“Better To Ride a Trend Than Go Against It” with Adam Michaels, CEO, Mama Mancini’s

Starting worlds away from the food industry as a bioengineer at UPenn, Mama Mancini’s CEO Adam Michaels joins me today and shares how he found his true passion and purpose in food.

We dissect consumer trends in the wake of recessionary pressures. As more people choose to eat at home over eating out and choose to buy private labels over branded ones, Mama Mancini's decision to be a one-stop shop in the deli is the right one.

Crack open a beer and enjoy this episode with Adam.
