Arthur says, “I think part of the entrepreneurial journey in our country is that everyone thinks it is so damn easy. The success stories we’ve read about. The billion dollar exits that are so far and few between. I think it's disillusioning when they see that, because this is a blood, sweat and tears industry to build something.”

Today, we interview Arthur Gallego, CEO of Gallego & Co Marketing and a 2023 SKU Mentor. Arthur is the preeminent Food & Beverage marketing expert and has worked with clients such as OLIPOP, Health-Ade Kombucha, Vita Coco, Flow Spring Water, LifeAid, BulletProof 360, CANN, Hop WTR, Chomps, Vervet and more.
