Listen "#091: Chris Waldrum #3 - Rebranding Nutrex Research for the Future"
Episode Synopsis
https://blog.priceplow.com/podcast/chris-waldrum-nutrex-research-091
A lot has changed since we last talked to Chris Waldrum, who graced us with his presence in the legendary Episode #69 on the PricePlow Podcast. This time around, he's recently begun managing the new direction of the brand at Nutrex Research (named the "Nutrex Rebirth"), so we brought him on to talk about the transition from his sale of Inspired Nutraceuticals and on to Nutrex's rebrand coming this year.
We've long had a great relationship with Nutrex, spanning back to a trip we took in 2018 where we met the leadership team. Five years later, we're still big fans of products like the Gummy Bear flavor of Outlift, still a house favorite flavor, and IsoFit is one of the most incredible isolates on the market - and more people need to know about it.
That is Chris' job - to retell the Nutrex story to the next generation of athletes, and remind them how a major brand with serious international power can still throw its weight around in America. The first product to rebrand is Outlift Amped, so that's what you can look forward to first. You can watch on YouTube below or listen on any number of podcast apps:
