Next up in our Big Dwayne Energy employee spotlight series, where we showcase our incredible team is... Olcomendy, George - VP, National Accounts ⚡️ 1. How are you bringing Big Dwayne Energy to ZOA? First, I truly believe that this brand is one of the best tasting energy drinks on the market. I am committed to making sure this brand is growing and is available across the country in all our leading retailers. If this product is not available, how can they experience the brand. I wake up every day energized to find ways for our retail partners to bring on ZOA Energy. BDE is a mindset that I carry across the organization to inspire others. 2. What is your favorite thing about working at ZOA? Definitely the people and the culture that has been developed here over the last 3 years. I come to work energized by the folks that surround me every day. By far, this has been the most fun and rewarding job I have had. Make no mistake, it's never easy but coming to work everyday here has been a moment in time that I will never forget. 3. If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? It would have to be pasta. Any type. I cannot imagine not having an option in a meal selection that does not have pasta. I absolutely loved my mom’s homemade pasta sauce. 4. What is your favorite ZOA flavor and why? Frosted Grape. Can’t really figure out why, as grape has never really been a favorite flavor of mine but I LOVE ZOA Frosted Grape. 5. What is your biggest Big Dwayne Energy moment? Two moments stick out for me. First would be our XFL tie in with HEB. We had the opportunity for our founders meet and greet at HEB in-store and then experienced the XFL championship game with all in San Antonio. Second would be a most recent win, bringing Albertsons Companies on board nationally. It has been a work in the making for a long time and just being able to tell our entire team of the win, brought out a Big Dwayne Energy moment that I will not forget. #ZOAEnergy #BigDwayneEnergy #EmployeeSpotlight #SalesTeam

I truly believe the first 7 employees are one of the biggest factors in determining a company’s success. 💡 For me, the first few hires are everything. These early teammates don’t just fill roles—they set the tone for the entire company. They define our culture, set the bar for work ethic, and shape the identity of who we are and how we operate. What I find surprising is that in many conversations with investors, there’s so much focus on product, market fit, and growth strategies, yet very little emphasis on a team’s ability to build, scale, and manage an organization. For me, this is one of the most critical elements of any startup’s success—your ability to grow an internal organization can make or break your company. This leads to one of my core beliefs: there are always two products to build in any company—the one for your customers, and the one within your organization, your team. Startups often overlook how vital it is to build a strong internal team, but this is where the real magic happens. 🪄 Today, I’m excited to welcome Tyler Shortt to the team as our VP of Revenue. Tyler’s 16+ years of experience, especially in the wine and spirits industry, make him the perfect addition to Hippie Water. He’s a bar raiser, and I know he’ll help us not only grow revenue but also raise the level of thinking, interaction, and performance across the board. Let’s begin building. Welcome, Tyler! 🙌 Already have eyes on employee #2 👀 You know who you are.

Opportunities = Retention 37 years, 8 roles, and 1 amazing employee testimonial to motivate existing employees (and potential new ones) about how loyalty is rewarded. I won't pretend to know much about Superdrug's retention strategy, do they have great employee engagement? Regular PDP meetings? High investment in L&D? i'm not sure, but what i do know is this is will do wonders for their employer brand. It also shows if you hire the right person who aligns with your company values, vision, culture etc, you can't go far wrong. Bravo 👏

As I watch the Super Bowl tonight, I couldn't help but draw parallels between the achievements of the two teams and the importance of discipline in the workplace. The months of dedicated practice, perseverance, and unwavering focus on their goals were evident in every play. It reminded me of the journey we all take in our careers, where consistent effort and discipline are essential ingredients for success. Each player on the field has a specific role to play, and they must work together seamlessly to achieve their ultimate goal of winning the game. Similarly, in a professional setting, every employee contributes their unique skills and talents to contribute to the overall success of the organization. The Super Bowl showcases the resilience of both teams, as they overcomes obstacles and adversity to reach the championship game. In the same way, we may encounter challenges in our careers, but it's our discipline and determination that will help us navigate through them and emerge stronger. A supportive and collaborative work environment fosters a sense of camaraderie and unity, where everyone is working towards a common goal. This trust and teamwork are essential for driving innovation, improving productivity, and achieving exceptional results. The Super Bowl is a testament to the power of discipline and perseverance. It showed us that with dedication, hard work, and a shared vision, anything is possible. As we reflect on this exciting game, let's carry the lessons of discipline and teamwork with us into our workplaces. # unlock your full potential.

Last year, Harvard Business Review published a thought-provoking article titled "Hard Work Doesn’t Always Lead to Success" by Utkarsh Amitabh. It challenges the myth that relentless effort and hard work alone guarantees results, emphasizing that success often hinges on aligning our efforts with our true passions and interests. The article got us thinking about how most people fail not because of a lack of effort but because their efforts are misdirected or misaligned with their interests. Fast forward to last week — Rachael Banks, Director of Sales, Foodservice at Ferrara, posted something that truly resonated with us! 🎉 Rachael didn’t just share her obsession with WILDE CHIPS (we’re with you on those BBQ and Buffalo flavors 🔥), but she also highlighted how refreshing it is to see a brand push boundaries and elevate the snacking industry, setting itself apart by offering a unique experience that stands out on the shelf. At WILDE, our kickass team thrives on a shared passion for health and well-being, which fuels our continuous innovation. By aligning our personal and professional goals with a commitment to creating protein-packed, better-for-you snacks, we’re not just making products—we’re making a real impact on consumers’ lives. Her insights are spot-on: "If we are honest, it’s easy to focus on our OWN goals, but real growth happens when we pause to recognize the incredible work being done by OTHER brands." When we lift each other up, we foster an industry built on mutual respect, innovation, and shared success." 💪🏻 Right back at you, so a huge shoutout to Rachael—you're a rising star in our industry! Your leadership, collaboration, and recognition of others’ efforts truly set you apart. Thank you for championing a #culture that drives real growth!
