Discovering Wisdom: Insights from Drew Lederman and Brandon Davis

In the latest Beyond Fulfillment Podcast recap we dive into the stories and experiences of two dynamic entrepreneurs, Drew Lederman and Brandon Davis. From nutritional innovation to AI-driven debt recovery solutions, Drew and Brandon embody the spirit of modern entrepreneurship. Let’s explore the invaluable lessons and inspiring journeys they shared with us.

Mastering Flavors with Drew Lederman

Drew Lederman , co-founder and CEO of Resist Nutrition, joins us to share her entrepreneurial voyage in the competitive world of Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG). For the past two years, Drew has been perfecting three distinct flavors of her nutrition bars, driven by a mission to provide balanced blood sugar solutions without artificial ingredients.

Mission-Driven Business

A significant part of Drew's story is her personal struggle with PCOS and insulin resistance, diagnosed at a young age. Her experience led to the birth of Resist Nutrition, which aims to fill a market gap with nutritious, on-the-go bars. Focusing on the health-conscious consumer, particularly those in Gen Z and facing specific health challenges such as menopause or insulin resistance, Drew’s mission goes beyond business to become a beacon of health empowerment.

Business Growth and Challenges

Launching during the post-pandemic era brought its own set of challenges, yet Drew's strategic approach—from leveraging community feedback to self-shipping products—proved instrumental. She shares insights about the importance of emotional resilience and optimism in overcoming business obstacles, and her future plans include expanding distribution and developing new flavors.

Bridging Gaps with Brandon Davis

Brandon Davis , co-founder of Interval and host of the “Get Over Yourself” podcast, joins Dave to discuss the invaluable lessons he’s learned through his podcasting journey and entrepreneurial pursuits.

The Value of Podcasting

Brandon’s podcast, “Get Over Yourself,” began as a platform for self-development and entrepreneurial advice for young adults. He explains how interviewing experts across various fields like sales and marketing has been an educational goldmine, not just for him but for his audience as well. Podcasting, according to Brandon, offers free, in-depth insights that can be transformative for listeners.

Entrepreneurial Origins and Inspirations

Inspired by early interests in business and influenced by shows like "Shark Tank," Brandon shares his pivot from uncertainty post-mission to starting his own podcast and software business. His venture, Interval-AI, automates internal collections processes for businesses, addressing significant cash flow issues.

Mentorship and Generational Perspectives

A key takeaway from Brandon’s story is the importance of relatable mentorship. He advocates for advice from individuals who are only slightly ahead in their journey, bridging generational gaps often found in entrepreneurial guidance. This perspective is particularly insightful for young entrepreneurs wrestling with contemporary economic and societal challenges.
