Today’s guest is Blake Settle, founder and CEO of Rev Energy Gum in Austin, Texas. We sit down at the Geekdom Audio Lab and chat about Blake’s entrepreneurial spirit and his idea for caffeinated gum, funding, branding, locating a manufacturer and trial iterations of the product, the early days of selling to convenience stores in between classes at UT, the rapid rise in popularity and getting into larger retailers like HEB and Buc-ees, and what’s on the horizon for this young and rapidly growing CPG company. Enjoy.
