If I can do it, you know, if I can give somebody a bit of information that can help them out, then I want to be able to share that information with them.Pallet Pros is more of your brick and mortar distribution side. So we physically have a physical building. We have pallets there and we have workers.So at my level, I'm not really seeing an impact with tariffs. I have strategically placed my business where I work with small and medium sized businesses that for the most part ship within the country so they're not having to ship stuff overseas.My network is built around redundancy. So where if I'm not physically available, I have other people that can do the work for meWhen I come home, my brain switches from entrepreneur to now husband and father.It's beautiful chaos, running two businesses while raising a five-month-old.Legacy, for me, is building something that still operates after I'm gone. - BrandonConsistency is the number one thing if you want to succeed in the pallet business.

Was passiert, wenn zwei Agenturgründerinnen ihre Erfahrung in Branding und Digitalmarketing nehmen — und statt für Kund:innen eine eigene Marke launchen? In dieser Folge sprechen Laurence Saunier und Marlena Hien über die Gründung von Bears with Benefits, ihr schnelles Wachstum und den Exit 2022. Sie erzählen, wie ein 3.000-Stück-Test auf Amazon zur Bestseller-Kachel wurde, warum Packaging fürs Smartphone entworfen werden muss und weshalb Bootstrapping ihnen in der Krise den Hals rettete.Wir reden über:• Amazon als Launchpad — wie Traffic, Reviews und schnelle Iteration den ersten Product-Market-Fit brachten. • Retail-Hebel: Vom Amazon-Bestseller zur Listung bei Douglas, dm & Rossmann — und wie das Vertrauen in den Handel reingetragen wurde. • Packaging = Content: Design, das auf Instagram funktioniert — und warum die Dose auf Feed & Shelf zugleich performen muss. • Bootstrapped statt VC: Warum Profitabilität in einer späteren Krise zum strategischen Vorteil wurde. • Female-First Brandbuilding: Feminine Leadership, Community-Aufbau und die Rolle von Influencer-Marketing als Performance-Hebel. • Exit & Next Steps: Warum sie verkauft haben, wie sie den Übergang gestaltet haben — und wie sie jetzt als Gründerinnen, Investorinnen und Mentorinnen weitermachen.Ein inspirierendes Gespräch über Mut, Pragmatismus und das Handwerk, aus einem Produkt eine Kulturmarke zu bauen.

From a vandalized 4×8 roadside sign to a $17K third deal—and eventually 30+ purchases halfway through 2025—Josh Jarbo breaks down the real, unglamorous mechanics of finding, funding, and flipping in a picky-buyer, longer-DOM market. What you'll learn: From zero to proof of concept: Nine months to the first $3K wholesale check—and why that mattered more than later $50K+ wins. Marketing vs. selling: Billboards, big signs, texts (then), and why rapport at the kitchen table still closes the buy side. Margins that keep you alive: Why Josh targets $40–50K flip spreads and often wholesales anything that nets $40K+ now. When deals go sideways: A wrong-fit contractor that vaporized $30K—and the guardrails Josh uses today. Capital stacks that scale: Graduating from personal cash to private/hard money and simple rules to avoid sleepless nights. Owner-finance alchemy: Packaging multiple assets (warehouse, office, storage) with better-than-bank terms. Market snapshot (mid-2025): Under $400K still moves; plan for ~3 months on market; buyers are picky—buy right or get nicked on inspection. Going farther afield: A smooth Florida penthouse flip (4.5 hours away)—and why your first deal should be local. Who Should Listen:

Think greener: McCarter chats with Shawn Naughton, founder of Green for Green, Colorado's pioneer cannabis packaging recycling business to dive into the world of cannabis sustainability. As the legal cannabis industry grows, so does its environmental footprint—especially when it comes to single-use plastic and child-resistant packaging. Shawn shares how Green for Green is tackling this issue head-on by creating innovative solutions for recycling cannabis containers, educating consumers, and partnering with dispensaries statewide. We discuss the challenges of recycling in a highly regulated industry, how policy can support sustainability, and what other states can learn from Colorado's approach.This episode is sponsored by Good Trees, McCarter's favorite rosin brand in Colorado!

Plastic packaging is everywhere—from grocery store shelves to e-commerce deliveries—and it's one of the largest contributors to global plastic waste. In this episode of People, Places, Planet, host Dara Albrecht is joined by Caroline DeLoach (Atlantic Packaging), Daniel Zlatnik (CalRecycle), and Dacie Meng (Ellen MacArthur Foundation). Together, they unpack the complexities of the packaging market, the developments reshaping it, and the promise of a circular economy.The conversation explores the environmental, social, and health impacts of the way packaging is produced, used, and disposed of, the role of extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws in shifting costs and incentives upstream, and innovations—from AI-powered recycling to closed-loop reuse systems. The discussion also takes a deep dive into California's landmark SB 54, examining how its ambitious goals could influence policy nationwide. With perspectives spanning policy, law, and industry, the episode offers an in-depth look at how international treaties, state-level regulations, and private-sector action are converging to address the plastic waste crisis and make packaging more sustainable.Current State of Plastic Production and Waste (01:32)Towards a Circular Economy (13:07)International Efforts to Address Plastic Waste (17:14)Innovations and the Role of the Private Sector (21:17)Consumer Choices and Sustainable Packaging (35:19)Introduction to EPR (37:36)California's EPR Law and Its Features (48:04)Closing Thoughts (01:01:47)This episode was recorded on June 20, 2025, prior to the start of INC-5.2, which is currently underway.

What if a pool could clean a river—and a building could rewrite culture? Would you swim in the East River? What does “local” look like when it doesn't mimic the block around it?Architect Dong-Ping Wang (FOOD Architects)—who's collaborated with Kanye West and Virgil Abloh—breaks down architecture as a cultural engine, from hyperlocal listening to rapid, messy sketching that invites feedback fast. He shares a Barbados culinary design studio with Pierre Seurat (Ghetto Gastro), why WhatsApp-level intimacy with clients beats sterile presentations, and how a tiny 6–8 person team caps projects to stay deeply hands-on.We dive into PLUS POOL: the plus-shaped, river-filtering pool that turned a single rendering, a patent, and a site into a movement—and why the biggest risk isn't tech, it's convincing New Yorkers to jump in. DPW also opens up about shaping an Asian-American architectural language, rethinking practice as an “architectural production studio,” and the simplest way to read a space: look up at the ceiling.https://food-arch.com/https://www.instagram.com/dongpingwong/https://pluspool.com/https://www.instagram.com/foodmahjongclub/00:00 The Importance of Local Culture in Architecture02:02 Navigating Client Relationships and Intimacy05:27 Architecture as a Cultural Vehicle06:49 Fluidity in Architectural Practice09:09 Working with Creative Clients10:21 Scaling Intimacy in Architecture12:28 The Architectural Production Studio Model16:04 The Plus Pool Project: Origins and Development24:25 The Power of Packaging in Architecture27:40 Local Context and Cultural Identity30:34 Post-Occupancy Analysis and Success Metrics32:58 Exploring Scales of Architectural Practice37:02 Cultural Identity and Architectural Expression39:43 Lessons from Other Creative Fields45:36 Cultural Shifts and Future Perspectives

In today's episode of The Art Coaching Club Podcast, we're starting with a solo chat about one of the most overlooked (but powerful) elements of running an art business: intentional packaging. I'll share how great packaging can boost your brand, increase perceived value, and get people talking about your work—plus simple, budget-friendly ideas you can implement right away. Then we shift gears to an inspiring interview with Tiffany Jones, Dallas-based designer and founder of Avenue 8, a super-premium canned cocktail brand shaking up the spirits industry. Tiffany shares how her background in design helped her craft a product that's both beautiful and bold, the moment that sparked the idea, what she uncovered in her deep dive into the RTD market, and what it means to build a women-led company in a male-dominated space.

Plastic pollution is one of the defining environmental challenges of our time—microplastics are now found in our oceans, our soil, our drinking water, and even in our bloodstreams. But what if we could make high-performance materials that look, feel, and function like plastic—without being plastic at all? Enter Xampla. Born out of the University of Cambridge, Xampla is a materials science innovation company that's developed a new class of plastic-free, fully biodegradable materials that offer a drop-in replacement for the most polluting types of plastic. Their flagship line, known as Morro™, is made from natural plant proteins like those found in peas, potatoes, sunflowers and many other sources. It's already launched in the market with global brands for food service packaging, and it's able to eliminate the most polluting plastics in a whole range of products from barrier coatings for paper, microcapsules in personal and homecare products, and soluble films for homecare and edible applications. In this episode, I'm joined by Xampla's CEO, Alexandra French—a veteran of the chemical and materials industries with more than 25 years of global leadership experience. Since taking the reins in 2023, Alexandra has been leading Xampla through its next chapter: moving from a world-changing lab discovery to a commercially scalable solution. We'll talk about how Xampla's technology works, the environmental promise it holds, and how Alexandra is navigating the complex journey of building a startup at the intersection of science, manufacturing, and sustainability. We'll also explore the company's recent commercialization and the licensing business model it's pursuing.

In this episode, Elixir Wizard Charles Suggs sits down with Victor Björklund to map out the landscape of Python integration in Elixir applications. From HTTP APIs and external services to embedded runtimes like ErlPort, PythonX, and the Venomous library, we evaluate each approach's impact on performance, coupling, and developer experience. Victor draws on real-world examples like Scrapy-based web scraping and the Swedish BankID authentication to illustrate best practices for error handling, process pooling, and effective telemetry across the BEAM boundary. We also tackle the practical side of deployment: packaging Python dependencies in Mix releases, mocking Python calls in tests, and deploying multi-language apps with confidence. Wrapping up, Victor shares his wishlist for even tighter interop (think multiple Python interpreter instances per VM) and offers low-risk entry points, like automating monthly reports, for teams ready to explore the power of Python's ecosystem within Elixir. Key topics discussed in this episode: Integration methods: HTTP APIs, ports, ErlPort, PythonX, Venomous Performance vs. coupling trade-offs across interop patterns Managing the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) with process pools Leveraging mature Python libraries (Scrapy, BankID, etc.) Error handling strategies across BEAM↔Python boundaries Testing mixed-language systems: mocks and integration tests Packaging and deploying Python alongside Elixir releases Monitoring and telemetry for multi-language pipelines Functional programming advantages in Elixir workflows Tool selection guidance by project requirements Future possibilities: multiple Python interpreters in one VM Community resources for Python–Elixir interop help Links mentioned: jawdropping.io https://cplusplus.com/ https://www.python.org/ https://react.dev/ https://nodejs.org/en https://erlport.org/ https://hexdocs.pm/pythonx/Pythonx.html https://pyrlang.github.io/Pyrlang/ Python GIL (Global Interpreter Lock): https://realpython.com/python-gil/ https://github.com/devinus/poolboy https://hexdocs.pm/venomous/Venomous.html Try-catch https://syntaxdb.com/ref/python/try-catch https://www.scrapy.org/ https://www.bankid.com/en/ https://www.phoenixframework.org/ https://www.tzeyiing.com/posts/using-a-hunky-poolboy-to-manage-your-python-erlport-processes-in-elixir/ https://medium.com/stuart-engineering/how-we-use-python-within-elixir-486eb4d266f9 https://x.com/bjorklundvictor https://victorbjorklund.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/victorbjorklund/ hello@victorbjorklund.com

In this episode of the People of Packaging podcast, host Adam Peek sits down with Michael Houston, President & CEO of Future Blue Group and Co-founder of Shower Pouch, for an insightful conversation that delves into his extensive career in packaging and his passion for innovative, sustainable solutions.Michael's Journey: From Corporate Giants to Entrepreneurial VenturesMichael shares his impressive career trajectory, starting with his time at major CPG companies like Procter & Gamble and Johnson & Johnson, where he gained invaluable experience in packaging R&D and operations. He later transitioned to companies like Beachbody, where he began to focus on helping smaller businesses navigate the complexities of product development and market entry. His experience also includes roles at Unilever, working with beauty brands like Murad, Dermalogica, and Kate Somerville, and contributing to the Honest Company's IPO. This rich background has fueled his current entrepreneurial pursuits.Introducing Shower Pouch: The On-the-Go Hygiene SolutionA significant portion of the discussion revolves around Shower Pouch, a product born from a personal problem statement. Michael recounts how his father, serving in Afghanistan, highlighted the need for a better hygiene solution than just baby wipes. Collaborating with his business partner, Omar Jimenez (a talented chemist), they developed Shower Pouch – a high-quality, durable, and highly absorbent non-woven wipe designed to clean an entire body with just one product. The conversation touches on:* The Problem: Addressing the need for convenient and effective hygiene solutions for military personnel, hospital patients, and even active individuals on the go.* The Innovation: The use of a specialized non-woven material that is highly absorbent and durable, allowing for efficient cleaning.* Sustainability Focus: Shower Pouch is designed as a durable good, emphasizing reusability and minimizing waste. The packaging even suggests washing and repurposing the wipes.* Convenience: The product can be used on its own or heated for a more comfortable experience.* Availability: Shower Pouch is available on Amazon Prime and through their website, theshowerpouch.com.Future Blue Group: Driving Sustainable Packaging for CPG BrandsMichael's consultancy, Future Blue Group, leverages his deep industry knowledge to assist CPG brands in various aspects of packaging. The discussion highlights:* Key Areas of Focus: Future Blue Group helps brands with cutting-edge technical packaging solutions, cost reduction, enhancing packaging aesthetics, improving customer experience, integrating sustainability principles, optimizing supply chain operations, and accelerating market entry.* Industry Successes: Michael notes significant success working with brands in the supplement space, where he helps optimize packaging for shelf stability and manufacturability, moving beyond generic stock options. He also finds considerable success in the personal care, masstige, and prestige categories, where he navigates complex material and formulation challenges to ensure both aesthetics and functionality.* The Importance of Data: Michael emphasizes the critical role of data in making informed packaging decisions. He advocates for a scientific, objective approach to sustainability, starting with verifiable data rather than relying on "greenwashing" or gut feelings. This is where tools like Specright.com and Trayak become invaluable.Sustainability in Packaging: A Call for ClarityMichael offers crucial advice for brands tackling sustainability:* Define Your Sustainability: He stresses the importance of clearly defining what sustainability means for your specific brand – whether it's compostability, recyclability, durability, or a combination. A clear definition allows for quantifiable goals and avoids being "all over the place."* Embrace Material Science: Understanding the materials you're working with, their manufacturing processes, and their environmental impact is key to making truly sustainable choices.* Beyond Greenwashing: Move past superficial claims and commit to science-based decisions that genuinely reduce environmental impact, particularly focusing on reducing CO2 emissions.Connect with Michael Houston:* LinkedIn: Michael Houston* Future Blue Group: Find them on LinkedIn* Shower Pouch: theshowerpouch.com* Email: michael.houston@futurebluegroup.com This is a public episode.

If I were to mention “branding,” what would be one of the first things that pops into your head? Since many of you are likely CPG industry stakeholders…I'd assume packaging design topped the list. And that makes sense because the right packaging is crucial for CPG products…as you can't sell what the consumer doesn't notice from a distance (especially within today's age of the endless aisle). But while packaging design is certainly an important way to create a positive first impression by visually indicating what your CPG brand represents inside-and-out…it's only one of many cascading strategic choices needed to create something truly distinct and special within the ultra-competitive CPG industry. And it was refreshing to hear that framework show up at different moments throughout this diverse conversation with the Vice President of Strategic Marketing at Resource Label Group, Melanie Edwards Virreira. Beyond discussing a few packaging design tips and tricks to enhance connection with today's consumers, we examined how to best retain your brand identity system when shifting into different formats…and why packaging should really be considered a “below the line” marketing expense instead of included within cost of goods sold. Additionally, we examined the unlocked value that gets created when you stop being primarily transactional with your supplier relationships.

He recently left Simon-Kucher to launch his own fund, 49 Palms, focused on helping early-stage AI companies.In this conversation, we discuss:1. The 2x2 framework that identifies your optimal pricing model2. Why AI companies can capture 25% to 50% of value created, vs. 10% to 20% for traditional SaaS products3. Why popular AI coding tools may have already doomed themselves with underpricing4. The “give-and-get” framework top negotiators use to extract maximum value from every deal5. The negotiation strategy that helped one founder 4x their deal size overnight6. How to frame POCs as “business case creation” instead of technical demos (and why this changes everything)7. Why AI companies must get monetization right from day one—not “figure it out later”8. How companies like Intercom's Fin and Sierra pioneered outcome-based pricing (charging $0.99 per AI resolution)9.
