Filip Keuppens is the CEO of The Pickle Juice Company, a leading functional beverage brand known for its science-backed sports drink designed to help stop muscle cramps. Under his leadership, the company has expanded to more than 17,000 retailers across the US and is trusted by elite athletes and professional sports teams. Before leading The Pickle Juice Company, Filip built deep experience in sales, marketing, and retail at major companies, including Kraft Heinz, Warner Home Video, and 20th Century Fox. He is passionate about advancing sports hydration through science, innovation, and consumer education. In this episode… Muscle cramps can strike without warning and derail athletic performance. But what if relieving a cramp had less to do with electrolytes and more to do with your nervous system? What does science reveal about how to stop muscle cramps almost instantly? For Filip Keuppens, a consumer products executive and endurance athlete, muscle cramps are primarily a neurological issue rather than simply the result of dehydration or electrolyte loss. He explains how years of scientific research led to the development of a proprietary formula that interrupts the nerve signals responsible for cramping in 60 seconds or less. He also discusses the challenge of educating consumers about the difference between a scientifically formulated product and ordinary pickle brine. Beyond the science, Filip shares how authentic athlete advocacy, strategic retail partnerships, and a values-driven culture have fueled the company's growth while building trust with consumers. He also offers insights into launching products in major retailers, cultivating loyal brand ambassadors, and using AI to improve business operations. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, host Dr. Jeremy Weisz sits down with Filip Keuppens, CEO of The Pickle Juice Company, to discuss building a science-backed performance beverage brand. They explore the neuroscience behind muscle cramp relief, strategies for expanding into major retail chains, and the power of ambassador marketing. Filip also shares how AI is being explored to improve business efficiency while supporting long-term growth.
Warum ist Aldi nicht an der Börse, obwohl das Unternehmen wahrscheinlich über 100 Milliarden Euro wert ist? Und wieso wurde eine kleine Schraubenhandlung aus Künzelsau mit zwei Mitarbeitern irgendwann zu Würth mit 86.000 Angestellten weltweit? Genau darüber spreche ich in dieser Folge mit Noah Leidinger, den viele von euch aus seinem Podcast "Ohne Aktien wird schwer" kennen.Noah hat zusammen mit Florian Adomeit den Podcast Carrytale gestartet, in dem die beiden die Geschichte und Strategie außergewöhnlicher Unternehmen analysieren. Heute nehme ich euch mit hinter die Kulissen von Aldi und Würth: von der dramatischen Entführung von Theo Albrecht über den Kulturkampf zwischen Aldi Nord und Aldi Süd bis zur engpasskonzentrierten Strategie, mit der Reinhold Würth sein Firmenimperium aufgebaut hat.In dieser Folge analysiere ich mit Noah Leidinger:Warum Aldi in den USA gerade der am schnellsten wachsende Einzelhändler ist und wie sie dort Konkurrenten wie Walmart, Costco und Target unter Druck setzenWieso Aldi in Deutschland und anderen Märkten von Lidl überholt wurde und welche Rolle IT-Investitionen dabei spieltenWie unterschiedlich die Unternehmenskulturen von Aldi Nord und Aldi Süd wirklich sind, inklusive kurioser Anekdoten rund um Theo und Karl AlbrechtDie Entführung von Theo Albrecht 1971 und wie sie bis heute die Zurückhaltung deutscher Milliardärsfamilien prägtWie Würths engpasskonzentrierte Strategie und das Prinzip der Zellteilung das Unternehmen von 2 auf über 86.000 Mitarbeiter wachsen ließenWarum Würth bewusst unprofitable Tochterfirmen im Konzern hältWie bei Würth Millionen-Deals trotz dezentraler Struktur oft in wenigen Stunden entschieden werdenNoahs aktuelle Aktienkäufe und warum er langfristig positiv auf CTS Eventim blicktThemen der Folge:Aldi vs. Lidl: Wer gewinnt den Discounter-Krieg in Europa und den USA?Trader Joe's: Wie Theo Albrecht die Kult-Marke für ein paar Millionen kaufteAldi Nord und Aldi Süd: Zwei Brüder, zwei Firmen, zwei KulturenDie Entführung von Theo Albrecht: Lösegeld, ein Bischof und ein verpatzter SteuerabzugWürths engpasskonzentrierte Strategie und das Wachstum durch ZellteilungReinhold Würth und die 10-Millionen-Freigabe in 5 MinutenWarum Konsumgüterriesen wie Nestlé, Procter & Gamble und Kraft Heinz gegen Eigenmarken kämpfenNoahs Blick auf CTS Eventim, Fastenal und das Startup ZellerfeldDer neue Podcast Carrytale von Noah Leidinger und Florian AdomeitFazit: Aldi und Würth zeigen auf ganz unterschiedliche Weise, wie radikaler Fokus zum Erfolgsgeheimnis werden kann: Aldi durch ein kompromisslos schlankes Sortiment, Würth durch die permanente Konzentration auf den größten Engpass im Unternehmen.

Is your HR function organised the way employees actually experience it, or just the way it's always been done? In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, David Green is joined by Tony Truong, VP of People Strategy, Operations, Technology and Analytics at Chime, to unpack why most HR functions are still organised in silos, by specialty, while employees experience work as a series of moments: getting hired, being onboarded, going for a promotion. Tony has spent the last two years closing that gap, rebuilding Chime's people function from the ground up as the company has scaled into a public company. In this episode, David and Tony discuss: Why the real limitation holding HR back is fragmentation, not ambition What it's taken to rebuild a people function from the ground up at a newly public company How AI has reshaped recruiting at Chime, cutting a process that used to take days down to hours Tony's three-stage framework for thinking about AI's role in the business: assistance, automation, and orchestration What it actually looks like to move people analytics from the periphery of HR to the centre of how a business makes decisions This episode is sponsored by Valence. Nadia, Valence's AI coaching platform, connects talent strategy to the work employees are actually doing — offering coaching from the frontline to the boardroom, and surfacing organisational insights that weren't visible before. As the most widely deployed coach in the Fortune 500, Nadia is already helping global leaders like Nestlé, Delta, CVS, and Kraft Heinz transform talent at scale.

Dividend investing explained for beginners, fast. If a $100 stock pays a $5 dividend, do you have $105 — or $95 plus $5 in cash? Meb Faber's survey found only about 1 in 4 everyday investors get it right. I cover why dividends aren't free money, why a high dividend yield is often a warning sign (GE, Kraft Heinz, AT&T, Intel, Walgreens all cut theirs), and the one rule that matters most: buy the company, not the dividend. Plus, I show you how to check if a dividend is actually safe for free using the free cash flow payout ratio — and why the earnings payout ratio most websites show you can be misleading. If you're wondering how dividends work or whether high-yield dividend stocks are a good idea, this is the 7-minute version.[Link to YouTube Video]Special Offer - One FREE Month of Simply Safe Dividends... no credit card required!

"We need to evolve from procurement professionals into business leaders with procurement expertise." - Israel Santiesteban, Former Chief Procurement Officer and Head of Supply Chain The next evolution of procurement is about so much more than cost savings. With new digital tools and relentless business change, leaders are being asked to deliver value in new ways and, as a result, develop talent for roles that didn't exist a few years ago. In this episode, Philip Ideson speaks with Israel Santiesteban, a former CPO and supply chain leader with experience across Danone, Kraft Heinz, Schreiber Foods, and more, who's spent decades delivering end-to-end transformation in fast-moving sectors. They discuss what it really takes to unlock the power of data and AI, and why the next generation of procurement jobs will look very different. Israel also opens up about the risks and opportunities of working with startups, the reality behind scenario planning, and why high-performing teams need to shift from transactional work to strategic value-creation. In this episode, Israel also discusses: -How to cut through the hype and use AI for quick wins in neglected indirect spend -Discovering how CPOs can partner with startups for tailored solutions -Ways to move from reactive firefighting to true predictive scenario planning -The importance of building new procurement roles that blend digital fluency with business acumen -Rethinking procurement metrics that show value, not just savings Links: Israel Santiesteban on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/israel-santiesteban-43627b1b/ Subscribe to the AOP Newsletter: https://resources.artofprocurement.com/art-of-procurement-podcast-subscribe Subscribe to Art of Procurement on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ArtofProcurement
What would your organisation look like if it worked more like an octopus — distributed, adaptive, and capable of sensing and reacting without waiting for instructions from the centre? In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, David Green is joined by Phil Lebrun and Jana Werner, Executives in Residence at Amazon Web Services and authors of The Octopus Organization, to explore why so many transformations fail to stick — and what a more adaptive, human approach to change actually looks like. Join them as they discuss:What the octopus organisation metaphor is, and why it offers a different model to the traditional, hierarchical "Tin Man" organisation The three themes — clarity, ownership, and curiosity — that separate organisations that adapt well from those that don't Why transformation can no longer be treated as a one-time event HR's evolving role in driving and supporting transformation How to measure whether change is actually working, beyond vanity metrics Real examples of leaders and organisations putting these ideas into practice This episode is sponsored by Valence.

If you're dealing with foot pain, balance issues, knee discomfort, or aches that seem to appear out of nowhere, your footwear may be playing a bigger role than you think. Modern shoes can change the way your feet function and why strong, mobile feet are essential for staying active and independent as you age. You'll discover practical strategies to improve foot strength, support better movement, and make smarter footwear choices without giving up comfort. By the end, you may never look at your favorite pair the same way again—and you'll know exactly how to tell if they're among the shoes ruining your foot health. My Guest: Mark Sisson has been shaking up the world of health and fitness for over twenty years. He ignited the ancestral health movement in 2006 with his wildly successful blog, Mark's Daily Apple, and his best-selling book The Primal Blueprint. He helped popularize the ketogenic diet and the concept of intermittent fasting with his New York Times best-selling books, The Keto Reset Diet and Two Meals a Day. He gave millions of health-minded grocery shoppers access to healthier sauces and dressings with his Primal Kitchen Food company. He sold Primal Kitchen to Kraft Heinz for $200MM. And now he wants to change the way the world walks with his latest venture, a shoe company called Peluva and his latest book Born to Walk. Questions We Answer in This Episode: How did your journey from health entrepreneur to footwear innovator begin? Is it better to start walking in cushioned shoes or transition directly to minimalist footwear? What happens to your feet when you switch from traditional shoes to Peluva shoes? Why is the big toe considered one of the most important joints for movement, strength, and longevity? If you're overweight, out of shape, or new to exercise, what type of footwear should you start walking in? Are we seeing a shift toward healthier footwear choices for children and future generations? If you could go back to your athletic prime, how might stronger foot health have changed your future as an athlete? Do you miss distance running, and has your perspective on exercise changed with age? Is minimalist footwear right for everyone, and who benefits most from it?

The Tom Dupree Show | Podcast Show Notes Buying a Stock Is Easy. Knowing When to Sell Is Everything. The Tom Dupree Show | Dupree Financial Group | dupreefinancial.com | 859-233-0400 Episode Description Every investor knows how to buy a stock. But the moment that determines real wealth — or real loss — is the moment you decide to sell. In this episode of The Tom Dupree Show, Tom Dupree, Lead Advisor Mike Johnson, and in-house analyst James Dupree lay out the sell discipline that has guided Dupree Financial Group’s portfolios for decades, including what triggers a trim, what triggers a full exit, and why waiting for someone else to tell you to sell is one of the costliest mistakes in investing. The conversation covers the full range of situations investors face: growth stocks valued on revenue and margin guidance, dividend payers evaluated on current yield, bonds that raised red flags in a management meeting, and legacy holdings kept alive by emotional attachment rather than logic. The team also addresses taxes, risk profile management, dry powder strategy, and the very human pull of FOMO that causes investors to ride winners too long — and losers even longer. “Buying a stock is easy. Selling a stock — regardless of whether it’s up or down — is a lot harder to do.” Topics Covered ● Why sell discipline is the foundation of a sound investment process — not an afterthought ● Valuing growth stocks on revenue guidance and gross margin targets rather than earnings alone ● How current yield signals when a dividend stock has priced in too much optimism ● The role of FOMO and emotional attachment in holding positions too long ● Real examples: Freddie Mac, WorldCom, Kraft Heinz, and a local company that went up 20x and back to zero ● Trimming vs. full exits: how partial sales create dry powder for new opportunities ● Tax-smart selling: harvesting losses, the 30-day wash sale rule, and gifting low-basis shares to charity ● Risk profile management: why one position becoming overweight is itself a sell signal ● Why Intel’s 26-year performance history is a cautionary tale about holding without a thesis ● The danger of relying on a single analyst’s buy list — and getting no sell guidance when markets turn Key Takeaways ● Have a sell target before you buy. When you purchase a stock, establish the price or valuation level at which you would be satisfied selling. If the stock blows past that target, revisit the thesis — don’t just let momentum make the decision for you. ● Valuation drives both buying and selling. A great company at the wrong price is still the wrong investment. Conversely, a mediocre company can become a strong buy when it gets cheap enough. Regularly re-evaluate what you own against current valuations, not just original purchase logic. ● Current yield is a sell signal for income stocks. When a dividend-paying stock rises sharply, its yield compresses. If a stock yielded 6.5% when purchased and now yields 3.4% solely because the price doubled, the market is pricing in a level of optimism worth locking in. Consider trimming. ● Trimming creates options. Most sell decisions don’t have to be all-or-nothing. Taking partial profits — and parking proceeds in money market as dry powder — gives you the flexibility to redeploy into new opportunities when they appear without being fully out of a strong holding. ● Watch your risk profile, not just your returns. If one position grows to become the largest holding in the portfolio due to price appreciation alone, that concentration is a risk even if the company is excellent. Rebalancing is not a sign of doubt — it’s disciplined portfolio management. ● Don’t let outdated advice run your portfolio. Tom shared the story of a widow who refused to sell two stocks because her late husband said never to — leaving her with a 2.1% yield when a redeployment could have generated 7%. Circumstances change. Investment advice should too. ● Emotions are the enemy of good sell decisions. FOMO causes investors to hold too long on the way up. Denial causes them to hold too long on the way down. An investment committee, a written thesis, and objective valuation metrics help counteract the emotional pull that derails individual investors. ● Taxes are part of the sell equation. In taxable accounts, realized gains have a cost. Pairing gains with losses (tax-loss harvesting), utilizing the 30-day wash sale rule carefully, and gifting low-basis shares to charity are all legitimate tools to make selling more tax-efficient.

The market tried to bounce… and failed. SPY briefly pushed higher, then rolled over hard, tagged the 50-day moving average, and left behind a nasty lower-low candle. Now the warning signs that were hiding under the surface are starting to show up where everyone can see them.In this breakdown, we dig into why OVTLYR sell signals started flashing before the market weakness became obvious. Buy signals are fading, sell signals are rising, and only 29% of the market still has buy signals. Tech is getting hit hard, volatility is expanding, and the big leaders that used to carry the market are now leading it lower.Apple, Sonos, Sony, gold, silver, copper, and major tech areas like communication equipment, solar, and consumer electronics are all showing pressure. And with rates rising, the dollar pushing toward a key pivot, and the 2/10 spread still moving in the wrong direction, this market is getting a lot less forgiving.But money always rotates somewhere. Right now, the stronger areas are real estate, healthcare, industrials, utilities, and consumer defensive. Inside staples, packaged foods are starting to wake up, with names like Campbell's, Hormel, Smuckers, and Kraft Heinz showing why boring stocks can matter when the market gets ugly.✅ SPY failed bounce, sell signal, lower lows, and 50-day test✅ Tech sector breakdown, Apple, Sonos, Sony, and volatility expansion✅ Rates, dollar, gold, silver, copper, and 2/10 spread✅ Consumer defensive, utilities, staples, and sector rotation✅ Campbell's, Hormel, Smuckers, Kraft Heinz, and packaged food stocksIf you're watching this market and wondering where money is rotating while tech breaks down… this one shows the shift happening in real time.Subscribe to OVTLYR for disciplined trading strategies that actually make sense.

Change management is the reason most manufacturing improvement projects quietly stall, even when the technical work is sound and the tools are right.Vlad Romanov and Dave Griffith unpack their own change management war stories from across two decades in industrial automation. Vlad frames change management as understanding risk to the business and to every stakeholder, then putting the process in place that lets the organization absorb that risk. Technical feasibility is the easy half of any project. Getting humans to consistently work the new way is the half that wins or loses the budget.Vlad joined Procter & Gamble at a site rated four on P&G's Integrated Work Systems maturity scale, the highest in North America at the time. Every loss event triggered a structured root cause analysis cascade. Operator, mechanic, operations engineer, and only then the engineering department. He later moved to Kraft Heinz, which had purchased the same IWS toolkit from P&G. The tools were on the shelf. The site rating was effectively zero. He had spent his early career learning to use the tools without having to deploy them, and that gap is where most transformation programs die.Dave's lens is more political. Change management starts with one question engineers rarely ask. What is in it for the person you are asking to change? He tells the Joe story, a lead operator with more than 35 years on the floor who interrupted a connected workforce rollout meeting to point out that his team had cycled through every methodology fad of the last two decades. None had stuck. Dave's team asked what hurt the most. Joe kept training new operators who left for a dollar an hour more down the street. The fix was QR codes on equipment linked to procedures Joe recorded once. Joe went from skeptic to evangelist in one session. Find the operator with the deepest tenure, solve their pain, and let them carry the change.The episode is also honest about what well intentioned incentives do when they miss the mark. Vlad walks through an RCA rollout where management offered a fifty dollar gift card to whoever submitted the most reports each week. The team got a stack of paper. None of it shortened downtime. When real process change goes through a plant, throughput typically drops twenty to thirty percent for weeks or months. That cost has to be visible to leadership before the project starts.Two practical heuristics close the episode. As a systems integrator deploying MES and SCADA across food and beverage plants, Vlad could often predict success within the first demo by how the room reacted. Continuous improvement teams leaned in. Whiteboard sites pushed back. Dave reinforces that change has to start at the top. If the executive sponsor blows off steering meetings, the floor reads that signal. Change management is a habit, not a project, and habits are built small. Pick one workflow, prove it works, and let the next one earn its slot.Timestamps0:00 Introduction and Automate trade show preview1:30 Booth commitments: Siemens, Horner, and Tigoor6:00 Dave's Automate session and 4IR booth duty8:10 Predictions for Automate: physical AI, cobots, and the AI conversation13:10 Defining change management in manufacturing22:30 From P&G IWS to Kraft Heinz: tools versus deployment maturity28:30 What is in it for the person you are asking to change35:30 The RCA cascade at P&G compared to no process elsewhere42:30 The fifty dollar gift card incentive that backfired46:00 The Joe story: QR codes solving real operator pain58:30 Reading change management success in the first meeting1:07:00 Start small: the closing takeawayAbout Your HostsVladimir Romanov is a co-host of The Manufacturing Hub Podcast and the founder of Joltek, an independent manufacturing and industrial automation consulting firm specializing in modernization strategy, digital transformation, and workforce development.

Tom and Don dismantle the myth of “free money” from high-dividend stocks and ETFs, explaining why chasing yield often leads to poor diversification, lower total returns, and disappointing long-term performance. Using examples like Campbell's, Kraft Heinz, and Whirlpool, they show how dividend-paying companies can still destroy shareholder value while the broader market marches higher. The episode also features listener questions on military retirement planning with a pension-heavy income stream, asset allocation and Roth contributions near retirement, how to structure a UC retirement portfolio using low-cost index funds and small-cap value tilts, and the smartest way to generate retirement withdrawals from a balanced portfolio. Along the way, Don plugs his new Civil War novel The Line Uncrossed and the hosts revisit some old radio history.0:05 Dividend investing myths and “free money” thinking2:18 Why retirees are drawn to dividend stocks and ETFs4:03 Huge inflows into high-dividend ETFs despite lower expected returns5:19 Total return vs. income investing explained5:45 Campbell's Soup and Kraft Heinz as dividend trap examples7:06 Whirlpool cuts long-running dividend after financial strain8:10 Why total return matters more than yield9:10 Vanguard Dividend Growth vs. S&P 500 performance comparison10:44 The dangers of concentrated dividend strategies12:19 Why “magic income” strategies usually disappoint13:32 Military retirement caller asks about pensions, Roths, and mortgage payoff17:43 Using pensions as bond-like income in portfolio allocation18:41 Caller shifts from U.S.-only investing toward global diversification20:28 Don discusses The Line Uncrossed and companion Civil War stories22:30 UC employee asks about AVGE/DFAW vs. ultra-cheap UC index fund24:39 Suggested mix using low-cost index fund plus small-cap value tilts26:04 Listener thanks Don for decades of investing guidance27:58 Retirement withdrawal strategies from a 60/40 portfolio29:19 Rebalancing as the primary source of retirement cash flow30:14 Why retirement distribution planning matters32:35 Fiduciary advice vs. product sales pitches33:54 Friendly rivalry with Stacking BenjaminsQuestions?

Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/sisson2026 In this episode with Mark Sisson, you'll discover why VO2 Max may be overrated as the gold standard for longevity, and why chasing it cost Mark 32 pounds of muscle and the real-world function that actually matters. You'll explore his "Old Man Olympics" framework: a decathlete's approach to fitness at 72, spanning strength, speed, balance, and endurance. You'll also get his take on cold plunging, alcohol, biohacking, AI, and find out why foot health may be the single most overlooked lever in your longevity toolkit, from bunions to glute activation to big toe function. Mark Sisson ignited the ancestral health movement with Mark's Daily Apple and The Primal Blueprint, popularized keto and intermittent fasting with The Keto Reset Diet and Two Meals a Day, and sold Primal Kitchen to Kraft Heinz for $200M. He now runs Peluva, a toe-separated shoe company built around restoring foot strength and healthy gait, and is the author of Born to Walk.

You're navigating a food system that was never designed to help you succeed. Kasper Wickzén spent 15 years inside major food companies (Kraft Heinz, Danone) watching how products were engineered to drive cravings, not nourish bodies. Then his father got diabetes eating what most of us would call a normal diet. That was the turning point. Now he's the co-founder of Sigrid, and after 15 years of research and six clinical trials, he's bringing to market something Dr. G calls one of the most revolutionary metabolic tools he's seen: a natural silica-based particle that slows digestion so your body can actually handle the energy coming in. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why blood sugar spikes aren't just about junk food - bread, rice, potatoes, and pasta are doing the same thing to your system meal after meal • How Sigrid's SiPore® technology physically slows enzyme activity in the gut to flatten glucose curves, reduce cravings, and extend energy - without blocking digestion • Why only 1 in 10 Americans is actually metabolically healthy, and what that means for your energy, mood, weight, and relationships If you eat a modern diet, this episode is for you.

When it comes to thriving, listening to our inner compass is crucial. Living out our purpose alongside others can only really happen when we use the tool of discernment.

Bonnie Wan is a strategist, bestselling author and creator of The Life Brief: A Playbook for No-Regrets Living. She took the idea of a brief from her marketing campaigns, and repurposed it for our creative and spiritual lives. Bonnie shares her challenging experience writing her own life brief – and the surprising path it led her down. Bonnie walks us through how to apply the life brief to a big decision, which begins with allowing our human messiness to come to the surface. And more often than not, living out our purpose is relational. Bonnie has over 30 years of experience guiding major companies. At advertising agency Goodby Silverstein & Partners, Bonnie has led strategy for BMW, Comcast/Xfinity, Frito-Lay, HP, Kraft-Heinz, and PepsiCo. She also led award-winning campaigns fighting racial injustice, child sex trafficking, cyberbullying, college campus rape, and gender inequality.

If you're a Canadian food or beverage brand wondering why retailers keep asking for a distributor, this episode is your answer. Phil and Kenny sit down with Stacey Kravitz, President of UNFI Canada, for one of the most important conversations we've had on the show. Stacey brings 20+ years at Kraft and Kraft Heinz — and nearly 10 years leading UNFI Canada through COVID, supply chain chaos, and a rapidly consolidating grocery landscape — to give brands a rare, unfiltered look at how distribution actually works in this country. Whether you're still selling out of your car, just hit your first retail listing, or you're scaling nationally — this episode will reshape how you think about distribution as a growth strategy, not just a middleman.
In this episode of The Food Professor Podcast, hosts Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois welcome back to the mic Michael Graydon, CEO of Food, Health & Consumer Products of Canada (FHCP), for a timely and wide-ranging conversation on the state of Canada's food manufacturing sector, regulatory pressures, and the future of food policy. Graydon delivers a candid assessment of an industry at a crossroads. While large-scale manufacturers like Coca-Cola, McCain, and Kraft Heinz are doubling down on Canada with major capital investments, small and medium-sized food producers—over 5,000 across the country—are facing mounting challenges. From limited access to capital and increasing regulatory burdens to retail consolidation and “pay-to-play” shelf dynamics, the pressure on emerging brands is intensifying. A central theme of the discussion is regulation. Graydon outlines how Canada's regulatory environment—estimated to cost the industry billions annually—has become a structural barrier to innovation and competitiveness. He calls for urgent modernization and the reduction of red tape, warning that without meaningful reform, Canada risks falling behind global peers. The conversation also explores trade uncertainty, including the potential implications of a renegotiated or disrupted North American trade framework. With deeply integrated supply chains across Canada and the U.S., food manufacturers are navigating volatility while delaying investment decisions amid policy ambiguity. Graydon also shares insights on the Grocery Code of Conduct, emphasizing its importance in stabilizing relationships between retailers and manufacturers. While not a direct solution to food affordability, he positions the code as a critical mechanism for restoring balance, fostering collaboration, and enabling long-term innovation across the food ecosystem. Beyond the interview, the episode opens with a robust discussion on the latest food and agriculture news shaping Canada. Topics include government policy shifts with the new Liberal majority, the amazing innovative work of the Greater Vancouver Food Bank, positive fuel tax implications, food price dynamics, supply chain developments, and the growing divide in Canada's “K-shaped economy,” where rising demand from higher-income consumers continues to put pressure on affordability for others. We end by celebrating a key role in restaurants, a Vancouver restaurant that epitomizes the bespoke tin seafood TikTok trend (Como Taperia), and former NFL star Laurent Duvernay-Tardif purchasing a Montreal bakery.

Carlos Abrams-Rivera, former CEO of Kraft Heinz, spent six years leading one of the world's largest food companies through crisis, transformation, and constant change. In this conversation with Ryan, he reflects on what it takes to navigate a role where there is no playbook—and what he's learned stepping away from it. He shares the leadership framework that guided him—empathy, vision, and courage—and why those traits matter more than ever in today's volatile environment. They talk about the reality of modern leadership, from balancing data with instinct to operating far beyond your job description, and how clarity and ownership shape strong organizations. Carlos also opens up about this transitional moment in his life, the lessons he's carrying forward, and why growth often comes from choosing the harder path.

What does it really mean to create a psychologically safe workplace and can you actually measure it? In this episode of Empowering Workplaces, host Sanja Licina, PhD sits down with Dr. Serena Huang, AI leader, people analytics expert, and author of The Inclusion Equation. Together, they explore the intersection of data, AI, and human behavior, unpacking how organizations can move beyond good intentions and start building environments where people feel safe to speak up, contribute, and challenge the status quo. Serena shares insights from her experience leading AI and analytics at companies like PayPal, GE, and Kraft Heinz, including the surprising moment when an algorithm predicted her own resignation. The conversation dives into responsible AI, bias in hiring technologies, and why psychological safety is far more nuanced than most organizations realize. If you care about leadership, culture, and the future of work, this episode offers both practical frameworks and thought-provoking perspectives on turning data into meaningful change.

Rhys and Jesse kick off a two‑part deep dive into how Tim Hortons went from a beloved Canadian community hub to something that feels strangely empty. They start with personal nostalgia: Jesse's memories of the late‑90s Tim Hortons as a true “third place” where you'd just show up and see who was there, playing cards, smoking in the glassed‑off section, and chatting for hours. Rhys compares that to the role pubs used to play in the UK, and together they explore how those informal social spaces have eroded over time, feeding into a wider loneliness problem. From there, Rhys walks through the early history of Tim Hortons: NHL defenceman Tim Horton's partnership with Jim Charade, the rise of franchising, the pivotal role of ex‑cop and Dairy Queen franchisee Ron Joyce, Horton's death and struggles with alcoholism, and the complicated saga of his widow Lori's buyout, lawsuits, and the question of what would have been the “right” thing to do for the family and the brand.The episode then traces Tim Hortons' expansion through its merger with Wendy's, its growth into Canada's largest fast‑food chain, and the political optics of Prime Minister Stephen Harper celebrating its return to Canadian ownership. Finally, Rhys introduces 3G Capital, the Brazilian‑rooted investment firm that has built a global empire by acquiring brands like Burger King and Kraft Heinz, then aggressively cutting costs, closing plants, and boosting profit margins while hollowing out quality, staff security, and community connection. With Tim Hortons' 2014 sale to 3G's Restaurant Brands International, the stage is set for the “hollowing” of a nostalgic brand Canadians once saw as their national living room.For premium content, socials, merch, to leave a voicemail or message us go to canadaisboring.com Hosted on Acast.

Kellogg Company divided itself into WK Kellogg and Kellanova. But then, less than two years later…each got absorbed by another Big CPG portfolio. Keurig Dr Pepper is going through a strategic separation process. Kraft Heinz announced it will split into two standalone businesses. PepsiCo is currently dealing with an activist investor urging portfolio simplification. And those are just the most buzzworthy “breakup and buyout” examples within the CPG industry! Though, many pundits seem to be misreading these “new configurations” as some type of signal that the “Big CPG” empire has collapsed. Yet, Big CPG is flushed with resources and full of strong (intelligent) human capital…that know the future will be shaped by those who disrupt themselves. In fact, a recent PwC report showed 49% of CPG executives believe their current business model won't survive the next decade…a rate that is seven times higher than the average across other industries. So, what if the next big CPG disruptor isn't a startup, but a legacy brand rebuilt from the inside out that's better equipped to navigate changing consumer preferences, increasing competitive pressure, and heightened economic uncertainty?

In this episode, Jeff sits down with San Francisco City Attorney, David Chiu, to discuss his first-in-the-nation lawsuit against major ultra-processed food manufacturers. Drawing parallels to Big Tobacco litigation, David explains how companies like Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and Kraft Heinz have used addiction science and deceptive marketing – often targeting children and low-income communities – to maximize profits while leaving taxpayers to cover the healthcare costs. They explore the tobacco industry's direct involvement in building the processed food industry, the 1999 executive meeting that predicted devastating health consequences, and why this lawsuit could reshape how we think about America's food system.
