Show notes
Greg Lavecchia is giving you the Bloom Influencer Playbook — every CPM framework, scouting hack, and validity marketing tactic from the episode in one free PDF → https://openresidency.com/greg-lavecchia-playbook
In this episode, we sit down with Greg Lavecchia, co-founder and CEO of Bloom Nutrition, to unpack how he bootstrapped a company to $180M with his wife, his mom, and his best friend from high school.
Greg breaks down the influencer machine behind 15 billion-plus views, why Bloom runs zero attribution, and the nostalgia-first product formula behind their energy drinks.
We also go deep on the $1.36M restock day, the cartel that jacked three 18-wheelers of product on Christmas, and the Nutrabolt partnership that put Bloom on Dr. Pepper trucks in 50,000 doors. The American Dream, fully operational. Enjoy!
