280: Today I'm joined by Aaron Siri, Managing Partner of the law firm Siri & Glimstad LLP and a leading voice in the vaccine safety movement. He takes an evidence-based approach to the world of vaccinology, and is presenting a practical look at why vaccines have become more like religion than science. You may recognize him from the documentary “An Inconvenient Study” produced by Del Big Tree and the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN) - now Aaron is answering questions about lawsuits over vaccine safety and whether we can legally consider these doses “safe and effective.”   Topics Discussed: → What is the latest litigation over vaccine safety?  → Why are there so few studies on vaccines' long term effects?  → What does the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 actually mean for pharmaceutical companies' liability and protection? → How has public trust in vaccines shifted?  → Should the government be involved with vaccine regulations?  Sponsored By: → Function | Own your health for $365 a year - just a dollar a day.

A Lauren's Little Bedtime Story. In this soothing and magical bedtime adventure, Lauren takes listeners into the wondrous Garden of Midnight Sprouts, a hidden patch of earth that only comes alive after dark. When a young farmer discovers glowing plants that bloom at midnight—and tiny creatures who depend on them—she must find the courage, patience, and heart to protect the garden's magic. Filled with gentle humor, whimsical surprises, and a warm lesson about slowing down to notice the world around us, this cozy tale invites children to relax, imagine, and drift peacefully into sleep. Perfect for fans of calming nighttime stories, nature-themed adventures, and magical gardens.

The success story keeps rolling for Kiwi company AF Drinks. The alcohol-free brand has just secured nationwide distribution in the UK with supermarket giant Morrisons. It follows on from their US expansion, with them now stocked in over 4000 stores including Target, Walmart, and Sprouts. Founder Lisa King told Mike Hosking there's been a huge trend towards alcohol moderation. She says that a lot of people are still drinking alcohol, but they're moderating it and choosing to drink less or drink non-alcoholic versions.

Sprouts Farmers Market gehört zu den interessantesten Spezialisten im amerikanischen Lebensmitteleinzelhandel. Das Unternehmen hat sich mit einem klaren Fokus auf frische, natürliche und biologische Produkte etabliert und profitiert von einem Markt, der seit Jahren deutlich stärker wächst als der klassische Supermarktsektor. Gleichzeitig bleibt Sprouts mit einem Marktanteil von rund 0,5 Prozent weiterhin ein kleiner, aber dynamischer Player in einer stark fragmentierten Branche. Nach einem außergewöhnlich starken Kursanstieg im Jahr 2024 folgte eine Phase deutlicher Ernüchterung. Der Aktienkurs halbierte sich innerhalb weniger Monate, belastet durch eine anspruchsvolle Vergleichsbasis, schwächere Same-Store-Sales und einen vorsichtigeren Ausblick des Managements. Die jüngsten Quartalszahlen zeigten jedoch erneut stabile Gewinne und eine solide Margenentwicklung. Die zentrale Frage lautet nun: Spiegelt die aktuelle Bewertung bereits das reduzierte Wachstum wider, oder eröffnet der Rücksetzer neue Chancen? Im Podcast werden die wichtigsten Aspekte der Analyse eingeordnet: die langfristige Umsatz- und Gewinnentwicklung, die Strategie hinter dem Bio-Segment, die Expansion in neue Regionen, die Rolle des eigenen Markensortiments sowie die Bewertung im Vergleich zu Wettbewerbern wie Walmart, Costco, Kroger und Ahold Delhaize. Auch die charttechnische Situation wird betrachtet, inklusive des parabolischen Anstiegs, des anschließenden Trendbruchs und der Frage, bei welchen Kursniveaus sich ein erneuter Einstieg langfristig lohnen könnte.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for November 26th Publish Date:  November 26th Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Wednesday, November 26th and Happy Birthday to I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Which grocery stores are open on Thanksgiving? Christmas pilgrimage tour to offer a glimpse of historic Marietta homes Cobb cracks down on unregulated pet sales All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: Ingles 1 STORY 1: Which grocery stores are open on Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving’s almost here, and let’s be honest—someone’s gonna forget the cranberry sauce or run out of butter. Happens every year, right? If you’re that person (no judgment), don’t panic. While big stores like Walmart, Target, and Costco are taking the day off, a handful of grocery stores will have their doors open—just with shorter hours. Here’s the deal: Amazon Fresh? 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Food Lion? Closing at 3 (or 4 in some spots). Sprouts? Open till 7. Walgreens? Only the 24-hour ones. Moral of the story? Double-check your stores—or embrace the chaos. STORY 2: Christmas pilgrimage tour to offer a glimpse of historic Marietta homes The Marietta Pilgrimage Christmas Home Tour is back for its 39th year, running Dec. 5–7, and this time it’s all about the historic Kennesaw Avenue neighborhood. Think festive, decked-out homes, rich history, and a little holiday magic. Five private homes—plus churches, museums, and other historic spots—are opening their doors. Highlights? The 1840 Gignilliat-Griffin-Gilbert House with its Romanesque marble mantels, and the Buttolph House, where 12-foot ceilings and original fireplaces have been lovingly restored. Tickets are $35 in advance ($40 during the tour) and cover all three days. Complimentary shuttles will run from Mill Street. For tickets and details, visit mariettapilgrimage.com. STORY 3: Cobb cracks down on unregulated pet sales  Cobb County just tightened the leash on unregulated pet sales. A new ordinance, approved unanimously by the Board of Commissioners, now lets animal services officers issue citations for illegal roadside sales of dogs, cats, and rabbits—think parking lots, flea markets, and sidewalks. The ordinance doesn’t stop licensed breeders or pop-up adoptions, but it cracks down on shady sellers. Ann Lewis and her 9-year-old twins, Hadley and Ellie, spoke in support. “We’ve seen puppies sold from car trunks,” Ellie said. Three related amendments also passed, including one allowing shelters to shorten hold times during emergencies. Cobb’s shelter has already taken in over 6,200 animals this year, and space is tight. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. Break: STRAND THEATRE STORY 4: MHS students and volunteers help feed hundreds ahead of Thanksgiving break Marietta High didn’t just hand out food before Thanksgiving break—they showed up for their people. Over 200 families walked away with bags full of fresh produce and pantry staples, thanks to a team effort that felt more like a big, messy family reunion than a food drive. The JROTC kids and football players? They were out there at the crack of dawn on Nov. 19, hauling 10,000 pounds of food like champs. Superintendent Dr. Grant Rivera put it best: “This is what community looks like. Our students know they’re cared for, supported, and surrounded by love.” It’s not just a holiday thing, either—MHS has families’ backs all year long. STORY 5: ‘No more good 10 acres’: Parks director lays out path forward for Cobb  Cobb County’s running out of land for parks—like, really running out. Michael Brantley, the parks director, didn’t sugarcoat it when he spoke to the Kiwanis Club. “There’s no good 100-acre plots left. Heck, not even 10-acre ones,” he said. Land’s expensive, and what’s left? Not exactly prime real estate. So, what’s the plan? Brantley says it’s time to rethink what we’ve already got—revamp, redevelop, make it work. Oh, and there’s the Tritt property, nearly 30 acres near East Cobb Park. It’s tied up in restrictions, but there’s hope. And trails? Big plans there—connecting the Silver Comet to the Beltline? Game-changer. Break: STORY 6: Public comment sought on Orrs Ferry plan   Got thoughts on the future of Orrs Ferry? The National Park Service wants to hear ’em. They’re working on a big plan—like, 20 years big—for the Chattahoochee River’s Orrs Ferry unit, and they’re asking the public to weigh in by Dec. 21. What’s in the works? On the west side: new trails, restrooms, picnic spots, parking, and even a restored meadow. The east side? A bridge over Crayfish Creek, trail connections, and water access. Oh, and they’re rethinking old buildings—repurpose or remove? Got ideas? What’s missing? Check out the plan (and comment!) online. Your voice matters. STORY 7: Cumberland to launch driverless shuttle system  Cumberland’s gearing up for something straight out of the future: driverless shuttles. Thanks to $6.6 million in federal funding (plus $1.1 million from the CID), a fleet of eight ADA-accessible, autonomous shuttles is set to hit the streets in 2027. They’ll loop through hotspots like Truist Park, the Cobb Convention Center, Cumberland Mall, and even the Chattahoochee River. Kim Menefee, CID’s Executive Director, calls it a game-changer for transit—healthier communities, less traffic, and a model for the whole country. Oh, and rides? Free. The Hopper pilot proved it works, with 11,000 riders onboard. The future’s rolling in. We’ll have closing comments after this.

The latest AgNet News Hour delivers a wide-ranging look at the issues shaping American agriculture—from meat-industry shakeups to the rapid evolution of organic farming technology. Hosts Nick Papagni and Lorrie Boyer blend personal updates with in-depth interviews and industry analysis, creating a vivid picture of the pressures and opportunities facing today's producers. Holiday Reflections and Shifting Trends in American Beef The program opens with lighthearted Thanksgiving conversation, including cooking traditions and reflections on a recent interview about preparing the perfect turkey. But the tone quickly shifts as the hosts discuss a major jolt to the U.S. beef industry: Tyson Foods' decision to close a key Nebraska processing facility. The plant, which employed roughly 3,000 workers and handled nearly 5% of daily U.S. beef slaughter, has broad implications for cattle markets, regional economies, and long-term production capacity. Nick and Lorrie explore the underlying pressures contributing to the closure, including: Declining cattle numbers Rising labor and operational costs Expanding automation Increasing regulatory burdens Concerns for rural communities dependent on packing-house jobs These factors, they note, are reshaping beef production and accelerating the push toward efficiency and technology across the supply chain. Spotlight on the Organic Grower Summit in Monterey The show transitions into an extended conversation with Matt Jungmann, Senior Director of Events for the Organic Grower Summit (OGS), scheduled for December 3–4 in Monterey, California. Jungmann outlines the mission and growth of the summit, which brings together growers, researchers, suppliers, and innovators advancing the organic marketplace. He highlights several key components of this year's event: Educational Sessions & Key Issues Regulatory challenges for U.S. organic producers Labor shortages and rising wage pressures Banking, finance, and risk management Regenerative farming and soil health Marketing, consumer trends, and retailer engagement Retail chains such as Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and Sprouts—longtime champions of organic demand—continue to play a significant role in pushing the category forward. Automation, Robotics, and New Tech Demonstrations Jungmann emphasizes that technology is becoming a central force in the organic sector. While organic acreage is growing steadily rather than rapidly, he notes that the barriers to converting new ground remain high. For many producers, automation offers a path to improved efficiency and long-term sustainability. Among the most anticipated summit attractions: Autonomous weeding and cultivation machines AI-driven tools for mechanical pest and weed control Concept robotics from startups such as Reservoir Hands-on demonstrations showing how machines perform in real organic environments He stresses that as chemical options narrow—especially with fewer new pesticides entering the organic toolbox—mechanical and robotic solutions are filling critical gaps. Community, Collaboration, and the Organic Grower of the Year Beyond technology, Youngman celebrates the strong community that defines organic agriculture. The summit fosters a sense of fellowship, giving growers space to exchange ideas, compare seasons, and learn from firsthand experience. He also highlights the Organic Grower of the Year finalists, representing innovation, stewardship, and leadership across multiple states. The award underscores the dedication required to farm organically in an era marked by rising costs, fluctuating markets, and rigorous regulatory frameworks. California's Regulatory Reality vs. the Rest of the Nation The interview includes a candid discussion of how California's farming environment differs dramatically from states like Illinois, where Jungmann grew up. California producers face: Significantly higher labor costs More intensive regulatory requirements Water uncertainty Environmental compliance challenges Market pressures from global competitors with lower production costs Jungmann argues that the future of California agriculture may hinge on growers' ability to embrace new efficiencies—and events like OGS help equip them for that transition. Industry Conversations Continue at the National Association of Farm Broadcasting Convention After the interview concludes, the show returns to Lorrie Boyer, who recounts her recent trip to the National Association of Farm Broadcasting annual convention in Kansas City. The event provided a deep dive into: Commodity and livestock market outlooks Fertilizer prices and global supply chains Weather impacts on crop production Innovations in machinery and agritech Geopolitical pressures influencing U.S. agriculture Consumer nutrition trends and the federal MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) report She also notes discussions around Proposition 12, nutrition policy, new consumer-facing pork campaigns, and the impact of synthetic food dyes on children's health. Rising Consumer Awareness and the Push for Better Food Quality The show ends with a discussion about food dyes and the slow pace of regulatory change. A parent from California shared how removing dyes transformed her son's health—an example the hosts use to highlight growing consumer scrutiny of food ingredients. This concern ties directly back to the organic movement and the mission of improving food quality, even as healthier products come at a higher cost. Final Thoughts From meat-industry upheaval to breakthroughs in organic farming, the AgNet News Hour offers a candid snapshot of modern agriculture's evolving landscape. Whether it's automation, regulation, or shifting consumer demands, producers across the country are adapting quickly—and conversations like these help illuminate the challenges and opportunities ahead.

Most founders focus on selling their products, but few take the time to teach people why they matter. For Shizu Okusa, that difference has become her biggest advantage in business. A former Wall Street trader turned wellness entrepreneur, Shizu is the founder and CEO of Apothékary–a brand known as "Mother Nature's Pharmacy."  What started in her kitchen, mixing herbs like maca and ashwagandha, has grown into a nationwide brand stocked in Ulta, Sprouts, and 500+ stores across the U.S. Shizu's lessons in business will change your approach to connecting with customers.  Education Over Persuasion If you want people to trust your brand, stop selling and start teaching. Shizu discovered that most consumers don't reject wellness products because they don't care; they reject them because they don't understand them. By focusing on education instead of persuasion, she turned curiosity into loyalty.  From breaking down the science behind adaptogens to teaching why liquid tinctures outperform pills, Apothékary built authority through honesty — and showed that sharing knowledge is the strongest form of marketing. Growth Without Burnout Fast growth means nothing if you burn out in the process. Shizu's journey is a reminder to pace your ambition. She shares how defining her investor relationships, protecting her energy, and staying rooted in purpose helped her scale Apothékary without losing herself.  Her approach challenges every founder to ask: Are you building something that grows fast, or something that lasts? Enjoy this episode with Shizu Okusa… Soundbytes 08:23 - 08:31 "And so there's just a lot of education that actually is marketing. We primarily think ourselves as an education company more than anything else." 30:54 - 31:13 "The company will grow exponentially, and people grow linearly. So, when I say that, what that basically means is, your company is going to be pacing with consumer demand or market growth. And so if your company and your market's growing exponentially, there is no way you can have the same expectation for people to grow exponentially." Quotes "The company will grow exponentially, and people grow linearly." "There really is a cost that comes with growth." "I think of myself as an editor of the brand, more than a face of the brand." "Our bodies are really powerful compasses, and it takes one to quiet down and really listen and tune in."

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Nathan Jones, CEO of Xlear, Inc.

Nathan Jones, CEO of Xlear, Inc., details the benefits of xylitol in dental and respiratory health products such as nasal sprays and chewing gums under the Spry brand. Nathan advocates for the FDA to allow anti-cavity claims for xylitol and other compounds despite the current monopoly of fluoride in such claims. They question the efficacy and potential downsides of fluoride, and explore alternative dental health interventions. The episode also covers xylitol's role in preventing tooth decay, respiratory health benefits during the COVID-19 pandemic, and ongoing legal challenges with the FTC. Discussions highlight the potential implications of oral health on systemic diseases like cardiovascular disease and Parkinson's, and emphasize the importance of nasal hygiene alongside dental care.

On this week's episode - Wade and Gavin chat with Jonathan Lawrence. Jonathan has an extensive background in retail, growing up in his family business, Arizona Health Foods, Sunflower Farmers Market, Sprouts and most recently an 11 year run at Fresh Thyme Market that featured several leadership positions! Jonathan is now Vice President of Sales of Natural/Specialty at Advantage Solutions working with brands, retailers, and his team on maximizing penetration of brands in those retailers. We talk all things retail, leading teams, opening stores, brokering and his guess on how many steak dinners Gavin ate and didn't pay for.

In this episode, we sit down with Michael, Founder & CEO of Rotten, the better-for-you candy brand that's rewriting the rules of CPG with bold flavor, unapologetic branding, and an omnichannel strategy built for today's consumer.Michael shares the unexpected origin story behind Rotten—from his childhood obsession with sour gummies to realizing the “healthy” candy world felt too clinical and joyless. Instead of leaning into the typical wellness aesthetic, he embraced rebellion, nostalgia, and fun, creating a brand that looks indulgent but performs better.We cover everything from branding that disrupts the aisle, to acquisition tactics in an impulse-driven category, to how Rotten approaches retention when customers bounce between Sprouts, Amazon, TikTok Shop, airports, and DTC. Michael also breaks down the surprising not-so-seasonal nature of candy, the power of founder-led content, and why an omnichannel retention strategy is the only realistic approach for modern CPG brands.If you're interested in brand building, retail expansion, customer behavior, or breaking conventions in a crowded market, this episode delivers a masterclass in standing out—by being unapologetically different.

Cavities are still one of America's most common diseases – despite decades of fluoride use. Xlear is calling on the FDA to recognize xylitol as an active anticaries ingredient so dental professionals and patients can finally access this powerful tool. Xylitol, a safe and natural compound, has been proven to stop cavity- causing bacteria and dramatically reduce tooth decay.The American Dental Hygienist Association (ADHA) in conjunction with Xlear, a leader in hygiene products, filed a citizen petition with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) urging the FDA to formally recognize xylitol as an approved Over-the-Counter (OTC) active ingredient in dental hygiene products, including toothpaste, rinses, gels, mouthwashes, gums, and lozenges.Xylitol addresses the root cause of tooth decay. In contrast, fluoride strengthens tooth enamel. Fluoride has almost no effect on the bacteria that causes tooth decay. Studies have shown that xylitol has a higher “protection factor” in fighting cavities than fluoride.“Dental decay is the single most common communicable, chronic disease inflicting Americans today. Moreover, dental decay is also closely associated with driving other serious health risks - ranging from heart disease to diabetes,” said Trisha O'Hehir, MS, RDH.Key Facts:·         Nearly 90% of U.S. adults have experienced tooth decay.·         Studies show xylitol can reduce cavities by up to 80%.·         Xylitol works by neutralizing acid-producing bacteria and protecting enamel at the source.·         Xylitol is safe if swallowed, a key benefit for children.·         Widely used internationally, xylitol is already found in gum and oral hygiene products. The petition requests that FDA: Amend 21 C.F.R. Part 355 to list xylitol as an approved anti-caries active ingredient. Alternatively, issue a new OTC monograph under Section 505G of the FDCA.Learn more about the Petition hereXlear is one of the nation's leaders in effective xylitol hygiene products, available inpharmacies, big box stores, natural retailers and online.XLEAR's Retailers: Walgreens, CVS, Vitamin Shoppe, Target, Kroger, Sprouts, Natural Grocers and most natural products retailers nationwide.XLEAR's Online Retailers: Amazon, iHerb, Lucky Vitamin, and Vitacost.comLearn more at Xlear.com or SprySmile.com

This week's episode of the En Factor features Whitney Dueñas Richardson, who is the founder of Global Sprouts. Whitney's journey is a very inspiring one, where she grew up in Guam before her family moved to the United States while she was in high school, when she was struck by the low level of cultural awareness in the United States. But it was when Whitney saw this same disconnect in her own daughter, she knew she had to do something to educate the future generation about being culturally aware, curious, and understanding. These experiences combined with her constant traveling around the world have resulted in Whitney starting Global Sprouts, which are culturally themed learning kits based off of different cultures around the world that allow families and educators to immerse the younger generation in other cultures. Through resources and activities including board games, toys, children's stories, recipes and more, Global Sprouts' boxes instantly immerse and educate children on other people, places, and cultures all around the world. Tune and in join Whitney and Dr. Rebecca White for this insightful and impactful conversation as they uncover topics including how Whitney's childhood and heritage shaped her identity and approach to life, the value of experiencing and immersing yourself into other people's cultures, and how being fearless and open-minded can open so many new doors and opportunities for you as an entrepreneur. Key Words - Cultural Awareness, Women In Entrepreneurship

Tracey Testo-Smith returns to Nature Calls: Conversations from the Hudson Valley to share her knowledge and experience about foraging. In this episode, Tim and Jean sit down with Tracey Testo-Smith, Agroforestry and Natural Resources Program Manager at Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) of Columbia and Greene Counties, to discuss the practice of foraging. This interview was originally recorded as part of the Digging In With Master Gardeners radio show on WGXC 90.7FM and now repurposed for a podcast format. Tracey reviews some of the misconceptions about what foraging actually is. Foraging doesn't need a vast array of information about everything in the forest. The main thing to know is whether a plant is useful, either for food or medicinal purposes. Tracey leads foraging walks in the spring at the Hudson CCE campus and in the fall at the Acra campus. Her classes before the walks teach folks how to identify individual plants before they even step into the woods. She often brings in co-presenters to expand their access to expertise. The public can enroll online and sign up for quarterly newsletters at http://ccecolumbiagreene.org. There are always common sense caveats: know the history of the site you're collecting from... for example, a former farm may have residual pesticide contamination. don't forage along a roadside where contamination happens daily from passing cars. Another factor to be aware of is the name of the plant. Often a common name will be misleading. Hemlock, for instance, can be a benign evergreen tree or a poisonous weed. Knowing the botanical name avoids any such confusion and danger. To start as a forager on your own, Tracey suggests that you really get to know a plant, even for as long as a year. Familiarity with the plant's different stages lets you know the most useful times to “harvest”, She cites the dandelion as an example, whose different parts are useful in different seasons. Then leaves can be harvested first in early spring, then the flower buds, then petals, and finally the roots. Their values range from food to dying tints to medicinal, all varying according to part and season.Some plants, like pokeberry and elderberry, have certain parts that are edible while the rest of the plant is poisonous. Tracey finds salad greens in chickweed and blue violets, and bittercress. While these can be eaten raw, always stay aware of the possibility of pollutants when using plants near water. Ramps are famously a popular dish in restaurants, in season. These are wild leeks, and very specific as to their growing conditions. They are very slow growers, taking up to a decade to reach maturity. Tracey advises that you be exceptionally thoughtful if collecting in the wild. The leaves and bulbs are both edible. Don't try to take them home to grow because they will not survive the removal. There are now growers who can sell you bulbs to start at home without disrupting fragile populations. Teas are another way to use foraged plants. Most mints are amenable to teas, as are clovers and yarrow. These are all amenable to drying as well, so can be stockpiled for winter use. Plants are not the only target of foragers. Tracey covers the practice of mushroom hunting. Different seasons produce wild crops of different varieties of mushrooms. Early spring is for Morels, midsummer for Chanterelles, and autumn for Chicken (or hen) of the woods. Tracey reviews what the warning signs are of poison mushrooms, and reviews the possibility of growing your own, with CCE classes available. Every mushroom, by the way, is safe to handle, even if toxic.Going deeper into the subject of what's poisonous, the environment can alter the nature of a plant. Stinging nettle can absorb heavy metals from a polluted site. Know your location's history if possible. There are plants that are a contact risk, like poison ivy or water hemlock. It's wise to know the plants that grow around your foraging target plants.  Tracey advises to harvest moderately, so as to insure the future of the plant. The exception to this practice is invasives. If a plant is invasive... eat it all. The example she uses is Japanese knotweed. Sprouts taste like asparagus blended with rhubarb, it's full of antioxidants. The leaves can even be utilized in a paper making process.

When Kimberlee Duval arrived at Cymbiotika, the wellness company was preparing a leap few bootstrapped brands attempt—moving from direct-to-consumer to retail shelves. “Our two owners, Charlene and Shahab, have done everything direct,” she tells us. “They wanted to build an organization for the long term.” That resolve led the company to take on debt rather than private-equity money to fund its Sprouts launch in 2024. The risk paid off: Sprouts highlighted Cymbiotika's success in its quarterly earnings release, proof that intentional growth can outperform speed.Now, with products heading to 1,988 Target stores, Duval's finance team is focused on scaling without losing clarity. “We restructured the finance function to align with that growth strategy,” she tells us, pointing to centralized operations in NetSuite, expanded FP&A and cost accounting capabilities, and the creation of clear SOPs. Technology, she believes, is the enabler that keeps teams lean and insights sharp.“There's no reason to segregate between the groups,” she explains, describing her cross-channel approach to e-commerce and retail finance. AI tools and automated workflows now handle much of the transactional load, freeing her people to focus on analysis and collaboration.At the heart of her leadership philosophy is unity. “We're a team … with a common purpose and a common goal,” Duval tells us. That ethos—pairing disciplined systems with shared intent—continues to shape Cymbiotika's transformation from a digital wellness brand into a multichannel movement for intentional living.

This segment from the Omni Talk Retail Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Mirakl, Ocampo Capital, Infios, and Quorso, covers Sprouts Farmers Market's announcement to open 20 in-store Klatch Coffee cafes across Southern California. Anne explains why this move is perfectly aligned with Sprouts' destination shopping experience... customers who visit Sprouts are in a different mindset, taking time to discover new products and consult with specialized staff. Adding locally-sourced, independent brand coffee creates an elevated experience similar to getting champagne at a department store. Chris highlights that Sprouts has massive "dry powder" for growth: they're only in 24 states, just launched their loyalty program, operate an optimized smaller store format, and now add coffee shops as another traffic driver. When shoppers linger with coffee, basket sizes increase... making this a savvy operations play.

This segment from the Omni Talk Retail Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Mirakl, Ocampo Capital, Infios, and Quorso, examines Amazon's decision to close all 19 Fresh grocery stores in the UK. Chris argues this confirms that grocery is incredibly hard to disrupt and that Amazon can't win on freshness, price, or experience without the necessary scale. He predicts Amazon Fresh in the US is "dead on arrival" and questions whether Amazon is making similar mistakes with Whole Foods by moving away from the "Whole Paycheck" premium positioning. Anne agrees that competitors like Sprouts, Lidl, and Aldi are beating Amazon at their own game with better distribution, fresher products, and lower prices. However, both hosts wonder if Amazon's pivot to online grocery could eventually win in a future where automated fulfillment becomes cheaper than in-store operations.

Hurray's Girl Beer isn't just another craft brand. It's a calculated rebellion against an industry stuck in the past. In this episode, Hurray's founder Ray Biebuyck joins Taste Radio editor Ray Latif and Brewbound managing editor Jess Infante to share her vision for a beer brand that doesn't just challenge convention, it openly mocks it. Witty, unapologetic, and intentionally unorthodox, Hurray's markets flavored light beers, including Pineapple Yuzu and Blueberry Lavender varieties, crafted not to honor tradition, but to disrupt it. The brand's satirical, female-forward positioning flips the script in a category that has long overlooked nearly a third of its audience: women. Ray discusses how Hurray's draws more from stand-up comedy than legacy brewing playbooks, using humor and irreverence as tools for connection, and conversion. She also reveals how this disruptive approach is translating into real-world traction, with Hurray's on track to reach over 3,000 retail locations, including Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, BevMo, Total Wine, Sprouts, and Walmart, by Q1 2026. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Ray Biebuyck, Founder & CEO, Hurray's Girl Beer – Ray traces her roots back to New England and her early career in the corporate world, with stints at J.P. Morgan and WeWork after graduating from college in New York City. She discussed how, at the onset of the pandemic, she stepped in to support operations for a local beverage alcohol brand and recognized a gap in the market: a disconnect between male-dominated beer branding and female consumers. Ray eventually launched Hurray's Girl Beer in 2024 and shares the uphill journey of pitching a new beer brand in a male-dominated, slowing market, and how she carved out a niche by courting an underserved audience. She recalls self-distributing cases out of a Toyota Camry to landing shelf space in 200 retail doors across Los Angeles and Orange County and how Girl Beer secured distribution at Whole Foods, BevMo, and Total Wine. Ray also details the pivotal relationship with an Anheuser-Busch-aligned distributor, which accelerated growth and expanded reach and why she believes the brand is on track for a breakout year in 2026. Brands in this episode: Hurray's Girl Beer, Shacksbury Cider, Woodchuck Cider, Magic Hat, Ben & Jerry's, Seventh Generation, Green Mountain Coffee, Poppi, Olipop, Liquid Death, Garage Beer, Surfside, Budweiser, Bud Light, Golden Road, Elysian, Busch, Heineken, White Claw, Truly, Bud Light Seltzer, Michelob Ultra, Friday Beers
