#100 - Lessons from the Frontlines, Laughs Behind the Scenes, and Bold Bets for the Future of Regen CPG

What’s up, y’all - welcome to a very special episode of the ReGen Brands Podcast. This isn’t just another episode—it’s episode 100. That’s right… triple digits. 

And today, Kyle and I are taking a moment to reflect on everything this show has become since that first conversation back in 2022. We’re talking about where the regenerative CPG space was when we started and just how far it’s come—more brands, more awareness, more momentum. 

We’ll share the behind-the-scenes stuff too… the quirks, the laughs, the chaos, and the little rituals that have shaped our journey.

We’re giving out some fun awards—like grittiest guest, sweatiest guest, best background, and most listened-to episode—and yes, we roast ourselves a bit too.

We’ll also be sharing the regen products we’ve been loving lately and making some bold predictions about what’s going to happen between now and episode 200.

But most importantly, we’re taking stock of what we’ve learned, where the industry’s headed, and why we’re still all-in on this work.

Whether you’ve listened to one episode or all one hundred, we’re so grateful you’re here.
