Show Notes
Most companies bet everything on one big launch.
Doug Lamont thinks that’s how you kill growth.
In this clip, the former CEO of Tony's Chocolonely and Innocent Drinks breaks down a radically different way to scale — one built on rolling innovation, layered bets, and removing fear from failure.
Instead of over-researching, over-launching, and over-spending, Doug explains why the smartest brands:
- test cheaply
- back winners late
- kill losers fast
and never rely on a single “big idea” to carry the business
From product launches to international expansion, this is a masterclass in how real growth actually happens — especially from £100m → £500m+.
