From $100 and a Bag of Powder to a Thriving Superfoods Brand - Justin Snyder

Think Business with Tyler

Justin Snyder went from $100 and a bag of spirulina to building an 8-figure superfoods brand—without a single dollar of outside funding.

What started with borrowed packaging and orders fulfilled from a local health shop has grown into Forest Superfoods, a thriving ecommerce business known for premium, organic supplements.

But Justin didn’t get there by following the playbook. He bet on brand integrity, lightning-fast fulfillment, and lean operations instead of flashy marketing and investor cash.

The result? A business built on trust, profitability, and purpose—with zero compromises.

In this transparent and tactical conversation, Justin shares:

• How walking away from a cofounder unlocked 10x growth
• Why “Cheap Superfoods” was the worst (and best) brand mistake he made
• The exact moment he decided to never raise outside capital
• How daily cold plunges became his personal business therapy
• Why speed, simplicity, and product purity became his competitive edge
• The small daily habit that keeps his company moving forward
• How a trip to India sparked the idea behind Forest Superfoods
