8 YEARS. NO QUIT.

Justin, co-founder of MODL, joins the JustPaid podcast to share the full journey - from a modular water bottle that nearly broke the company, to the Infinity Tool, a universal attachment system now landing in 36 REI stores nationwide. We dig into what it really takes to pivot when everything is on the line, why three co-founders might be the magic number, and what separates the founders who survive year eight from the ones who don't. If you build physical products, run a small team, or are thinking about co-founder dynamics - this one's for you. Topics covered: hardware startups, product pivots, Kickstarter, just-in-time inventory, Amazon, Shopify, AI tools, executive coaching, co-founder roles, and the EOS operating system from Traction.
