My Favorite CPG Podcast

As I’ve continued to dig deeper into CPG-specific marketing career, I was looking for an education source that could enlighten me on parts of the business I was less familiar with, including financing and operations.

Wayne and Robin really excel in both asking poignant questions and seeking nuanced answers to situations and obstacles that go beyond anything you can find in a Google search.

Their conversations with Spindrift, Good Eggs, King’s Hawaiian and Clif Bar founders/executives have been my favorite so far.

Top notch sit downs with entrepreneurs

I stumbled on this podcast a few years ago and couldn’t stop listening! Wayne and Robin set a casual vibe for these sit downs allowing for candid open dialogue. Creating a space for entrepreneurs to open up and share on a personal level the ups and downs and self-reflection on being in the CPG business. Kudos!
