282. How GOOD GOOD is Building a Global No-Sugar Brand in a Category Dominated by Giants

In this episode, I sit down with Gardar Stefansson, Founder and CEO of GOOD GOOD, to talk about how he grew an Icelandic startup into a global no-sugar brand now sold at retailers like Whole Foods, Sprouts, Kroger, and H-E-B.

We talk about finding product-market fit, competing with legacy brands through taste and better ingredients, the realities of scaling in U.S. retail, and how GOOD GOOD is using AI to make smarter decisions.

Gardar also shares practical advice for CPG founders on testing small, learning fast, and building a product people genuinely love.
