Nick Green of Thrive Market: High Expectations; Low Ego

 My guest today is striving to change access to organic, healthy foods, at reasonable prices…while also taking on Amazon with a very un-Amazon model…in that thinks he can do it all sustainably.

If you know supply chains, you know this sounds barely possible? Well, his business is working: It has more than 1.2 million paying members, and had more than $400 million in sales in 2021. It’s called Thrive Market, and he’s co-founder and CEO Nick Green.
