Summary

Today on the podcast is Ted Volz, Founder of Clean Energy.

Ted graduated from The University of Notre Dame in 2004 with a B.A. in Accountancy. He then went to work with PwC from 2004-2020 before starting his own company, Clean Energy. Clean Energy is a clean-label, certified organic smoothie that has changed the paradigm for on-the-go sports nutrition. It has been recognized by Runner's World as a "Best Food to Eat Before a Run" and is used by many of the top collegiate athletic programs across the NCAA.

In this conversation, Ted goes through his passion for athletics, the challenges of creating a company, his dream for Clean Energy, how he handles rejection, and much more! This conversation was delightful and insightful. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the ups and downs that come with creating a company.

0:00.0	Today's podcast is brought to you by Clean Energy.
0:03.1	Guys, to perform at your best, you need to be adequately fueled before and after training,
0:07.6	and one of my favorite ways to stay fueled and ready to go is with Clean Energy.
0:11.8	Clean Energy is a clean label, certified organic smoothie, and a single serve packet
0:15.8	that changes the paradigm for on-the-go sports nutrition.
0:19.1	Unfortunately, many energy bars, drinks, and gels made today
0:21.8	contain added sugars and lab-created ingredients, which your body may treat as toxins and could
0:26.7	be detrimental to long-term health. On the contrary, clean energy contains only organic fruits and
0:32.6	vegetables, and the result is more bioavailable energy in the short term and more healthful energy
0:37.1	in the long term.
0:38.4	Don't just take my word for it because in one year since its launch, clean energy is used by
0:43.5	athletic departments across the ACC, Big Ten, and Pac-12 conferences.
0:48.1	Another awesome thing to see was clean energy was stocked in the woman's final four locker rooms.
0:52.6	And perhaps coolest of all, clean energy
0:54.4	has been recognized by Runner's World in their annual fitness awards as a best food to eat before a run.
0:59.5	I completely agree with this, as I've used Clean Energy for a few weeks now, and it is my go-to pre-run
1:04.9	snack. My favorite parts about it are its clean ingredients, delicious taste, and convenience that saves
1:10.4	me many minutes every day
1:11.6	before my run. Clean energy is shelf stable for months, durable, and portable for whenever and
1:16.9	wherever you go. Clean energy is healthy energy for the long run of life. You guys can find
1:22.5	Clean Energy's incredible product at clean smoothie.com and on Amazon by searching for clean energy smoothie.
1:30.3	Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another episode of the Running Effect podcast with Dominic
