Founder's Story

About Founder's Story

"Founder's Story" by IBH Media isn't a business show. It's the conversation founders don't get to have anywhere else. Think 60 Minutes, but for entrepreneurs. We sit down with the most interesting people in business and go past the highlight reel, past the pitch, past the polished version they give every other podcast. We go into the mud with them. The 2 a.m. doubts. The bet that almost ended everything. The moment they wanted to quit and didn't. You'll hear from household names like Gary V, Codie Sanchez, Rob Dyrdek, and Tom Bilyeu, and just as often from founders you've never heard of who are building something the world needs to know about. Either way, the goal is the same: a real conversation that makes you laugh, makes you think, and sometimes catches you off guard with how much it makes you feel. This is where the story behind the success finally gets told. This is "Founder's Story."

The Billion-Dollar Energy Drink No One Saw Coming | Ep. 446 with Scott Frohman Founder and CEO of Odyssey Functional Energy

Published 21 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] But what I realized is that a lot of people were buying our drink as we got into more convenience stores. They were buying our drink with either a Celsius or a Bang Energy because they also wanted the caffeine. And this only had the 85 milligrams of caffeine. So most every energy drink is caffeine and tourmine and sweetened with sucralose. Basically spiky up, crashy down, hard to come back. With Odyssey and even the Odyssey 2-2-2, which is 222 milligrams of caffeine, and you put in the L-thenadine, it rounds out the caffeine. So you get a longer sustainable energy without the crash from the jitters, but you get this focus and clarity. […]
