What if the secret to winning in CPG wasn't chasing the next trend – but staying focused on simple ingredients, a clear brand promise, and flawless execution? In this episode, Jeff Richards, founder and CEO of plant-based milk brand Mooala, explains how a commitment to organic sourcing, clear positioning, and a disciplined retail strategy helped transform a scrappy startup into one of the category's fastest-growing companies – even as the plant-based industry around it raced to reinvent itself. Show notes: 0:20: Jeff Richards, Founder & CEO, Mooala – Jeff reflects on his participation in BevNET Live's New Beverage Showdown in 2017 and discusses leaving investment banking to pursue an opportunity he saw in almond milk. He talks about Mooala's distinctive organic almond and banana milks and explains how the brand differentiated itself through organic certification, ingredient transparency, and flavor-forward formulations. He opens up about the challenges of educating consumers, refining Mooala's packaging, and adapting its messaging as shopper priorities evolved. He also details the realities of scaling a refrigerated beverage brand, from securing early wins with retailers such as Whole Foods, Costco, H-E-B, and Wegmans to navigating distribution, pricing, and marketing constraints with limited resources. Jeff shares lessons from fundraising, including the risks of raising capital before establishing product-market fit, and reflects on the rise and subsequent correction of the plant-based category. Looking back, he emphasizes the importance of incremental improvement, disciplined innovation, and patience, noting that Mooala's recent success stems from the alignment of strong products, clear brand messaging, organic positioning, and growing consumer demand. Brands in this episode: Mooala, Silk, Blue Diamond, Deep Eddy Vodka, Oatly, Ripple

What if the biggest obstacle to building a successful business isn't strategy, but the story you're telling yourself? In this episode, Blue Diamond leader Kelly Mallinson shares how a simple mindset shift helped her overcome discouragement, rebuild momentum, and continue growing her doTERRA business after nearly a decade in the profession. Listeners will learn practical strategies for enrolling customers, finding builders, following up effectively, hosting local events, and staying focused when results don't come as quickly as expected. Kelly opens up about her journey from stay-at-home mom and former psychiatric nurse to successful business leader. She shares how personal product experiences sparked her belief in the products, why action always beats overthinking, and how gratitude and mindset have played a critical role in her growth. If you've ever questioned whether you can build the business you want, this conversation will remind you that success often begins with a decision. Key Takeaways: Success starts with mindset. Your beliefs often determine your results before your strategy does. Consistent action is more important than endless learning. Income-producing activities create momentum. Follow-up matters. Many potential customers simply need additional touchpoints and conversations. Finding builders requires asking directly and creating opportunities for people to see what's possible.

Las sanciones de EE.UU. contra el conglomerado militar Gaesa precipitan la salida de cadenas como Meliá, Iberostar y Blue Diamond, en un momento en el que el turismo cubano atraviesa una de sus peores crisis.

La cadena hotelera española Meliá anunció este miércoles 3 de junio el cese inmediato de su operación de 15 hoteles en la isla. Previamente, el también español Iberostar había anunciado que dejaría de administrar otra decena de hoteles y la cadena canadiense Blue Diamond hizo lo propio. La Administración Trump dio hasta el 5 de junio próximo para que estas firmas demuestren que no tienen lazos con el Grupo de Administración Empresarial S.A. (Gaesa), controlado por militares.

EE.UU. amenazó con sanciones a todas las compañías que tuvieran vínculos con el congloremaro empresarial de las Fuerzas Armadas cubanas.

Mel Machado joins the Journey to provide a wide-ranging “state of the almond orchard” discussion. Machado is the Chief Agricultural Officer at Blue Diamond Growers and discusses the current challenging grower economics, the decline in almond acreage, the decision to end the objective estimate and some of his thoughts on pollination, cover crops, bee health and more. In addition to his 34-year career at Blue Diamond, Machado also serves as an alternate on the Almond Board of California and holds positions on the Production Stewardship Workgroup and Strategic Ag Innovation Committee.“Excell at the basics. You can have all the fancy stuff in the world like remote sensing tools. But if the nutrition's not right, if the water's not right, you're going to have a problem.

What happens when the business you built to protect your family becomes the very thing that holds you together when that family falls apart? In this episode, Andy Goddard sits down with Cachay Wyson, a doTERRA Blue Diamond with 16 years in the business, for one of the most honest and vulnerable conversations we've had on this show. Cachay shares how she built her business while hiding a pregnancy, quit and came back while racing to Blue Diamond in 28 days, and then watched her entire "why" collapse during a devastating divorce two years ago. Today she's rebuilding slowly, intentionally, and authentically, and she has a lot to say about what really matters. Whether you're just starting out, coming back after a hard season, or wondering why your leaders have gone quiet, this episode will remind you why your integrity is your greatest business asset.  

Sherrie's journey into doTERRA was not a polished one. She stumbled into enrollment after buying a homemade roller bottle for her husband's allergies, could not find anyone willing to sign her up, and eventually paid $35 for a wholesale account thinking it was like a Sam's Club membership. With no oils, no upline support, and no computer, she taught her first class from handwritten notes she pulled together after Googling "how to teach a doTERRA class." What she lacked in knowledge she made up for in passion, and that passion is what built her business in the early years. The road to Blue Diamond was far from straight. Sherrie hit Gold, then toggled between Gold and Diamond for years while navigating a serious antibiotic reaction that affected her nervous system, the passing of a close Platinum leader on her team, and deep personal confidence struggles. She had never seen herself as a leader. The turning point came when she stopped and invested heavily in personal development through books, prayer, and growth programs before re-committing to the business with full clarity about who she was and what she was building. The systems that ultimately carried her to Blue Diamond are refreshingly simple. She runs customer appreciation events quarterly, uses a paper checklist to onboard every new enrollee, schedules the membership overview before anyone leaves the room, and runs a six-day Oil Camp program every other month to keep customers engaged and loyal. Her PGV has stayed above 2,000 consistently, a reflection of how seriously she takes retention over raw enrollment numbers. A few standout moments from this episode: Sherrie's first thought when she hit Diamond was "Oh no, I'm going to have to wear high heels now." She met a new builder at a customer appreciation event who had tried the business years earlier and came back, leading to her Diamond qualification. Her grandson's anxiety and OCD transformed after starting omegas, Adaptiv, and Serenity, which deepened her conviction about sharing these products with others.

Another classic recast! One of the craziest stories from recent Thai history. Continuing our series on interesting episodes in Thai history, this episode focuses on the infamous Blue Diamond Affair, It all started when a Thai gardener named Kriangkrai Techamon, who was working in Saudi Arabia, decided to make off with $20 million worth of gems and jewelry belonging to a Saudi royal. Although the thief was caught shortly after his return to Thailand, he had already sold much of the loot, including the famed 50 karat 'Blue Diamond.' No problem - the gems were returned to Saudi Arabia and an apology issued. Case closed! BUT! Soon after the treasure was returned, Saudi authorities claimed that over half of the returned gems were fake, including the Blue Diamond. The Saudi authorities sent a special team of investigators to Bangkok to investigate...and what followed was a tale of murder, kidnapping, and black magic, with the ultimate result being a near-total diplomatic breakdown between the two countries that continues to this day (update - diplomatic relations were restored in 2022). It's a plot almost too twisty for Hollywood, but listen in for details on one of the strangest episodes in Thai history.  As always, the podcast will continue to be 100% funded by listeners just like you who get some special swag from us. And we'll keep our Facebook, Twitter, and LINE accounts active so you can send us comments, questions, or whatever you want to share.Bangkok History Highlight: The Blue Diamond Affair

Many punters have noted the absence of Luke Currie from the Melbourne riding ranks in recent weeks. The popular jockey has simply taken advantage of the off-season period to attend to a nagging knee issue he's been dealing with for quite some time.  He's making great progress and hopes to return to the saddle in just a few weeks. Luke Currie has had a presence among Victoria's top bracket of riders for close to three decades posting more than 1500 winners with 13 Gr 1's prominent on his CV. He's been on our podcast shortlist for a long time and we've been able to make it happen during his current layoff. Luke begins by tendering a full report on his troublesome knee. He says the timing of his hiatus wasn't ideal. He'd been riding winners everywhere. The jockey looks back on his Tasmanian upbringing and an early apprenticeship to his father Ricky. He looks back on a couple of winners in his home state. The system was such that any Tasmanian wins would have had an effect on his Victorian claim. He had to relocate as soon as possible.  Luke looks back on his time with trainer and former champion jockey Pat Hyland. He talks of a transfer to Robbie Griffiths in the latter stages of his apprenticeship, and the golden opportunity he was given by his new boss. The high profile jockey looks back on a six race association with champion mare Makybe Diva. Luke remembers his first Gr 1 success on hardy gelding Roman Arch in the famous Toorak Hcp. He pays tribute to mentor, confidant and friend the late Deane Lester. He reminisces about two C.F Orr victories on Suavito and Manuel. The jockey pays a heartfelt tribute to brilliant mare Sunlight  who provided him with ten wins including two Gr 1's. He recalls her fighting effort to beat some star colts in the Coolmore Stud Stakes.  Luke marvels at the mind boggling money generated by Sunlight and her relatives in the sale ring. Currie will always have a soft spot for Hey Doc. He rode the sprinter-miler 27 times for 8 wins including 4 Gr 1's. He reviews his two memorable Blue Diamond wins on Lyre and Artorius. Luke says he was thrilled to win the 2021 Newmarket for old friend Matthew Ellerton. He agrees his McKinnon Stakes win on Arcadia Queen was perhaps the easiest elite level win he's ever been involved with. Luke looks back on his Hong Kong experience at the height of the covid pandemic. He won at his first race ride, but everything went “belly up” from there. He says there was one memorable development during his time in Hong Kong when invited to fly home to ride Mr. Brightside in the All Star Mile at Moonee Valley. The story had a happy ending. Luke pays tribute to his girls- wife Sophia and daughters Mia and Miley.  This is a laid back chat with a Melbourne jockey whose reputation for hard work and reliability precedes him wherever he goes. 

On this week's MyAgLife in Almonds episode, Blue Diamond Growers' Mel Machado discusses the latest crop progress report for California almond orchards, which saw mild weather and early hull split, prompting targeted pest control as growers maintained irrigation, managed orchard floors and took proactive steps to combat navel orangeworm, fungal diseases and other pests.Supporting the People who Support AgricultureThank you to this month's sponsors who makes it possible to get you your daily news.

Blue Diamond has announced plans to wind down operations at its plant in Sacramento, California, cutting some 600 jobs in the process. The company says it was founded in 1910 to "ensure the long-term success of small, multigenerational almond farmers and their families in California."To keep that mission on track, the company must shutter its plant in midtown Sacramento, transferring most manufacturing operations from its 53-acre-site to facilities in Turlock and Salida, California.

Today's episode is dedicated to a gem that is probably more famous for the rumors and often false history surrounding it then its own beauty... The Hope Diamond.  The Hope Diamond is now known to have been cut from a gem owned by the Royal Family of France and looted during the early days of the revolution.  A lore of the cure of the Hope Diamond made it famous and it now resides in the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C. where it can be visited by the public.  Take a listen to our podcast and learn a bit about the history of the stone and the rumors of the curse that is supposed to follow it.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Masonic and satanic ritual abuse, MK ULTRA and child trafficking survivor, overcomer and whistleblower, qualified Survival Instructor, Instructor for Hostile Environment Awareness Training, alpine climber, Tibetan medicine practitioner, adventure sport instructor, outdoor lover, my new friend, and all around badass and inspiration, LouLou was born into a multi-generational incest-based, bloodline family and is a survivor of the highest levels of Masonic and satanic ritual abuse and mind control and was the daughter of a channeler and healer mother and a father who was former Merchant Navy, worked at Shirley Oaks Children's home as a maintenance worker and builder, and who was a former model with celebrity friends like David Prowse who played Darth Vader in Star Wars. In early childhood, Lou was accepted into special school called Pilgrims as a child after testing off the charts for her IQ. Pilgrims was a school for children like her that had eczema, asthma and other conditions who were often used in medical research and experimentation among other types of child abuse. She realized at age 9 she had forgotten her past when on a live talk show she was asked a question about a childhood event and couldn't remember anything at all. Her mother's decades long friendship with a Grand Master Knight of Malta named Andrew Bertie led to further Lou's abuse and programming. She also was used for covert missions in her late teens and twenties - going to places like Lake Erie and the ecovillage of Canada where she was taught by people who had come up from a CIA training base. She also attended events as a child at Westminster Abbey with the Duchess of Kent and Pinewood Studios. After Lou's father died when she was 30, she discovered photos and exploitation material he had taken of her as a child, and it was then she discovered she had dissociation. Lou has done extensive healing and learning over the past few years to better understand what happened to her as a child and is still on her healing journey. Today is the first time Lou is publicly speaking out about what happened to her as a child and it's a great honor we get to learn about and hear her testimony for the first time. Lou believes its important people know the truth about the Grandmaster and Masonic orders practicing old Babylonian magic and every tradition - especially the left-hand path. There is such a veil over the eyes of society that such heinous abuse, crime and corruption could be at the highest levels of these secret societies and it's testimonies like Lou's that will help lift that veil from everyone's eyes. Lou is so brave and courageous for coming forth to share her testimony and I ask you all to please put away whatever you are doing give her your full attention as we shine a light on some dark topics and expose what's been hidden for far too long. It's time to make the world a better place for the children of the present and future and it's heroes like Lou who are going to make this dream a reality.CONNECT WITH LOU: Twitter: https://x.com/LouiseBrookes8CONNECT WITH THE IMAGINATION:EMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationAll Links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastSupport the show
