Nik and Moiz are joined by special guest Rob Schutz, who shares his fascinating career journey and insights into the early days of BarkBox.

As the former VP of Growth, Rob discusses the challenges and successes of building the BarkBox brand, including how the company capitalized on early organic growth and leveraged the power of social media and influencers to rise to the top of the subscription box food chain. He also shares his experiences with other Barkbox ventures, such as BarkPost, BarkBuddy, and reveals exactly what happened to the failed BarkCare.

Later, Rob chats with the guys about the evolution of his new healthcare tech company, Ro, unveiling the unique set of challenges he’s faced in scaling a PCP platform and explaining how it differs from BarkBox, before talking about his current endeavors in growth marketing consulting and domain acquisition.
