I thoroughly enjoyed being interviewed by Roberta with my business partner. Being interviewed by someone so knowledgeable was an invaluable experience. I look forward to learning from other entrepreneurs and experts she chooses to engage on Shelftalks!
Roberta does a great job of digging into each Founder’s journey to get the scoop and ensure the listener takes away value and key learners from each episodes! Also, I enjoy the wide array of product categories covered on the show. Definitely worth a listen!
All value and no fluff. Highly recommended!!
As a new skincare brand founder - this podcast is on point given the evolving beauty landscape and beauty industry. It’s in-depth and the guests are very transparent
Listening to this podcast and the information about retail gives me a 360 view!
It gives me insight on the complex dynamics that buyers face and their expectations and the retailer terms and pricing strategies that I may not have considered. This is very informative and helpful! I'm going to share this with my colleagues!
Great work! Thank you for creating this resource!
