单集简介 ...

Today’s callers: Alec from California wonders if it’s time to bring production for  his beef tallow skincare brand out of his kitchen to a co-manufacturer. Then, Jessica from California has a hit horse care product on her hands: is a major pet distributor a dream partnership or a brand-killer? And Eli in Minnesota is curious if he should tweak his signature anti-inflammatory coffee blend for bulk brewing or protect the original taste? Plus, Chieh reflects on his exit from Boxed and how his latest venture helps people through similarly significant career transitions. Thank you to the founders of Surfing Cow, Tail Cinch, and Makor Coffee for being a part of our show. If you’d like to be featured on a future Advice Line episode—where Guy and former show guests take questions from early-stage founders—leave us a one-minute message that tells us about your business and a specific question you’d like answered. Send a voice memo to hibt@id.wondery.com or call 1-800-433-1298.  And be sure to listen to Boxed as told by Chieh on the show in 2021.  This episode was produced by Rommel Wood with music by Ramtin Arablouei. It was edited by John Isabella. Our audio engineer was Robert Rodriguez.   You can follow HIBT on X & Instagram and sign up for Guy's free newsletter at guyraz.com and on Substack.

  • Hello and welcome to the advice line on how I built this lab.

  • I'm Guy Raz.

  • This is the place where we help try to solve your business challenges.

  • Each week, I'm joined by a legendary founder, a former guest on the show who will help me try to help you.

  • And if you're building something and you need advice, give us a call and you just might be the next guest on the show.

  • Our number is 1-800-433-1298.

  • Leave us a one minute message that tells us about your business and the issues or questions that you'd like help with.

  • All right, let's get to it.

  • Joining me this week is Boxed co-founder Che Wang.

  • Che, it's so great to have you back on the show.

  • Thanks for having me back, Guy.

  • It's going to be a great conversation.

  • So you, Che, you were first on How I Built This in 2021.

  • And as always, if you guys haven't heard that episode, we will put a link to it in the show notes.

  • But basically, 2013, you launched Boxed, which was an online bulk retailer

  • that you could get toilet paper and laundry detergent.

  • And I think it was like 500 of the most common household items.

  • Products, foods that people would buy.

  • I remember you talking about packing up boxes and pallets of boxes coming to your parents' garage in New Jersey.

  • And you guys sent out tens of millions of these boxes of groceries around the country.
