Quotes
- “Our customers are very much big on creating something brand new from scratch that’s never been seen before in the market. And I think that’s what drives their success and what motivates myself to also infuse some of the creativity into the products that we make.” (01:50 | Shaun Ahuja)
- “We can create peppermint oil beadlets, which are great for digestion. And that protects the actives and it protects you. And it’s also a more optimal method or mechanism to deliver it for the purpose it’s meant to.” (04:50 | Shaun Ahuja)
- “Yoga, I found, is probably the greatest agent for de-aging or longevity. Yoga might be the number one natural remedy.” (07:03 | Shaun Ahuja)
- “The supply chain, you know, you think of it as a chain, but it’s actually more like a circle. We’re all in this together. I know it sounds kind of ‘kumbaya,’ but it’s funny because you never know when your vendor or your client might reverse roles. Your client could become your supplier, or vice versa. That’s actually true for us—we even have some of our competitors who are our customers. It’s unusual how business works or goes through cycles. So, the moral of the story for me is: work with people you get along with, respect everyone, and give back and forth.” (10:48 | Shaun Ahuja)
- “I think there will be an ever-growing interest in wellness, but also in how supplements will propel us forward into the next decade, century, and beyond.” (24:53 | Shaun Ahuja)
