For consumer products, packaging plays a huge role in your ability to raise money and get onto shelves. Investors and retailers are looking for traction, so you need to have packaging buttoned up before you even approach them.  But here's the challenge: great packaging is expensive, and cheap packaging is very easy to spot and can tank your marketability. Every founder wants their product to be the “best dressed” without breaking the bank, but how do you actually achieve this?  From a packaging perspective, there are a few key things you can do to make sure your product looks good, catches the eye, and stands out on shelves. From branding to form factor, there are plenty of cost-saving strategies that don't compromise on quality.  How can we use limited time offers to get some initial attention, buzz and traction? How unique should our packaging be?  In this episode, I'm joined by packaging expert and President of Global Enterprise at AE Global, Elizabeth Corbett. She shares how CPG founders can set themselves up for success from a packaging perspective.  Topics Covered; How to get your packaging dialed in before approaching investors How to make your packaging sustainable without breaking the bank Why startups should leverage limited time offers and collabs Groups/events that startup founders should join/attend    Guest Bio Elizabeth Corbett is a CPG packaging expert with 25 years of experience, startup mentor/advisor and President of Global Enterprise at AE Global.

Despite the bio I'm about to share, I think Ray Isle is one of the least pretentious people in the wine world today. He grew up in Houston, and he learned to see wine as an adventure, an adventure that's taken him all around the world. Ray is the longtime executive wine editor for Food & Wine as well as the wine and spirits editor for Travel + Leisure. He writes Food & Wine's monthly “What to Drink Next” column as well as regular feature articles for both magazines. His writing has also appeared in Departures, Wine & Spirits, Time, The Washington Post, and many other publications, and he's been nominated three times for a James Beard Award. His new book is The World in a Wine Glass: The Insider's Guide to Artisanal, Sustainable, Extraordinary Wines to Drink Now.  

On their recent earnings call discussing Constellation Brands' fiscal year '24, leaders illustrated a story of financial stability, strategic innovation, and growth. CEO Bill Newlands kicked off the dialogue with stakeholders, detailing the company's plan for the Wine & Spirits division - "We did not consider divestments as part of our evaluation. We believe in the long-term potential of our portfolio, aiming to improve execution and performance." Based on performance metrics, the company seems on a stable and effective growth path. A major success story for fiscal '24 was the Beer Business's ability to gain market share, increase net sales, and elevate operating income. In the face of market challenges, the Wine & Spirits division displayed significant potential and resilience. A critical component of Constellation Brands' healthy fiscal score and market position is its successful Beer Business. Modelo Especial and Corona Extra's performance highlights the company's premiumization, innovation, and adaptiveness. Modelo Especial leading the U.S. market in dollar sales offers clear evidence of effective market strategy and execution. Constellation Brands has successfully adapted to key consumer trends, favoring premium, curious flavors, and health-conscious products. With products like Modelo Especial and Corona Non-Alcoholic in their lineup, the company continues to meet changing consumer tastes head-on. As we look forward, Constellation Brands plans to fuel its growth, particularly in its Beer Business, with expansion plans, new product launches, and pack size innovations. The Wine & Spirits division isn't far off, with a keen focus on enhancing performance and execution. As Newlands shared in their financial forecast during the earnings call, "We expect non-controlling interest to be around $35 million with approximately 183 million anticipated weighted average diluted shares outstanding for fiscal '25, factoring in share repurchase activity." An insight hinting at their strategic handle on capital allocation, an eye for suitable acquisitions, and shareholder returns. In summary, while Constellation Brands appears to have a well-devised strategy to meet the demands of a volatile market, continuous growth will require diligent attention towards retaining consumers, innovating, and strategic investments. The company's sustainability and profitability are tied to these pivotal factors. Despite their recent successes, substantial challenges lie ahead in maintaining growth amidst dynamic market changes.

In this Podcast, Sid Patel, CEO of Beverage Trade Network, takes you on a behind-the-scenes journey into the business of managing Mainstreet Wines & Spirits. He is in a conversation with the store's wine director, Nancy Sabatini, where they chat on a range of topics, from inventory management to marketing strategies. Nancy discusses all aspects of the business and provides insights into what it takes to succeed in this industry. Whether you're a current wine & spirits store owner looking to increase profits or someone interested in opening a store, this video is a must-watch. ***About Nancy Sabatini*** She is passionate about all things connected with wine. Nancy has been called a "wine geek," and rightfully so! Agreeing with Matt Kramer from Wine Spectator... "Though we may not necessarily think of it this way, a really good wine retailer is actually as much a 'sommelier' as anyone who glides to your table with a wine list in hand. Now, by saying a really good retailer I'm not talking about just anyone who happens to sell wine. You want, well, a geek. Somebody who's just a little nuts about wine, who regularly offers wines that you've never heard of or tried." This is the model she has instilled in every one of her wine positions.

Wholesalers and distributors in the Wine and Spirits industry are a critical part of the supply chain. They are responsible for connecting suppliers with a wider audience of customers. As a wholesaler and distributor, one is operating with a massive amount of SKUs, which comes with its own set of challenges in running a business at such a scale. In this exciting Podcast of Inside The Drinks Business, Sid Patel takes you on a tour of Maverick Wine Company, where he chats with the Director of Sales & Portfolio Manager, Ian Louisignau. Ian lays out their role in the wine and spirits world, how they operate, what kind of suppliers they are looking for, and how suppliers can partner with them.

The following episode is an Encore Presentation of an interview with author Kathleen Guthrie Woods about her book 'The Mother of All Dilemmas: Dreams of Motherhood and the Internship that changed everything' that originally aired on September 15, 2022.  Her book just made the Katie Couric Media list of "37-Life-Changing Books You won't Be able to Put Down" and to celebrate that endorsement, I'm sharing her episode with you once again. Kathleen Guthrie Woods is a Bay Area, award winning author, freelance copywriter and editor.  For over 22 years, she's been the chief cook and bottlewasher of her own company, ‘Kathleen Ink' from which she provides freelance writing and copy editing for Disney/Buena Vista/Miramax, the Tavis Smiley Group, and Noise 13; a San Francisco branding and design agency.  She's also penned for San Francisco Attorney Magazine and brands within the Lifestyle, Food and Beverage, and Wine & Spirits spaces. For eight years Kathleen wrote a weekly column for LifeWithoutBaby.com, a website dedicated to giving a voice to women who are childfree by chance, choice, or circumstance.  In 2013, she co-authored the book ‘Life Without Baby: Holiday Companion, a compilation of humorous, healing and thought-provoking posts designed to help other childless women get through the holidays while getting closer to making peace with being childfree. In 2018, Kathleen launched her own blog, 52 Nudges, in which she takes what she refers to as, weekly “risks”, to push her out of her sometimes-too-comfortable nest. But perhaps her most poignant work to dat, is her second book 'The Mother of All Dilemmas: Dreams of Motherhood and the Internship that changed everything', a memoir about finding her worth in the world as a childless woman by choice;  which was named as One of Aspire Magazine‘s “Top 10 Inspiring Books” as well as a Finalist in the peer led, Wishing Shelf Book, Awards.

For eight years Kathleen wrote a weekly column for LifeWithoutBaby.com, a website dedicated to giving a voice to women who are childfree by chance, choice, or circumstance.  In 2013, she co-authored the book ‘Life Without Baby: Holiday Companion, a compilation of humorous, healing and thought-provoking posts designed to help other childless women get through the holidays while getting closer to making peace with being childfree. In 2018, Kathleen launched her own blog, 52 Nudges, in which she takes what she refers to as, weekly “risks”, to push her out of her sometimes-too-comfortable nest.

When Angee Linsey was in graduate school, she had a great idea for a book. The working title was "Cool Jobs People THINK They Want." That book never got written, but the idea came back to her recently as she was looking at how to make season 2 of Dare to be Deliberate interesting and insightful to listeners. After a little hiatus during 2022, Angee is back and is talking to communicators doing those jobs in highly coveted industries and organizations. She'll be speaking with people in industries including Wine & Spirits, Aerospace, Travel & Tourism and so much more. In this episode, she kicks off the new season with a little back story and what to expect in the months ahead.
