  • 35. The 3 Reasons Why Food Entrepreneurs Are Succeeding
    Apr 20 2020
    In this Season 2. wrap-up episode, I share the 3 reasons why and how Food Entrepreneurs, especially those from Small and Medium Sized Businesses, are succeeding in an unprecedented way versus traditional Big Food companies.
    Over the last 7 years, the most innovative and high growth products are actually coming from Food Entrepreneurs in start-up and scale-up businesses. These products account for less that 3% of sales in the market but are driving more than 30% of category growth. Some industry insiders are predicting that this is a precursor for the demise of traditional mainstream brands altogether.
    These 3 factors for success are evident in the food businesses featured in our Season 2. episodes, as they demonstrate;
    1. Product & Brand Authenticity
    2. Consumer Closeness
    3. Product Discovery

    A huge thank you to all our Season 2. podcast guests for sharing their inspiring business stories and expertise with us, and to our long-term sponsor of the Eat Drink Innovate podcast, the Food Innovation Centre at Monash.

  • 34. Richard, Dan & Oscar, Young Henrys
    Mar 23 2020
    Richard Adamson, Oscar McMahon and Dan Hampton are the co-founders and directors of Young Henrys. Young Henrys is a group of brewers, distillers, musicians and artists, united in their passion for making exceptionally good beer, cider and spirits with a deep commitment to supporting their local community.
    In this episode, you’ll hear about a meeting of minds in 2012, with Richard’s experience in brewing, and Oscar’s hospitality know-how, prompting them to do more than just talk about their love of music and beer, and actually start their own independent brewery. While Dan’s progression from policeman to beer aficionado, lead him to Young Henrys within months of its start-up, and prompted him to get off a bar stool and join the team.
    In the Aftertaste section, I think back on my chat with Richard, Oscar and Dan of Young Henrys and discuss the importance of building a community with your food and beverage business.
    You can learn more about and connect with the Young Henrys crew at:https://younghenrys.comhttps://www.facebook.com/younghenrysbrewing/https://www.instagram.com/younghenrys/

  • 33. Sam McFarlane, Sam Says
    Mar 9 2020
    Sam McFarlane owns and operates a social media and content management agency called Sam Says, which creates stand out social and online content for small and medium businesses and solopreneurs. Her philosophy is that no matter what business you’re in, if you're not social online, you’re invisible, because when you’re amazing at what you do, why wouldn’t you want the world to see it?
    In this episode, Sam shares the ‘do’s’ and ‘don’ts‘ of social media, including how to create content pillars, maximise hashtags, leverage software to schedule posts, create engaging images and plan out an annual calendar of social media content.
    And in the Aftertaste section, I remind you of 3 key lessons we learnt about how to optimise your social media plans so that you’re engaging your customers in the most effective way.
    You can connect with Sam at Sam Says via:https://www.samsays.com.auhttps://www.facebook.com/SamSaysSocial/https://www.linkedin.com/in/sammcfarlane/
