In this episode, Dr. G dives into the recent $1.2 billion acquisition of Siete Foods by PepsiCo and what it could mean for the health-conscious consumer. Siete, known for its grain-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free Mexican-American-inspired products, has gained a loyal following for its commitment to allergen-friendly foods. But now that PepsiCo is taking the reins, can we be sure the quality and authenticity will remain intact? Dr. G also reveals several health and wellness brands you may not realize were acquired by major corporations, including Annie's, RXBAR, and Garden of Life. With these takeovers come concerns about product changes—like the introduction of GMOs, preservatives, or shifting ingredient quality. #pepsi #health #wellness  Show Notes: 00:00:00 - Pepsi Acquires Siete Foods for $1.2 Billion 00:00:15 - Overview of Health Food Company Acquisitions 00:00:47 - Introduction to Siete Chips and Their Allergen-Free Appeal 00:01:24 - Implications of Pepsi's Acquisition of Siete Chips 00:02:05 - Companies That Changed Products After Being Acquired 00:02:37 - Understanding Certificates of Analysis 00:03:22 - Notable Acquisitions: Annie's, Kashi, and Applegate Farms 00:04:49 - The Controversy of Burt's Bees Acquisition 00:05:05 - Garden of Life's Acquisition by Nestlé 00:08:33 - Overview of Other Notable Acquisitions in the Health Food Sector 00:09:18 - Bare Snacks Acquisition by Pepsi 00:09:58 - Changes in Whole Foods Post-Amazon Acquisition 00:10:16 - Ethical Concerns with Acquired Brands 00:11:03 - The Impact of Nestlé on Acquired Companies 00:12:04 - Kashi's Formula Changes After Kellogg's Acquisition 00:13:02 - Odwalla's Decline Post-Coca Cola Acquisition 00:13:37 - Annie's Products and Subtle Changes in Quality 00:14:54 - Applegate Farms and Hormel's Influence 00:15:40 - Garden of Life's Shift After Nestlé Acquisition 00:16:47 - Honest Tea's Changes Under Coca Cola 00:17:20 - Other Supplement Brands Affected by Acquisitions 00:18:51 - Pharmaceutical Companies Buying Organic Brands 00:19:19 - Reasons Behind Small Companies Selling Out 00:19:42 - Overview of Company Acquisitions in Health Food 00:20:09 - The Process of Companies Buying Out Smaller Brands 00:20:32 - Ethical Considerations When Supporting Acquired Brands 00:21:11 - Personal Values and Company Ethics 00:22:06 - Different Perspectives on Supporting Acquired Brands 00:22:36 - Alternatives to Purchased Products 00:23:10 - Monitoring Ingredient Changes After Acquisition 00:24:27 - Importance of Trust in Product Quality 00:25:30 - Understanding Certificates of Analysis (COA) 00:27:25 - Interpreting Heavy Metal Levels in Products 00:29:04 - Proposition 65 and Heavy Metal Standards 00:29:57 - Conclusion and Thank You === Thank you to our sponsors!  BON CHARGE Click here and use code DRG for 15% off storewide!

He may be nicknamed “The Beverage Whisperer,” but when Ken Sadowsky speaks he's heard loud and clear.  A longtime industry advisor and investor, Ken is one of the most respected and influential voices in the beverage business. Ken is currently the executive director of The Northeastern Independent Distributors Association, known as NIDA, a group of wholesalers that operate in states from Maine to Pennsylvania. He's also a senior advisor with Verlivest, the Belgium-based investment holding company founded by the owners of Anheuser-Busch InBev, which holds stakes in Oatly, Vita Coco and Hint Water. Ken is personally invested in and an advisor to several beverage companies including LifeAid, Icelandic Glacial, Recess and Dyla Brands.  This episode is the third of a trilogy with Ken, who also joined us for conversations in 2016 and 2019. Ken and Taste Radio editor Ray Latif sample drinks representing fast-growing, bleeding-edge and established categories, including better-for-you sodas, cannabis libations, nonalcoholic cocktails, and shots of the juice variety. As they sip their way through a mish-mash of beverages, Ken shares his perspective on trendy concepts, package design, formulation his investment thesis, and successful retail strategies. Show notes: 0:35: Ken Sadowsky, The Beverage Whisperer – Ken and Ray engage in some Sox talk before they dive into a mass of beverages, foreign and domestic. Ken talks about cutting his teeth back in 1983 and his ability to understand what brands have what it takes to go from “the core consumer to the more consumer” and why he's not bullish on non-nutritive sugar alternatives. They sip on some Chamberlain Coffee and chat about how the cold brew coffee category has morphed and whether non-alcoholic cocktails are – at this point – more sizzle than steak. Ken also explains why he's a fan of entrepreneurs with industry experience and why it's important to be nice to your distributors, before sipping on Olipop's limited-edition Barbie collaboration and sharing his take on the future of better-for-you sodas. He also admits to being an “illegal cannabis consumer” (not really), why you should sample beverages warm, getting retailers to merchandise your brand in two locations and the Catch-22 of fundraising.

This week, Dan Neumann and Justin Thatil are joined by Erik Lindgren to discuss the concepts of MVP (Minimum Viable Product) and MMP (Minimum Marketable Product) and the differences between them.   In this episode, they explore an example of a successful brand that started the simplest way possible and became a multimillion-dollar success a decade later!   Key Takeaways Erik shares the story of Honest Tea, which grew into a multimillion-dollar company. They started with the MVP (making tea at Eric's home to sell later), and ten years later, Coca-Cola bought forty percent for forty-three million dollars. What is the simplest way to get to the market fast? Start with the minimum to get on the market and test your idea. It is crucial to shift from an existing platform to a new one with the minimum risk possible. What is the difference between MVP and MMP? MVP: We are unsure if there is a market for this product, who will buy it, and how they will respond to it; for that, you put together a business hypothesis. MMP: What is something that the market will really adopt broadly? There is a considerable risk in taking the Big Bang approach to a project. An integrative and incremental approach seems more effective than redoing the entire ERP system before going live. Grow a system organically instead of trying to do it all at once. A team must ensure they know whom they are solving a problem for to focus£ on what matters most.

We will learn: Why most people are dividing the wrong pie in negotiations and how to find the right one. The two perspectives most people take in negotiation and how this new method appeases both. How to apply this method to simple and more complex needs for negotiation. Do you feel like a confident negotiator? Negotiations are stressful. It usually feels like a verbal game of poker, with both people bluffing and hoping they come out on top. Too often, we're left guessing. What the other person is thinking. If they're telling the truth. If we're giving too much or too little. Wouldn't it be better if there were a principled way to negotiate? Well, there is and that's what we're learning today. Our guest is Barry Nalebuff. He is the Milton Steinbach Professor at the Yale School of Management, where he has taught strategy, game theory, and negotiation for 32 years. He is also the author of seven books, including “Thinking Strategically” and “The Art of Strategy”. “Co-opetition” for cooperating while competing. “Why Not?” which provides a framework for problem-solving. And “Split the Pie”, which offers a new perspective on negotiation. He is also a serial entrepreneur. You might recognize the brand Honest Tea, which he co-founded and sold to Coca-Cola.

Clay and Doctor Z break down game-changing quotes from Honest Tea's founder, Seth Goldman on the importance of developing your own talent within your business and knowing the right time to sell your business.

Are you trying to figure how to market on a small budget while staying focused on your core mission. Clay and Dr Z break down power quotes from Honest Tea's founder, Seth Goldman.

One of our most effective tools for improving planetary health is the food we choose to eat. In environmental terms, a vegetarian diet is great and a vegan diet is even better. However, imagining that the bulk of the population will willingly shift to a vegan diet over the next few years seems pretty unlikely (to put it mildly). So, where does that leave us? In today's episode, we're joined by Eat the Change co-founder Seth Goldman to advocate for a plant-based approach to food and diet. In a plant-based model, vegetables, fruits, fungi, and legumes are the key players - but there's not a single food group that's entirely off-limits. In this episode, we chat about Seth's line of delicious and healthy snacks made from back-to-basics ingredients like carrots and mushrooms, his background as an entrepreneur in the health food space, and why you can't sacrifice taste if you want to change peoples' eating habits. Show NotesEat the ChangeAbout Seth GoldmanPLNT BurgerBeyond BurgerHonest TeaETC ImpactInnovator's Agenda: How We Approach Innovation at Eat the ChangeEat the Change on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook

Many in the natural/organic end of CPG were heartbroken when Coca-Cola wound down the Honest Tea portion of the Honest business. In this episode, I share my own take on why Coca-Cola most likely made this decision and why Honest sold way too early in the revenue curve to make this acquisition work long-term.Your Host: Dr. James F.

It's one of the fastest-growing entrepreneurial beverage brands in recent memory, but while Super Coffee appears to be sprinting towards an exit, brothers and co-founders Jim, Jake and Jordan DeCicco often say that they're just getting warmed up.  In the seven years since Jordan created the brand in his college dorm room, Super Coffee has become a significant player in the multi-billion dollar RTD coffee category. Over the past two years, the company has ramped up distribution via a partnership with beer giant Anheuser-Busch InBev and fueled an expansion into new retail channels supported by a $106 million Series C funding round completed at a valuation of $500 million. Earlier this year, Super Coffee announced its foray into energy drinks with Super Energy, a line of premium sparkling beverages made with natural ingredients. While the brand continues to be on a positive trajectory, operational challenges caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and an increasingly rigid M&A environment for beverage brands have required the DeCicco brothers to reconsider and revise parts of their business, including  Super Coffee's core line of products. In an interview featured as part of Taste Radio's live podcast and meetup event in Austin, which was held in September, the DeCicco brothers spoke about how shifting headwinds have influenced recent business decisions, the impact of Covid on innovation and what they learned from being on the front lines of distribution and merchandising since the outset of the pandemic. They also explained the value of being “the world's foremost experts on Super Coffee” and how they communicate exit planning to the Super Coffee team. Show notes: 0:45: Jim, Jake & Jordan DeCicco, Co-Founders, Super Coffee – Taste Radio editor Ray Latif shared his admiration for the Super Coffee office and asked the DeCicco brothers to express their seven years in business in a single word.  Jim spoke about how the team assesses when and how to ask for advice,  Jordan discussed their process for adding a strategic advisor or investor to the company and Jake explained why Super Coffee extended the brand into energy drinks. Later, the brothers spoke about the brand's shift toward indulgent flavors and why there was (and continues to be) some disagreement about their blueberry muffin variety,  their belief that “our job starts after the product gets on shelves” and why maximizing value for the company's investors and partners is the key to an optimal exit.

Welcome to an episode with a leading Yale expert and serial entrepreneur, Barry Nalebuff. Get Barry's book here: https://amzn.to/3OiNiJs For thirty years, Barry has taught negotiation, innovation, strategy, and game theory at Yale School of Management, which led him to develop a new approach toward negotiation. This approach is vastly different from how most people think about negotiation, which usually involves having the best tactic to out-smart the other party and get the best deal.  This podcast explains the concept of the negotiation pie, which is the additional value created through an agreement to work together. It exhibits fairness and identifies what's really at stake in any negotiation. We share examples that showcase negotiation principles and a different mindset about creating value that benefits both parties involved – more importantly, understanding the views of each party as if they are solving problems rather than making the most out of the negotiation. Barry is the co-author of seven books and an online course. Thinking Strategically and The Art of Strategy are two crossover books on game theory with more than 400,000 copies in print. Co-opetition looks beyond zero-sum games to emphasize the potential for cooperating while competing. Why Not? offers a framework for problem-solving and ingenuity. Lifecycle Investing provides a new strategy for retirement investing. Mission in a Bottle tells the story of Honest Tea. His most recent book is Split the Pie, which is based on his negotiation course at SOM. An online version of the negotiation course is available for free on Coursera. It has 400,000 active learners and is the second-highest rating on the Coursera platform. In 1998, Barry—together with his former student Seth Goldman—co-founded Honest Tea. In 2011, the company was purchased by Coca-Cola. His second venture, Kombrewcha, is a slightly alcoholic version of kombucha. The company was acquired in 2016 by AB-Inbev. He is currently working to build Real Made Foods.  He works with many entrepreneurial firms. He serves on the board of Q Drinks (started by his former student Jordan Silbert), Calicraft Beer, and AGP Glass. Alongside startups, he has extensive experience consulting with multinational firms. He advised the NBA in their prior negotiations with the National Basketball Players Association and served on the board of Nationwide Insurance. A graduate of MIT, a Rhodes Scholar, and a Junior Fellow at Harvard's Society of Fellows, Nalebuff earned his doctorate at Oxford University.
