Hosted by Ramon Berrios and Blaine Bolus, DTC POD: How The Best Brands Are Built digs into the operational and creative realities of building a direct-to-consumer business from the ground up. This isn't just theory; it's a practical dialogue drawn from conversations with the people actually doing the work. Each episode features founders who have navigated the early chaos, marketers dissecting winning campaigns, platform experts, content creators, and leaders from growth agencies.

You'll hear the candid stories behind the brands, the mistakes made and lessons learned, all centered on the core question of what makes a modern DTC company not just function, but flourish.
