Welcome to the first episode of Basket Cases.
A show from myself and James Hickson, a self-certified FMCG nerd.
This isn’t a podcast (although it’s very podcast adjacent!).
And whilst we talk about the business of food and drink, this isn’t intended to be a webinar or online coaching, it’s deliberately not another "3 tips to scale your business in 30 minutes" type affair.
It’s an informal conversation, we’ll share things that have caught our eye and made their way into our shopping baskets, things that we think could make a great business or have simply made us smile.
In this episode we get into,
Czech kombucha
The empanada opportunity
Estate Dairy and their retail challenge
Jacked Granny and tinned protein bars
Using Hinge to find new customers
How Brits find it hard to be bold enough
And more!
Have a listen and please let us know what you think.
We enjoyed it, so we’re looking to do another one, w/c 17th August.
