Elliot is a master in the CPG space and shows how much he really cares about founders' success with each breath. He is kind, smart and gives so many pearls of wisdom! I have subscribed and each episode carries the same weight. SO impressed.

If you’re an early stage natural food/bev company, this is the podcast for you.

The only drawback is that older podcasts aren’t yet available.
