Brief intro on me / my product
Growing up, I watched my dad try (and fail) at quitting dipping. Then I got a hooked on Zyns and couldn’t quit.
After finding @BowTiedBull shortly after starting my W2 - I knew I needed to start a WiFi biz
I decided I’d make a nicotine free, natural pouch. 1.5 years of R&D later - it’s finally here.
We swapped all the bad shit in other pouches for clean alternatives. Pure Pouches have 50 mg caffeine / l-theanine, vitamin b12, and natural flavoring. They’re sweetened w/ Xylitol and Monk Fruit Extract.
Roadtripping my family back from vacation today and I absolutely refuse to do it without Pure Pouches
Caffeine to keep me awake
Nootropics to keep me locked in
Not a bunch of liquid like Diet Coke that makes me have to stop and pee.
@bowtiedblock has a winner here
Has Zyn peaked?
1) First month ever that YoY sales have declined
2) Zyn is below 50% market share for the first time ever
No doubt that $PM has built a monster, but the tide might be turning!
Thanks for the image generation suggestions, Meta. I was going to run the ads that I spent hours making, but these are so much better. Ads manager is the best!!
Good excerpt from Chenmark's letter this week which highlights why alot of the high achievers I used to hire in my old hedge fund days turned out to be complete snowflakes. In both finance and in the blue collar world, the best hires have usually failed/aren't scared to fail/will admit what they can't do/are willing to find solutions. Also the grade inflation at Harvard is crazy stupid
Not just entrepreneurship but life in general
Boils down to three things:
1) Delayed gratification
2) Ability to deal with failure
3) Commitment to routines
If you ever feel dumb just know I reworked my site and started running ads without turning test mode off
Woke up this AM and have to now refund orders and hope they come back
All you can do is laugh!
If only somebody made these with natural sweeteners, flavoring, and MCT oil instead of all the artificial ingredients in nicotine pouches... that'd be a great idea
