In this video, we drop you inside a Tony Robbins Business Mastery seminar for a 1-hour masterclass explaining HOW TO BUILD A BRAND, SHOWCASE YOUR X FACTOR, and BRING YOUR PRODUCT or SERVICE to a COMPETITIVE MARKET.
WATCH Tony Robbins in a one-on-one interview with the co-founders of BOOMCHICKAPOP, a wildly successful brand that completely disrupted the snack industry.
Angie and Dan Bastian were looking to put aside some money for their kids' college fund when they started a small kettle corn business out of the family’s garage. Initially selling popcorn at chilly Minnesota fairs and festivals, and then NFL Vikings games, the couple soon took their popcorn to Trader Joe's, Target, Costco, and beyond - gaining a crash course in how to operate a business and manage a team along the way.
The real game changer took place when the then-named Angie's Kettle Corn embraced a bold new identity: BOOMCHICKAPOP. Angie retired from life as a nurse practitioner and Dan from teaching history to run their company full-time. And after years of commitment and perseverance, the Bastians sold their business in 2017 to Chicago-based Conagra Brands for $250 million.
In this candid conversation, the couple reveals their journey (that included UNLEASH THE POWER WITHIN) and facing their fears, going ALL-IN, falling in love with their clients and connecting to the needs and desires of that customer base led to their ultimate success.
