Inside Chief Nutrition’s $1M/Month Ecommerce Engine Without Cutting Corners | #615
Episode 615
Published 4 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Justin Babet, co-founder of Chief Nutrition, didn’t set out to build a $1M/month ecommerce brand. What started as a side hustle selling beef bars in a gym has evolved into one of Australia’s fastest-growing health food brands, now stocked in Woolworths, Coles, and scaling globally.
With a background in tech startups (including selling JobAdvisor), Justin brought a “build, measure, learn” mindset into a category known for over-processing and shortcuts. The result? A brand built on trust, premium positioning, and a relentless focus on clean ingredients.
Today, we’re discussing:
- How Chief Nutrition scaled from a side hustle to $1M/month ecommerce
- Why creative volume beats “perfect ads”
- Performance vs brand: when to focus on each
- Building a premium product in a price-sensitive market
- The power of subscriptions and loyalty programs
- How UGC and influencer collabs drive new customer growth
- Why “real food” is winning in modern ecommerce
