	EP 116: John Fieldly (CEO, Celsius) How He Saved Celsius From Near Bankruptcy to a $10B Company	30 Aug 2024	01:06:53
Many know Celsius as a top energy drink brand today, but few are aware of the tumultuous journey CEO John Fieldly took to get it here.

Despite these challenges, John stepped up to rebuild the brand to the nearly $10B company it is today.
