Advice Line with Chieh Huang of Boxed

Advice Line with Chieh Huang of Boxed

Today’s callers: Alec from California wonders if it’s time to bring production for his beef tallow skincare brand out of his kitchen to a co-manufacturer. Then, Jessica from California has a hit horse care product on her hands: is a major pet distributor a dream partnership or a brand-killer? And Eli in Minnesota is curious if he should tweak his signature anti-inflammatory coffee blend for bulk brewing or protect the original taste?

Plus, Chieh reflects on his exit from Boxed and how his latest venture, Pelgo, helps people through similarly significant career transitions.
