Jimmy DeCicco is the Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer of Supercoffee: a bottled coffee company that mass produces positive energy. He is also the Co-Founder of the Cedar Trunk Ranch and has been featured as one of Forbes's 30 Under 30. After his younger brother had the idea to make a healthy and high-protein coffee drink as an alternative to the sugary drinks that have become standardized in America, he quit his high-paying Wall Street finance job to build a business with his brothers.
From humble beginnings pouring samples and delivering orders out of the back of a van, Jimmy has helped scale Supercoffee from a dorm room idea to a household name that can be found in over 40,000 stores nationwide.
In this episode, he shares how the brothers turned a $30k investment from their Aunt into a company now valued at over $500 million and how living by the philosophy of working hard and being nice to people, he and his brothers have been able to create a healthy and delicious product that has removed over 20 million lbs. of sugar from the American diet.
