Legacy brands are hard to replace. Consumers trust these products, often because flavor, texture and mouthfeel are known and reliable. And, yet, they've also shown an increasing willingness to swap familiar snacks and libations with those that are lower in calories or sugar and promoted as better-for-you. That dynamic is becoming even more significant among natural and organic brands that have developed products that taste remarkably similar to – and, in some cases, better than – the familiar items that have become refrigerator and pantry staples. In this episode, the hosts highlight several entrepreneurial brands that are winning over consumers and retail buyers with healthier ingredients and comparable taste to that of traditional counterparts. They also discuss Liquid Death's Death Dust, a new line of drink powders that (surprise, surprise!) have generated some controversy. Show notes: 0:35: John Isn't A Star Wars Guy. Blue Damn Raspberry. Stickers Of Approval. Expo Secrets Revealed. – John returns to the studio after a few days at the Magic Kingdom (yes, Disney does cocktails), Ray gives him a welcome home present and shocks the other hosts with his praise for candy of a certain flavor. Mike once again gets frustrated with perfection and explains why DNS praise will likely be in demand at Expo West, Ray and Jacqui tease a secret schedule at the event, the hosts collectively crunch on pita chips and pasta snacks and wonder if “Death to Plastic” is passé. Brands in this episode: Joyride Candy, Elavi, Fuel, Remedy Organics, Fruit Riot, Better Sour, Behave Candy, Smart Sweets, Pepperidge Farm, Revive Kombucha, Ruby, Zesty Z, Stacy's Pita Chips, Vintage Italia Penne Straws, S'noods, Liquid Death, Prime

It's often said that compelling social media content is one of the most cost-effective forms of marketing for consumer brands. But the volume of videos and images posted daily on popular social platforms like Instagram and TikTok makes it challenging to capture users' attention. In this episode, the hosts highlighted brands who create consistently authentic and entertaining content as a way to break through the clutter and develop a sustainable connection with their audiences. Show notes: 0:35: Wrestleball, X Ain'tThe Spot, Ray Loves Wendy's, Dank & Dry, The Year of Better-For-You Chex Mix? – Within the first five minutes of the episode, John shared his strange social media habits, Jacqui said that she? likes “roughing people up” and Ray explained why he thinks Twitter (err X) is toxic. The hosts heaped praise on several brands whose social media strategies they admire, and pointed out specific posts as examples of how to generate humor and enthusiasm in authentic ways. They also sampled a Whistlepig's non-alcoholic, cannabis terpene-infused bottled cocktail, a spicy honey and an even spicier hot pot condiment, and discussed the variety of new Chex Mix-style products coming to market.

**This episode is brought to you by MuteSix, StoreYa, and Justuno**   A product that is good for you - that's what ELAVI's Co-Founders, Nikki Elliott, and Michelle Razavi, strived to do while starting the brand. In the second part, the partners say they understand each other's recharge points and always put the company first. Michelle and Nikki choose collagen for their product because it's the protein that declines with age and is ignored in most people's diets. They wanted to fill this white space. The brand got close to consumers by launching a couple of months before the pandemic. People were prioritizing health so they were open to new things or brands. Michelle advises businesses to always ask for help, feedback, and better terms, while Nikki emphasizes transparency. In part 2 of this episode of The Story of a Brand, Nikki and Michelle talk about: * Their relationship * How they got people excited * What is collagen, and why did they choose it * Antioxidants * Where to get ELAVI * Showing reviews and upcoming activations * Flavors at ELAVI * Their packaging * Message from Michelle and Nikki * New flavors Join Ramon Vela, Nikki Elliott and Michelle Razavi as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.

This is the story of Elavi Dowie's fight to see his children. After splitting from the children's Mother Elavi thought he would stand a fair chance seeing his children and so went to the courts himself. Little did he know that this would be the beginning of a 6 year fight with the family courts. As you will hear Elavi is now fighting the family courts. It really as if his children have been forgotten, however this is far from the case for Elavi who has been sent to prison twice over this and is facing criminal court in December 2021. His story is the perfect example of how our UK family court system tries to destroy fathers and families. Contains important & relevant information as well as hope & inspiration. I seriously suggest people follow Elavi on YouTube and reach out to him especially if you are in a similar position with the family courts or like Elavi are waiting for your case to go criminal trial.
