Drop the Ego

#BusinessOfDrinks #FounderLeadership #OLIPOP #CPGFounders
Great founders don’t scale by tightening control — they scale by letting go of it.

In this video, OLIPOP co-founder and CEO Ben Goodwin breaks down the biggest leadership unlocks in CPG: Hiring people smarter than you, resisting micromanagement, and staying anchored to the mission instead of your title.

He even shares why most managers at OLIPOP know more about their area than he does — and why that’s exactly how high-growth brands are built.

A must-watch for founders navigating the shift from “doing everything” to leading through others.
