S14 E9 SharkNinja’s Playbook for Relentless Innovation (and FOMO), with Mark Barrocas

In this episode of FOMO Sapiens, Patrick McGinnis sits down with Mark Barrocas, CEO of SharkNinja, to explore how the company transformed from a small appliance player into a global innovation powerhouse. Barrocas explains how SharkNinja’s consumer-obsessed culture drives every breakthrough—from identifying overlooked frustrations to designing products that cross the “threshold of viral.” He also shares how lessons from failure, like the Shark MultiVac, led to some of their biggest wins, and why adaptability is their competitive advantage. This conversation offers a rare look inside one of the world’s most agile and creative consumer brands, and the leadership mindset that keeps it growing. Learn more about your ad choices.
