Description

Everyone can benefit from Dustin Finkel's vast experience with networking, team building, and the sheer back-breaking work of building a successful brand. But if you're a current or budding entrepreneur, don't miss this episode of the Lessons From The Tank Podcast!

No stranger to hard work, Dustin is a self-proclaimed hard-core workout fanatic who trains other athletes. His dedication to fitness and nutrition led him to seek better snack food alternatives, resulting in Ka-Pop Snacks. All of Ka-Pop's products are vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, cruelty-free, made from ancient grains - and taste delicious!

Although Dustin's energetic and entertaining performance on Season 11, Episode 12 of Shark Tank did not lead to a deal, Ka-Pop Snacks has grown and become extremely popular under his leadership.

Dustin talks about a few of the best things he's done as an entrepreneur, like networking and employee recognition, and a few of the things he could have done better in hindsight, like trying to stretch staff and resources too thin. He stresses the importance of passion as a leader and believes the best salesman in your company should be the CEO.
