E07: Manny Lubin and Josh Belinsky, Slate Milk

For E07 of Agents of Innovation, Dave's guests are the
co-founders of Slate Milk, Manny Lubin, and Josh Belinsky.
Recovery has become a pillar of every athlete's training regimen
- as important as gear, workouts, nutrition, and data/analytics -
and chocolate milk has long been one of the best-kept recovery
secrets of serious athletes. Unfortunately, chocolate milk has
been considered a kids' drink, not a serious recovery beverage,
and not optimized for the nutritional + recovery needs of the
athlete. Enter Slate Milk. Founded by Josh + Manny with a vision
to create a "clean slate" for chocolate milk by offering an
"adult version" - all-natural, lactose-free, with 20g protein, 0g
added sugar, and more protein, carbs, electrolytes. In just a few
short years, the duo has experienced a successful Kickstarter
launch, an appearance on Shark Tank, and successful launches at
top retailers, including Wegmans, Whole Foods, Publix, Giant,
Harris Teeter and selling in CrossFit boxes, Amazon, and for
delivery via GoPuff.  Manny and Josh share the story of
their journey, including how they build teams, stay focused, and
are creating a fitness brand found in grocery aisles - not the
nutrition section - that people consume every day for strength +
energy.
