"“I think it's OK to live in chaos,” Ellsworth told The Wall Street Journal in a candid interview. “A lot of people talk about work-life balance. I think if you want to be successful, you kind of have to sacrifice that.”"

"The 39-year-old Austin entrepreneur landed her big break while nine months pregnant on “Shark Tank,” securing a $400,000 investment from Rohan Oza that helped transform her apple-cider-vinegar beverage into a soda empire. Since the PepsiCo exit, Ellsworth has upgraded her house, bought homes for her mom and aunt, and now drives a $180,000 Cadillac Escalade."
"She spent roughly $27,000 on a stylist and recently took a $1 million family vacation to Europe. “What's the point of having all this money if we can't have fun with it?” she said."
Allison Ellsworth, co-founder of Poppi, rejects the idea of work-life balance. She describes success as requiring sacrifice, including taking business calls from a hospital bed after giving birth and breastfeeding during Zoom meetings. She became widely known while nine months pregnant on Shark Tank, where she secured a $400,000 investment that helped grow her apple-cider-vinegar beverage into a soda business. After selling the company to PepsiCo for $1.95 billion, she and her husband became centimillionaires. She used the proceeds to upgrade her lifestyle, support family, hire a stylist, and take a $1 million vacation, emphasizing that money should be used for enjoyment.
