Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Turmeric Co- Thomas Hal Robson-Kanu on injury, instincts and scaling with purpose
Q: How did the AG Barr deal shape the business going forward?
It provided capital and strategic support from a family-owned group while preserving the brand's health-focused mission and enabling accelerated international expansion.
The Turmeric Co- Thomas Hal Robson-Kanu on injury, instincts and scaling with purpose
Q: Why did you decide to start manufacturing in-house rather than relying on existing juice makers?
Because clean, fresh, bioavailable ingredients couldn't be reliably produced by standard manufacturers, they built a bespoke, in-house process to preserve nutrients and control quality at scale.
The Turmeric Co- Thomas Hal Robson-Kanu on injury, instincts and scaling with purpose
Q: What was the turning point that transformed a personal remedy into a commercial product?
A decade of trial and error, combined with a desire to move beyond temporary relief, led to formalizing the blend into a product when the family recognized a real consumer need for functional, natural hydration and pain relief.
Bero's John Herman on Building with Tom Holland, Betting on the UK & the Shandy That Shouldn't Have Worked
Q: What makes Tom Holland's involvement authentic rather than a celebrity-led branding approach?
Tom's involvement is hands-on and brand-aware rather than a contractual celebrity boost; the brand needed strong beer quality and operational capability first, with Tom contributing real marketing and brand intuition rather than performing for appearances alone.
Bero's John Herman on Building with Tom Holland, Betting on the UK & the Shandy That Shouldn't Have Worked
Q: How did the Shandy idea come about and why did you decide to pursue it despite potential risks?
Shandy emerged from a conversation with Tom and his mom's suggestion, and we believed a lemonade/grapefruit elderflower variant could widen the brand's appeal beyond the traditionally masculine beer space, making it attractive to women as well as men while expanding our product family.
