What I'm sharing with founders lately + Expo West?

Published 4 months ago • 1 min read

Hey There,

If you are reading this, we’ve connected as a client, a colleague or maybe just a chat over the last year. Through those conversations, I noticed the same questions and challenges kept coming up. So I thought, why not share these insights with others experiencing the same things?

Think of this as your monthly dose of the 'what I wish someone had told me' combined with 'what's working right now' for purpose-driven CPG brands. Let's get into it.

2025 Trend Round-Up

​Linked are my favorite industry reports, all great resources to refresh those retailer and investor pitch decks with market-leading insights.

Perfect Your Pitch - Live Webinar Tomorrow!

​Join me on Friday, February 20th, at 3 PM EST/ 12 PST to learn how to pitch different audiences and timeframes while staying true to you and your vision. We'll share insights from winning pitches that work, and you'll walk away with a guide to help you craft yours.

Have Something on Your Mind?

Join me for Brand Builders Unfiltered - honest conversations with founders who are in the thick of building brands that matter. In these candid 30-45 minute chats, we cut through the noise to share real challenges and practical solutions. You'll walk away with insights you can use today and strategy that shapes tomorrow.

Want to be featured? Each conversation turns into 3-5 clips of the best insights I'll share online, which you can use to promote yourself and your brand. Email me if you are interested in learning more.

Headed to Expo West?

I’d love to meet up in real life. Feel free to grab a time ​here ​or when you are at the show.

Skipping Expo West? No worries; I’ll share my thoughts on the biggest trends impacting my clients next month. If you are interested in something specific, shoot me a note so I can keep an eye out for you.

If this kind of practical, been-there-done-that advice is your thing, thanks for reading this far.

If not, you can ​Unsubscribe ​ here, but I’d be grateful to you for passing it along to another founder who might need it.

Until Then,

Helping founders turn good products into great brands.
