"We are constantly being shaped by seemingly irrelevant stimuli, subliminal information, and internal forces we don't know a thing about." - Robert SapolskyMetabolic interventionist for ABC Paving, advisor, and trainer Adam Geiger is joining the show once again for his sophomore appearance and we have got a healthy list of healthy topics to discuss.  Adam and Jay are digging into what makes cardiovascular fitness such an important part of one's health, what it takes to be a high-level coach or advisor to high-level individuals, and how everything in the body is related and connected and that when one things gets out of whack it can lead to so many other things following suit.  We're taking a really deep dive into the how and why of mental and physical fitness today with the one and only Adam Geiger.

Culture is more than just a nice to have. It can be the difference between keeping your workforce and making sure they hold each other accountable to do the job the right way.

We're back again today with another helping of culture content with our very own Jay Doran taking a look at building culture around a sales team.  When discussing culture surrounding a sales team, it's important to know where it needs to start in order to make its way to the members of the team.  As with most things, it starts at the top and leadership is responsible for making sure that the values of the company are exemplified by the sales team.  There is a lot to unpack and The Culture Man is here to help get through it on this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.And for all those that celebrate, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

A strong, cohesive business culture is fundamental to the success of any organization. From maintaining high motivation levels to preventing procrastination and addressing internal conflicts, the culture within a business can significantly impact its overall performance. In this episode, Adam Stott and Inga Grigaitiene dive deep into the critical aspect of building an exceptional business culture. Drawing parallels with legendary football manager Alex Ferguson, Adam discusses how establishing discipline, respect, and a shared vision can drive a company's success. By fostering a positive environment and combating procrastination, businesses can retain high-performing employees and achieve significant results.

Only 1 month away from the birthday of The Empathy Dilemma! I am so excited to share with you the last pillar today - joy. What the heck does joy have to do with empathy or high performance?

In food and beverage, innovative brands often get the most attention. Novel ingredients, formulations and flavors draw crowds. And, yet, products that are positioned as incrementally better-for-you than existing options might have more runway over the long-term. The hosts discussed the topic in this episode, which highlights several new products and brand extensions launched in recent weeks. This episode also features a conversation with Good Culture co-founder and CEO Jesse Merrill and Steve Young, a managing partner with private equity firm Manna Tree, about the synergy between profit and purpose. 0:35: Jan, We Hardly Knew Thee. Expo What? VIPs Always Get Perks. Granola, Beans, Oats & Vibes. – Upon the arrival of a new month, the hosts looked ahead to Expo West 2024 and noted benefits that Taste Radio VIPs can receive at the event. They also chatted about Poppi's new TV advertisement, sampled a new line of “cookie granola,” spoke about why a “basic” oat milk might resonate with Gen Z consumers and lauded luxury brownies and cold-brewed tea. 31:54: Interview: Steve Young, Managing Partner, Manna Tree & Jesse Merrill, Co-Founder/CEO, Good Culture – During Manna Tree's Leadership Summit in Vail, Colorado, Steve and Jesse sat down with Taste Radio editor Ray Latif for a conversation that began with a review of morning routines and why the Good Culture CEO no longer wakes up with anxiety. The discussion shifted to the interaction between investor and entrepreneur, balancing core values and business fundamentals, and why patience is a key aspect of their relationship. Jesse also explained why Good Culture prioritizes “consumer love and consumer demand” and why they both agree that “mission drives return” on investment.

Ten years ago, few believed that an upstart brand could revolutionize the sleepy category of cottage cheese, and, by extension, dairy-based foods as a whole. Good Culture co-founder Jesse Merrill was part of that small cohort, and his steadfast belief that consumers want better-for-you and better tasting options in the dairy case defines his company, one some have described as “the next Chobani.” Launched in 2015, Good Culture markets a variety of cultured dairy products, including its flagship line of certified organic, pasture-raised, stabilizer and additive-free cottage cheese, along with sour cream, cream cheese and milk. A certified B Corporation and partner of 1% for the Planet, Good Culture products are sold nationally at Whole Foods, Target, Ralphs, Walmart, Sprouts and Kroger. In 2022, the company completed a $64 Million Series C funding round led by mission-driven private equity firm Manna Tree which also included investment from actress Kristen Bell. At the time, Good Culture was generating $70 million in annual retail sales and targeting $100 million in sales for the fiscal year. In this episode, Jesse spoke about how Good Culture aligns mission and values with business fundamentals, why proof of concept and velocity are keys to its growth strategy, being maniacal about delivering on the products' key attributes and how the best advice he ever received has benefited the company.  Show notes: 0:43: Interview: Jesse Merrill, Co-Founder & CEO, Good Culture – Jesse spoke with Taste Radio editor Ray Latif amid Manna Tree's Leadership Summit in Vail, Colorado and discussed his transition from the beverage industry into food, how he addressed early naysayers of Good Culture, holding ground on mission and values with retail partners and investors and why timing is critical when saying “yes” or “no.” He also explained why non-promotional “velocity is the number brand health metric,” why the company waited until it had established enough equity with its core business before innovating in other categories, how he views realistic versus ambitious goals and how both the worst and best advice he ever received impacted Good Culture's development.

Has “organic” lost its sheen? Based on Nielsen IQ data presented by Whipstitch Capital's Nick McCoy, it would appear so. A veteran food and beverage investment banker, McCoy spoke at a recent event in Vail, Colorado hosted by private equity firm Manna Tree. As part of a presentation on deal flow and trends in the natural products industry, he revealed a shift of the most important product attributes for consumers of natural brands, and how Gen Z and Alpha's current spending patterns can inform brands about where to invest their resources. The Manna Tree event also featured fireside chats with General Mills M&A director Andrew Petz and Holly Adrien, who leads natural and organic strategy for Kroger and is the retailer's innovation manager, each of whom shared insights about their respective roles amid an evolving landscape for natural products. Ray attended the event and shared takeaways in this episode, which also includes the hosts' assessment of Nutrabolt's investment in supplement brand Bloom Nutrition and the acquisition of plant-based creamer brand nutpods. The hosts also riffed on a handful of new products, including Heath-Ade's new soda brand Sunsip. Show notes: 0:35: When In Vail, Vest Up. Time To Invest In Sustainable Packaging? A Good Match. Jacqui's Peas. – The hosts commented on Ray's unusual outfit and lack of ski plans before he gave a summary of business presentations from Manna Tree's Leadership Summit, held earlier in the week. Amid the synopsis, they chatted about why a high-profile cereal company was struggling to find an acquirer, best practices for connecting with retailer buyers and a few expectations for Expo West. Ray shared his take on Health-Ade's latest attempt at soda, while John and Mike spiced things up with new hot sauces and chili crisps and Jacqui shared her passion for peas.

According to a 2020 health survey conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 41.9% of Americans aged 20 and over are obese. It's a frustrating statistic for public health officials whose advocacy for exercising more frequently and making better eating decisions can often fall on deaf ears. Those issues, however, are linked to the accessibility and affordability of healthy food and beverages. Yes, there are better-for-you options, but are they readily available at a reasonable cost to most consumers? That was a persistent question during Manna Tree's second annual Global Health Forum, hosted earlier this month at the firm's home base of Vail, Colorado. Founded on the belief that “the future of health, well-being and longevity is attainable through innovation in food,” Manna Tree invests in and actively partners with growth-stage companies, including Health-Ade, The New Primal, Urban Remedy, Gotham Greens, Verde Farms and Good Culture. Prior to attending the Global Health Forum, which featured presentations on metabolic health and how consumer behavior has shifted around the better-for-you segment, Taste Radio editor Ray Latif sat down with Manna Tree leaders Ross Iverson, Brent Drever and Steve Young for a trio conversations about the firm's investment strategy and how it relates to getting healthy and affordable food into the shopping carts of more consumers.   We also discussed how entrepreneurs are faced with shifting expectations for bottom line and top line growth, their assessment of consumer confidence and spending, emerging food trends and ways that public institutions and private companies can align on common goals to positively impact global health. Show notes: 2:33: Ross Iverson, Co-Founder & Managing Partner, Manna Tree – The episode opens with Iverson, who briefly discussed how Manna Tree planned for the Global Health Forum before he spoke about how investors are assessing the strength of the U.S. economy amidst concerns of a recession, how the firm evaluates short- and long-term paths to profitability and why the firm is looking to make investments in food manufacturing. He also explained why Manna Tree is “super active” in the operations of its portfolio companies and how aligned groups of food and beverage brands might benefit by having a unified operating structure. 27:01: Brent Drever, Co-Founder & Managing Partner, Manna Tree – Drever spoke about the firm's work with state governors and federal legislators to improve public health, their assessment of companies' efforts to reduce sugar in their products, taking into account a range of consumer views on taste and health concerns and how they evaluate kids' packaged food and beverage brands. He also discussed Health-Ade's discontinued Pop line and the company's efforts to create new products for mainstream consumers and how he plans to navigate the show floor at Expo West 2023. 46:28: Steve Young, Managing Director, Manna Tree – Young discussed his long career in the food industry, including his work with General Mills where he helped shepherd the acquisition of Annie's, why he believes that during a time of uncertainty “investors are not going to invest in the top line at the sake of the bottom line” and whether the era of billion-dollar food brands might be coming to an end. He also discussed the tailwind for local and artisanal brands, the duality of creating highly nutritious and affordable products and how vertically integrated companies factor into Manna Tree's investment thesis. Brands in this episode: Health-Ade, The New Primal, Urban Remedy, Vital Farms, Gotham Greens, Verde Farms, Good Culture, AriZona, Bellisio Foods, Annie's

Do you want your eventual exit to benefit many instead of a few? Want to motivate and empower the team by making them personally invested in the agency's success? Have you thought about employee shares or stock options? Learn what you should do and what to avoid in this situation from the CEO of an employee-owned agency. It was an unconventional exit strategy by its owner. However, it the new ownership structure offers many benefits for all involved and is a very interesting way to positively ensure that everyone at the agency has skin in the game. Leeann Leahy is the CEO of VIA, a full-service advertising and marketing agency based in Portland, Maine. They are an award-winning team and one of the largest independent agencies in the business. How did they do it? Many years after its creation, the last remaining original partner decided to build a very interesting ownership structure that would benefit all employees instead of a select executive team. Leeann discusses the process of putting such a structure together, the challenges, and the many benefits it creates for the business culture and overall employee commitment.

She was a child actor in several commercials, so she grew up around the business of advertising. At one point in her life, she swore off that world. However, she fell right back into it with account planning. Since then she has had a successful career working at both large and small agencies. Ten years ago she moved to Portland, Maine and became the CEO of a very interesting employee-run project. When the agency was created, its three owners had a vision of creating something larger than themselves. This is why they named it VIA (Vision, Instinct, and Action) instead of something tied to the founders. Over the years, two of the partners left and, as the last one prepared to step away from his active role, the agency got a lot of acquisition offers. With Fortune 500 clients and awards for best culture, the agency was a valuable asset for any buyer. Instead, the remaining partner had something very different planned for his exit strategy. He set up an agreement whereby he would give the agency to the employees. This was not a typical employee-ownership program. It was completely bespoke, with lawyers and accountants advising against it. However, they started a program measuring the agency's performance each year and if they reached certain metrics, the owner would gift a portion of his ownership in the form of options. The program, which they called VEEP (VIA's Employee Equity Program) was meant to last for ten years. Fortunately, they were actually able to do it all by year seven. Finding the Right Agency Employee Ownership Structure Seven years after starting VEEP, employees could convert their earned "options" into shares. This is when they realized the lawyers and accountants were right. The original agreement had the best intentions; however, it didn't take tax implications into consideration. The problem was that the conversion from options to shares was prohibitively expensive because of the agency's growth over the years. As a result, they were forced to reevaluate their situation. They looked at many different types of structures that didn't involve giving up their independence. In the end, they landed on an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Program), a program overseen by the government. It has huge tax exceptions, so there are benefits for both the employer and employees. It is basically set up as a qualified retirement plan. Now everyone at the agency is given more shares every year at no cost to themselves. That grows over time and, by the time they leave the agency, they'll have something they can roll over into an IRA or cash out. This way, they're actually earning as the agency grows and everyone is invested in the agency's success. 3 ESOP Models Depending on the Owner's Future Role in the Agency Does the owner get paid out in an ESOP structure? The short answer is yes. Of course, they had to find a way to make it work both for him and the employees. In VIA's case, the owner was paid out in two segments with a down payment and the rest over time. Technically, it was all done through a trust. They set up a trust that "bought" the agency and allocated shares to the employees. This way, the Board of Directors would still govern operationally while a Trustee Committee oversees the Board. It was a complicated feat to pay out the owner and recognize the value he had gifted employees over the years. It involved a lot of legal math and the collaboration of many lawyers and accountants. Depending on how you structure it and what the owner wants their future role to be, they can still have residuals or be completely out. The owner payout in an ESOP can work in 1 of 3 ways: 1. The owner receives 100% of the buyout through a note with an interest rate or participation in the ESOP. 2. It could be through a down payment to the owner and a note for the remainder. 3. Funding can be sourced from an outside, third-party. Pros and Cons of an Agency ESOP To take a similar route with your agency and have successful results, the first key is having the desire for everyone to benefit, as opposed to just the founder and a small executive team. This doesn't mean they'll all benefit equally but rather in an equally fair manner based on their contribution and compensation. People get nervous around ESOPs because it generally involves taking on debt to buy out the founder. This debt gets paid first, even before the owner's note, so the government knows you're repaying it. Furthermore, you have to hold a certain amount of cash in reserves for when people redeem shares. At Leeann's agency, they set up the ESOP so only employees can hold shares, but this also means the agency needs to be ready to buy people out when they leave. There are some ties to it for the employees, like paying a penalty if you decide to take out the shares before reaching a certain age. Nonetheless, the big benefit for the business is the ability to operate as a tax-free organization. Investing in Good Culture and Commitment to the Agency's Success Being in a creative industry, it's important to provide a work environment where employees feel motivated and inspired. The key to achieving this is keeping them happy. This agency invests in its happiness factor by providing its team the opportunity to work for themselves. It's an interesting approach to the problem of employee engagement by offering benefits linking the overall agency's performance to the team's personal gain. Of course, this structure is not without risks. It's built in a way in which, if you maintain a good culture and an engaged employee base, they'll be invested in the agency's success. If people are not engaged and it's just a job to them, then it all falls apart. On the contrary, if they understand the agency's success is their success, then odds are it won't fall apart. To ensure they give a space where employees can voice their concerns, VIA introduced VN Voices. It's a new figure apart from the Board of Directors and the Trustee committee called the Associates' Panel. They're a group of seven volunteers who represent the employees. They raise issues affecting the team and bring them to the Board and Trustees. A Successful ESOP Starts with a Foundation of Good Culture  If you're interested in creating something similar to the model Leeann's agency came up with, she recommends having a well-established culture. “It's just not something you can create on top of it,” she says. VIA already had a culture of investing in happiness, people, and fun. They invest a ton in mental health and creating an equitable environment to introduce diversity. Investing in your culture is a good way to invest in your agency's future. “No matter where you land, you'll be passing on something more complete if you invest in the culture,” Leeann assures.
