Welcome to the Healthpreneur Podcast! I’ve got elite athlete turned health entrepreneur, Arianne Perry, on the show with us today! She is the co-founder and president of a company called Sweet Defeat, and the company’s mission is to help people discover how easy it is to reap the benefits of a low-sugar lifestyle.

Arianne is going to give us the secrets to bringing a product to market successfully. Their product is a plant-based lozenge that is clinically proven to reduce sugar cravings, and they’ve chosen to have a single sales channel – their website. By carefully curating their marketing techniques, they attract the right people from the get-go and retain a better relationship with their customers through direct communication. 

Whether you’ve got a physical product, a digital one, or are offering your customers a service, you’re sure to get value from this episode. Arianne does dive deep into the production and strategy behind bringing a physical product to market, but her nuggets of wisdom around marketing, entrepreneurship, and leadership are valuable to anyone. Tune in to hear Arianne and I discuss things like branding, community, and creating a movement – and see how her journey can inspire some leaps in your own.
