This is one of our favourite interviews EVER! In this very special LIVE edition of Brand Growth Heroes, recorded at Bread & Jam Fest 2025, Fiona Fitz sits down in front of a live audience with the absolutely brilliant and hilariously honest Juliet Barratt, co-founder of the category-defining sports nutrition brand, Grenade. Juliet shares the fab story of how she and then-partner Al Barrett took Grenade from the back of a big night out in Birmingham to the shelves of Tesco, WHSmith and petrol stations across the UK, and ultimately to a £200M exit to Mondelez - without ever compromising on what made them different.If this episode inspires you to think about new ways to drive business growth, PLEASE could you click FOLLOW or SUBSCRIBE on your favourite podcast app and leave a review, AND share it with a fellow founder - it could help them too!The conversation covers so much - from how branding (and “weirdness!”) can be a superpower, to the moment they realised their “retire-on-a-beach” plan was delusional, to driving a tank into BodyPower Expo (yes, really) to get noticed by GNC. Juliet also opens up about how being “all in” meant no days off for four years, about hiring people who weren't “knobs,” and about what it really felt like when the money landed in her bank account after the deal closed, and interestingly, why it WASN'T the moment of glory people imagine!She also shares her views on today's funding-obsessed food and drink ecosystem, and why she believes too many founders are chasing other people's stories instead of writing their own.Wait for it...Juliet also shares her (perhaps controversial?!) views on the 'female founder' movement - we'd love to know what you think (if you're listening on Spotify, you can comment below!)Juliet's energy is infectious, her insight razor-sharp, and her advice unmissable for any challenger brand founder.And yes, we talk about the Oreo bar. (Don't eat five a day. Just… don't.) PS: Don't miss the audience questions at the end.

On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, I'm joined by Stephen Williamson, Co-Founder and CEO of Forager Project—the family-owned, organic, dairy-free creamery crafting premium yogurts, milks, and creamers from cashews and coconuts. Founded in 2013 with his stepson, JC Hanley, Forager Project was born from a bold mission: to flip the dairy model so plants make up 85% of global consumption instead of just 15%.Before launching Forager Project, Stephen served as Chairman and CEO of Odwalla, helping grow the brand into a $400 million fresh juice leader before its acquisition by Coca-Cola. Guided by a deep commitment to organic ingredients, sustainability, and his “soil to soul” philosophy, Stephen is reshaping what dairy can mean for people and the planet.In our conversation, Stephen shares how his experiences at Odwalla influenced Forager's creation, why he bet early on building his own manufacturing plant, and the strategies that helped scale the brand to over 10,000 stores nationwide. We also dive into the challenges of perfecting plant-based Greek-style yogurt, the role of conscious capitalism in decision-making, and how Forager continues to innovate in a crowded plant-based market.If you're curious about the future of dairy, scaling a mission-driven food brand, or how to lead with values while winning on taste—this episode is packed with insight.

In 1985, Coca-Cola changed its flavour. You probably know that this was a complete failure. ‘New Coke' was discontinued after just 79 days. But you probably don't know the true reason why New Coke failed. Many claim it was due to poor market research, but today's guest on Nudge, leading consumer behaviour expert Philip Graves, disagrees. Philip says New Coke failed not because the research was poor, but because market research is inherently flawed. Want to understand the biggest marketing blunder of the century?

Talk to enough beverage industry oldheads…and eventually a few will share their “rise and fall” thoughts on The Coca-Cola Company's Venturing and Emerging Brands (VEB) unit. Launched in 2007, the VEB business unit was tasked with identifying and supporting the growth of beverage brands with billion-dollar potential through investment or acquisition. Essentially, VEB was a way for the beverage giant to better manage smaller brands…allowing them to move quicker (and fail faster). But judging VEB can drastically change based on snapshots over time and if you're holding The Coca-Cola Company to this absurd standard that success only means billion-dollar generational brands. So, maybe you could point to relative miscalculations with cold-pressed juice brand Suja or the more recent shuttering of Honest Tea or ZICO coconut water…but when talking about corporate venture capital, it only takes a massive success to balance everything out! And when we mention The Coca-Cola Company's VEB business unit…you can't overlook fairlife, which is now the fast-growing billion-dollar portfolio brand and has become absolutely crucial to the future of Coca-Cola.

Entre las figuras de la música popular cubana que sacó del ostracismo el "Buena Vista Social Club" destacó Ibrahim Ferrer. Por esos caprichos de la música y el destino, a pesar de ser un excelente intérprete (como demostró durante los últimos años de su vida) el cantante santiaguero, ya radicado en La Habana, durante buena parte de los años 60, fue sin mayores expectativas junto a Carlos Querol el complemento vocal apropiado en el conjunto "Los Bocucos" apoyando las interpretaciones del gran Pacho Alonso. A veinte años de su fallecimiento, ocurrido en La Habana el 6 de agosto del 2005, es imprescindible recordar el arte de Ibrahim. Un legado que habrá que tener en cuenta para no olvidar la grandeza de la música popular cubana y, de alguna manera, entender cómo pueden resultar de sinuosos los caminos del arte. A continuación la memoria radiofónica nos permite regresar a uno de aquellos shows en directo, emitidos desde la CMQ cuando sus flamantes estudios volvían a ubicarse en el Vedado habanero. "La pausa que refresca", patrocinado por Coca-Cola allá por 1950, brindaba a los oyentes de la mítica emisora el formidable arte de la soprano Alba Marina y la Guarachera de Cuba: Celia Cruz. El apoyo de la jazz band "Riverside" con su cantante estrella Tito Gómez y la conducción del saxofonista Pedro Vila redondeaba la calidad de un show de altos quilates. Repasamos el catálogo Panart de la segunda mitad de los años 50 para volver el auténtico estilo de Cheo Marquetti. Montunero de los buenos fueron excelentes sus décimas e improvisaciones en función de uno de los géneros raigales de la música popular cubana. Unos minutos en compañía de Cheo Marquetti, uno de nuestros grandes cantantes. Seguidamente y en este orden nos acompañarán Amelita Frades, Xiomara Alfaro, Rolando Laserie, Rolo Martínez, Fernando González y Tata Ramos. Notables intérpretes que ilustran la labor de excelencia con que incidió el pianista, compositor, arreglista, director de orquesta y productor discográfico Ernesto Duarte en el devenir de la música popular cubana.

In this episode of The LoCo Experience podcast, I sat down with Reed Miller, the owner of Northern Colorado Insurance Agency (NCIA) and a LoCo Think Tank member!  Reed shared insights on the changing landscape of insurance, detailing how NCIA serves multiple areas for health insurance, including employee benefits, Medicare, and individual plans. We also delved into the various options for group plans, the principles guiding his business, and the significant growth NCIA has experienced since he purchased the business 2+ years ago.Reed spoke at length about his family legacy in business, starting with his grandfather's Coca-Cola distribution company and continuing with his father's agency's inception and growth before partnering with a larger insurance brokerage - which grew to become the dominant regional player over time.  Reed's desire to strike out on his own was fueled by a commitment to transparency and ethical business practices, seeking to align his financial incentives with those of his clients. This focus extends to his personal life as well, where he balances business responsibilities with spending quality time with his wife Hannah and their two young boys.Outside of work, Reed is actively involved in his community, notably serving as the President of Northern Colorado United for Youth, a volunteer organization that raises significant funds for local children's charities - and has their annual Suitcase Party coming up on August 15th! Despite the various responsibilities, he manages to find time for travel and personal interests. Stories from his travels, including a memorable and somewhat nerve-wracking visit to Israel, highlight his adventurous spirit and commitment to both personal and professional growth.  So please join me in enjoying my conversation with Reed Miller.  The LoCo Experience Podcast is sponsored by: Purpose Driven Wealth Thrivent: Learn more

In this episode of Excess Returns, we're joined by Kai Wu of Sparkline Capital to explore one of the most important and overlooked aspects of Warren Buffett's investing evolution: his shift from tangible to intangible value. Based on Kai's research paper “Buffett's Intangible Moats,” we examine how Buffett's portfolio has evolved alongside the economy — and why the intangible drivers of brand equity, intellectual property, human capital, and network effects are central to understanding his success.

This is evident in the work of Korean American filmmaker Crystal Jin Kim. Her latest short film, Threadbeat Dad, was shot in Atlanta but is poised to reach the world. Kim joins City Lights Co-host Jon Goode, from her filmmaking residency in Jeju, South Korea, to discuss the film and her journey as a filmmaker. ✦ Brunching in Atlanta is practically a sport. There are strategies involved—arrive early to beat the rush of a crowd, or maybe you're a diner that prefers to make reservations. Regardless, you'll need good stamina to make it through bottomless mimosas and rich portions of pancakes and bacon. BUT in this economy, who has the money to drop $80 to $100 on breakfast food and drinks every weekend? In our new mini-series, Brunchin' on a Budget, we feature several delicious AND affordable brunch spots in Atlanta. On today's premiere installment, WABE Arts Reporter Summer Evans heads to Decatur to visit Pastries A Go Go. ✦ When we think of the European Master of Art, Atlanta might not be the first connection we make, but this story aims to revisit that assumption. Enter Athos Menaboni, an Italian-born artist, who moved to Atlanta in the 1920s. While here, he painted ceilings, murals, and even airplane interiors for Coca-Cola executives. But his most profound passion? Birds. From cardinals to crows, he painted them not just with scientific accuracy but with reverence. It led to him and his wife, Sara to publish Menaboni's Birds, a book now considered a Southern classic. City Lights Collective member Victoria Lemos shares more on this bit of Atlanta history. ✦ Are you a fan of music photography, but craving something more than a casual stroll through an exhibit?

Coke, crypto, cult pop icons — it’s a chaotic one today, betch. We kicked off with the town in Mexico that’s so obsessed with Coca-Cola they’re putting it in baby bottles and religious ceremonies. Ricki’s still frothin’ over the Bitcoin guy who accidentally binned $1.5 billion (yes, with a B). Then, in the Glossys, Sir Ian McKellen can’t quite get Charli XCX’s pronouns right, Donald Trump’s going rogue on Sydney Sweeney and Taylor Swift (it’s giving retired Facebook dad energy), and Drake’s birthmark now has a muse. Plus, we asked Grok who’s famous and watching us — turns out Denzel might be frothin’ over Tim.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Callers flood the lines with differing takes on the Trump administration announcement that six states (Florida, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Colorado) will be joining others in banning the use of SNAP benefits to purchase unhealthy food items like sugary drinks.

HHS secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins announce a Trump administration plan to prevent the use of SNAP benefits (food stamps) for 'sugary drinks' like Coca-Cola - including here in Colorado.SNAPDan argues this is an infringement on the dignity of low-income Americans, who should be free to obtain whatever grocery items they choose. Ryan spotlights the libertarian argument of a slippery slope in terms of government intervention on where one draws the line between 'healthy' and 'unhealthy' foods - and how are those defined?

Have you ever noticed how quiet moments, those with no noise or rush, feel different? Today, we're discussing how these pockets of stillness can transform your life and even ripple out to impact the world around you. I discussed this issue with Tom Cronin, a meditation expert who has helped thousands of people find more peace in everyday life. You'll have the opportunity to hear his solutions for achieving true calm. Stick with us—you might see the simple moments in a brand new way. Tom Cronin worked in finance for 26 years as a top bond and swap broker. Early on, stress pushed him to try meditation, which changed his life. Tom started The Stillness Project to help people find calm through daily stillness. Founder of The Stillness Project, a global movement to inspire one billion people to sit in stillness daily, Tom is passionate about reducing stress and chaos in people's lives. His ongoing work in transformational leadership coaching and corporate training has seen him working with some of the top companies in the world like Amazon, Oracle, Harvard Business School, Qantas, UBS and Coca-Cola. He's spoken at major events, written six books, and produced the hit film The Portal.

Ever wondered why your meticulously crafted B2B emails sometimes vanish into the digital ether instead of landing in your prospect's inbox? In this episode, we speak with Benny Rubin, founder and CEO of Senders, a platform that has mastered the science (and art) of email deliverability and cold outreach. Benny's journey, which improbably began in the world of music, took a sharp turn into B2B sales and tech entrepreneurship, with his teams generating hundreds of millions in pipeline for big-name brands like Starbucks, Visa, and Coca-Cola. But why is something as basic as getting an email delivered such a huge challenge for marketers, especially when 61% cite it as a top hurdle? Benny breaks down the secret sauce behind high-performing cold emails, from technical game-changers like DNS records to innovative strategies that move leads down the funnel without the hard sell. If you think email marketing is just about catchy subject lines and clever copy, get ready for a reality check. Benny reveals the hidden gaps no one's talking about, and what separates successful email campaigns from the rest. Whether you're at a startup searching for product-market fit or at a scale-up hungry for predictable growth, this episode will change the way you think about your inbox. Some areas we explore in this episode include: Benny Rubin's Journey – Transitioning from a music background to founding Senders and working in email deliverability and B2B sales.Unit Economics – The importance of understanding core business economics, especially in smaller businesses.Email Deliverability Fundamentals – Core technical essentials: domains, IP addresses, and DNS records.Common Email Pitfalls – Misconceptions, basic technical errors, and the problem with chasing random tactics.Technical vs. Messaging Strategy – The need to balance infrastructure fixes with crafting resonant messaging.Cold Email as a Growth Channel – Real-world examples and how cold email is used for pipeline and revenue generation.Lead Generation Tactics – Using cold email to nurture leads by inviting them to communities, roundtables, or events.Role of Content & Education – Why educating teams and prospects around email is critical for results.Iterative Messaging – The value of flexibility and testing in cold email campaigns.Industry Noise & Misinformation – The abundance of poor or narrowly-informed cold email advice online.And much, much more...

BIO: Pieter Slegers is the founder of Compounding Quality Newsletter. Pieter worked for three years as a Belgian asset manager before focusing full-time on his investment newsletter, Compounding Quality, in July 2022. Compounding Quality has over 1 million followers across social media and nearly 500,000 email subscribers. The goal of the newsletter is to help other investors by focusing on Quality Investing.STORY: At the age of 13, Peter convinced his parents to open a brokerage account. He picked the broker's newest “hottest pick” stock—an oil/gas transport company. He invested everything, thinking the people running the company knew what they were doing. Weeks later, the 2008 financial crisis hit. Peter sold his stock after a year, taking a 60% loss.LEARNING: Small losses are better than catastrophic ones. Knowledge is your only edge. “People who invest in individual stocks will make mistakes. There's no doubt about that, but it's way better to make a mistake with a few hundred dollars compared to $100,000.”Pieter Slegers Guest profilePieter Slegers is the founder of Compounding Quality Newsletter. Pieter studied Financial Management at the KULeuven and graduated summa cum laude. He worked for three years as a Belgian asset manager before focusing full-time on his investment newsletter, Compounding Quality, in July 2022. Compounding Quality has over 1 million followers across social media and nearly 500,000 email subscribers. The goal of the newsletter is to help other investors by focusing on Quality Investing.Worst investment everAt the age of 13, Peter earned his first paycheck by stocking shelves at a supermarket. Eager to grow his savings, he persuaded his parents to open a brokerage account (a feat for minors in Belgium).Despite his lack of investing knowledge, he diligently explored his broker's platform for ideas. A new stock caught his eye on the broker's “hot picks” list—an oil/gas transport company. He invested all his earnings, believing in the company's potential.Peter didn't conduct any research, despite his limited knowledge of oil and gas and his complete lack of investing experience. He simply trusted the “hot pick”.The crashWeeks later, the 2008 financial crisis hit. Peter sold his stock after a year, taking a 60% loss. His family was not impressed by his poor investment skills and told him that investing was akin to gambling, and he should consider working for the government instead.Pieter felt like such a failure. However, that $300 loss was his best investment. It hurt, but it taught him never to follow others blindly.Lessons learnedSmall losses are better than catastrophic ones. Losing $300 at the age of 13 beats losing $300,000 when you're 40. Early pain builds immunity to big mistakes.Knowledge is your only edge: If you don't understand how a company makes money, you're gambling, not investing.Failure fuels obsession. That loss made Pieter devour investing books, 10-Ks, and financial news. Pain became his mentor.Andrew's takeawaysAllow young investors to make mistakes with small sums (e.g., companies they understand, such as Netflix or Coca-Cola).Humility beats hubris. 90% of professional investors at Goldman Sachs underperform. What makes you different? It's your checklists, not confidence.Read biographies, study market history, and connect patterns. Wisdom compounds like interest.Actionable...

No último episódio, falamos sobre as implicações de trocar o xarope de alta frutose por “açúcar de verdade” na Coca-Cola, algo que não traz benefícios práticos e não deixa o refrigerante mais saudável. Outro movimento que está acontecendo nos EUA é a substituição de corantes artificiais por naturais nos alimentos industrializados. Depois do “açúcar de verdade”, é a vez do “corante de verdade”. Mas o que essas medidas significam na prática? Será que banir os corantes vai realmente deixar os alimentos mais saudáveis?

Coca-Cola's (KO) recent move to introduce a new cane sugar sweetened product line has investors buzzing about the potential impact on sugar prices. Sal Gilbertie breaks down the dynamics at play and how it could affect the price of sugar futures, particularly in light of global supply and demand imbalances. With the U.S. relying heavily on sugar imports, Gilbertie notes that even a small increase in demand could tip the balance and drive up prices, potentially benefiting ETFs like the Cane Sugar Fund (CANE).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Customer experience franchise growth has become the difference-maker for brands that aim to scale in today's competitive market. It's no longer enough to have a recognizable logo or a trendy product. Brands that grow—and stay relevant—are the ones that build a following through memorable, customizable customer experiences. At the center of this movement is FiiZ Drinks, a soda-centric franchise that's making waves by bringing back nostalgia and wrapping it in a modern, crave-worthy experience. With more than 25 years in franchising and hospitality, Scott Ball brings deep industry insight to his role as President of FiiZ Drinks. His background includes leadership positions with Dunkin', Arby's, and TJ Cinnamons, giving him a seasoned perspective on what it takes to scale a brand and support franchisees effectively. But his work with FiiZ isn't about following an old playbook—it's about writing a new one centered around customer experience franchise growth. FiiZ Drinks is not just another beverage brand. The experience is what makes it different. From fully customizable soda combinations to nostalgic aesthetics and a fast-casual service model that caters to drive-thru convenience, the brand has tapped into a unique emotional space. The concept blends the energy of a retro soda shop with the variety and speed demanded by modern consumers. It's not just about buying a drink—it's about owning the experience. That experience starts with personalization. With thousands of drink combinations available—including soda, frozen beverages, flavored waters, and sugar-free options—customers create something that feels uniquely theirs. This level of customization fuels engagement, drives frequency, and creates endless shareable moments on social media. For younger demographics in particular, FiiZ has become a place to connect, express, and indulge. And with vibrant store designs and upbeat service, it's no surprise the brand is building community hubs, not just retail locations. At the business level, customer experience franchise growth is what's powering FiiZ's national expansion. Since early 2024, the brand has signed over 130 new franchise units, extending its footprint from Utah and the Mountain West into the Midwest, Southeast, and even Canada. But FiiZ isn't just handing out franchise agreements—they're selecting partners with passion, operational experience, and the resources to scale in new markets. Each franchisee is trained not just on operations, but on the culture and community-building that drive customer loyalty. Scott Ball is clear: growth without operational support doesn't last. That's why FiiZ invests in product innovation, LTOs (limited-time offers), regional marketing support, and national brand-building partnerships with beverage giants like Pepsi, Coca-Cola, and Dr Pepper. This collaboration enables FiiZ to move fast, stay relevant, and deliver experiences customers can't find anywhere else. And in markets unfamiliar with “dirty soda” culture, they lead with education, sampling, and local connection—fundamentals of franchise growth rooted in experience. A big part of the brand's strategy is flexibility in its real estate model. While 85% of FiiZ sales currently come through drive-thru locations, the company is expanding into malls, campuses, and non-traditional spaces. The goal is to meet customers where they are, not force them into a singular format. That adaptability strengthens the brand's scalability—an essential part of any franchise growth strategy. Customer experience franchise growth isn't just a buzz phrase—it's a measurable, operational commitment. FiiZ Drinks is showing how a tight focus on delighting guests, building local community ties, and supporting franchisees with real systems leads to momentum that sustains. As competition increases and consumer expectations continue to evolve, brands that lead with experience will be the ones that thrive. For franchise leaders, entrepreneurs, or investors looking at the next big opportunity in food and beverage, FiiZ represents a growing category with staying power. It's not just about the drinks. It's about culture, customization, and community—served daily. Watch the full interview on YouTube.

Coca-Cola announced it will offers some "cane sugar" offerings in response to pressure from Pres. Trump.  Marion Nestle, professor of nutrition, food studies, and public health emerita at NYU and the author of many books, including the forthcoming, What to Eat Now: The Indispensable Guide to Good Food, How to Find It, and Why It Matters (North Point Press, 2025), talks about the chemical differences and perceived differences of the two sweeteners.

This week, we're diving into the wellness headlines that got us talking, from new research linking sweeteners to early puberty, to what the science really says about the keto diet. We're also looking at the rise of broccoli shots in elite sport and why grip strength might be one of the most important health markers we rarely talk about. There's a lot to cover, including Donald Trump and Coca-Cola's, a viral debate around bacon and cancer risk, and a listener question on how food can support hormone health.  At the end of the show, we're sharing a few personal updates, including the launch of Ella's new cookbook Quick Wins, our first-ever homeware collection with John Lewis, a campaign to improve free school breakfasts, and some summer picks for kids' food and theatre deals. Plus a brilliant Stylist feature on ageing that sparked an honest conversation about self-image and how our mindset shifts over time.

My guest is Dr. Chris McCurdy, PhD, FAAPS, professor of medicinal chemistry at the University of Florida and a world expert on the pharmacology of kratom and other plant-derived medicinal compounds. We discuss kratom's wide-ranging effects, including its use for boosting energy, enhancing mood, managing pain and as a potential opioid substitute, while also explaining its critical safety concerns and addictive potential, especially for kratom-derived/isolate products. We also discuss plant-based compounds more generally for their potential benefits and risks. Dr. McCurdy offers a balanced perspective on kratom and other plant-based and naturally occurring medicinal compounds, highlighting and contrasting their promise for human health with potential serious risks.
