    35. The 3 Reasons Why Food Entrepreneurs Are Succeeding

    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; Product & Brand AuthenticityConsumer ClosenessProduct 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

    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.
