Podcasts about Popchips

These days, keeping it simple is one way to be different. At a time when brands are packing their products with processed ingredients and novel sweeteners, some companies are taking a stripped down approach… and getting noticed. This episode, which features an interview with Stephanie McGregor, a veteran food and beverage executive and founder of plant-based drink brand Ringa, explores that dynamic. Show notes: 0:25: Mussel-ed Out. RSVP & See You In S.B. Real Corn Flakes. Live Slice. Miso & Pita. Kartik FTW. – Ray shares some important advice about dining out based on recent experience. Our Miami meetup is 10 days away – we'd appreciate it if you register for the event. The ECB folks snack on some premium simple cereal and talk about how consumers may perceive it versus competing products. They also chat about a couple soda brand revamps – including that of a classic brand now marketed as “healthy” – snack on extra crispy pita chips, and highlight a miso-infused tomato sauce and a brand called “DryWater,” before Mike unpacks a box of goodies sent to him from Doosra founder (and CPG king ) Kartik Das. 27:28: Stephanie McGregor, Founder & CEO, Ringa – Launched in 2023, Ringa is a brand of plant-based functional beverages made with all organic ingredients, including moringa, apple cider vinegar and prebiotic fiber from agave inulin. A veteran food and beverage brand executive who has worked with vitaminwater, Pop Chips and Smashmallow, Stephanie talks about her inspiration to launch a beverage brand, how she is attempting to align education about functional ingredients to a common habit, why she's not chasing demand for gut-friendly sodas, and what she's learned from taking a slow and sustainable approach to retail growth.

Episode 1This episode explores how entrepreneurial thinking, or challenging the best of start-up energy, can benefit any brand, whatever the size Start ups are having a real moment in the spotlight- agile, fast and able to take big risks without fear of damaging a legacy brand, they are everything that big brands aren't and can't beBut is that true?

Today, the guys discuss the life and career of Ashton Kutcher (1:07). They discuss his early life, his family and how he became a model and later an actor. They discuss his early career hits, including ‘That 70's Show' and ‘Punk'd'. They discuss his marriages to Demi Moore and Mila Kunis and the fact that his girlfriend he was dating in 2001 was horrifically murdered by a serial killer. They discuss his business and investing career and how he is in some way more successful in the ventures as opposed to in acting. They also discuss his controversial ad for “Popchips” involving an Indian accent and brownface. They then discuss how Ashton Kutcher disclosed on an episode of  ‘Running Wild with Bear Grylls: The Challenge” that he suffers from a rare form of vasculitis which caused problems with his vision, imbalance and equilibrium (16:49). Ali challenges Asif to do ‘House MD'- style detective work to try and figure out exactly what type of vasculitis Ashton had. Asif speculates that Ashton may have had a rare type of brain vasculitis called ‘Central Nervous System Vasculitis (or Angiitis)'. He then briefly discussed how it is also possible he may have had two other even rarer diseases: Susac's Syndrome and CLIPPERS (chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive to steroids).  The opinions expressed are those of the hosts, and do not reflect those of any other organizations.

Have you ever looked at a product or seen an ad and wondered how someone thought to come up with that idea? Whether it's good or bad, these are the ideas that are innovative and groundbreaking and they stick with us. One of those such products is RightRice, and its founder, Keith Belling joins me on this interview to share more about how he took on a big and traditional industry in a new and innovative way. Keith Belling is the Founder & CEO of RightRice, a product that reinvents the concept of rice, and which sold over one million bags in its first year. Keith is a proven entrepreneur and innovator, and RightRice is his second foray into disrupting the F&B industry — his first being Popchips, a wildly successful food product. He is a master of following a frustration he has, figuring out how to solve it in a unique and meaningful way, and turning the solution into a business.Keith explains how to approach a really established, traditional marketplace with alternative products, and why it's so important to bring to market something that's meaningful and differentiated.

**This episode is brought to you by MuteSix, ShoppingGives, DRVE, and CartLoop**   Don't be afraid to take a really fresh approach. In the second half, Keith Belling, Founder and CEO of RightRice remarks that developing RightRice was harder than Popchips as they wanted vegetables and taste and texture in their rice. It took about 9 months to come up with the perfect blend. In RightRice's products, 90 percent of the ingredients include vegetables, chickpeas, lentils, and green peas, while less than 10 percent is rice. This makes it healthy and a package of veggie power. Rice can be mixed with anything, so, according to Keith, rice itself has a superpower. Keith says that creating catchy packaging as well as continuing innovations is essential. He talks about: * Developing RightRice Vs. Popchips * Combination of vegetables * Flavors at RightRice * How to cook RightRice * Superpower of rice * How challenging is the market now * Where to find them * Effect of the pandemic Join Ramon Vela and Keith Belling as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.

**This episode is brought to you by MuteSix, ShoppingGives, DRVE, and CartLoop**   “Just lean in and do it,” says Keith Belling, Founder and CEO of RightRice, a brand that provides healthier and great-tasting rice. Keith was brought up in an entrepreneurial family. He was especially inspired by his hard-working father, whom he lost at the young age of 16. He originally planned to make a career in real estate law but decided to quit the law firm for business since he loved the entrepreneurial spirit of a coffee shop client he handled. In the late ‘90s, Keith started an Internet company in San Francisco. After that, he launched Popchips, which is a brand for healthy snacks. Then he finally launched RightRice in February 2019. RightRice brings shelf-stable grain of rice packed with the power of veggies. He talks about: * Gratefulness * How his father's death affected his entrepreneurial efforts * Overview of the brand * His background * The Better for you theme * Difficulties and success with Popchips * Launch of RightRice Join Ramon Vela and Keith Belling as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.

In This Episode You’ll Hear About:How his parents’ business and his upbringing created the drive to work hard and how Amit’s always been an entrepreneurWhat he learned in college at Penn, why he went into investment banking upon graduation, and what got him back into being an operator What valuable business lessons he learned while in private equity working with a variety of companies and processing a lot of what would become a part of his leadership styleWhat he learned from his ten years of building Arctic Zero, self-funded, with a supportive team and why his wife won’t go grocery shopping with him anymoreWhat led to the start of Velocity Snack Brands and why they are able to create incredible opportunities for great brands who serve a niche better-for-you snack marketWhat lessons were learned and difficulties persevered through during COVID and what has changed within the organization because of itHow Amit and his team do meetings differently and why they are always striving to make meetings more efficient, more decision oriented, and time sensitive for everyone on the teamWhy the way interviews are conducted at Velocity helps train the whole team to be more equipped for future leadership and also gives everyone ownership in the processWhy Amit believes that vulnerability and transparency are crucial in leading a successful organization and scaling a company for the long termTo Find Out More:VelocitySnackBrands.comQuotes:“I feel like this is why representation actually matters so much. You have to be able to see something and see yourself in that position in order to achieve it.”“Really if I can do your job better than you, you shouldn't work for me. I really shouldn't be able to do anyone's job.” “I really believe in the best idea winning regardless of the position or title.”“I also think there's no job that I won't do. I mean, whether it's wiping counters, taking out the trash, I believe no job is beneath any of us. And we're all rowing on the boat together. So all the efforts help.”“At some point, you have to understand that there has to be a market and a price fit for your product.”“I always tell my team, never, never accept the status quo. Never accept no. Or "That's the way it is." Or "That's the way other people do it." “I think bringing a data driven approach to both pitching the product, to developing the product, to selling the product is really critical in today's marketplace.”“You have to have some emotional connectivity to consumers. You have to resonate with them.”“I think the magic is really in figuring out what consumers love your brand or what consumers to target and what is the true messaging that resonates with them.”“My belief is that there are a lot of great brands out there who do have that emotional connectivity to their consumer base and do service a niche demographic. And they deserve to be.”“If you're only in a swirl, you can't think upstream. And it's really as a leader, it's our job to think upstream.”“Meetings should not just be informational, because then you should just share the info. Send an email. Right? And so just even little things like that free up people's time and energy to focus on strategy.”“All meetings need to have in the first sentence of the invite, "This meeting is to discuss X in order to decide Y." And so that forces a decision from each meeting. Meetings should be 10 percent informational, 50 percent discussion, 40 percent decision or action oriented.”“I think that I get the best out of my team when I'm honest with them, when I'm human with them and we make mistakes like the rest of them. And so I think just being able to say that allows you to be human.”“I can't expect transparency and accountability from my team if I can't be transparent and accountable to them.”“Hopefully every mistake and everything you want to change, you change. There's always time. There's time now. Let's make that impact and move forward.”“You have to empower the team to do the work, and you have to empower the team to make the decisions. And part of that is trusting. Part of that is verifying. And part of that is training.”

“I was born to be an entrepreneur.“ It’s hard to disrupt an entire industry, it’s even harder to do it twice. Meet my friend Keith Belling, founder and CEO of RightRice and former Co-Founder & CEO behind one of the ultimate disruptive brands Popchips. In this episode, Keith shares key tips for creating a strong brand, as well as his personal journey.  How prioritizing his health led him to create the company he founded and runs today.  You aren’t going to want to miss this episode!

Kevita –sold to Pepsi. PopChips – created the entire “popped” category. Now he is the CMO at My/Mo Mochi Ice Cream and recently named to Forbes' CMO Next List of Game-Changing Marketing Leaders. Russell shares how to be “thumb stopping”, the importance of conflict, why weird is good, why he values bravery over risk and why he rejects the concept of a challenger brand. No one in the world is better at creative partnerships and we also get after how Russell makes those happen.

As the founder of Popchips, Keith Belling helped usher in a new era for healthy snacking. Twelve years after the brand’s launch, he’s attempting to do the same for rice with RightRice, Belling’s second food brand that debuted in February. In an interview included in this episode, Belling explained that RightRice is in many ways the culmination of an entrepreneurial career that’s spanned law, real estate, online publishing and consumer products. At every stage, Belling said, his passion to solve personal, unmet needs drove the launch of new business ventures. “There’s entrepreneurs that… finish one business and flick a switch and they’re onto the new one,” he said. “I’ve definitely never been that way. For me something has to start with a real passion, something that’s important to me and fills a need. That ends up mapping an opportunity in the market, and then it starts to get interesting.” As part of our conversation, discussed the origins of Popchips and RightRice and how lessons learned from building the former are being applied to the latter. He also spoke about the importance of branding and why he’s overinvested in package design, how celebrity investors like Ashton Kutcher supported the development of Popchips and the challenges of leveraging success. This episode is presented by ZoomEssence, the cool-tech powder flavor people. Show notes: 2:30: Interview: Keith Belling, Founder, Popchips/RightRice -- In an interview recorded via weblink, Belling spoke about why new business ventures have to start with passion, how he was (almost) ahead of the curve with healthy jerky, and the genesis of his new company, RightRice. He also discussed his background in law and real estate, how the concept of Popchips was formed and why the brand has sought to emulate vitaminwater, and why direct interaction with consumers yielded key lessons in the development of the brand. Belling also explained how Ashton Kutcher became Popchips’ “president of pop culture,” spoke about the evolution of influencer marketing and its impact on business planning for RightRice, and revealed how the two brands got their names.

Distributors called her a “relentless bitch,” but Sharelle Klaus paid little mind to their insecurities. She was too busy building a business. Instead, Klaus, the founder and CEO of DRY Soda, a Seattle-based maker of premium carbonated soft drinks, wore the slur as a badge of honor. Standing at the forefront of the emerging craft soda segment since the launch of DRY in 2005, Klaus acknowledges that she is indeed relentless — and deeply passionate about her vision to deliver better soda to American consumers. “I have an expectation, and it has to get done,” she said in an interview included in this episode of Taste Radio. “In beverage, you’ve got to get that product on the shelf. It has to be executed correctly. I do demand a lot from everybody -- you just have to.” Beginning with DRY’s early days as a regional startup through its rise to a nationally distributed brand, Klaus shared war stories from the journey and revealed the one lesson she believes entrepreneurs need to learn if they intend to be successful. This episode also includes a lively chat with Russell Barnett, CMO of My/Mo, a fast-growing brand of mochi ice cream sweeping through freezers aisles across the U.S. Don’t miss Barnett’s explanation of why “marketing is never right; [just] varying degrees of wrong.” We also caught up with Max Baumann and BJ McCaslin, co-founders of Bear Squeeze, a brand of ketogenic meal shakes that triumphed in BevNET Live’s New Beverage Showdown 14. Rounding out the episode is the latest edition of Elevator Talk featuring Tugger Balcom, the founder of Sports Juice, a brand of organic, cold-pressed juices designed for athletes. Show notes: 1:09: Get a Life(style): All of the folks interviewed in this episode represent brands with a lifestyle component and engage with consumers beyond their core focus or function. The hosts discuss what makes for an effective lifestyle brand and how companies can best articulate their messaging. 6:27: Interview: Sharelle Klaus, Founder/CEO, Dry Soda -- In this interview, recorded from the Taste Radio studio at BevNET Live Winter 2017, Klaus shared her vision for the culinary-inspired soda brand and the impetus for its launch. She also discussed how she’s persevered through her dozen years in the beverage business and why she implores entrepreneurs to “not be afraid to look stupid.” 29:56: Interview: Russell Barnett, CMO, My/Mo -- In this interview with Project NOSH editor Carol Ortenberg, Barnett discussed the rapid emergence of My/Mo and why keeping the brand “weird and quirky... presents a really great opportunity for an experiential moment.” Barnett also shares lessons learned from his two decades as a marketing exec, which has included roles with Mike’s Hard Lemonade, PopChips and KeVita. 48:52: Interview: Max Baumann & BJ McCaslin, Co-Founders, Bear Squeeze -- Baumann and McCaslin joined us on the mics shortly after claiming the crown of New Beverage Showdown 14 and taking home the competition’s $10,000 prize. The pair discussed the company’s business strategy and McCaslin remarked on his second Showdown win, the first being with Coco Cafe in 2011. 59:53: Elevator Talk: Tugger Balcom, Founder, Sports Juice -- A semifinalist in New Beverage Showdown 14, we caught up with Balcom in Los Angeles a few weeks back when he joined us for this edition of Elevator Talk.

So take a peek into his food diary. You never know what he'll write. Somehow he can stay compliant to writing on Twitter but he can't fit in exercise each day.

The most entertaining weight loss and fitness podcast show on radio." Please click on the POD button to listen to the latest Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy radio show podcast broadcasting live each week from Atlanta, GA, USA.   On tonight's show, Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy get the skinny about getting in shape while on holiday from Anja one of the founders of Escape to Shape.  Escape to Shape offers vacations combining comfort, culture and fitness at exotic locations around the world. Not only will you enjoy luxurious accommodations, delicious food and the latest fitness class you'll also sample some of the best spa amenities available. Anja says that her vacations are perfect for singles as well as couples. Find out where they are headed next, I'll give you a hint...think The Soprano's. For more information about Escape to Shape check out their website www.escapetoshape.comTonight we had on two of the Internet's biggest stars John Biggs from CrunchGear who shared with us the fitness gadgets he finds from his travels from around the world. He just came back from Japan where he saw the first personal trainer/cell phone. This device is part pedometer, part heart rate monitor, part phone. the only thing it doesn't do is wipe the sweat off your forehead. John also talked about lots of other cool gadgets and fitness gear but you'll have to listen to get the skinny. For more information check out John's blogs  www.crunchgear.com and www.runninggearreview.com After John we were so lucky to have Tiffany Davis from Daily Candy in the studio with us. Tiffany is one of our favorite guests and she talked all about fun ways to build a healthy kitchen. As you know she and her staff are always researching the latest and the greatest next cool thing. First Tiffany talked about these super cool flavor sheets you put right on top of your favorite food as you cook it. She also mentioned something about the return of the Snoopy Sno Cone Maker and some other equally wild stuff.  For more information about The Daily Candy please go to their website www.dailycandy.com and be one of the 3 gazillion other subscribers to get their daily email newsletter. And that wasn't it, as you know the Fat Guy is always researching quality, kind of healthy, delicious snacks. And he found another one. PopChips. PopChips are kind of healthy chips. These are never fried, never baked, all natural chips. Since these amazing bites of crunchy goodness are popped instead of fried they can fit more fo them in the bag for the same calories. For example, an old school chip company might fit  10 chips in a 100ish calorie  bag with PopChips you'll get twice that for about the same calories. That's right more crunches per calorie. the Fat Guy loved the BBQ and Dr Fitness loved the Wasabi. Try them for yourselves. Go to there website for all the locations you can find them or to order them online. www.PopChips.comDr. Fitness was back with his tips on how to adjust your workout and attitude to the changing weather. He said 1-bring your workouts indoors; 2-chnage up the workouts...if you were biking and running now try yoga or stretching classes 3- change your wardrobe to accommodate the changing weather...remember no white after Labor Day. He had more great fitness tips but you'll have to listen to get them.Hot mom, Kathie Larkin was with us again. You know Kathie as the host of Real Savvy Moms.  Real Savvy Moms is a great show for hot moms, fat moms, all kinds of moms and is available on most PBS' around the US and online. Remember Kathie is one of the top feet and legs model's out there... she is so hot she got to be a body double for Alyssa Milano in that Veet commercial that is on TV 24 hours a day. Be sure to check out Kathie's website www.getkathie.com. Also check out her hosting skills on www.RealSavvyMoms.com. Remember we are now on every morning in Michigan. On radio station WKNW.
