“Please rate this book.” “What was your experience at Tesco like?” “Did this carrot meet your expectations?”… Star ratings are everywhere and they're ruining the world. You can't order a curry, watch a film or buy a kettle without having to check what others said about it – and being pestered to give your review. We've turned the entire planet into a customer satisfaction survey, but how did it happen? With a limitless choice on offer, are star ratings more help or hindrance? Can we trust them – and how can you spot a scam write-up? Benji Wilson, author of Rate This Book: How Star Ratings Took Over the World, tells Emma Kennedy what the pressure to review and rate everything is doing to our minds.  • Buy Benji's book Rate This Book: How Star Ratings Took Over the World from our affiliate bookshop and you'll help fund the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.

This week's episode is a certified fever dream. We open with a man in Fort Wayne who mutilated himself and used the evidence as literal kindling, then pivot to an Argentine flight instructor who bailed out of a plane mid-lesson and left his student to land it solo. Biohacker Bryan Johnson — the guy trying to live to 2140 — just found out his own stomach is eating itself, and an Idaho mom who blamed vaccines for her twins' deaths is now facing murder charges instead. On the crime beat: a Vegas Little League president blew $65K in team funds on strip clubs and ED pills, a Pasadena doctor who drove his family off a cliff walked free after a mental health diversion program, a New Jersey woman got busted for child sex abuse thanks to a very unfortunate tattoo, and an 84-year-old Florida man tried to torch his ex of 42 years and mostly just torched himself. Then we lighten it up (sort of) with a UK mom tossed from Tesco for a backless top, Swifties dropping real money on cubes of literal trash from Taylor and Travis's wedding, and Jersey Shore lifeguards earning hazard pay wrestling a drunk guy out of the surf. And because the news never stops: we break down the death of Sen. Lindsey Graham, the Mitch McConnell health-mystery-turned-fall-and-pneumonia saga, Conor McGregor's much-hyped UFC 329 comeback against Max Holloway (spoiler: it didn't go the way he predicted), and the World Cup semifinals shaping up with Argentina-England and France-Spain. Buckle up — this one's got everything.

Jay Klein lost $2 million on a gum nobody wanted. He sold the remaining stock to a pig feed company for $13,000 - then used every cent of it to launch Pur. Sixteen years later, Pur is the fastest-growing gum in North America, the #1 selling gum on Amazon, sells in over 50 countries, and does over $250 million in retail sales annually. All bootstrapped. All founder-owned. And built in a $20 billion industry controlled by fewer than ten giants who still haven't managed to take him out. In this interview, the founder of The Pur Company breaks down how he discovered his winning product insight for free at 30,000 feet, why he deliberately ignored Walmart and Tesco to win thousands of tiny independent stores first, and how he absorbed a brutal 39% tariff - without raising a dollar or passing a cent to his customers - and still grew 30% that year. What you'll learn in this interview: • How losing $2 million on his first gum brand rewired everything - and why getting back to zero was his greatest victory • The airplane focus group: how he discovered the aspartame insight for free that became the entire Pur thesis • Why he targeted independent health food stores instead of big retailers - and the "major league attitude in a minor league setting" strategy behind it • How he convinced his manufacturer to extend 30-day credit on a $250K first order with only $13K to his name • The "assemble the crumbs to make the cookie" philosophy: why Pur has never been built on a single big retail relationship • How duty free airports became his global expansion engine - and why he treated them like his version of New York City • Why he turned down the Dragon's Den deal even after it went through - and what he got out of it anyway • The 39% Swiss tariff crisis: how he absorbed the full hit rather than disrupt his retail relationships - and why scale actually amplified the problem instead of solving it • Why he keeps the lowest possible balance in his checking account on purpose - and what it does for his hunger as a founder • What he looks for now as a Dragon's Den investor: the two things that matter before any unit economics conversation If you're building a CPG or retail brand, trying to figure out how to grow without giving away equity, or looking for the real story behind what bootstrapped category-building looks like across 16 years and 50 countries, this conversation will fundamentally change how you think about distribution, resilience, and what it means to outwork the competition one crumb at a time.

In this episode of Can Marketing Save the Planet, we are joined by Helena Mansell-Stopher, CEO of Products of Change (POC). POC, is a brilliant and active membership organisation working with over 1,400 people across brands, manufacturers, and retailers to come together and drive environmental and social change. This part of Helena's journey started at National Geographic, where she had the idea and insight to start connecting incubator brands doing things differently with retail distribution, while also helping larger brands learn from them. What started as a think tank six years ago has now become a movement with international reach. "Education is the biggest barrier, people in industry are problem solvers. If they know what problem they need to solve and why, they'll get on and find a solution." A key focus of Products of Change is shifting the language of sustainability from moral obligation to smart business. "We've got to start using more business language. It's how you're reducing your impact, reducing the cost of that, mitigating taxes, reducing risk because you're enabling your supply chains to be more robust." Helena shares the example of, UK Greetings who have been on a 6 year journey. They removed glitter and single-use plastic from their cards, and brought back a lot of their production to the UK, and as a result, have seen double-digit growth, retained staff, and unlocked creativity through paper engineering. We delve into POC's initiatives such as ‘Recycle to Read', a programme Helena explains, "showcases that our waste has a value." ‘Recycle to Read' enables children to swap or recycle toys, earning Planet Care points that translate into free books for their school through a Harper Collins partnership. They collected 15 tons of hard plastic toys last year in a small Tesco trial (now rolled out to 160 stores), with no PR. It's a programme which is building the blueprint for Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in toys. Helena talks about the POC Conference held annually, where the industry gathers to share innovations from brands such as Lego, Disney, Universal Music Groups and Primark. She also shares the work they do on ‘The Partner Maturity Index', which was built with investment from Netflix and Paramount. The Index further accelerates progress by allowing manufacturers to fill in their sustainability data once and share it with all the brands they work with, reducing duplication whilst also benchmarking industry maturity. This is a really great listen! Tune in as we talk to Helena about: How Products of Change grew from a think tank to a global membership organisation. Why sustainability conversations must be framed as business resilience, risk mitigation, and cost reduction. How working as an industry can make change happen faster. Recycle to Read – getting value from waste. Why honesty in marketing is so important and how the language needs to change.

Tampons in an Ice Cream TubIn this episode of Brand Growth Heroes, I'm joined by Tara Chandra and Susan Allen, co-founders of Here We Flo, the organic, sustainable period care brand turning one of the most shame-coded categories in consumer brands into something loud, funny, feminist and brilliantly visible on shelf. We talk about how two friends from LSE spotted a gap in women's intimate products, started with a period care idea in a Hackney flatshare, and built a challenger brand now stocked across major retailers including Boots, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Superdrug and Holland & Barrett.Here We Flo shows us the power of brand strategy to create value when the category ITSELF is broken. Tara and Susan didn't just create organic cotton tampons, pads and liners; they questioned why period care was hidden, clinical and functional when other parts of consumer life had already moved towards better materials, better design and better conversations. We cover packaging as a growth lever, why their ice cream tub became a “trolley magnet”, how they think about rate of sale rather than just chasing distribution, and why their mission now stretches across cycle care, bladder care and sexual wellness.What You'll Learn Why Here We Flo used packaging as their first “billboard” before they could afford media.  How starting in independent Hackney stores helped them build product market fit.  Why brand tone of voice matters so much in categories shaped by shame and stigma.  How they think about growing rate of sale with existing retail partners.  Why product reliability is non-negotiable in period care and bladder care. Key Topics Discussed Building a feminist challenger brand  Organic and sustainable period care  Packaging as a shelf strategy  Launching in independent retailers  Breaking into WHSmith Travel, Boots and Tesco  Making taboo categories emotionally accessible  Period care, bladder care and sexual wellness  Growing through rate of sale, not just distribution  Education on shelf and in-store communication  Sports partnerships, stigma and period confidence  Building a team of 31 women  Scaling towards 50–100% growth ambitions Like this episode? PLEASE share the love by sharing this episode with another founder building a challenger brand, a colleague or a mate who loves brilliant non-alcoholic drinks, or anyone trying to work out how to build a sharper, more focused growth model.Don't forget to FOLLOW or SUBSCRIBE to Brand Growth Heroes on your favourite podcast app, and even LEAVE A REVIEW - both of these actions make a MASSIVE difference to our mission to help more founders just like you.Join our community Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/brandgrowthheroes) LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/company/brand-growth-heroes/?viewAsMember=true) Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/@brandgrowthheroes)Find out more about the programmes and courses Fiona runs here (https://www.brandgrowthheroes.com/mini-mba-2026)AND Do you want to lean in to unlock value from AI?

Jason Cotta didn't take the classic corporate route to the boardroom. He left school at 16 with almost no qualifications and started on the very lowest rung of the retail ladder. Today, he is the CEO of Arcturus Group overseeing iconic hospitality brands like Pho, Rosa's Thai, and Mowgli.  In this episode, Jason shares his fascinating perspective as an "unlikely CEO", breaking down why your career isn't a linear ladder, how he handled massive commercial crises, and why real leaders always pull the next generation up behind them. You'll Learn Why: Linear progression is a myth, and navigating sideways moves can actually make you a much broader, more resilient leader. Overcoming an internal "impostor syndrome" about formal education can unlock a deeper, more strategic intellectual confidence. Successful leaders have a responsibility to actively lift others up the ladder and help them realise their full potential. Finding a corporate culture where you can bring your whole, authentic self to work completely transforms your leadership energy. This episode is living proof that no matter where you're starting from — or what life throws at you — it's never too late to be brave, bold, and unlock your inner brilliant.

Vivian Wong, co-founder of Little Moons, shares the unfiltered story of building the UK's most talked-about mochi ice cream brand — from a small family bakery to a £27mn pound run rate overnight.Vivian talks to Sir Richard Harpin, founder of Homeserve, about how a single TikTok video sent shoppers queuing outside Tesco at 7am, and why ten years of groundwork meant Little Moons was ready to seize the moment rather than be consumed by it. She reveals her learnings from a costly factory mistake — and the sunk cost fallacy that nearly upended the business. Vivian also shares the personal catalyst that made her start the business, the reality of co-founding with a sibling, and how she now lives by a simple rule: no regrets.Themes covered:Why owning your manufacturing is a genuine competitive advantage in the FMCG worldHow Vivien bootstrapped Little Moons for 12 years before taking private equity investmentWhen and how to bring in a professional CEOThe difference between a coach and a mentor, and why you need bothBusiness Leader is a membership community for ambitious CEOs and founders of mid-sized UK companies, designed to help them grow with purpose through strategic support, peer-to-peer learning, expert coaching, and high-impact events.

De hele wereld zal het volgen: de eerste rentevergadering van de Federal Reserve onder de nieuwe voorzitter Kevin Warsh. De economie is wel toe aan een renteverhoging, eentje die de Europese Centrale Bank deze week al doorvoerde. De vraag is of Kevin Warsh al durft te volgen, of dat hij toch nog even aan de leiband van president Trump blijft hangen. In Beurs in Zicht stomen we je klaar voor de beursweek die je tegemoet gaat.

How Adobe Quietly Powers the World (and the AI Fight for Creators)This episode of Jimmy's Jobs of the Future visits Adobe's London headquarters to explore how Adobe's influence extends beyond Photoshop and PDFs into marketing technology that powers personalized experiences for major brands and institutions like Tesco, the Premier League, banks, Channel 4, Sky, Disney, and governments. VP Simon Morris explains Adobe's creative, document, and marketing solutions, how customer data is unified to deliver tailored communications, and highlights a campaign recreating Edvard Munch's physical brushes as Photoshop tools. The discussion covers Adobe's UK-wide initiatives, including tools for Women's FA Cup clubs, the Adobe Digital Academy, and government skills programs. Policy lead Stefanie Valdes-Scott addresses AI governance, creator protection, copyright, trust, content attribution via content credentials, and the unresolved tension between AI-enabled creativity and creators' fear of losing control of their work. 00:00 Adobe Hidden Influence 01:57 Quick Adobe History 02:45 Inside London HQ 04:15 Brands Powered By Adobe 05:40 Premier League Personalization 07:28 Banking Experience Design 10:05 Creativity Meets Data 13:11 Hiring Modern Marketers 14:08 Tools For Everyone 17:33 AI Productivity Debate 20:25 UK Initiatives And Skills 22:32 Creator Copyright Fears 24:01 Policy And AI Governance 25:31 Copyright And New Rights 30:30 Content Credentials Trust 32:55 Final Takeaways ********** Follow us on socials!

Greenvolt Next, part of Greenvolt Group, a leading specialist in renewable energy solutions for the commercial and industrial sector, has announced the creation of 90 new jobs – 50 of which will be based at its Waterford headquarters. Over the next 12 months, the company will be recruiting mid-level to senior managers to support its operations in Ireland and the UK. Roles will include project engineers, senior project engineers, project managers and site managers. These new positions are part of a significant investment into the company's expansion, talent acquisition strategy and future growth plans. This funding will also go towards the further development of Greenvolt Next's existing Waterford HQ, which is being increased by 2176 sq ft and will be equipped with the latest technologies. In turn, the expanded team will enable Greenvolt Next to deliver more large-scale projects, supporting developers and landowners in advancing renewable assets, while meeting the increasing demand for green energy solutions in the Irish and UK markets. As an organisation, Greenvolt Next supports businesses with their renewable energy transformations. It is responsible for some of Ireland's largest and most innovative renewable energy projects, including Sanofi Waterford solar farm. It also works with leading retailers including Lidl, Aldi and Tesco. Over the next three years, Greenvolt Next forecasts significant increase in revenue following accelerated market growth. This will be driven by the rising demand for sustainable and renewable energy, as well as requirements around CSRD reporting. Specifically, the organisation anticipates growing demand for solar panel installations and battery storage projects over the next 12 months. In 2025, Greenvolt Next reduced customer CO2 emissions by 30,000 tonnes, with a further reduction of 150,000 tonnes of CO2 projected over the next three years as demand for renewable energy soars. Owen Power, CEO of Greenvolt Next Ireland & UK, commented: "Our success to date has been driven by our ability to deliver the most reliable and cost-effective energy solutions to customers, underpinned by unmatched resources and expertise. Looking to the future, which will only see greater demand for such projects, we want to continue making a tangible impact for businesses and the environment. "That means investing in operations, growing the team and innovating for customers. As well as marking the next stage in our own journey, this will allow us to make renewable energy easy for more organisations across Ireland and the UK. In turn, they will not only be more sustainable but also more successful." Greenvolt Next operates within a dynamic and agile environment. As a growing international Group also focused on Utility-Scale and Sustainable Biomass projects, Greenvolt Next offers opportunities for professional development, enabling people to contribute to projects with tangible impact, supporting the advancement of the energy transition.

Bread. Eggs. Milk. Cheese. Butter. Baked beans.Not exactly the shopping list of an oligarch.Yet in recent years these everyday staples have become noticeably more expensive, and for many families the weekly shop now feels less like a routine errand and more like a minor financial event. In this episode of Mark and Pete, we look at the continuing rise in food prices and ask why so many people feel poorer even when politicians insist the economy is improving.The discussion begins with two humble items that have sat on British kitchen tables for generations: bread and eggs. Neither is remotely glamorous. Neither attracts much attention until the price starts climbing. Yet both have risen sharply since the cost-of-living crisis began, reflecting wider increases across the food supply chain.Along the way, Mark and Pete explore the economics of everyday life, the difference between inflation slowing and prices actually falling, and why ordinary people tend to judge the health of the economy by what happens at Tesco rather than what happens in Westminster.There is also a look at how rising food costs affect pensioners, young families and those on fixed incomes. After all, when staple foods become more expensive, there is nowhere to hide. Nobody can simply stop eating.The conversation wanders, as conversations tend to do, into memories of cheap fry-ups, beans on toast, packed lunches and the sort of meals that once stretched a household budget much further than they seem to today. Somewhere along the way we ask whether modern Britain has become strangely accustomed to things becoming steadily more expensive while pretending this is perfectly normal.As always, there is a Bible verse, some gentle theological reflection and a healthy dose of common sense.If you enjoy commentary on economics, current affairs, food prices, inflation, Christianity, British culture and the realities of everyday life, this episode is for you.#CostOfLiving #Inflation #FoodPrices #Bread #Eggs #Economics #MarkAndPete #CurrentAffairs #ChristianPodcast #BritishPodcast #CostOfLivingCrisis #FamilyBudget #FaithAndCulture #UKNews #PersonalFinance

Why a Dying Pastor Calls These His Best YearsTold he had two to three months to live in January, Allan Finnegan says these are the best years of his life — and means it.About this episodeAllan Finnegan is a Baptist minister from Liverpool, a stand-up comedian, and the author of I Didn't Ask For Any Of This — Church, Comedy and Cancer (Broad Place Publishing, 2026). On the 20th of January this year, he was told he had two to three months left. He's still here, still finishing things, and remarkably at peace.In this honest, often funny conversation Allan talks to Matt about the comedy course that quietly changed his preaching, the hour he spent crying in a Tesco's car park because he'd realised he had no friends outside church, the night his old mates told him they thought he'd been dead for thirty years, and what he's learning about finishing well now that the medicine has stopped working.Timestamps00:00 Welcome and Wednesday Night Finnegans01:23 The book — I Didn't Ask For Any Of This03:30 How a preaching class led Allan to a stand-up comedy course06:20 Why comedy techniques make for better sermons10:58 Certainty kills faith — giving people permission to doubt13:24 “I started a podcast instead of a prayer meeting”14:30 Becoming the minister he never wanted to be17:43 Trying to engineer being sacked18:32 Crying in a Tesco's car park in Litherland21:00 Walking back into a Bootle pub after thirty years away24:00 Why comedy saved his faith28:27 Comedy needed him less than he needed comedy32:50 Steve the nudist Baptist minister35:08 Britain's Got Talent — the four yeses38:30 The Zoom semi-final disaster and the £9 Primark shoes42:18 “It's only a freckle” — the cancer diagnosis50:00 Told he had two to three months on the 20th of January51:34 “I am truly in the hands of God now”52:38 The last sermon and the last comedy gig53:56 What Allan has learned about finishing well54:42 Philippians 1:6 as the verse that holds his life together1:00:00 Just keep turning upKey referencesPhilippians 1:6 — “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.” Allan's anchor verse since he came to faith aged 16.Jonah — Allan reaches for Jonah's story to make sense of his own.

Faith has to exist in the doubts and the uncertainty.” — Matt Edmundson“I always thought I was kind of the worst Christian, and I was just putting this veneer on to hide so no one would get through and see that I was really rubbish at following Jesus.” — Allan Finnegan“I started a podcast instead of a prayer meeting. Still got no idea how I got away with that.” — Allan Finnegan“I am truly in the hands of God now. I'm not receiving any medication to make me better or keep me better.

Max Halley joins The Go To from Max's Sandwich Shop in Finsbury Park — a place he describes as “a surprisingly serious restaurant masquerading as a silly sandwich shop.” From the ham, egg and chips sandwich Tesco tried to copy, to focaccia engineered for mayonnaise, juice and structural integrity, Max explains the thinking behind one of Britain's most joyful food institutions.In this episode, Max talks about his new book Cooking with Sausages, built on the revelation that sausages are really just pre-seasoned mince waiting to be liberated. He serves up a Morteau sausage, explains why he boils rather than grills, and takes us through sausage lasagne, Le Pig Mac, mortadella cheeseburgers, porchetta tacos and hangover macaroni designed to be eaten with a spoon.We also hear how Max nearly made a TV show called Chicken Lips and Salmon Legs before losing out to Taskmaster, why his first sandwich shop idea was called “Out Here on the Dance Floor,” and how an awkward licensing dispute became one of his greatest restaurant moments: a customer told to “get up and fuck off” to a round of applause.There are stories from Le Coq, Keira Knightley's alleged praise, Raymond Blanc being angry about missing tarragon, electric toothbrushes for sale outside Finsbury Park Tesco, cold lasagne in a croissant with honey, and a childhood memory of eating sheep on a spit in a French village. Expect sausage philosophy, sandwich engineering, strong opinions on cheese, and plenty of Max's “little pleasant splashes” of joy.Pre-Order Max's "Cooking With Sausages" Book Here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cooking-Sausages-Delicious-Everything-Chipolatas/dp/0241794692Watch and Subscribe To Our Youtube Videos Here - https://www.youtube.com/@gotofoodOrder Ben's Incredible Book - All You Can Eat - By Clicking Here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/All-You-Can-Eat-British/dp/1805221523Get 2 Months of Blinq For Free - With Code - GOTOBLINQ - https://blinqme.com/Order The Greatest Meat In The Country From HG Walter Here & Have Restaurant Quality Meals From Home - www.hgwalter.com Hosted on Acast.

The Oscar and Emmy award-winning actor is currently on the press tour for not one but two new projects: his TV series 'Bait', and a film adaptation of William Shakespeare's 'Hamlet'. But the tour wouldn't be complete without joining his former school mate and fellow school play actor Mehdi for a special LIVE taping of 'We're Not Kidding' in New York City. The two dig into Riz's new roles, the state of Muslim representation in popular culture, and making political art. They also take questions from the audience, but first they share a few choice anecdotes from their teenage years. The two also discuss: Neil Patrick Harris' recent ridiculous comments about making "apolitical" art.  Why "getting in the room" doesn't matter if you let the room change you. The lasting significance of his films 'Four Lions' and 'The Long Goodbye' given the UK far-right political scene.  And how Riz got banned… from UK grocery store Tesco's! They also take questions from the audience about why some Muslim entertainers have stayed silent on Gaza, the best ways to resist fascism, the power of political storytelling, and whether Riz's aunties call him up to chastise him about some of his.. erm… spicier on-camera scenes.

A stolen bag. Nothing remarkable about that, you'd think. The sort of petty, forgettable crime that barely troubles the police blotter. And yet, tucked inside, almost absurdly, was something else entirely: a Fabergé piece. Not costume jewellery, not a trinket from a seaside shop, but a genuine object from the world of imperial Russia, the kind of thing once handled by tsars and now quietly commanding five or six figures at auction.It's the contrast that does it. A Tesco-bag sort of crime colliding with the rarefied air of priceless craftsmanship. Fabergé, after all, produced only around fifty imperial eggs, of which fewer than that still survive. Even the smaller pieces, pendants and miniatures, carry a weight of history far beyond their size. Gold, enamel, gemstones, yes, but more than that, a sense that this object was made to matter. And yet here it is, misplaced, mishandled, almost laughed at by circumstance.Which, if we're honest, feels uncomfortably familiar. Human beings have a peculiar talent for missing the point of things. We insure the trivial, misplace the significant, and occasionally carry something extraordinary without the faintest idea of what it is. The story lands not because of the crime, but because of the recognition. Value is often hidden in plain sight, and we are not always the sharpest judges of it.There is a line in Matthew's Gospel about a merchant who finds a pearl of great price and, recognising it, sells everything to obtain it. No hesitation, no confusion. Just clarity. One suspects that if such a pearl turned up today, it might spend a week in a gym bag before anyone noticed. And that, really, is the story.

The result is an organic, unscripted snapshot of what the conversational AI community is actually thinking about right now.Topics spiral from enterprise AI adoption and the talent crunch, through agentic banking and agent metrics, to some surprisingly personal territory, including AI for mental health support, cardiac research and simplifying the mundane parts of everyday life.Chapters00:00 Intro02:24 Chris Miles, Group Product Lead - Chatbots & AI at Lebara03:12 Kellin Sjoerds, AI Engineer at Essent & Willeke van de Wetering, AI Engineer at Essent04:39 Andrew Lavis, Chatbot Analyst at Virgin Money05:08 Mathias Fanschek, Head Retail Strategy & Digital Transformation at Raiffeisen Bank International AG06:12 Andrei Spiridon, Head Retail Strategy & Business Transformation at Raiffeisen Conversational AI Lab08:20 Alan Nichol, CTO at RASA09:44 Adrian Matei, AI Product Manager at Jaja Finance11:00 Nikoletta Ventoura, Senior AI Conversation Designer at Tesco11:37 Maria Guermonprez, CX and Product Manager at Spix Industry12:19 Damien Bird, Cloud Solution Architect at Microsoft13:12 Gabriele Iuculano, Senior Test Platform Engineer, Schindler Group & Salvatore Raieli, Senior Data Scientist at Oncodesign14:53 Jared Browne, Group Head of AI Governance & Privacy at Fexco15:32 Laura Brady, GTM at ElevenLabs16:20 Laura Ball, Global AI CX GTM and Sales Lead at Zoom16:50 Sabrina Brunner, Technical Lead at Allianz Direct18:10 Lorraine Burrell, Conversation Design Lead at Lloyds Banking Group19:00 Jana Richter, Executive VP AI and Innovation at NFON AG19:44 Daniel Orenes Ferrandez, Senior Manager - Customer Experience at Uber21:06 Guillaume Blaquiere, Group Data Architect at Carrefour21:42 Laura Macleod, Business Applications, Centre of Excellence Lead at Virgin Money21:57 Kane's closing thoughtsShow notesFind out more about The European Chatbot & Conversational AI Summit: https://theeuropeanchatbot.comFollow Kane on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kanesimmsTake our updated AI Maturity Assessment: https://vuxworld.typeform.com/to/a26bf9Rr?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=audioSubscribe to VUX World: https://vuxworld.typeform.com/to/Qlo5aaeWSubscribe to The AI Ultimatum Substack: https://open.substack.com/pub/kanesimms Hosted on Acast.

We talk with Craig about how he leaves university, learns the fundamentals of margin and negotiation in meat trading, and turns a steam-cooked chicken discovery into GSN.

With a career spanning brand management at P&G and Danone, to 9 years at Amazon building out retail media globally, and now leading retail media at Tesco, Florian Clemens is a human representation of all sides of omnichannel marketing and consumer experience. He brings this deep perspective and insightful data to a rollicking conversation about how brands and retailers have ever better opportunities to drive incrementality. It's as simple, and as hard, as putting each shopper in control and being their support system for what they are trying to get done.

This week, I'm joined by Henry Firth & Ian Theasby, the founders of BOSH!, to explore how an audience-first approach helped them build one of the most recognisable plant-based consumer brands in the UK. For founders scaling challenger brands, this is an incredible lesson in brand growth through content & community first. Long before their recent Tesco launch with their delish PIZZA, BOSH! had already spent years building attention, trust and demand through daily recipe content, bestselling cookbooks and a clear mission to put more plants on plates.What makes this conversation especially useful is that Henry and Ian did not stumble into this model by accident. They set out to build a food brand, but chose to do it the lean way: validating demand, learning from audience behaviour and evolving from videos to cookbooks, licensing and then fully controlled product ranges. We talk about how they used views, comments, polls and first-principles thinking to shape products, why they moved away from licensing, what it took to launch into Tesco in just nine months, and what all of this means for founders who want to think more like media companies and less like traditional CPG brands.What You'll Learn- How BOSH! built an audience before building a food brand- Why a media-first strategy can reduce risk for scaling consumer brands- How social content, polls and engagement can inform product development- Why Henry and Ian moved from licensing to building their own supply chain- What founders can learn from BOSH!'s rapid Tesco launch and lean operating modelKey Topics Discussed- Building one of the world's biggest plant-based video channels- Using The Lean Startup mindset to validate product-market fit- The shift in plant-based eating from niche to mainstream- Why BOSH! focused on taste first, then health, then sustainability- Using audience insights, comments and polls to shape NPD- Moving from content to cookbooks, TV and supermarket shelves- Why licensing was useful, but ultimately too limiting- Building an in-house team and supply chain for greater control- Choosing product categories like meals, pizza and curry from first principles- Launching into Tesco and trading ahead of forecast- Co-founder dynamics, leadership and role splitting- AI, learning mode and operating leaner as a modern brand teamUSEFUL LINKSConnect with Henry on LinkedIn Connect with Ian on LinkedIn BOSH!

In this episode, we welcome Anthony Britain, a commodity risk management expert with experience at Tesco, Unilever, and Swiss retail group Migros. Anthony shares what it was really like managing Unilever's vegetable oils book during the Ukraine invasion and picking up the cocoa portfolio just as prices hit historic highs. We discuss why private label is an interesting space for commodity risk in retail, how retailers are building out sophisticated trading teams, and what it takes to rise in this industry.
