That observation eventually became the foundation for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sportcoffee.com\/?srsltid=AfmBOorWUSVhTcZ7-5ypvFjNqzGemwrNs1VIdfnRJi-JV980Cts9iNxn\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throne Sport Coffee<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a ready-to-drink coffee designed specifically for people who demand more from their daily fuel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It also attracted one of the biggest names in sports. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All-pro quarterback <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/athletes-celebrities\/interviews\/patrick-mahomes-i-have-to-keep-getting-better-every-single-year\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patrick Mahomes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> didn\u2019t simply lend his likeness to the company; he became its lead investor, second-largest shareholder, and one of its most involved partners.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Why Throne Sport Coffee Exists<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fedele\u2019s years at BodyArmor taught him that successful products solve obvious problems consumers haven\u2019t fully recognized yet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When he started researching the ready-to-drink coffee category, one statistic stood out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe No. 1 ready-to-drink coffee in America comes in a glass bottle, has around 300 calories and 46 grams of sugar,\u201d he says. \u201cI kept asking myself, if so many athletes and active people drink coffee every day, why isn\u2019t there a better option?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of creating another energy drink, Fedele wanted to improve something millions of people were already consuming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That philosophy shaped every decision behind Throne Sport Coffee.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather than relying on artificial ingredients or excessive sugar, the beverages feature 150 milligrams of natural caffeine, natural flavors and sweeteners, while the latte lineup also delivers 10 grams of protein from ultra-filtered lactose-free milk. The cold brew varieties remain dairy-free for athletes and consumers looking for a lighter option.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cEverything in the product is purposeful,\u201d says Fedele. \u201cWe wanted to create something people could feel good about putting into their bodies.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Patrick Mahomes Is More Than a Celebrity Investor<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Celebrity partnerships have become commonplace in the beverage industry, but Fedele insists Mahomes\u2019 role extends far beyond marketing campaigns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before launching the company, Fedele shared the concept with the three-time Super Bowl champion, expecting simple feedback. Instead, Mahomes immediately asked for samples.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHe told me, \u2018I drink coffee four or five times a day for exactly this reason,&#8217;\u201d Fedele recalls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That enthusiasm quickly evolved into a genuine business partnership.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption \">\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:56.266907123535%;\" class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\"><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"credit\">Throne<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mahomes reviews product innovations before launch, provides feedback on flavors, joins meetings with retailers, and actively participates in the company\u2019s long-term strategy. Fedele remembers one day that perfectly illustrates Mahomes\u2019 commitment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After completing a morning rehab session in Kansas City, the Chiefs quarterback flew to Los Angeles to join Fedele on stage at a major beverage conference. Following their presentation, Mahomes spent hours meeting privately with retailers before flying home that same evening so he could return to rehab the next morning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf that doesn\u2019t tell you his dedication to building this thing,\u201d Fedele says, \u201cI\u2019m incredibly grateful to have him on board.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Designed for Performance, Not Just the Gym<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Patrick Mahomes is one of the most recognizable athletes in the world, Michael Fedele says the newest Throne Sport Coffee campaign isn\u2019t about showcasing the quarterback; it\u2019s about highlighting the many roles people play every day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Launching as the company\u2019s biggest marketing campaign to date, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBetter Fuel for Every You\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> centers around the idea that no one is defined by a single identity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn this world, one version of you doesn\u2019t cut it,\u201d Fedele says. \u201cNo one\u2019s just one thing. Everyone is multifaceted.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The campaign uses Mahomes as the perfect example. He\u2019s a Super Bowl champion, but he\u2019s also a father, businessman, investor, leader, teammate, and mentor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather than focusing solely on game day, the campaign follows the different versions of Mahomes throughout his day, positioning Throne Sport Coffee as the fuel that supports each one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe whole campaign leans into the multiple versions of Patrick,\u201d Fedele explains. \u201cIt\u2019s really about showing that Throne is the better fuel for every version of you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of relying on a massive television advertising budget, the startup brand is taking a digital-first approach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Fedele, success isn\u2019t measured by flashy commercials. It\u2019s about introducing consumers to a healthier ready-to-drink coffee option and getting cans into people\u2019s hands one customer at a time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOur goal is driving awareness that Throne Sport Coffee exists, educating people that we\u2019re a better-for-you ready-to-drink coffee, and ultimately getting them to try it,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Eliminating the Energy Drink Crash<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Performance-minded consumers have become increasingly skeptical of high-stimulant energy drinks loaded with sugar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fedele wanted Throne Sport Coffee to offer sustained energy instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The formula intentionally contains 150 milligrams of caffeine, enough to improve focus and performance without venturing into the 200-to-300-milligram territory common among many energy drinks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe landed on 150 milligrams by design,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s enough to sustain performance without creating that crash.\u201d Consumers have noticed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe\u2019ve had people specifically ask where our coffee beans come from because they tell us they don\u2019t experience the crash they get from other products.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Fedele, that feedback validates the company\u2019s original mission.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Winning Consumers One Sip at a Time<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, Throne Sport Coffee is available in nearly 20,000 retail locations, including Whole Foods, CVS, Kroger, and several regional grocery chains across the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet Fedele says distribution numbers aren\u2019t what motivates him most.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMy biggest win is changing the hearts and minds of consumers,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The company regularly samples products at 5K races, pickleball tournaments, half marathons, and community events, collecting real-time feedback from everyday consumers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those conversations often become internal discussions that continue throughout the weekend as the team shares reactions, favorite flavors, and purchasing questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou\u2019ve got to eat, sleep, and breathe it,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Building the Next Great Beverage Brand<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having helped build one iconic beverage company before launching another, Fedele credits much of his success to passion, collaboration, and maintaining belief during difficult moments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every startup experiences setbacks. The companies that survive are the ones willing to listen, adapt, and continue improving.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOur formula today isn\u2019t the same formula we launched with,\u201d he says. \u201cYou put products into the market, you listen to consumer feedback, and you continue to get better.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That philosophy extends beyond beverages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asked what advice he would give aspiring entrepreneurs hoping to build the next great performance brand, Fedele doesn\u2019t hesitate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBelieve in what you\u2019re doing,\u201d he says. \u201cEverybody will think you\u2019re crazy at first, and hopefully you are. Continue to push, persevere, take consumer feedback, continue to get better, and do everything you can to make your business a success.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Fedele, that\u2019s exactly how billion-dollar brands and potentially category-changing ones are built.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/athletes-celebrities\/interviews\/michael-fedele-is-rewriting-coffees-playbook-with-throne-sports-coffee\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There aren\u2019t many executives who can say they helped build a billion-dollar beverage company before deciding to start over.
