In this episode, I chat with Pete Maldonado, co-founder of
Chomps, about how they built a half-billion-dollar meat stick
empire, ultimately becoming the number three meat snack brand in
the U.S.


Despite facing significant setbacks, including personal
bankruptcy and multiple failed businesses, Pete has propelled
Chomps to meteoric success, securing shelf space in major chain
stores like Trader Joe's and Costco.


Today, he shares how he leverages customer feedback, overcomes
packaging challenges, and maintains a passionate, high-performing
team culture.


 


In this episode, you’ll enjoy 3 BIG things:




The importance of focusing on one thing and doing it
exceptionally well. 




The critical role of strategic partnerships and the creative
solutions used to navigate supply chain challenges.




How Chomps stays ahead in the competitive meat snack market.




All these plus a bunch more ear nuggets along the way.
