a significantly higher price point to outspend competitors. Patterson emphasizes that starting high allows for future discounts and easier negotiations with major retailers like Walmart, whereas starting low makes price increases nearly impossible.

    086: Marketing Fundamentals for Consumer Product Startups

    Michael Solomon, a marketing professor at St. Joseph's University and author of The New Chameleons, explains to host Kevin Mako that startups must start with strategy—identifying unmet needs—before applying the tactical 4Ps (Product, Place, Price, Promotion). Solomon argues that hardware companies should treat products as 'always in beta,' leveraging small initial runs to gather customer feedback and co-create value, rather than launching with feature creep. He emphasizes that pricing and distribution are strategic signals of quality, using DeWalt’s yellow branding and Bud Light’s market positioning as examples of successful category creation and perception management.
