Mark Samuel - From concept to commerce in 4 months! [The Source Refresh Podcast, Ep 15]

EPISODE DESCRIPTION 

Mark Samuel is a man of few words over email, but on the podcast, he tells it all as it is. Mark Samuel is the founder of IWON Organics, a health enthusiast who is known for inspiring his LinkedIn community to show up for their Saturday workouts. Mark recently launched a passion project with the Feel Good Cold Plunge in just 4 months from idea to launch. I was curious about how he handled his supply chain from figuring out demand, identifying the right manufacturing partner, to validating product quality, to shipping it in, and distributing it within the US. 

SHOW NOTES 

We kick off the interview with learning a bit more about Mark the serial entrepreneur. The rest of the interview is devoted to Feel Good Cold Plunge, starting with an audacious timeline of 4 months from concept to commerce. Mark outlines in detail the steps he took to research the market, identify partners be it manufacturing, freight forwarders or 3 PLs. Leveraging existing networks and understanding basic commerce are things he hammers home, which should be encouraging for any aspiring entrepreneur - it really boils down to a lot of common sense.
