I launched the "athletic greens for dogs" earlier this year and we did over $800,000 in sales in November alone. We actually came up with the concept in early 2023 and spent close to 2 years formulating it with some of the best and brightest experts in the space. I remember seeing Greg talk about this idea on My First Million podcast in late 2023 and then posting about it again here just one month before we launched. This would make some people nervous, but I embrace competition as it only helps grow the category. And inevitably all roads will lead to customers choosing Iron Paws as I can confidently say we have the best product on the market. The only thing Greg got wrong is that $100M/year is way too low of a projection.😏

i still think "athletic greens for dogs" is a $100M/year business waiting to be built here's the business plan humans already spend $20B yearly on premium spring water. they choose mountain valley over dasani, dasani over tap etc. yet their dogs still drink straight from the tap. if premium water matters for humans, why not for our best friends? partner with 25 veterinary clinics. run a 90-day study tracking dogs on premium supplements vs regular diet. data play is key. measure everything - energy levels, coat shine, joint mobility, dental hygiene, blood markers. raw data showing health improvements is your golden ticket. obviously, this has to actually work for you to continue. the go-to-market is dead simple. start with instagram. but not boring product shots. pure emotion. show a 12-year-old golden retriever playing like a puppy again. that video is worth 10,000 words of marketing copy. test two core ad angles: the dramatic transformation (old dog bouncing like a puppy) vs the science angle (vet explaining nutrient gaps). let the data tell you which hits harder. then scale the winner across platforms. split test headlines mercilessly. "your dog's water is empty" vs "the missing piece in pet health" vs "why vets are adding this to their dogs' water." the first 3 seconds determine if they stop scrolling. pricing strategy is key. launch at $97/month for the premium formula. seems steep. but dog owners spent $50B on premium pet food last year. they'll pay anything for their best friend if it means longevity distribution playbook sign 50 pet instagram accounts with 100K+ followers. focus on authentic before/after stories. partner with three top pet youtubers for long-form content showing real results. target facebook groups full of obsessive dog moms, sponsor dog longevity events. for manufacturing see if you can partner instead of figuring it out yourself. five supplement manufacturers already make pet vitamins. partner with the best one. modify their base formula. add your premium ingredients. partner with a water company. skip 36 months of R&D. find a veterinary researcher who can be the face of the brand. the dr. huberman of pet health. let them tell the story about why regular water and kibble just isn't enough anymore. this is your master stroke. tldr; build exclusivity first. premium product, premium price. once you own the high end, launch the $29/month "essentials" formula. the real money is in mass premium. that's it. the whole playbook. pet wellness is a $10B market growing 30% yearly. the first brand to own "premium pet supplements" walks away with a billion dollar exit. and if you can make the lives of our best friends happier and healthier, that alone is super cool. pet longevity is about to be a MASSIVE space. i share trends like this to get your creative juices flowing. someone's going to build this. why not you?

"Attention is the new currency" is becoming more and more true as AI advances. I would legitimately rather be a master at garnering attention and go back to $0 than have $100 million dollars and be irrelevant right now.

Just walked past the Swatch store in Miami. No line. Looks like nobody wants to pay $500 for a pocket watch.

$19k/day pet brands are winning with simple animated hooks like this the dog looks cute but the problem is instantly obvious constant licking itchy skin owner concern clear discomfort then the product enters as a character not just a bottle on screen but the “helper” in the story that contrast is what makes the ad work problem first emotion first solution second cute visual clear pain easy payoff rt + comment yeast and i’ll send the breakdown (follow for dm)

@ecom_cork I find it more weird you’re estimating a man’s net worth based on literally nothing. Maybe Jason is just…100% correct.
