Alex Dorr: Building & Scaling Mushroom Revival
Alex Dorr is the Founder and CEO of Mushroom Revival, one of the quintessential purveyors of premium quality functional mushroom products the world over. He is also the host of the #1 mushroom podcast in the world, called - wait for it - Mushroom Revival.
And above and beyond all that, Alex is just a solid dude who is obsessed with the power of cordyceps and mushrooms in general.
Alex has all kinds of mushroom juju and creative energies afloat, educating the world about the power and the efficacy of fruiting body tinctures and planting a tree for every single product sold -- more than 45,000 trees to date. Alex has a goal of planting one million trees via Mushroom Revival and their commitment to reforestation.
I can also say Alex has been extremely supportive of the Mycopreneur Podcast and completely earnest in his willingness to support our own little corner of the mushroom universe here, and that means the world to us.
Today we’re going to talk about his entre into the world of mushrooms, we’re talking mycoremediation and it’s vast potential (and also it’s practical limitations), we’re talking the science of cordyceps, we’re talking how he scaled mushroom revival, we’re talking transparency in business culture, a little bit of mushroom history, and a lot more juicy morels of mycopreneial wisdom and demystification.
