I was excited to find another produce industry focused podcast but was disappointed when I listened to this one. The content lacks valuable insight and education. It seems like the hosts are trying too hard and want to talk just for the sake of talking. Sadly disappointed.
I just started in the produce and supply chain industry last year and have been listening to The Produce Industry Podcast with Dan The Produce Man Avakian. I was turned on to the Fresh Cred through a trade event, but it seems these are old dogs producing old tricks. As Gen Z, I am looking for more people my age with expertise and interesting information.
I’ve been in the industry for 20 years and just had a listen to the Fresh Cred Podcast. It seems that these gentleman are out of touch with reality of the 21st century- I would like to hear them interview people that were not on every other podcast in our industry. I’ll stick around for another month, but without innovation and creativity these guys bore me.
A couple interesting episodes and guests.
Awesome to listen to!
