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.

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.

Jeff Church knows the highs and lows of brand-building like few do. A serial entrepreneur, Jeff co-founded cold-pressed juice pioneer Suja and led its development to a $100 million brand. Jeff also lost over $4 million of his own money in Rowdy Energy, a now defunct energy drink challenger he co-founded with NASCAR driver Kyle Busch. Jeff's experience and perspective on how brands succeed – and the reason they don't – is why we asked him to join us for a live interview as part of an industry networking event in San Diego hosted by BevNET and Taste Radio on Sept. 25. As part of an expansive conversation, Jeff spoke about how he navigated Suja's early development and rapid growth and what he believes was the most impactful decision in determining the brand's success. He also discussed the failure of Rowdy Energy, which launched in 2020 and shut down less than four years later. Jeff, who currently leads an accelerator program for emerging brands, also shared his take on the current landscape for early-stage food and beverage companies, weighing in on the value of innovation, high quality package design, profitability and staffing. Show notes: 0:35: Jeff Church, Co-Founder & Former CEO, Suja – Jeff chats about his background in the beverage industry and why he has focused on building and working with startups. He also talks about the most challenging aspect of operating a food or beverage brand in the first two years of its development, why it's critical to “over communicate” with family members about the hardships of entrepreneurship and why he crafts a business strategy by “starting from where you want to get to and working backwards.” He also talks about how skill sets of a brand founder are significantly different from that of a brand manager and why he encourages a “fake it till you make it” mindset. Jeff also discusses the problems that led to Rowdy Energy's demise and why he believes that success is 25% luck and timing, before he answers a series of true or false questions related to early-stage entrepreneurship. Brands in this episode: Suja, Rowdy Energy, Blueprint, Evolution Fresh, Pop & Bottle

This episode focuses on the film + TV industry and highlights Yulin's journey, her thoughts on dealing with rejection, imposter syndrome and going after what you want in life. *The audio is a little glitchy the first 5 mins of this episode but I promise it stops begging for attention Get 10% off my favorite organic juice - Suja.

How can couples with significant age differences navigate the complex financial planning conversations to ensure a secure future together? In this insightful episode, Suja welcomes back Jay Zygmunt, PhD, CFP, and CEO of Child Free Wealth, to discuss the unique financial planning challenges faced by couples with significant age differences. As a certified financial planner specializing in helping child-free individuals, Jay shares his expertise on the essential conversations these couples need to have, from long-term care planning to estate management. He emphasizes the importance of seeking professional guidance to facilitate these sensitive discussions and offers practical advice on how to approach the topic of mortality and its impact on financial decision-making. Jay Zigmont, PhD, MBA, CFP® is the Founder and CEO of Childfree Wealth®, a life and financial planning firm dedicated to helping Childfree and Permanently Childless people. Childfree Wealth is the first life and financial planning firm dedicated to serving Childfree people. [00:00:00] Introduction: Suja welcomes Jay Zygmunt back to discuss financial planning for couples with significant age differences. 25% of adults are child-free, and the financial planning world is primarily built around the idea of having children. Couples with age gaps face unique challenges in financial planning conversations. Jay specializes in helping child-free individuals with their financial planning needs. [00:01:00] Starting with the Uncomfortable Conversation Discussing mortality and the likelihood of one partner outliving the other is a difficult but necessary conversation. The conversation involves long-term care, estate planning, and investment decisions. Couples often avoid this conversation due to its uncomfortable nature. [00:03:00] The Importance of Long-Term Care Planning Women spend an average of 3.7 years in care, while men spend 2.2 years, costing around $115,000 per year. Couples with age differences need to plan for long-term care to protect the surviving partner. Estate planning is crucial, especially for child-free couples, to ensure assets are distributed according to their wishes. [00:05:00] Seeking Professional Guidance Involving a third party, such as a financial planner, can help facilitate sensitive conversations about mortality and financial planning. Professionals can guide couples in discussing priorities, such as caring for aging parents, inheritance, and power of attorney. Lack of proper planning can lead to severe consequences, such as being kicked out of one's own house due to joint ownership with in-laws. [00:07:00] Self-Insuring for Long-Term Care and Conclusion Self-insuring for long-term care requires setting aside approximately $500,000 and ensuring a 5% annual growth rate to keep up with rising costs. Purchasing long-term care insurance in mid-40s can be more cost-effective. These conversations are essential for all couples, regardless of whether they have children, to ensure they make the most of their lives and pass on their desired legacy. Quote: "When it comes to couples with significant age differences, having a plan for the inevitable is crucial. It's not just about the numbers; it's about facing mortality head-on and ensuring that both partners are protected and secure in their future together." - Jay Zygmunt, PhD, CFP "Couples often avoid discussing the uncomfortable reality of one partner outliving the other, but it's a conversation that must be had. Bringing in a third party, like a financial planner, can help facilitate these sensitive discussions." - Jay Zygmunt, PhD, CFP Connect with Jay: Website: https://childfreewealth.com Free copy of the book "Portraits of Childfree Wealth": https://childfreewealth.com/book Podcast: https://childfreewealth.buzzsprout.com WANT TO LEARN MORE?
