‘’We lost 99,7% of our revenue in one weekend. That was a tough pill to swallow. We quickly realised we needed something with a stronger consumer focus. So we came up with an industry solution with something that also works for consumers’’ From Finance Director to Co-founder in Fashion Platforms (Should you wear it?) and Consumer Goods Beverages (Shakakan), Richard Nicholls talks to us about how they adapted to new business models and innovated around key industry pain points to find new growth vectors following the impact of Covid. Richard also speaks to us about the sustainability issues facing the industry. How to scale a brand without a can which is a key topic in the European consumer goods climate policy discussions right now. How do we cut down on plastics. How do we source Acacia gum, a key ingredient in a large amount of mixed drinks in the world, and which is sourced from Central and East Africa. It’s a natural product that comes from trees. The supply chain side of this business is fraught with ethical issues, much like Cobalt mining. Shakacan is working with local suppliers in South Sudan to ensure they are sourcing ethically and sustainably. #bootstrapping #startups #cpg #retail #tech #innovation #leadership #adaptability #mindset #valuecreation #beverages #b2c #directtoconsumer #customersellingstories #categorylift #singleuseplastic #sustainability #growth #dothework #hustleandflowlabs

Episode 17: A third of the global economy is forecast to be in recession this year. World leaders will this week gather in Davos, Switzerland, to discuss what the World Economic Forum has called a “polycrisis” as business leaders engage in a painful reckoning over their empire building. If you're impacted by or even confused about the global financial markets and what needs to be done to fix the current stasis, you’re not alone. I recently spoke to Allison Pyburn, writer, columnist, founder and speaker. Allison ran a global newswire pertaining to complex asset backed securities for ten years post 2008. This allowed her to go deep into the system to understand how it works. ''There are all of these people, who are lovely people, who are in silo's and it's like no part really understood the whole. As the meetings were happening, people were trying to figure out how to fix it. It was like an old car that has all of these parts falling off it and it was like...what part can we tape on, and what other part of the car can we use to patch it? This wasn't so much about fixing. What I was witnessing was a state of entropy. A deep state of entropy. A system that has been in place for a very long time. The system can only take from itself in order to keep moving forward.'' Allison joins us for an early morning call to talk about a state of entropy in a global financial system, a state volatility and how with the right eyes, we can switch ‘famine’ to 'feast', to move beyond material value to fully appreciate the human experience and 'life' value. If we go back and shame one another for things that happened in the past we’re going to get stuck in a feedback loop, without progress. #volatility #impact #socialvalue #consciouscapitalism #growth #sustainability #humancentered

Inspiring the art of the possible. How ‘at scale’ brands and startups work together to create social and economic value. A few weeks ago we shared an article about Decathlon changing its name to Nolhtaced in three Belgium cities as part of a campaign to promote "reverse shopping," allowing customers to resell old or unused sporting goods to Decathlon so that they can be repaired and resold under warranty. This content seemed to resonate well and went viral, attracting over 1.3m views and more than 13000 engagements. Simple thought. Educating consumers requires big brand budgets who can work with startups to give impetus to meaningful movements. This elevates the game to a higher plane, where we measure progress in our environment, communities, business and society as a whole. This led us to a pioneer who is doing some amazing things in this space. We actually did an audio chat but there's some photo's and video in the clip. Episode 16: Social Enterprise, Impact and Building Fashion Brands through levers of D&I for social good and sustainable business models Thami Schweichler is the CEO at United Repair Centre & Makers Unite, TedX Speaker, Social Entrepreneur, Circular Fashion and impact player in diversity and inclusion. Thami talks to us about 'why' he started the business and how his 'repair' centre reverse engineers the lifecycle of a brand to preserve the emotional attachment consumers have with their favourite items of clothing. He shares how his work with Patagonia, Scotch & Soda and other breakthrough brands, is helping disadvantaged communities to regain a sense of dignity and self-respect through meaningful work and purpose whilst solving environmental pain points at scale. #reimaginingconsumption #valuecreation #reverseshopping #brand #sustainability #socialvalue #economicvalue #energy #diversityandinclusion #impact

Episode 15: How do we become unstuck and move into states of greatness and flow? You know what you need, you know what you need to do, but somehow can’t seem to lift up and out of your current state? How do you stop yourself or your teams from being their own worst enemy? Arnaud Saint-Paul works with pioneers, inventors and leaders who perform at the edge, helping them to find joy and happiness using his own patented Heartful Method: http://tapuat.com/harmony. ‘’He’s taught me more about myself in the time we’ve been working together than I have all the times combined before that. It helped me understand who I was, what made me joyous, what made me happy, and I can’t thank him enough. If you have any inclination to learn more about yourself, the world around you, and how to wake up with a smile every day, knowing how to deal with situations, Arnaud can help you make sense of what makes you tick. ‘’ - Rob Angel, Inventor of Pictionary A great pleasure speaking to Arnaud.

Episode 14: Tyler is a passionate Impact Investor, Co-founder of Cool Beans and Operating Partner at Beyond Impact VC. His investments include Next Gen Foods, Wicked Foods, Renewable Mills and Atomo Coffee. Atomo has reverse-engineered the coffee bean using the same molecular signature of conventional coffee, only without beans. Instead, they use fermented Medjool date pits to create a beanless coffee that delivers the same great taste of conventional coffee without the waste or deforestation that threatens our planet. Tyler talks about sustainability, regenerative agriculture, the future of food, the role of Fibre in gut health and the impact on consumer nutrition. We talked about long-range innovation, the rise of clean label and building biodiversity in the planet, which is mirrored in our tummies.

Episode 13: ‘’Our goal is to get people excited and to understand that plant-based food does not mean compromising taste and texture. That’s our objective, and that’s what we’ve been doing.’’ Andre Menezes, Cofounder and CEO of Next Gen Foods In conversation with Andre, he explains how his team is winning over consumers and investors by designing its plant-based chicken to appeal to chefs. B2B2C as a strategy has been used to great effect in the past, from toothpaste manufacturers working with dentists to insurance companies working through financial advisors, to complement the awareness and education building activities that are required to shift behaviours at scale. There’s a significant amount of media attention around sustainability and food tech, and Singapore seems to be investing a lot in the infrastructure around R&D when it comes to food tech or agritech. The macro layer driving this sector globally is related to sustainability. Food production is the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases after energy; that’s how big of a problem it is. This macro trend is what’s driving industry, governments, policies, attention, and investment in technology. The Tindle team is inspiring the art of what's possible, establishing product-market fit in APAC, Europe and the US. North America is now one of the the fastest growing markets following a recent raise of USD 100 million. We covered: · Designing a more efficient, sustainable food system for the future to mitigate environmental resource strain whilst removing animals from the supply chain. · What is right for the consumer, what is right for the customer/ retailer, what is right for the manufacturer and investors e.g. nutrition, mind-heart-gut health, pricing, unit economics, channels etc. · How does a US-based category shopper (early adopters) behave relative to buyers in Sao Paolo, Johannesburg, Berlin, Amsterdam, London and Singapore · Clean Label (ingredient’s lists) #sustainability #future #tech #foodandbeverage #plantbasedfoods #innovation #nutrition #cleanlabel #growth #innovation

Episode 12: Connectedness between groups is often overlooked when building resilience and high performing teams, particularly in times of turbulence and uncertainty. In the book Fortitude, Bruce Daisley argues that the standard ways we teach resilience in organisations today, that have emerged out of positive psychology, don’t actually work. It’s not so much about teaching someone to stand alone like a tree. Instead, we ought to be asking how do we create a ‘biodiverse’’ deep root system to enable survival as a group? How, in the body of the organisation, are people creating these bonded groups that actually keep them resilient? I recently spoke with @Dr Richard Claydon, Chief Cognitive Officer at EQ Labs, consultant, author and educator at Macquarie Business School's Global MBA, teaching future leaders on how to Adapt their Leadership Styles. We covered: · How to inspire fortitude and resilience at leadership and at organisational level? How do people navigate the current turbulence? · How to create our own magic faraway tree? How do we build unity through diversity? And what can the West learn from the East when it comes to energy, creating meaning and belonging in the workplace and building trust. · Crucially, what does this mean for the future of work, where we’ve lost the ‘liminal’ channels of communication ie the in-between spaces; eating together, water cooler chats, etc. where problems are solved productively in informal ways. · How does this differ by region for a large global organisation seeking to harness agility, oneness, unity, uniformity etc, whilst also building diversity and equitable inclusion? #leadership #energy #adaptability #resilience #fortitude #connection #diversity #meaning #belonging #trust #designingthefuture
