Ep. 210 | He Built the World’s Most Popular Weighted Blanket—Then Sold It for $50M
Ever sold your dog for a fat check and got a standing ovation for it?
That’s how Aaron Spivak describes selling the company he built from scratch into a $50M powerhouse.
In this episode of The Liquid Lunch Project, Matt and Luigi sit down with Aaron, the DJ-turned-juice-slinger-turned-weighted-blanket-mogul, to unpack how grit, delusion, and one viral Kickstarter helped him build Hush, one of the top DTC brands in Canada.
He dives into the real emotional cost of selling a business, why customer conversations are his secret weapon, and how Founders Club is helping entrepreneurs get real support.

The stroke that changed everything…and how a side hustle became a lifeline
Why Aaron still DJed after hitting $25M in revenue
The secret power of calling every single customer (yes, really)
How to turn a blanket into a movement (and a $50M exit)
What Dragon’s Den taught him about performance, not pitching
The real emotional chaos of selling your “business baby”
Why Founders Club isn’t another BS mastermind — and who it’s really for
