2019/04/01

Today, Tara-Ann Dugan gives us a deep dive into the wonderful world of pork which includes barbeque, pork chops, and bacon! We learn how pork is trending and in what ways the consumer eats the meat. We go into the insights on how the data was collected (if you’re into that like I am) and also some market trends that might be related to your field. Tara also has a great history in consumer insights and I loved talking to her about her career journey. Her 4 year McDonald's stint, for instance, was

2019/03/25

I’m a huge fan of the viral videos on social media that teach you how to cook in just a few minutes. The dishes are eye poppingly bright and I personally love trying to replicate them. I caught Matthew’s post on LinkedIn, talking about his layoff from Buzzfeed. As many know, many media companies went through a layoff round, and unfortunately, Matthew was one of them. I reached out to Matt to tell his story and we had an interview that night. I learned about the complexity of creating Tasty videos

I met Ethan Beswick at the Prime Root’s panel at IndieBio a couple of months ago and he was just a really cool, chill dude. It helped that he offered me some whiskey before the talk. After he told me what Endless West was about, I was curious to learn more. Ethan himself has an interesting background, especially since he took about a year off to go travel the world. I’ve heard of people do this, whether it’s teaching English, or just because they’re sick of it all. Sometimes I wish I could do that,

This episode is with Ziynet Boz, who recently got a job at the University of Florida as an Assistant Professor. Her expertise is on sustainable packaging and she is also a full bright scholar. Ziynet brings a lot of insight into the sustainable packaging realm and teaches me about what type of packaging is truly sustainable, and how you can find more about it online. We also revisit the topic of lifecycle analysis, something in which I feel is becoming a bigger and bigger topic. Last week, at Expo

2019/03/04

Joseph Robertson's job is to convince politicians to focus on Climate Change, and we get into many strategies and stories on how to do just that. Joseph’s a powerhouse when it comes to working together with political bodies to get them to understand and act on the impending climate change issue. He not only plays a key role in getting Congress to focus on sustainable solutions, but he also has a great way of rallying up great people to join the cause. This episode gave me a bit of hope in the world

To continue with our Podcast Showcase Series, we have an episode from Katie Mleziva, podcast host of real food brands, a podcast that gives great insights on food marketing and how to get your amazing brand on the shelf. She will be interviewing Alli Ball, a well known retail consultant in the industry. I don’t think I would do justice talking about Katie, as she’s been a recent friend and addition to the food industry podcast space. So I decided to do a quick interview with her, to learn about what

2019/02/11

To continue with our Podcast Showcase Series, we have an episode from Katie Jones from the Food Heroes Podcast. In this episode, she interviews a cool startup in the UK, a company that makes beer out of old bread. Katie Jones popped out of the scene last year when LinkedIn had this weird power of getting individuals to talk more. I was fortunate to ride the wave of this, and so did Katie. Katie has a very interesting story. You can actually listen to it on her podcast. I believe it’s episode 20

Many of you know the story between Kim and I. We started our podcasts at the same time. I was able to reach out to her when I saw her posting on a super secret podcast facebook group. I reached out, because My Food Job Rocks was also in its infancy. We decided to do a podcast swap. I would interview Kim, and she would interview me. I launched episode 12 starring Kim, and now we’re here, on episode 156. Time flies, doesn’t it? But still, we persisted. Kim and my guests overlap a bit. We’ve had

When you go on a journey to improve a skill, there are likeminded people who will support you, and there are people who will do the same as you. You either choose to treat them as competition, or treat them as cohorts. Over the past two years, I’ve communicated and even worked with people who have their own interview podcasts. These podcasts follow the same vein as My Food Job Rocks. Interview food experts and chronicle their life, advice and predictions. However, each podcast I’ll be sharing is

I’ve been following Elaine Watson ever since I started working on the food industry. Every time I wanted to know a new trend or something happening in my industry, I read her articles. I’ve even commented in a few of her articles but most recently, I had the honor of being interviewed by Elaine when we debuted our article for Better Meat Co. Paul and I planned to get Elaine to debut Better Meat Co, we had this master plan to do a tasting with Elaine with our blended products only to learn she was

Now she not only helps small businesses in Costa Rica grow their businesses, but she also has had a chance to talk to Congress about food science. The Costa Rica Food industry has some interesting twists on how they educate their workforce on food science and you’ll learn a lot about how they train professionals and the

Darius has been a long time fan of My Food Job Rocks, who emailed me when we were in the episode 50 range. This year, I was able to meet Darius at IFT where we talked, and I loved how he talked about his job and his love of chocolate. Wow, I had to get him on the show! He has the coolest job in the world, playing his part making candy! Darius is in the procurement field, we talk a lot about this, as I find that it’s one of the most lesser known fields in the food industry. Procurement is super

Lots of fun things happened this year. I was able to talk to some really amazing guests that made its mark in the food science community.

Cultivating an ecosystem is extremely important in any industry. The most common example of this is Silicon Valley in the Bay Area. When everyone thrives in one place, and they all work together to build some amazing things I’m always curious how great ecosystems can be built, living in Phoenix and Sacramento, where the ecosystem is at its infancy, I was curious on how to grow these types of functions. As I found out interviewing Alan, it does indeed take a village, or perhaps a city, but it also
