How did Clio Snacks evolve from a homemade Greek yogurt bar created in a New Jersey garage into a national brand generating $90 million in annual sales? In this episode, company CEO John McGuckin shares the strategic blueprint behind the brand's explosive growth, from prototype to distribution in nearly every major grocery and mass retail chain across the U.S. On location at Clio's 80,000-square-foot facility in New Jersey, John dives into how the brand is riding the wave of health-conscious snacking trends. He discusses the complexities of managing a vertically integrated business, where Clio controls both manufacturing and marketing, and how that structure has been key to their agility and innovation. John also highlights the critical role of transparency and emotional investment from Clio's board in driving the brand's remarkable rise. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: John McGuckin, CEO, Clio Snacks – Ray details a behind-the-scenes tour of the Clio bar production process, highlighting its proprietary methods and high-quality ingredients. John shares how Clio evolved from founder Sergey Kowsky's homemade snack for his kids, inspired by traditional Eastern European cheesecake bars. He discusses Clio's growth – $90 million expected for 2025, from $28 million four years ago - is fueled by widespread consumer loyalty, strong repeat purchases, expanded distribution, including a jump from 250 to 1,200 Target stores. He emphasizes the importance of consistent manufacturing, supported by a vertically integrated model and a highly experienced leadership team and how the brand leverages sales and operations planning (SNOP) to manage demand forecasting. John highlights a HelloFresh campaign that distributed 500,000 bars and talks about how innovation remains central to Clio's strategy, with plans to reintroduce its parfait line, enhance protein content, and explore kid-friendly options. John also credits Clio's board, which includes early supporter and investor John Bush, with enabling the company's agility, transparency, and long-term vision.  Brands in this episode: Clio Snacks, Perfect Snacks

Aishwarya Iyer built one of the fastest-growing premium CPG brands by doing what many startups overlook: putting product integrity, brand trust, and strategic timing ahead of rapid retail expansion. In this episode, Aishwarya, the founder and CEO of admired pantry staples company Brightland, shares how discovering a major gap in the olive oil industry sparked the creation of her mission-driven, design-forward brand. She dives into her philosophy of disciplined growth, reveals why she turned down Whole Foods twice, and explains why building a lasting business starts with knowing your customer better than anyone else. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Aishwarya Iyer, Founder & CEO, Brightland – Aishwarya draws parallels between her personal journey as a new mother and entrepreneur, and emphasizes the importance of belief and mindfulness in the growth of and success of Brightland. She talks about how Brightland was born out of a conviction that consumers deserved better olive oil, the company's focus on sourcing California-produced, high-quality oils and how she educated herself about the category and entrepreneurship. Aishwarya is candid about her early doubts, logistical missteps, and the pressure of launching Brightland, how she landed a small but impactful New York Times mention and her decision to turn down Whole Foods (twice).  The conversation also delves into Brightland's brand strategy, where the beautiful, elevated packaging acts as a “Trojan Horse” to invite education and trial. She also talks about why Brightland launched a more accessible everyday line, inspired by brands like Ralph Lauren that successfully straddle luxury and mainstream markets. Aishwarya discusses how PR, storytelling, and thoughtful retail strategy have shaped Brightland's growth, and stresses the importance of product integrity over just aesthetics. She closes with advice on avoiding comparison and noise, encouraging entrepreneurs to periodically unplug from social media to reconnect with their vision and the reasons that they launched their companies.  Brands in this episode: Brightland, Aura Bora, Tip Top Cocktails

How can plant-based oils help solve some of the food industry's biggest challenges? From reducing greenhouse gas emissions to cutting costs, while maintaining great taste, plant-based oils are emerging as a powerful solution for manufacturers facing mounting pressure to deliver sustainable, affordable, and delicious products. But with concerns around deforestation and responsible sourcing, how do we harness their benefits without causing more harm? In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, made in partnership with AAK, we explore how innovative plant-based oil technologies are transforming everything from butter and dairy alternatives to chocolate and hybrid meats. We dive deep into Life Cycle Assessment tools, that help customers reduce their carbon footprint, discover how removing the "mediator" (livestock) can dramatically cut emissions, and tackle the complex conversation around palm oil. Our guests share real-world examples of how these solutions are helping manufacturers balance competing demands: delivering better taste, better health, better sustainability, and better costs all at once. AAK are a lead partner for the Food Matters Live events in Rotterdam and Ascot. AAK AAK are experts in plant-based oils and fats, the value-adding ingredients in many products people love to consume.

How do you turn seawater into a cult food brand? Ben Jacobsen did just that – and changed the way America thinks about salt. In this episode, we sit down with Ben, the founder of Jacobsen Salt Co., whose journey began with a single, revelatory bite of tinned fish topped with a few flakes of sea salt. That moment sparked a passion that led him to the windswept Oregon coast, where he began hand-harvesting salt, and ultimately to building one of the most iconic artisanal food brands in the country. Ben shares how he bootstrapped the business from scratch, earned the trust of renowned chefs, and turned Jacobsen Salt into a symbol of quality, craft and flavor. He speaks candidly about the entrepreneurial rollercoaster – the risks, the resilience, the moments of doubt – and the deep creative drive that continues to fuel his work. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Ben Jacobsen, Founder, Jacobsen Salt Co. – The conversation begins with Ben's recent culinary experiences in NYC and his growing appreciation for restaurants since starting his company. Ben traces the origins of Jacobsen Salt Co. to his time living in Copenhagen and Oslo and how he was inspired by the profound difference high-quality salt made in simple meals. The conversation delves into the technical and entrepreneurial challenges of creating a salt company from scratch and the humble beginnings of Jacobsen Salt, which involved transporting seawater in wine totes and experimenting in a commercial kitchen. He touches on how Jacobsen Salt gained early traction through word of mouth, support from chefs, and compelling design – all of which contributed to expansion in specialty shops and boutiques across all 50 states. Ben also explains why he sees a long runway for growth, emphasizing the importance of scaling production and increasing accessibility while staying true to the brand's mission.  Brands in this episode: Jacobsen Salt Co.

It's time to check in with my guest Winnona Yi, who first appeared on this podcast when she was just 3 months into her plant-based diet transition. How is she doing now, more than a year later? Recall that prior to this dietary change, she had been eating a regular diet heavy in fast foods, and had many health problems including a skin condition called hidradenitis suppurativa, as well as high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes.   But after she moved to a whole food plant-based diet, her health and her life changed…drastically. And one year later, there are even more positive changes, especially in terms of needing to take less meds and more weight loss.

Dr. Rak here. When I first began to understand the connection between food and health, I was already a doctor. I had written prescriptions, treated chronic conditions, and checked every box our system told me to check. But I couldn't shake the feeling that something essential was missing—that we were managing disease, not healing people. And then I found doctors like Michael Klaper, who I'm so delighted to welcome to The Feast. Dr. Klaper has been living and teaching the truth about food as medicine for over 40 years. Long before lifestyle medicine had a name, he was walking away from the pill-for-every-ill model and helping patients heal through plants, movement, and compassion. He's also now on a mission to do what our medical schools never did: teach future doctors the tools that actually heal. In our conversation today we discuss: The moment that changed everything in his medical practice Why most doctors are still unknowingly keeping their patients sick His take on GLP-1 drugs, the carnivore diet, fasting, and the longevity hype And the one medical myth that still drives him crazy Underscoring all of this, we talk about what it means to practice medicine with integrity and soul. What it means to see the patient in front of you not as a case to manage… but as a person to support. If you've ever felt like there has to be a better way to do healthcare, this conversation is for you. And hey—if you make it to the end of the episode, or even just this note—I just want to say thank you. I don't take your time or presence here for granted. If the episode moved you or made you think, I'd love if you left a quick review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. It helps others find The Health Feast and be part of this bigger conversation. Live well and RAK ON, Dr. Rak

You wake up with the best intentions.Today's the day. You're going to eat fully plant-based, limit animal products, skip the leather belt or bag, and speak your truth. But by dinner? Things may have unraveled. Again.If that sounds familiar, you're not broken. You're human.In this episode of Vedge Your Best, we explore the gap between good intentions and actual change—and why it's not about willpower, discipline, or moral failure. The old saying goes, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions,” and when it comes to going vegan or making any major life shift, that expression can hit home.What we cover in this episode:Why your intention isn't the same as a planThe difference between rules and strategiesWhy your brain defaults to old habits under pressureWhat to do when a friend offers you food you didn't plan forThe truth about people who “seem” to go vegan overnightHow vague commitments lead to shame, not successThis isn't just about food. This episode is for you if you're:Trying to eat more plantsDecluttering your homeSpending lessSetting boundariesOr starting any behavior change that mattersListener Takeaway: Intentions matter—but they're only the invitation. Without a plan, your good intentions might be setting you up for self-doubt and shame. Let's fix that.Mentioned in this episode:The “V” in the V-E-G-A-N Method = VisionMy free Substack: How You Go Vegan is How You Do Everything → Follow along as I write a first draft of my book in 30 days. → Comment and share where you're stuckSubscribe & Review:If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform.

Today, I am joined by Jenn “JJ” Judd. JJ is a mindset coach, content creator, and author with a degree in psychology. Known for her passion for plant-based living and helping people transform their health and mindset, JJ developed the G.L.A.D. framework (Goals, Learning, Action, Discipline) to inspire real, lasting change. She draws on both her personal journey and professional experience to guide people toward achieving their goals with clarity, confidence, joy, and ease.In 2019, at 42 years old, JJ lost 55 pounds, eliminated chronic back pain and seasonal allergies, and discovered the power of whole, raw vegan foods. What started as a personal weight loss journey turned into a mission to help others reclaim their well-being through sustainable habits, mindset shifts, and a return to nature's intended diet.She also discovered the ethical principles of veganism and became an advocate using her platform to speak up for animals and educate others on the deeper meaning behind the lifestyle—when they're ready to hear it.As the founder of Veganowledge and Amazing Plantz4merz, JJ educates and empowers people to simplify their approach to nutrition, break free from diet confusion, and create lasting health transformations. She shares her knowledge through books, coaching, and engaging online content, making plant-based living accessible and inspiring.Her latest book introduces readers to The G.L.A.D. Blueprint, a 4-step system designed to help people overcome obstacles, take control of their health, and achieve long-term success. The book includes real-life examples, an interactive quiz, and actionable steps that guide readers toward their best selves—physically, mentally, and emotionally.Her mission is to meet people where they are and gently invite them to go deeper—to recognize that all animals deserve to live, not just the ones we share our homes with. There is no difference between cats and dogs, cows and pigs, chickens and turkeys, when it comes to their desire to live and feel safe.She believes that true health is simple, and by working with the body instead of against it, we can unlock our fullest potential.To connect with JJ: YouTube: https://youtube.com/@veganowledgejj?si=TdCKcass3mwUCR1uInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/veganowledgejjTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@veganowledgejj?_t=ZT-8ulpZP715ha&_r=1Facebook Groups: Veganowledge: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18uynzwxpM/?mibextid=wwXIfrRaw Veganowledge: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1AAX2bpar1/?mibextid=wwXIfrTo connect with me:Follow me on Facebook and Instagram @didyoubringthehummusFor more info on my Public Speaking 101 program: ⁠https://www.didyoubringthehummus.com/publicspeakingforactivists⁠Contact me here or send me an email at info@didyoubringthehummus.comSign up for meditation sessions hereSign up for The Vegan Voyage, to sponsor the podcast, book meditations packages, or sign up for my Public Speaking program hereJoin my Podcast Fan Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/didyoubringthehummus/To be a guest on the podcast: https://www.didyoubringthehummus.com/beaguest©2025 Kimberly Winters - Did You Bring the Hummus LLCTheme Song ©2020 JP Winters ⁠@musicbyjpw⁠

Why Eggs are as Bad as Chicken Breasts Many people adopt a vegetarian diet for ethical reasons, where they don't eat animals – but may still eat their secretions – such as cow's milk and chicken's eggs. However, this may well be in vain due to how unethical eggs are. Listen to today's episode for details.

Gen Z is reshaping the frozen food game… and they're not settling for TV dinners. But while they're hungry for health and convenience, there's a catch: the price tag. Can wellness-focused frozen meals stay accessible, or are they becoming a luxury in disguise? The hosts discuss, and also sample Korean-style hard seltzers, culturally-inspired craft sodas and a potentially game-changing brand of non-alcoholic spirits. Show notes: 0:35: Voice Nail. A Notable List. Investors Here. Bites & Chews. So Long, Stouffer's. Trash Panda. NA Negronis. – The hosts chat about disliking the sound of their own voices before spotlighting the release of the 2025 NOSH Notables list, which honors leaders and innovators in food. They also highlight the number of investors registered for Taste Radio's Chicago Meetup, which takes place on August 14. Mike and John discuss standout finds from a recent UNFI show, including latke-inspired crisps, “baguette bites,” and low-sugar gummies. The hosts then turn their attention toward the growing trend of premium frozen meals and note the balance between health, convenience, and cost as a key consumer concern. They wrap up the show with a sampling of a hard seltzer made with fermented rice, a Twizzler-style candy brand, and a brand of alcohol alternatives that de-alcoholizes wine and spirits to create products that closely mimic whiskey, Campari, mezcal and more. Brands in this episode: Hoste Cocktails, Chomps, Little Latke, YAW!, Happy Candy, Better Sour, Behave, Stouffer's, Hungry Man, Vital Pursuit, Blue Zones Kitchen, Scott & Jon's, Mason Dixie Foods, SWRL, Afro Pop, Froot Thief, Twizzlers, Undone Drinks, Campari, Aperol

My guest today is Tim Fronzek who is a co-founder of Nosh.bio https://www.nosh.bio/ based in Berlin, Germany. Plant-based protein has been gaining attention, particularly since the 2010s for our growing health and environmental concerns. However, various products in the market may not be as ideal as it was thought to be. Some are not so environmentally friendly in their manufacturing process, or undesirable compounds are created during the high level of processing of ingredients. Also, their flavors and textures may not be very satisfying. To conquer these issues, Tim came up with the idea of using Koji, the beneficial mold used to make a majority of traditional Japanese food. His company Nosh.bio has been offering protein made with koji since 2022 to global clients. In this episode, we will discuss how Tim discovered Koji's potential, the health benefits and sustainable nature of Koji protein, what diets are possible to keep our earth healthy and much, much more!!!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When Mike Rypka launched Torchy's Tacos out of a trailer in Austin, he wasn't thinking about private equity or market expansion. He just wanted to serve “damn good tacos.”  Fast forward to today, and Torchy's has grown into a revered fast-casual chain with national ambitions, fueled by strategic investment and a fiercely loyal customer base. But the real engine behind the brand's success isn't just craveable food. It's culture. Torchy's differentiates itself through scratch-made food and a willingness to take creative risks with its menu. Behind the scenes is a deeply human company culture built around second chances, internal growth and genuine care for employees.  In this episode, Mike opens up about the humble beginnings of the company, how word of mouth and grassroots marketing initially drove Torchy's success and why “clean, craveable food” keeps the customers coming back. He also explains why it was critical to find an investment partner that provided not just capital, but deep operational and consumer insights, and how his personal struggles shaped a company culture rooted in redemption and opportunity.  Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Mike Rypka, Founder, Torchy's Tacos – Mike reflects on the early days of Torchy's Tacos and how it gradually evolved into a beloved taco chain with over 130 locations. He highlights the importance of quality, consistency, and culture in differentiating Torchy's from competitors, especially through their scratch-made food, full-service bars, and commitment to hospitality. Mike explains why he recently transitioned into the role of Chief Innovation Officer, how the company attempts to sell affordable food despite economic pressures and why Torchy's has resisted franchising in favor of maintaining tight operational control. He also talks about the importance of strong supplier relationships, transparency, and how deliberate growth has helped Torchy's preserve its identity and quality. Mike discusses how private equity firm General Atlantic has helped strategically guide the company's national expansion, how Torchy's innovation process blends customer feedback, social media listening and culinary trend tools and why not every idea has succeeded. Brands in this episode: Torchy's Tacos, Athletic Brewing
