Kettle Chips: Cameron Healy. The Wild Bet That Made a Brand

Kettle Chips: Cameron Healy. The Wild Bet That Made a Brand Most founders expand the “right” way: local → regional → national → international. Cameron Healy totally skipped the “national” part. When Kettle Chips was still an upstart regional brand, Cameron made a move that seems almost reckless: he launched his thick-cut, kettle-cooked chips to the United Kingdom — one of the most competitive “crisps” markets on earth — before conquering the U.S. And that wasn’t his first risky move. Before Kettle, Cameron was a turban-wearing Sikh entrepreneur in 1970s Salem, Oregon, building a natural foods business…until he was abruptly fired. He started again from scratch with a $10,000 bank loan. Inspired by the extra thick, crunchy potato chips that he sampled on a trip to Hawaii, he taught himself how to fry sliced potatoes through trial-and-error. Then, just as Kettle started taking off overseas, another trip to Hawaii sparked a second act: Kona Brewing — a craft beer brand that initially lost $20K a month — for years — before Cameron was able to make it work. Meanwhile, buoyed by its UK success, Kettle chips eventually spread across the US, becoming the top-selling natural chip in the country. What you’ll learn The hidden details (like cooking-oil quality control) that can make or break a chipHow curiosity about British “crisp” culture fueled a risky UK rolloutThe decision that turned Kona Brewing from a money pit into a scalable brand Timestamps 07:21 — “You had to get up at 3 a.m.”: building a life in a Sikh community in Salem10:11 — Fired with four kids and no severance: the moment Cameron is forced to rebuild12:04 — The $10K loan (helped along by the offer of ski passes)14:06 — The 1980 peanut crop gamble that suddenly capitalized Cameron’s business23:14 — “Pot Chips” was the original name…until friends told him how bad it was24:48 — Hand-feeding potatoes into vats of oil: inventing a process with zero playbook29:10 — The Safeway disaster: rancid oil, a rejected order, and demand evaporating overnight31:52 — The car crash that jolted Cameron out of despair46:35 — UK word-of-mouth “switches on”--with an extra boost from Lady Di56:03 — Kona Brewing bleeds money…until one decision turns things around*** Hey—want to be a guest on HIBT? If you’re building a business, why not get advice from some of the greatest entrepreneurs on Earth? Every Thursday on the HIBT Advice Line, a previous HIBT guest helps new entrepreneurs work through the challenges they’re facing right now. Advice that’s smart, actionable, and absolutely free. Just call 1-800-433-1298, leave a message, and you may soon get guidance from someone who started where you did, and went on to build something massive. So—give us a call. We can’t wait to hear what you’re working on. *** This episode was produced by Casey Herman with music composed by Ramtin Arablouei. It was edited by Neva Grant with research help from Rommel Wood.

From Wondery comes the latest from Even the Rich co-hosts Brooke Siffrinn and Aricia Skidmore-Williams.
