SOLO EPISODE - THRIVE BRAND NUGGETS: How to pivot your brand but maintain your brand ethics. Episode 3 of my Brand Nuggets Show... Covered in this episode: The current situation worldwide with Covid 19 has shocked us all. But, it’s also pushed us towards absolute creativity and into problem solving mode. When we’re forced to think outside of the box and to not have time to question and assess our ideas - good things happen. In this episode - I look at a few of the brands that are certainly not in hibernation just now, in fact these brands have pivoted and are thriving. Robustness & agility. I’ve talked about the ability to pivot before and now, more than ever if you need to pivot you have to pivot quickly. How to pivot your business and brand but stay true to your brand ethics and mission. Why - difficulty generating sustainable revenue in your industry market When - before the above happens ;) How - step 1 - look at your user base, your existing audience, who are they and what do they want? How can you deliver the current service/products that you currently offer in a different way? Can you package the products up differently, or deliver differently, can you add. “Change happens very quickly, and brilliant brands are either able to stay up with that change or even be ahead of the curve.” Listen in and head over to the Thrive Brand Academy Facebook group - I’d love to hear if you have changed or redirected your business and brand during these times.

Finding a sustainable supplier is key - research and go and visit suppliers Omega 6 and Omega 3 are out of balance in the Western world. Our diets are filled with Omega 6 via veg oil production and processed foods. Omega 3’s come from oily fish and this doesn’t play such a bold part in our diet these days! Quotes: “ The smaller the wild fish then the lower the contamination levels” “It’s ok to put your eggs in one basket as long as you look after those eggs really well!” “Consumers are changing their priorities, choice is becoming much more important for individuals, and for the environment” “Fresh fish is just not so abundant in our diets these days and so omega 3’s have to come from other routes” Find out more from Melanie and Bare Biologyhttps://www.barebiology.com/pages/our-story https://www.instagram.com/barebiology/ https://twitter.com/BareBiology   More from Thrive: http://thrive-magazine.co.uk https://thrive-magazine.co.uk/our-mission/ https://www.instagram.com/thrivemagazine/   Thrive Magazine - Become a Healthy Brand Partner for 2019 here >>   What does it mean to be an ethical business?

IntroductionWelcome back to the Ethical Entrepreneurs Podcast, on the show this week we have Scott Russell, co-founder and CEO of Paddy & Scotts Coffee. I love the ethics, the background and the growth of this company. So, welcome to the show Scott…   What we cover in this episode: How with huge growth brings huge challenges in supply chain management.Coffee is the second most traded commodity to oil - why it’s important to look after the farmers. Supply chains don’t have to be elongated - simplify it. Build a model that lets your customers deal direct with the producers. How telling the stories of your producers can help build the relationship between brand and consumer. We’re quite happy to pay £3 for a coffee but the farmers get probably as little as 3p for that crop. King Charles banned coffee shops in 18th century as he seen them as places of scheming and planning!   Quotes: “What we do is to use the whole crop of coffee - so it is much more sustainable”. “The farm is broken down into 6500 membership plots - each membership is a tangible tree! It’s a direct collaboration between the farmer and the consumer”. “It’s much more than business, but we’re a commercial business. Big business doesn’t have to be bad!” “Consumers are savvy now and they understand - authenticity is the big currency”.   Find out more from Scott and Paddy & Scotts Coffeehttps://www.paddyandscotts.co.uk/about-us https://www.instagram.com/paddyandscotts/?hl=en https://twitter.com/PaddyandScotts https://www.facebook.com/paddyandscotts/   More from Thrive: http://thrive-magazine.co.uk https://thrive-magazine.co.uk/our-mission/ https://www.instagram.com/thrivemagazine/   Thrive Magazine - Become a Healthy Brand Partner for 2019 here >>   What does it mean to be an ethical business?

Julianne is the youngest winner of the National Natwest Everywoman Award plus she’s a keynote speaker and Virgin Start-up Mentor and has just made the Forbes 30 under 30 list.

It's also known as anaphylactic shock. Being adaptable is key when running a small business and understanding your finances is crucial. You need to really consider who you bring into your business, they need to live the products and understand the mission to the core. Why you have to support your supply chain, farmers and growers are key and they have to be supported. Entrepreneurship is not as easy as it looks. How being part of a community and support other entrepreneurs can build such powerful connections. Quotes: “We always had an aim to help the farmers and growers, our supply trade is absolutely key to us. We support the famers 100% and make sure that they are all paid fairly” “I always used to be shy about all of the good things we were doing, but I’ve learnt you have to blow your own trumpet. Promote the good stuff you’re doing and you’ll grow”. “If you physically go and surround yourself with fellow entrepreneurs, you’ll learn so much”. “I hope that these big brands make the changes in an ethical way, and not just jumping on the bandwagon”.   Find out more from Julianne http://www.julianneponan.com https://www.creativenaturesuperfoods.co.uk https://twitter.com/JuliannePonan https://www.instagram.com/julianne.ponan/ More from Thrive: http://thrive-magazine.co.uk https://thrive-magazine.co.uk/our-mission/ https://www.instagram.com/thrivemagazine/   Thrive Magazine - Become a Healthy Brand Partner for 2019 here >>   What does it mean to be an ethical business?

Welcome back to the Ethical Entrepreneurs Podcast, on the show today we have registered nutritional therapist - Sandra Greenbank. Sandra focuses on nutrition and fertility and as well as running her own nutritional practice,  she’s also a renowned speaker and runs nutrition based workshops throughout the UK. Welcome Sandra... What we discuss: How one life changing session with a nutritional therapist completely changed her life direction. How the body is self-healing when it’s in it’s ultimate state. Once you look to adopt a healthy diet pre-pregnancy, then that carries through to your children and all future generations too. Nutritional therapy is always personalised and DNA testing is a part of understanding long-term health. But, it’s a new area and we are still understanding the implications and level of details that it gives. If you are using any of the home DNA kits, make sure to be aware of where your data is going and how it is being used. The trouble with generic treatment is we are 100% unique, that’s why programmes have to be 100% tailored to the person. Quotes: “Working with friends and family can be the hardest thing to ever take on. You just can’t heal your friends and family!” “I actually pinch myself every morning, because I love my work so much - it’s so rewarding.” “There’s so many good things about the amount of information available, but there’s a downside as it is causing confusion too.” “The trouble with online info is that there’s a lot of people out there having success and then telling others to do the same. But, maybe it was what that 1 person needed - it may not be right from you”! “I would always say don’t buy your supplements from a mainstream pharmacy - go to an independent retailer or via your nutritionist”.   Find out more from Sandra http://sandragreenbank.com/ https://www.facebook.com/Greenbank.nutrition/ https://twitter.com/GreenbankSandra https://www.instagram.com/sandragreenbank_nutrition/   More from Thrive: http://thrive-magazine.co.uk https://thrive-magazine.co.uk/our-mission/ https://www.instagram.com/thrivemagazine/   Thrive Magazine - Become a Healthy Brand Partner for 2019 here >> What does it mean to be an ethical business?

I’m Sue Hay - Editor and CEO of Thrive Magazine. I’m really excited about today's guest. She is a Welsh, British and Spanish Open Karate Knockdown Champion and holds a silver medal in Full Contact Knockdown Karate. Plus she has over 20 years experience as  a behavioural change specialist supporting people to improve their lifestyle and maximise their performance. Heads up: this episode has a little bit of echo at the beginning - but it improves at 1:45s   What we discuss: How finding your own kind of movement is key to making it a long term habit. Empowerment and how acting early on a problem or issue is claiming your power over the situation. How to form healthy habits and have a mental checklist to bring yourself back to a calm state of mind. How a walking meeting was radicle back 10-15 years ago! Whereas now, it’s being adopted more and more. How it’s become a modern day problem that we have to make a conscious choice to move. Are your day-to-day behaviours matching what is important to you?   Quotes: “Empowerment, is about being a lot more proactive with people, I want to act and help people before a serious problem arises, to motivate them to take action early” “You can’t make people change, you can inspire people about change, but it’s about building their motivation and confidence, to allow them make the change they want.” “I choose to be around people who inspire me - your network and the people you surround yourself with is really important” “I want people to have the right knowledge on mindset and help them to act on it” “I still think a lot of work is to be done in businesses about the importance of movement. Businesses want the research and stats, on how it afters their staff.” “It’s about making small steps and changing small behaviours to form longer term habits”.   Find out more from Emma and Performance Circle: https://performancecircle.co.uk http://emmahowellsdavies.co.uk/   Follow Emma on social media:https://twitter.com/PerformanceCirc https://www.facebook.com/performancecirc/   More from Thrive: http://thrive-magazine.co.uk https://thrive-magazine.co.uk/our-mission/ https://www.instagram.com/thrivemagazine/   Thrive Magazine - Become a Healthy Brand Partner for 2019 here >>   What does it mean to be an ethical business?

I’m Sue Hay - Editor and CEO of Thrive Magazine. I’m really excited to have Joe Welstead on the Ethical Entrepreneur Podcast. Joe competed for Scotland in the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, he’s a professional swimmer and Co-founder of Motion Nutrition. As a professional athlete, Joe found it extremely frustrating that so many sports supplements were made using low quality, artificial ingredients, with little concern for the user’s long-term health. And so along with his business partner Charlie they launched Motion Nutrition - to offer real-food based organic certified sports supplements. What we discuss: Nutrition for high level performance - to be on top of your game. Ways to find quality and expert information on health & nutrition. How solving a problem is key to launching your ethical business. The biggest takeaways and life lessons from running a health based business. How can we help people have healthy relationships with those around them? Ways to transfer to a more ethical based packaging for your products. Quotes: “We’re faced now with such an influx of information, on any given day we’re bombarded with new information. This is now one of the biggest challenges we have - we want to help people deal with this better” “Spend time with the people that you love.” “I’ve learnt recently about a new technique called animal flow - which is a great way to get some movement in your day and it’s the perfect antidote to sitting at a desk all day” “You don’t need to do it like everybody else, but you do need to move, you need to find what works for you” “It’s a real challenge to make a products packaging useful to the user and also environmentally friendly” “You need to have empathy - you need to understand as an entrepreneur what will improve people's lives” Motion Nutrition website: https://www.motionnutrition.com/ Follow Joe on social media:https://twitter.com/JoeWelstead Book reference in the show: Notes on a Nervous Planet by Matt Haig.
