Podcasts about Uptons

In 2006, young entrepreneur, Daniel Staackmann, took out a home equity line of credit and started Upton's Naturals in his hometown of Chicago. He placed his money on seitan and in his 17 years of business, that gamble has clearly paid off. Upton's Naturals is the #1 selling brand of seitan in the United States and their products are sold in thousands of stores throughout the United States and beyond. Dan, a 30-year ethical vegan, prides himself on being the sole proprietor of his company and his slow growth model has allowed him to avoid so many of the landmines and pitfalls of the food industry as a whole. Today, he and Rip share the many intricacies of running a food line from labeling, brand name, sourcing ingredients, getting placement on shelves, growth strategies, and so much more. It's an insightful peek behind the curtain on the food industry and the amount of work and passion it takes to bring delicious food from concept to shelves everywhere! Rip and Dan discuss:The humble (and personal) beginnings of Upton's Naturals in 2006 and Dan's “Do It Yourself” approach to entrepreneurshipHow he came up with the unique company nameWhy he chose seitan as his main product?His biggest wins as a young entrepreneurHow his “slow growth” model has benefitted his business and his personalityThe nutritional value of meat alternatives and why Upton's branched out into soups, jackfruit, and fava as brand extensionsHow remaining sole proprietor has allowed him to maintain control and avoid the "minefields" of the food industry.His vision for the future of Uptons and other expansionsVisit PLANTSTRONG Foods and stock up on all of our latest products:https://plantstrongfoods.com/ Follow PLANTSTRONG on Facebook for tips, recipes, and the chance to see Rip live each weekhttps://www.facebook.com/GoPlantstrong PLANTSTRONG Instagram - Check us out and share your favorite PLANTSTRONG products and why you love it!

A World Odyssey - the Epic Voyage of the Sand Ship Discovery Loren and Patty Upton drove one American-made vehicle, a 1966 CJ-5 Jeep, around the world on a north/south course from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, to Punta Arenas, Chile, including the first ALL LAND crossing of the notorious Darien Gap of Panama and Colombia by motor vehicle that put the Uptons in the 1992 Guinness Book of Records. The Darien was 741 days, 125 miles of no roads, only dense jungles, tortuous rivers, rugged mountains, and swamps.

What an interesting pair! Founder of Upton's Naturals, Daniel Staackmann, and V.P., Nicole Sopko, have each been vegan for over twenty years.  In addition, Upton's Naturals doesn't have any outside investors and never has. Further, Upton's Naturals doubled its business 2017 over 2016 and it is looking like it will be the same for 2018. These two unassuming veterans discuss their work lobbying in DC with the Plant-based Food Association, their new line of Asian meal kits available in Whole Foods nationwide this August and how they came to work with jackfruit.   And, of course, we talk seitan and Upton's Breakroom!

When you think of teenage punk kids in the ’90s, you might not think of delicious plant-based meat alternatives that can be found at your local grocery store. Dan and Nicole will make you think otherwise. They’re responsible for Upton’s Naturals, the makers of packaged seitan and jackfruit that have been changing the game since 2005. Nicole is also the owner of two yoga centers and a founding board member of the Plant Based Food Association. Anyone who has dreams of starting a business will no doubt be inspired by their story and entertained along the way.
