234. Scaling Sweet Success: How Clio Snacks Grew Nationwide Distribution

I sit down with John McGuckin, CEO of Clio Snacks and seasoned CPG executive, to unpack the brand’s remarkable journey from niche yogurt innovation to nationwide distribution. Clio’s Greek Yogurt Bars are now selling in 28,000+ doors — a case study in CPG scaling done right. We explore John’s leadership approach, how Clio has navigated the competitive snacking landscape, and what it takes to build a brand that earns shelf space and customer loyalty.

Whether you’re a founder navigating your first retail pitch or a seasoned operator scaling your supply chain, this conversation is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.
