This isn't so sweet. Sorbet sold at chain grocers like Target and Wegmans has been recalled due to an undeclared allergen present in the dessert.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Thursday, she's the Big Apple's youngest straphanger! Good Samaritans helped a 25-year-old expectant mom deliver a baby girl on board a southbound W train in Manhattan, according to officials and social media videos. President Trump's newly installed attorney general, Pam Bondi, went after New York leaders over the state's immigration policies, announcing a lawsuit in the latest effort by the Republican administration to carry out the president's hardline immigration campaign pledges.And in Washington, in the weeks since Donald Trump returned to office, Democrats and legal scholars have warned that he's provoking a constitutional crisis by trying to expand his power and ignore laws that stand in his way. Recently, the White House had a new response to that. It's not the president who is causing the problem, said press secretary Karoline Leavitt, it's the judges who are blocking some of his agenda by saying it's illegal.
Buckle up, because Amy Gittelman is back, and this episode is one for the ages. A fellow SUNY Binghamton (yes, we still call it that) alum, Amy joins me for a hilarious and brutally honest deep dive into the absurdities of healthcare, insurance fuckery, and the general nonsense that plagues the system. From dodging medical debt landmines to battling insurance companies that seem hellbent on denying care, we go all in.But wait—there's more! We reminisce about our Binghamton days, debate the superiority of Wegmans over every downstate grocery store, and expose the dark art of healthcare billing fraud (spoiler: it's as bad as you think). Amy, a seasoned healthcare badass, drops wisdom bombs on why the industry is broken, what we can do about it, and why she's basically a mix of Miranda Priestly, Leslie Knope, and Dolly freakin' Parton.If you've ever yelled at your insurance company, fought a medical bill, or just wanted to flip a table over the state of American healthcare, this episode is for you.RELATED LINKS:Amy Gittelman on LinkedInAmy's Odyssey Feature on PM360Amy's Profile on OncoDailyVeradigm Healthcare SolutionsFEEDBACK:Like this episode?

Twenty-five years ago, Mac Villarreal was navigating the high seas at the Olympic Games in Sydney. If all goes as planned, he'll soon be charting a new course, sailing into the sunset as a highly successful entrepreneur. Mac is the founder and CEO of I Eat My Greens, a refrigerated brand of chef-crafted, plant-based soups made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Launched in 2020, I Eat My Greens is known for its sophisticated yet approachable recipes, including Carrot Sweet Potato and Turmeric and Zucchini Cilantro & Cauliflower. The products are packaged in 20 oz. clear pouches with a screwcap closure and distributed nationally, including at Sprouts and Wegmans. In the following interview, Mac takes us through his fascinating entrepreneurial journey, from his days as an Olympic sailor and transitioning into the fresh juice industry before ultimately founding his soup business. He discusses his brand's innovative packaging, how he overcame initial retailer pushback, creating products that align with modern food trends and his patient, yet ambitious growth strategy. Show notes: 0:25: Mac Villarreal, Founder & CEO, I Eat My Greens - Mac and Ray kick off the conversation by diving into the entrepreneur's victory in Naturally San Diego's Pitch Slam in 2021.

He then shares insights into the planning behind I Eat My Greens, detailing how he carefully crafted the brand identity. From selecting the perfect product flavors and ingredients to designing the packaging, Mac emphasizes how every element of the product was tailored to align with his vision.

Here's the latest CPG news happening right now on February 17th, 2025 including Tru Beverage Investment, Blackbird Acquisition, How Poppi's Super Bowl vending machine campaign spiraled out of controlAccording to Bevnet.Com, Functional drink Tru recently closed a $4.6 million funding round highlighted by further alignment with Polar Beverage who will now be handling manufacturing, distribution and warehousing for the brand.US-based vegan food brand Blackbird Foods has announced an acquisition by plant-based investor Ahimsa Companies.Blackbird Foods is well-known for its New York-style hand-tossed frozen pizzas, available US-wide at retailers such as Target, Sprouts, and Whole Foods. The brand also offers plant-based wings made from seitan, which can be found at The Fresh Market and Wegmans.Following the acquisition, Blackbird Foods plans to use Ahimsa's expertise to enhance its distribution and manufacturing capabilities.“We are eager to tap into Ahimsa's extensive knowledge to strengthen Blackbird's presence in the frozen aisle,” said Mike Pease, co-founder of Blackbird Foods. “With their support, we have ambitious plans for growth and exciting product innovations on the horizon.”This year, prebiotic soda brand Poppi ran its second consecutive Super Bowl ad featuring influencers like Jake Shane and Alix Earle. But it wasn't the creator campaign on the big screen that got people talking as much as the one online.Ahead of the game, Poppi sent enormous pink vending machines to 32 creators and “fans of the brand” in NFL team cities, as well as The Boot bar in New Orleans. Recipients began posting videos of the machines, and mayhem ensued: some consumers expressed anger at Poppi for sending free products to “rich people,” while others bemoaned the message it sent to fans of the brand and smaller creators. “When it gets too extravagant…it just feels very out of touch,” creator Isabella Lanter said in a TikTok video response to the campaign.All the while, fellow prebiotic soda brand Olipop, which did not run a Super Bowl ad, jumped on the opportunity to respond to comments, speculate on the cost of the vending machines, and even mail out Super Bowl-themed gifts. One comment from Olipop read, “For the record, those machines cost $25K each lol,” while a post on X said, “We don't have vending machines, but who wants a jersey!!”This week's CPG Vibes episode will cover two topics: Why CPG Brands Fail, and New Brands That Alex and Wade Love.

Nona Lim describes the sale of her eponymous brand as “accidental.” The way in which she positioned the company for success and an eventual exit, however, was anything but. Founded in 2014, Nona Lim Foods made a name for itself as a brand of better-for-you, easy-to-prepare Asian meals, including fresh noodles, broths and stir fry kits. Nona, who first joined us for an interview back in 2020, has long stressed the importance of product-market fit and a deep understanding of business fundamentals – two pillars that played a pivotal role in building a sustainable brand. Her focus and vision helped Nona Lim Foods achieve national distribution, securing shelf space in major retailers like Whole Foods, Target, Wegmans, and Kroger. In 2022, a serendipitous meeting led to the acquisition of Nona Lim Foods by DayDayCook, a food and content brand platform based in Hong Kong. The partnership was seen as a perfect fit, with DayDayCook's CEO highlighting their shared vision to bring delicious Asian dishes to the U.S., reimagined with clean ingredients for a modern, health-conscious audience. Nona continued to lead the brand as CEO until June of 2024. While the future of Nona Lim Foods is uncertain – its website is currently down and its social media has been inactive since July – Nona remains deeply engaged in the food and beverage industry as the chair of the board for the Specialty Food Association (SFA), which organizes the biannual Fancy Food Show. In this insightful conversation, Nona shares why founders should think intentionally about their "end goal," the importance of generating retail velocity without heavy marketing spend, and why having a well-organized data room is essential for raising funds or preparing for an exit. She also opens up about the emotional impact of selling a business that she built from the ground up. Show notes: 0:25: Nona Lim, Founder, Nona Lim Foods – On location in Las Vegas at the final edition of the Winter Fancy Food Show, Nona talks about the SFA's decision to rebrand and relocate the event and which booth expectedly drew crowds. Ray recalls her first appearance on Taste Radio in which she emphasized the power of saying "no" to prioritize the right opportunities, why she encourages founders to consider why they are building their businesses and why great packaging only works under certain conditions. Nona also discusses how she met and developed a good rapport with the CEO of her brand's eventual acquirer, the shifting dynamics of fundraising post-COVID and why she references Amy's Kitchen when giving advice to early-stage entrepreneurs.

We have a great show planned for our listeners today, we will share a Revolutionary all-natural approach to upper respiratory and oral care health. We shared about fluoride in the water supply, ways to support oral care, and ended with respiratory tips for the cold months ahead.Our guest today is our good friend, Nathan Jones. It has been over 2 decades now (2000) since he founded Xlear, Inc., the xylitol-product based company whose revolutionary all-natural approach to upper respiratory and oral health has improved the quality of life for people around the globe.Most allergens enter the body through the nose, although the mouth and eyes are also common entry points. Keeping these gateways to the body clean is of utmost importance during allergy season if you want to reduce symptoms and not rely on antihistamines. There are other products out there, such as Xlear Nasal Spray with xylitol, which can help keep the nasal passage clean and clear of seasonal allergies, all without the negative side effects that antihistamines can cause. The addition of xylitol allows Xlear to be hypertonic, without causing the uncomfortable burning sensation that accompanies traditional saline nasal sprays. This hypertonicity means that more moisture is being pulled into the nose to help wash out contaminants and ensure the nose and sinuses are hydratedIf you're on the lookout for an antihistamine-free remedy to your allergies this season, give Xlear a try.Xlear Nasal Products are available at Walgreens, CVS, Vitamin Shoppe, Rite Aid, Target, Kroger, Publix, Sprouts, Natural Grocers and most natural products retailers nationwide. They can also be purchased online, including on Amazon.Spry Dental Products are available at Wegmans, Vitamin Shoppe, Sprouts Farmers Markets, Natural Grocers, and most all Natural market retailers. They can also be purchased online, including on Amazon.Learn more about Xylitol 101Check out Xlear's NEW online store

Sugaring connects us to the trees around us, and produces a delicious, sweet product for our pancakes, salad dressings and marinades. But it can also cause its fair share of headaches — like when you have to battle rugged terrain, bad weather and plundering woodland creatures to get that sap you want so much.Peter Gregg knows a thing or two about the highs and lows of sugaring. In his recently published memoir, "The Sugar Rush," Gregg tells the story of how he and his longtime best friend fell in love with sugaring. Gregg runs a 1,000-tap sugaring operation in Rupert and is also the longtime publisher of "The Maple News," the largest trade magazine for the maple syrup industry in the US and Canada.Then: Over the past four decades Vermont Creamery has grown from a small artisan dairy company based in Websterville to a must-have brand for retailers like Wegmans and Whole Foods. This year, it celebrates its 40th anniversary. The company's co-founder, Allison Hooper, joins Vermont Edition to mark the milestone.
Renee is the Founder & CEO of Amazi Foods, a mindful tropical-fruit food company that works directly with small businesses and farmers groups in Uganda to make these delicious snacks that are bringing some much-needed excitement into the dried fruit category. Amazi originated largely from Renee's college trip to Uganda where she completed her thesis research. She noticed that there were many delicious local organic fruits - something that wasn't prevalent in the states. However, the local markets had very limited access outside Uganda. The supply chains were broken. Now, Renee is dedicated to building a better supply chain and supporting economic development in Uganda. Fast forward a few more years, Amazi has sourced from over 300 farmers in Uganda with more than half being women, and is in top retailers like Amazon, Wegmans and soon to be Whole Foods Market. Renee earned her Bachelors degree in Economics and the College of Social Studies from Wesleyan University. A fun fact: on the side, Renee has also been a fitness guru for most of her life – working as a lead strength trainer and yoga teacher. -----Past guests include Margaret Wishingrad, Kara Goldin, Brandi Chastain, Julie Foudy, Ann Miura Ko, Linda Avey, Sarah Leary, Becky Sauerbrunn and many more.Follow us on Instagram | LinkedIn | YoutubeCheck out the She Leads website-----In Today's Episode with Renee Dunn We Discuss:1.

For this episode of Making the switch, we visited the Cummins Jamestown, New York engine plant where the X15N natural gas engine is built. Plant manager Shawn Hricko talks about the diesel-like performance of the industry's first 15-liter natural gas engine which is lighter than the current 12-liter and features up to 10% better fuel economy. Industry analysts estimate that renewable natural gas (RNG) could grow to power one in five heavy-duty trucks in the U.S. over the next decade. UPS, Frito-Lay, Wegmans and other fleets count on RNG to reduce emissions and cut fuel costs. With looming regulations that dramatically restrict nitrogen oxide emissions, trucking fleet managers and executives need to understand the role RNG can play in meeting the new rules. To help unpack the RNG story and assist fleets in making informed decisions about switching from diesel to RNG, we talked with stakeholders throughout the natural gas ecosystem. Following this episode on Cummins, future episodes will feature Kenworth, Hexagon Agility, Clean Energy, Opal Fuels and Paper Transport covering the business case, viability and advantages of RNG for heavy-duty trucks. Make the switch!

On today's quirky show, I welcome Jen "Jay" Palumbo, an epic human Energizer Bunny who takes a licking and keeps on ticking. Jen is a freelance writer, Forbes contributor, and women's health advocate, specifically for reproductive rights. In a spirited coincidence, it turns out we both went to the same college at the same time, were both Theater people, and have dozens of friends in common. We are ships in the night for sure. As fellow parents of IVF children, we bonded over the current state of the state. And as fellow Binghamton graduates, we bonded over Wegmans, being Theater nerds, and 1990s dorm life in the southern tier. Jen is a true Long Island: loud and proud. Let the hilarity, dark humor, and GenX Therapy begin. Enjoy the show.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jocko Willink admits that he made mistakes during his time in the military. The retired Navy SEAL lieutenant commander, author and entrepreneur says that, in some cases, his errors led to circumstances in which “things went terribly wrong.” Certainly, it's difficult to compare the experiences of leading soldiers on the battlefield and running a CPG company. But Jocko, who is the founder of better-for-you beverage and supplement brand Jocko Fuel, believes that in any situation when mistakes occur, it's important for the person in charge to take ownership, figure out a solution and find a way to make sure the problem doesn't happen again. That perspective is a core tenet of Jocko's leadership style, which guides Jocko Fuel. Born as Jocko Tea in 2018, the brand has evolved into a CPG platform that markets several product lines, including energy drinks, protein shakes, greens powder and hydration beverages. Jocko Fuel has a nationwide retail footprint and is carried at grocery chains H-E-B, Meijer and Wegmans along with GNC, The Vitamin Shoppe and 7-Eleven. We sat down with Jocko for a conversation about the development of Jocko Fuel, including why having a “military mindset” means more than you might think and how his personality and beliefs are embedded into every aspect of the brand. He also talks about empowering his team to navigate the complexities of running a modern consumer brand and its alignment with private equity firm Goode Partners, which invested $30 million in Jocko Fuel in 2022. Show notes: 0:35: Interview: Jocko Willink, Founder, Jocko Fuel – Jocko explains his daily reading habit, why he wakes at 4:30 AM each morning and how that routine has benefited him as a soldier and entrepreneur. He also explains how his military experience taught him to approach every situation with an open mind and to listen to feedback, the reason that Jocko Fuel energy drinks contain less caffeine than competing products, and why he isn't managing the brand's retail strategy. Jocko also explains what he means by “extreme ownership,” why he believes that the buck always stops with him, his perspective on competition, the influence of company investors on management decisions,his role in the promotion of Jocko Fuel, and the brand's pricing strategy.

To learn more about Pastor Devlin and Windows & Orphans visit: https://www.widowsandorphans.info/pastor-william-devlin 5:15pm- While leaving a New York City court on Monday, former President Donald Trump told reporters it is a “scam trial” and the politicized charges amount to “election interference.” He also revealed that the judge will not allow him to skip part of the trial to attend his son's high school graduation. Trump has been indicted for attempting to conceal payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleges that the payment concealment amounted to falsified business records which influenced the 2016 election. 5:35pm- Rich had an interesting morning—hauling 1,000 pounds of sand, and then walking around Wegmans with unicorn balloons. 5:40pm- Abbie VanSickle of The New York Times reports: “The Supreme Court on Monday temporarily allowed a ban to take effect in Idaho on gender-affirming treatment for minors, a signal that at least some justices appear comfortable with wading into another front in the culture wars. In siding with state officials who had asked the court to lift a block on the law, the justices were split, with a majority of the conservative justices voting to enforce the ban over the objections of the three liberal justices. The justices also specified that their decision would remain in place until the appeals process had ended.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/15/us/politics/supreme-court-idaho-transgender.html 5:50- What's the best fast-food chain in America?

Possible developments also came up during the meeting with Blinken, and they (the US) conveyed to Iran through us that this reaction must be within certain limits,' the source said.” Did the Biden Administration negotiate the severity of the attack against Israel?

Through a seemingly innocuous change to the definition of ‘electronic service communications provider,' the bill vastly expands the universe of U.S. businesses that can be conscripted to aid the government in conducting surveillance. Under current law, the government can compel companies that have direct access to communications, such as phone, email, and text messaging service providers, to assist in Section 702 surveillance by turning over the communications of Section 702 targets. Under Section 504 of the House intelligence committee's bill, any entity that has access to *equipment* on which communications may be transmitted or stored, such as an ordinary router, is fair game. What does that mean in practice? It's simple…Hotels, libraries, coffee shops, and other places that offer wifi to their customers could be forced to serve as surrogate spies. They could be required to configure their systems to ensure that they can provide the government access to entire streams of communications.” You can read her full statement on X: https://twitter.com/LizaGoitein/status/1734249938333167889 6:15pm- While appearing on MSNBC, Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) said that if it hadn't been for a Russian disinformation campaign during the 2016 election cycle, Hillary Clinton would have defeated Donald Trump. 6:40pm- The Washington Post reports: “The FBI has opened a criminal investigation focusing on the massive container ship that brought down the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore last month—a probe that will look at least in part at whether the crew left the port knowing the vessel had serious system problems.” You can read the full report from Katie Mettler, Devlin Barrett, Danny Nguyen, and Peter Hermann here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/04/15/balitmore-key-bridge-criminal-investigation/
