Paul Reiss dropped out of college to build Protein Pints, and then scaled it from 1 store to 15,000 in just three years.

His strategy: deliberately pumping the brakes on Marketing so the brand wouldn’t blow up before it could actually deliver.

Paul and Daniel get into why going viral too early can sink a young brand, how to know when to hold back versus hit the gas, and the 1 question he says every product has to answer before you scale it.

If you’re a Marketer or founder who wants to know when to market and when to wait, this episode is for YOU!
