Harry’s Razors is arguably one of the first companies to pioneer the direct-to-consumer model. This year, the company is celebrating 10 years.

We’re taking a look at some of our favorite moments from the 2021 Fast Company Innovation Festival.  Here’s a conversation about sports, entertainment, and the new way we tell and sell stories with Stephanie McMahon, chief brand officer at WWE, and Lee Trink, CEO and co-owner of FaZe Clan.

My guest today is Kat Cole, the COO and president of North America for Focus Brands, which owns famous companies like Cinnabon, Carvel, Jamba, and more. Kat’s story and career trajectory are remarkable, as are the lessons she’s picked up along the way which she shares with us all in this conversation. We discuss negotiation, distribution, brand building, brand extension strategies, and leadership. I always enjoy having a true operator on the show, so I was very excited to discover Kat and her thinking. Please enjoy this great conversation.   This week’s episode is sponsored by Bottomless.
