    In one of the strangest scandals to hit the CPG world, BetterBrand, the startup behind the high-protein, low-carb “Better Bagel,”  is now facing lawsuits, unpaid debts… and a missing founder. The hosts weigh in on the chaos surrounding entrepreneur Aimee Yang and her calamitous company. They also discuss a new, seemingly BFY beverage alcohol segment and why protein donuts deserve better ingredients. Show notes: 0:35: Hoste-ing In Chicago. Moldy, Mired, Messy. A Refreshing ABV? Inhale & Gag. Red Dye Donuts. – The hosts announce Taste Radio's Chicago meetup, which will take place on August 14 at Hoste Cocktails' event space in the Windy City's Pilsen neighborhood. They also delve into the controversy surrounding BetterBrand, whose problems have earned it comparisons to Theranos. The team also explores the rise of “hard refreshers,” alcoholic beverages with packaging similar to sports drinks, raising concerns over consumer confusion. Meanwhile Liquid Death's spicy novelty drink, “Deathberry Inferno,” gets mixed reviews for flavor but praise for marketing. The group samples nostalgic FatBoy ice cream treats and discusses the contrast between some function-centric foods, comparing Purely Elizabeth's new clean-label oatmeals over protein donuts made with artificial ingredients.  Brands in this episode: BetterBrand, Athletic Brewing, AriZona, Spindrift, BeatBox, BuzzBallz, Happy Thursday, Lightstrike, Prime, Mas+ by Messi, Liquid Death, Paqui, Vernors, Whistlepig, FatBoy Ice Cream, Legendary Foods, Purely Elizabeth

    When Ghost co-founders Dan Lourenco and Ryan Hughes launched their fitness and lifestyle brand in 2016, they weren't chasing headlines or quick exits. They were trying to build a company that felt like a movement.  From the outset, Ghost resonated with a younger, influencer-savvy audience drawn to its bold, candy- and snack-inspired fitness supplements – flavors like Warhead and Sour Patch Kids brought a nostalgic twist to recovery powders and wellness products. Building on this momentum, the brand expanded into energy and hydration beverages, achieving broad distribution across major U.S. and international retailers while cultivating a strong direct-to-consumer presence. In a significant endorsement of its growth and potential, Keurig Dr Pepper acquired a 60% stake in the company for $990 million in October, with plans to purchase the remaining 40% by 2028. So how did a company that deliberately avoided a traditional marketing playbook become a household name in sports nutrition and energy? In a candid conversation, Dan pulls back the curtain on Ghost's rise — from behind-the-scenes YouTube videos to blockbuster licensing deals and national shelf space. He explains why authenticity remains the brand's North Star — and why, for Ghost, that goes beyond simply being founder-led. Dan also reflects on the personal journey behind the business: how stepping away from social media helped him regain focus, and what scaling a brand taught him about leadership, growth, and staying grounded. Show notes: 0:25: Dan Lourenco, Co-Founder & CEO, Ghost – Dan talks about Ghost's mission to become a “100-year brand” built on authenticity, innovation, and community, and how, despite selling a majority stake to Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP), Ghost has retained its founder-led identity. He also discusses why the brand's growth has been rooted in transparency rather than traditional marketing, how differentiation lies in purposeful innovation, and why the company approaches licensing more selectively than in the past. Dan explains how Ghost's expansion into functional beverages was driven by organic customer behavior, and why he emphasizes staying nimble, preserving brand values, and maintaining a startup mindset. He also reflects on the challenges of founder wellness, learning to balance personal fulfillment with leadership, stepping back from personal social media and how he advises entrepreneurs to focus on what truly matters.

    Is There Really Pus in Milk? What does the “milk pus test” tell us about the U.S. milk supply? Dairy cows might normally live for about 20 years, but they are typically slaughtered for hamburger after they're just a few years old when they produce less milk and their profitability drops. But another leading cause of cow culling is mastitis––udder inflammation and infections––which affects 99.7 percent of all dairy operations in the United States.

    While many founders chase the latest trends, Yannis Ouzounopoulos saw opportunity in an overlooked $4 billion category – and struck breakfast gold. Yannis is the founder and CEO of Olyra, a fast-growing brand of organic breakfast bars and biscuits inspired by his family's fifth-generation flour milling business in Greece. Launched in 2017, Olyra was born from Yannis' conviction that the U.S. breakfast bar aisle – vast but stagnant – was ripe for disruption. His solution: better-for-you products made with ancient grains, authentic ingredients and significantly less sugar. That vision proved prescient. Today, Olyra's products can be found in thousands of retail locations across the U.S., including Whole Foods, Sprouts, Harris Teeter and The Fresh Market. In this episode, Yannis shares the origin story behind Olyra and how both free and paid data sources helped shape the brand's overall business approach, including product development, shelf strategy and consumer messaging. He also dives into why he prioritizes long-term thinking, the importance of staying close to the customer, and the ongoing process of refining taste and brand positioning. Show notes: 0:25: Yannis Ouzounopoulos, Founder & CEO, Olyra –  Yannis shares his journey from Greece to New York City, detailing the early challenges of selling to independent retailers and his eventual strategic pivot to focus on larger retail chains. He explains how Olyra began as a diversification effort within his family's heritage business, ultimately evolving into a brand designed to fill a white space in the $4 billion breakfast and snack bar category. Drawing on free and low-cost market data, Yannis crafted a more informed strategy, learning from early missteps—such as overly ambitious velocity projections. He emphasizes that product development is a continuous process, shaped by layered consumer feedback used to fine-tune taste, texture, and packaging. Yannis also describes how Olyra's brand messaging evolved to highlight clearer nutritional benefits in response to shifting consumer preferences. He credits Charles Coristine of LesserEvil with inspiring his commitment to long-term brand building and a relentless focus on taste excellence.

    What do TikTok, Target, and African superfoods have in common? They've all played a role in the remarkable resurgence of Kuli Kuli — the pioneering superfood brand founded in 2014 that introduced moringa to the U.S. market and is now carried in over 11,000 retail stores nationwide. Once known primarily for its moringa products, Kuli Kuli has since expanded its portfolio and reintroduced itself with vibrant new packaging, a broader superfood lineup, and a renewed focus on flavor and accessibility. Now found on shelves at Walmart, Target, and other major retailers, Kuli Kuli has traded in-store demos for a digital-first marketing strategy, including leveraging moringa's surprise moment of virality on TikTok.  In this episode, founder and CEO Lisa Curtis shares the behind-the-scenes story of Kuli Kuli's evolution — from navigating pandemic-era disruptions to spearheading a bold brand refresh that helped redefine the company's mission and identity. She also unpacks what it took to guide the brand to profitability, why shedding the “moringa-only” label was crucial, and what she sees as the ultimate key to long-term success in the crowded wellness space. Show notes: 0:25: Lisa Curtis, Founder & CEO, Kuli Kuli – Lisa recaps the origins of Kuli Kuli, which began as a Peace Corps-inspired effort to introduce moringa to the U.S. market and support female farmers globally, and why the company underwent a rebranding to embrace a broader identity as a vibrant, climate-smart superfood company. She also discusses the entrepreneurial rollercoaster of a 10-year journey marked by early momentum, a major COVID-related revenue dip, and now a resurgence with projected revenue doubling. Lisa also explains how Kuli Kuli's product innovation has matured, emphasizing a “fail fast” mindset, and how the company benefited from a surge in awareness about moringa and responded by producing its own science-backed educational content. She also admits that while the taste of moringa powder is not exactly a crowd-pleaser, Kuli Kuli has made strides to ensure their products either taste great on their own. Lisa also shares her personal strategies for managing entrepreneurial stress, including prioritizing health, travel, and cultural connection, why, despite being a capable fundraiser, she doesn't want to raise more equity funding and her belief that the key to startup longevity is persistence.

    18 restaurants, feeding countless A-List celebrities and leading the plant based food scene sounds like the making of a riddle, but is the reality of our guests Mark. Over the years we've all heard the term plant based but what does it actually mean? Can it actually be good enough that it's highly sought after by foodies worldwide? A health crisis transformed Mark's relationship with food forever. After receiving a rare blood cancer diagnosis, he immersed himself in nutritional research while undergoing treatment. What emerged was not just a personal healing journey but the foundation for culinary innovation that would reshape Australia's plant-based dining landscape.Mark's approach is refreshingly approachable. Through his 18 restaurants  across Melbourne, Sydney, and Byron Bay—he aspires to create vibrant spaces where food brings people together without dietary labels creating division.His debut cookbook, "This Cookbook is a Huge Mistake" (named after a neon sign in one of his restaurants) emerged during Australia's lengthy COVID lockdowns. Quarantined alone in a hotel room for two weeks, Mark reflected on his culinary journey, documenting recipes and life lessons that had shaped his path. The result combines practical plant-based techniques with personal stories and his trademark pun-filled humor.Beyond business success, Mark's most treasured accomplishment is the community he's built—including unexpected friendships with the Hemsworth family, who began as regular customers and became devoted supporters. Through beautiful, thoughtful food that momentarily transports guests away from daily stress, Mark reminds us that gathering around a table is ultimately about connection, not just nutrition.Try something from this cookbook. Your taste buds will thank you, and you might just find yourself reimagining what plant-based eating can be.This Episode is Sponsored by: Travel with Stephani- Are you looking to plan a vacation for your family this Summer?

    If the legacy food giants won't evolve, Mason Dixie will do it for them – one honest, skillet-cooked meal at a time. When Ayeshah Abuelhiga founded Mason Dixie Foods in 2014, she set out to deliver what people are truly hungry for: clean, craveable comfort food made without compromise. No preservatives. No shortcuts. Just real ingredients and real flavor. Today, Mason Dixie offers a growing lineup of frozen biscuits, breakfast sandwiches, burritos, and fried chicken sandwiches – all made with fresh ingredients, real dairy, and no artificial ingredients, bleached flour or seed oils. The products are available in more than 6,000 stores across the country, including Whole Foods, Costco, Sprouts, Giant, Harris Teeter, and more. In this episode, Ayeshah shares how she's taking on the legacy CPG heavyweights by building a bold, next-generation frozen food brand. She dives into how Mason Dixie harnesses consumer insights, rigorous cost discipline and category whitespace to develop new products. She also breaks down how the brand is reshaping the definition of “natural” for modern shoppers, proving it's possible to scale with integrity, and lead with purpose, without ever compromising on what matters most. Show notes: 0:25: Ayeshah Abuelhiga, Founder & CEO, Mason Dixie Foods – Ayeshah and Ray chat about past conversations before the entrepreneur shares how operating outside traditional CPG hubs has allowed her Baltimore-based company to thrive with greater agility and efficiency, particularly in the wake of the pandemic. She reflects on Mason Dixie's buzzworthy Expo West appearance, where she dressed as Colonel Sanders to promote new products and offers a candid critique of the natural foods industry. The conversation delves into the brand's innovation strategy, including its expansion into sandwiches and burritos, and how the latter was developed to create a superior flavor and texture to existing products. Ayeshah explains how Mason Dixie benchmarks acceptable price points and only moves forward with products that can achieve cost efficiency through scale and criticizes large conglomerates like Tyson for their inefficient use of resources, while remaining open to partnerships that could help scale clean-label food. Beyond business, Ayeshah talks about how she finds purpose in the creative freedom of entrepreneurship and in mentoring underrepresented communities through nonprofit work.
