The Unfiltered Rise of One Trick Pony with Lucy Dana

From Uber to Blue Bottle to peanut butter powerhouse— Lucy Dana’s journey is all grit, vision, and a love for doing things differently.

In our interview, Lucy shares how she built a brand rooted in quality and fun — and why the new packaging feels like the perfect reflection of the bold, playful spirit behind One Trick Pony. Trust me: this isn’t your average PB jar. It’s smooth, it’s gritty (in all the right ways), and it’s here to shake up the aisle.
