Your Host: Jason Raznick CEO of Benzinga https://twitter.com/JasonRaznick Special Guest: Josh Richards, CSO of Triller, & Original Sway House member Looking back at my past financial mistakes, I set out to build a brand surrounding my party animal lifestyle that would inspire others to be active and adventurous. With basically every waking moment being shared with the public, either through my podcasts or my social channels where I have 26 million followers across all platforms, I saw the immense value in the free marketing I was giving brands just by showing products in my social posts. -Previously an avid RedBull drinker, I would display my friends and I fueling our active lifestyle by drinking them numerous times on all platforms. I’ve watched as other influencers sell their souls to promote other people’s brands and businesses, and I thought, why aren’t we harnessing our platforms to further build our own businesses. -Josh Richards and I set out to create a drink suitable for all settings, from Monday mornings to Friday nights. Ani will give you that extra boost of energy without all of the added sugar and calories like other energy drinks out there. -With my platform I’m also very lucky to be able to connect with the industry’s top product developers and entrepreneurs. We spent hours going back and forth on the brand name, colors, and flavors. I’ve learned so much along the journey from brainstorming this energy drink, to having it physically in my hands and drinking it everyday. -It takes real drive, dedication, and time to create a brand and I appreciate everyone along the way who has given me insight into what it takes to start a business. I really wanted to be involved every step of the way and avoid taking a product and slapping my name on it. I believe Ani Energy will be a common household drink and be a competitor to top energy drink brands like RedBull and Monster.
