An incredible podcast series that breaks down messy, complicated concepts into simple, engaging yet highly relevant themes. I devour these podcasts. Can’t wait for future episodes!
Great guests, good questions and very helpful as a new entrant to FMCG.
There are many transferable insights from Food and CPG for me.
I’m especially interested in the challenger brand narrative, taking on the big corporates and how to play a different game to them to win in category.
