Under his leadership, he scaled the company from $250,000 in annual revenue to over $10 million, turning it into a global, science-backed brand. Before The Pickle Juice Company, Filip held sales roles at major firms, including 20th Century Fox, Warner Home Video, and Kraft Heinz. In this episode… Building a brand that stands out in a saturated market isn't just about clever marketing or bold claims; it's about proving your worth through tangible results. How can you create something so authentic that your customers become your loudest advocates? According to consumer product growth and brand strategy veteran Filip Keuppens, building an authentic brand starts with truth, humility, and action. Instead of controlling the narrative, he advises leaders to let users experience the product and share honest feedback, even if it's negative. Additionally, showing up, listening, and leading by example is the foundation for lasting growth and team trust. Genuine credibility can't be bought; it's earned through consistency and transparency. In this episode of the Up Arrow Podcast, William Harris welcomes Filip Keuppens, CEO of The Pickle Juice Company, to discuss building authentic brands through action and accountability.

It's the central strategic decision that determines a company's risk, flexibility, and future.In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained on FinPod, we break down the complex toolkit used for mega M&A Financing, providing a shortcut to understanding the mechanics behind the biggest headlines.This episode covers:The Basic Building Blocks: The core trade-offs of the three main payment methods: Cash (certainty vs. drained reserves), Stock (saves cash vs. dilution), and Debt (amplifies returns vs. increased leverage).The Advanced Toolkit: Specialized financing methods, including Leveraged Buyouts (LBOs), Bridge Financing for speed, and Syndicated Loans for distributing massive risk across multiple banks (as seen in the Microsoft/Activision deal).Strategy in Action: We analyze the tailored financing mix of major deals: Microsoft's cash and debt strategy to avoid dilution, Disney's stock/cash balance to protect its credit rating, and Amazon's all-cash approach for speed with Whole Foods.The Critical Checkpoints: The toughest challenge, modeling reality.

Send us a textWelcome to Safe Dividend Investing's Podcast 246- (25 October 2025) As I continue to score and analyze stocks for my next investment book the loss at The Kraft Heinz Company (stock symbol KHC) caught my interest. KHC was a merger formed in 2015 and will cease to exist in 2026 when it is again split into two companies. It is currently the 5th largest food company in the world. When Warren Buffett, who is recognized to be the most successful stock investor in the world, invested $3.76 Billion dollars of Berkshire Hathaway's money Kraft Heinz he was sure it would provide a generous return. Berkshire have now lost $2.63 billion in this venture. There are lessons for you to learn from this loss. Perhaps the biggest is do your own basic research and do not accept that anyone can accurately predict future share prices.In this podcast (with a written transcript attached) you can get an understanding of why the stock scoring software supplied with my books makes it easy to identify and sort the strength of the kind of stocks you wish to acquire for your portfolio. I write my investment books for those who fear that they will lose their life savings by investing in the stock market My books show  investors  an easy, safe way to select financially strong, safe, growing companies who pay high dividends .  I have been successfully investing this way for twenty years .My portfolio of strong dividend stocks not only provides me with a reliable, growing source of income but over time has increase the value of my portfolio by several multiples.Unlike mutual funds and index funds - where investors have no control over their investment and  only a vague idea as to what stocks are in the fund - a self-directed investor can fully understand  and appreciate the value of each stock in the portfolio that they created. They can escape the mundane returns and high fees inherent in owning funds.For more information on self-directed investing go to my website www,.informus.ca or  listen to the previous 245 weekly podcasts.

In this insightful episode of The Quiet Warrior Podcast, I speak with Susan Barber — a leadership visibility coach, former Fortune 500 executive, and author of The Visibility Factor and the upcoming Your Journey to Visibility Workbook.Susan shares her powerful journey from sitting quietly in the back of corporate meeting rooms to becoming a visible, influential leader who helps others do the same. Drawing from 25 years at Kraft Heinz, she opens up about overcoming imposter syndrome, reframing self-doubt, and learning to take small, consistent actions toward visibility — all while staying true to her introverted nature.If you've ever wondered how to be seen and heard without being loud, this conversation will inspire you to start your own journey — one micro-action at a time.In This Episode, We Discuss:Evolving from invisible to visible: how Susan went from hiding in the back of meetings to sitting confidently at the executive table.Reframing imposter syndrome: why feeling unsure can actually be a sign of growth — and how humility can work in your favor.Preparation over panic: how introverts can replace the fear of “freezing up” with calm readiness and self-trust.Feedback as fuel for growth: Susan's practical advice for exploring — not fearing — feedback, and using it as a leadership superpower.Little experiments, big impact: how to build confidence through small, strategic steps instead of giant leaps.Owning your narrative: why it's essential to define how you want others to perceive you — and how to start embodying that version of yourself today.Key Takeaways:Visibility isn't about self-promotion; it's about sharing value and contributing meaningfully.Every interaction is an opportunity for visibility — from meetings to everyday conversations.Being visible can start with something as small as offering help, asking a thoughtful question, or sharing your team's wins.You were hired for a reason. Your voice and ideas matter.Confidence grows from trusting yourself, trying new things, and staying curious.Resources Mentioned:The Visibility Factor  Your Journey to Visibility Workbook (upcoming)Free resource: The Introvert's Guide to Visibility and Influence in the WorkplaceConnect with Susan on LinkedInVisit Susan's website: www.susanmbarber.comQuote Highlights“Every interaction is an opportunity for visibility — don't waste it.”“You were hired for a reason.

‘Bundling' is a well-known business strategy, especially in tech, where it's not only used to increase sales and move slow-selling products, but also to tie customers into an ecosystem (such as Apple or Microsoft).So what about all the unbundling that's been happening in agtech recently? While historically we've seen seed companies offer bundled options, such as seeds, crop management, and data products, there is now a trend towards ‘unbundling' in agriculture. This is exemplified by Corteva's recent decision to unbundle its seed and crop protection divisions into two publicly traded companies. Similarly, Farmers Business Network(FBN) has also spun off its global crop solutions business from its digital marketplace. In this episode, Sarah Nolet unpacks the bundling/unbundling dilemma in agtech with Shane Thomas, founder of Upstream Ag Insights and Matthew Pryor, Founding Partner at Tenacious Ventures.

Key Highlights Embrace Change and Build Your S Curve Whitney emphasizes the importance of continuously “disrupting yourself”—intentionally jumping from your current expertise to a fresh learning curve. This creates new opportunities for growth and prevents stagnation. “If I stay here, I'll stop growing and I'll start dying.” Your Network is Your Career Moat Kelly illustrates how cultivating your network proactively acts as a shield, providing resilience in uncertain job markets and transitions. She advises, “How are you showing up every day?… That network, right, that is your moat.” Consistently nurture relationships—don't wait until you need them. Strategic Self Investment and Energy Management Claire recommends regular self-inventory to manage your energy and optimize what gives you purpose. Simple self-checks (“Where did my energy go today?”) help you identify what to double down on and what to eliminate, fueling sustainable, meaningful progress. Purposeful Growth and Holistic Well-being Jason highlights the ROI of investing not only in your skills but also in your well-being. He encourages us to measure outcomes like peace of mind and rest as real assets: “Gears that grind for too long get worn out and then thrown out. An investment in rest is vital.” Call-to-Action Here's my challenge to you this week. Identify one thing in your life that you want to improve. Maybe you want to understand how to use AI in your job. Maybe you want to become a better public speaker. Maybe you want to learn to be a better cook. Whatever it is, pick it. Then do some research. Find a course, a book, a coach, or a community. Pick a date to start. Not "someday." Not "when things slow down." An actual date on your calendar. The difference between people who grow and people who stay stuck isn't talent or time or money. It's the willingness to pick a date and show up Small, consistent action beats waiting for the "perfect" time every time.

Ever wonder how a profitable company can suddenly face bankruptcy? The answer lies in Working Capital Management (WCM). In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained on FinPod, we delve beyond profit margins to examine the daily cash battle that determines a company's survival and growth.We unpack the paradox of being "paper rich, cash poor" and reveal how WCM masters, such as Apple and Walmart, have turned liquidity into a competitive weapon, while others have learned the hard way that neglecting cash flow can destroy value.This episode covers:The WCM Paradox: Understanding the critical difference between long-term profit and short-term liquidity, and how a broken Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) can lead to failure.Strategic Mastery: How companies achieve strategic negative working capital by using market leverage to get cash from customers instantly while stretching payments to suppliers (effectively an interest-free loan from the supply chain).Lessons from Failure: The stark warning from Kraft Heinz, where a WCM breakdown—bloated inventory and slow receivables—led directly to a painful dividend cut, showing WCM discipline is not optional.The Finance Playbook: Five core strategies every professional must champion to weaponize WCM, including tightening Accounts Receivable terms, centralizing cash with Treasury Management, and using AI for demand forecasting.Critical Ratios: The importance of stress testing your short-term resilience and knowing key ratios that signal liquidity risk long before the crisis hits.

In this Fitness Friday episode, I'm sharing an excerpt from our conversation where he shares the counterintuitive strategies that kept him injury-free and thriving while his endurance athlete peers broke down. We dive into the concept of metabolic flexibility, why he's now on a "campaign to eradicate running" and believes walking is the single best thing humans can do for themselves, and the “eat to live” mindset that can change your relationship with food.  Mark Sisson is the OG of the ancestral health movement, creator of the Primal Blueprint, and founder of Primal Kitchen (sold to Kraft Heinz).

The split was announced 10 years after a merger between the corporate giants and reflects a broader trend among mega-conglomerates that are splitting or dividing up their portfolios due to changing consumer behaviors. Then they discuss Starbucks' health-conscious play with a new protein-packed cold foam to launch on September 29 alongside a new line of protein lattes. Then during the featured segment (15:19), Daniels is joined by Jessica Rolph and Rod Morris, co-founders of the Montessori-inspired toy company Lovevery.

As Pennsylvania sees a rapid rise in data centers — the question of how to meet their massive energy and cooling needs continues to rack the brains of legislators. Nuclear power remains their major focus; another answer could be right under their feet. The effort for Democrats to regain a majority in Congress may begin in northeastern Pennsylvania. The Mayor of Scranton is looking to unseat an incumbent Republican; at the same time, she's running to regain her current post. Over the Labor Day weekend, a state lawmaker completed a more than 100 mile walk from Philadelphia to Harrisburg. It was an effort to bring attention to the need for a state budget to be in place, especially funding for mass transit.

August 31, 2025 Welcome back to Grifty, the podcast where cult wellness, corporate greed, and authoritarian politics meet at a potluck dinner nobody wanted. Tonight's theme is Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Make America Healthy Again plan, better known as MAHA. The Trump team is branding it as a health revolution. But peel back the organic avocado sticker and it looks more like the same old MAGA project: pretend to fight for wellness while quietly dismantling the science and institutions that actually keep people alive. Let's dig in. ⸻ Segment 1: The Food Fight Nobody Ordered Robert F. Kennedy Jr., serving as Trump's Health Secretary, launched MAHA to target ultra-processed foods, artificial dyes, and chemical additives. Big food corporations such as Kraft Heinz, Mars, and Kellogg have already pledged to remove synthetic dyes by 2027 under mounting pressure (Axios (https://www.axios.com/2025/08/31/rfk-robert-kennedy-maha-food-plan)). Supporters frame MAHA as consumer protection. Critics see Kennedy using it to market himself as America's wellness crusader while sidelining medical professionals and spreading distrust in vaccines and science. Questions:     1.    Is this food reform real progress or just wellness-washed authoritarianism     2.    Should we be celebrating slightly cleaner Pop Tarts while the CDC is gutted behind the scenes ⸻ Segment 2: Polls Love Food Reform, Hate Science According to an Axios Ipsos survey, 87 percent of Americans support stronger food safety rules, with bipartisan backing (Axios (https://www.axios.com/2025/08/31/rfk-republicans-gop-business-make-america-healthy-again-maha)). Nobody is begging for more Red Dye No. 40. But vaccines remain a dividing line. Gallup found that Republicans are significantly less supportive of childhood vaccinations than Democrats, leaving MAHA as a unifying food crusade that simultaneously deepens America's science divide (Axios (https://www.axios.com/2025/08/31/rfk-republicans-gop-business-make-america-healthy-again-maha)). Food For Thought:     1.    Does this prove people only support science when it is about snacks     2.    What does it mean when food safety unites but basic vaccines divide ⸻ Segment 3: GOP Breaks Up With Big Food The Republican Party has suddenly distanced itself from Big Food. Instead of defending corporations, GOP leaders are aligning with suburban parents worried about chemical exposure and warning labels on junk food (Axios (https://www.axios.com/2025/08/31/rfk-republicans-gop-business-make-america-healthy-again-maha)). But corporate donors are not walking away quietly. Agricultural giants like Mountaire and Reyes Holdings are resisting regulation, and their financial influence means the fight is just beginning. Questions:     1.    What happens when Republicans break up with Big Food, and who is their rebound     2.    How long before Fox News says Biden wants to ban Oreos ⸻ Segment 4: MAHA's War on Science The Trump administration is using MAHA to undermine public health. The CDC is being overhauled and senior scientists are resigning in protest of political interference and Kennedy's rejection of mRNA technologies (The Hill (https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/5475599-trump-administration-overhauls-cdc/amp/)). Experts warn this is not temporary. Cutting research programs and pushing conspiracy rhetoric risks decades of progress in medicine and public health Questions:     1.    What does America look like when essential oils replace vaccines     2.    How do we measure the long term cost of this brain drain from the CDC ⸻ Segment 5: Killing Cancer Research While Posing As Wellness Saviors While Trump and Kennedy promote MAHA as a children's health movement, they are simultaneously dismantling federal programs designed to find cures for cancer, Alzheimer's, and ALS (House Appropriations Committee (https://democrats-appropriations.house.gov/news/press-releases/trump-team-dismantles-efforts-find-cure-cancer-and-other-deadly-disorders-and)). The cruelty is in the timing. The New York Times reported promising breakthroughs from a new pediatric brain cancer trial group just this week (New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/well/pediatric-brain-cancer-trial-group.html)). While researchers bring hope to families, Washington is choking off the funding that sustains them. Questions:     1.    How do you square calling yourself pro child health while cutting cancer research     2.    Is this just political theater that uses kids as props ⸻ Segment 6: MAHA 2026 Political Weaponized Wellness Kennedy and Trump are positioning MAHA as a key wedge issue for the 2026 midterms. The strategy is to woo suburban women, independents, and younger voters with promises of food safety and wellness transparency (Axios (https://www.axios.com/2025/08/24/rfk-jr-maha-strategy-2026-midterms)). The contradiction is glaring. They say they care about your family's health, yet they are dismantling the very systems that could save your family from disease. It is not Make America Healthy Again. It is Make America Hypocritical Always. Questions:     1.    Is this wellness movement just MAGA wrapped in Whole30 branding     2.    How do Democrats fight back against a political cleanse disguised as health reform ⸻ OUTRO That is MAHA in all its kale washed glory. A movement pretending to save you from Lucky Charms while cutting off cancer research and gutting public health. This is violence with branding. Trump and Kennedy are not protecting families, they are using wellness as a mask for authoritarian power. Kendrick Lamar. Please take us out.

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Jane Ostler from Kantar, the world's leading marketing data and analytics company, whose clients include Google, Diageo, AB InBev, Unilever, and Kraft Heinz. Jane brings clarity to a debate often clouded by headlines, explaining why AI should be seen as a creative sparring partner, not a rival. She outlines how Kantar is helping brands balance efficiency with inspiration, and why the best marketing in the years ahead will come from humans and machines working together. We explore Kantar's research into how marketers really feel about AI adoption, uncovering why so many projects stall in pilot phase, and what steps can help teams move from experimentation to execution. Jane also discusses the importance of data quality as the foundation of effective AI, drawing comparisons to the early days of GDPR when oversight and governance first became front of mind. From Coca-Cola's AI-assisted Christmas ads to predictive analytics that help brands allocate budgets with greater confidence, Jane shares examples of where AI is already shaping marketing in ways that might surprise you. She also highlights the importance of cultural nuance in AI-driven campaigns across 90-plus markets, and why transparency, explainability, and human oversight are vital for earning consumer trust. Whether you're a CMO weighing AI strategy, a brand manager experimenting with new tools, or someone curious about how the biggest advertisers are reshaping their playbooks, this conversation with Jane Ostler offers both inspiration and practical guidance. It's about rethinking AI not as the end of creativity, but as the beginning of a new partnership between data, machines, and human imagination.
