Ever thought about launching your own beverage brand? It might sound like a far-fetched idea, but after hearing this conversation with Dr. Roger Wu, you might just find yourself thinking, "Hey… maybe I could do this." Roger shares how he turned a recurring problem he saw in his patients into an innovative eye-health drink. He walks us through how he went from an idea in his head to a finished product in hand, while still working his day job. You'll learn: What a formulation lab is and why it's a key early step How he found a startup-friendly co-packer willing to take a chance (and it's name!) What kind of budget you might need to go from concept to first batch The often-overlooked costs involved in getting your product noticed What he did when his first samples tasted so bad even his kids refused them How he attracted a top beverage industry veteran to join his startup Then in the wrap up, I share a true, inspiring story of how one 18-year-old with no funding, managed to get his jam product onto the shelves of a major grocery chain.
