Obvi: Health and wellness evolution When it comes to our Brand Of The Year Award, we generally look for quality supplements, expansion into unfamiliar categories, different formats, and consistency across the year. While Obvi isn’t your typical sports nutrition or even hardcore brand, it ticked every one of those boxes in 2021 just as much as Glaxon and Apollon Nutrition, but in its separate world of health and wellness.

7. Remove dependencies "I took a look at my day and made a list of everything that I was dependent on. I was dependent on some form of caffeine to kick start my day because I often didn't get the best sleep. I forced myself to disconnect and become responsible enough to get a good night's rest. I was dependent on several alarms every morning to wake me up, I forced myself to find the passion that drives me enough to wake up every morning on my own, which stemmed from knowing my responsibilities. I was dependent on my huge list of to-dos to let me know what I needed to complete; instead, I forced myself to be responsible enough to segment out my to-do list with due dates for myself, so I was held accountable. Removing dependencies gives you the ability to act on what you need to do without having to wait on something to give you the ability to do it." --Ronak Shah, CEO of collagen-fortified cereal company Obvi, which has thousands of customers globally, and cofounder of Ghost 3 Media, which has helped more than 25 Inc. 5000 brands scale their digital footprints

Ron is the real deal. I came into the meeting wanting to learn more about starting a supplement company and left with knowledge that would've taken me years to acquire through trial and error, if ever at all. I also received new connections to relevant people in the field that I would've never had. Ron is extremely generous and it's clear he genuinely wants to see you succeed. Any question you have he will drop a value bomb on you, he simply does not hold back and that is very rare. Come with the right questions and mindset and you will leave with the power to EASILY 100x+ the cost of the call. Glad to have met Ron and already looking forward to our next call in the near future.

Ronak set the stage by having me gather KPIs before our mentoring call even started. Once we jumped on the call he dove straight in and went over our numbers and pointed out immediate areas we can improve. He explained how slightly improving multiple KPIs (Conversion Rates and AOV) can allow a company to scale quicker and at a profit. He was generous enough to share several tactics (as well as concrete examples) that their team worked on to improve conversion rates and AOV. It was an hour full of nuggets that I'll be implementing soon. Hands down one of the nicest and helpful people out there. I wouldn't hesitate to book time with Ronak. It's well worth it!

Ronak was awesome - he started off our call with some really insightful questions to get a better understanding of Sani. Once we got into the crux of my questions around paid marketing, he had such actionable advice. His tips alone helped me have a direction of where to go, but then he also made two intros (within the span of 48 hours) that will compound what we can do with his tips. It's so helpful to get advice from a founder that now has a huge business, but hasn't forgotten what it's like to be in the weeds building it up. Overall I'd highly recommend meeting with him.

Awesome meeting with Ron. He really dove into the heart of the problem. I originally went in thinking about certain types of questions, but he refocused my energy on what was important for the long term success of my company. He also discussed things that he did wrong, so then I would be prepared to avoid those future mistakes. I would definitely recommend Ron if you're looking for someone who has a ton of experience and you're looking for some transparency with your business

Ronak is my first mentor here and probably will be my only mentor for quite some time to come. He's done an amazing job analysing my business. He's then given very specific and insightful advice. I've already earned back my initial investment, and then some, from this short session within 24 hours (I'm not even kidding). We are on track to earn 50% of our whole year's revenue from this month alone thanks to his advice. Looking forward to more sessions! :)
