We're joined this week by Lisa Mastela, the CEO and Founder of Bumpin' Blends. As a dietician and health advocate, Bumpin was started to make smoothies more accessible, and their growth is a testament to the quality of their product. In fact, keeping product quality top of mind is what leads their efforts to improve acquisition, retention, and the subscription experience.
