247. The Hidden 6-Figure Mistakes Hiding in Your Packaging

In this episode, I share how one “small” packaging change can snowball into a six-figure problem—and how to stop that from happening to your brand.

I sit down with Maureen Dollard, founder of Complete Acuity, to break down where CPG founders go wrong: missing pieces in the scope, forgetting secondary packaging, and leaving regulatory to the last minute. If you’re planning a refresh or new launch in 2026, this is your cheat sheet to avoiding costly delays, write-offs, and do-overs.
