The Love for Oatmeal
Oatmeal is a beloved staple for a segment of the population, with enthusiasts consuming it daily.
Moodify offers a range of six oatmeal flavors designed to improve your mood and overall well-being.
Diet and Outlook
Christine highlights how dietary choices can significantly impact one's outlook on life and emotional well-being.
The idea for Moodify was born during the pandemic, as Christine and her team sought to understand shifting eating habits.
Research and Insights
A pivotal moment came when Christine discovered a study involving 2,000 people, revealing their desire for foods that support brain health.
This insight led to the concept of "Good Mood Food," a novel idea with untapped potential.
Ingredients for a Better Mood
Moodify's products include grains, nuts, coffee, ginger, and berries – all real whole foods, without the addition of extra sugar.
Christine's decision not to use adaptogens was due to their unappealing taste.
Distribution and Market Expansion
Moodify initially launched as a direct-to-consumer (DTC) product in Denver, serving as a test market.
The brand expanded its presence to college campuses, cafes, and hotels, receiving positive feedback.
Currently available in Southern California's natural grocery stores like Gelson's.
Retail Strategies
Christine shares the retail strategies employed to encourage consumers to try Moodify products, including price promotions and product demos.
The Importance of Texture
Christine emphasizes that texture plays a vital role in Moodify's success in winning over consumers.
Future Innovations
Moodify has its sights set on future innovations, potentially branching out into bars or cookies while staying true to its Good Mood Food concept.

Discover Maka, the Ready to Drink Wheatgrass Superfood Functional Beverage, perfect for food enthusiasts.
Maka is more than just a drink; it's a Public Benefit Corporation committed to donating 1% of its proceeds to support clean water initiatives, such as Surf Rider and the Nature Conservancy.
This unique beverage combines Wheatgrass with Yerba Mate and its cousin, Guayusa, creating a truly exceptional blend.
While educating consumers about Wheatgrass can be challenging, Maka boasts an impressive 99% conversion rate once people sample it.
With only 10 grams of sugar from fruit juice and Blue Agave, Maka stands out by avoiding Stevia or Monk fruit additives.
Loaded with essential nutrients like Vitamin A and antioxidants, Maka contains just 90 milligrams of caffeine, a far cry from the 240 milligrams found in a medium Starbucks coffee.
Available at Sprouts now, Maka has plans for a nationwide rollout in 2023 and has recently made its debut at Gelsons and Bristol Farms in Southern California.
When it comes to sampling, Maka's ambassadors are incredibly effective, often selling 7-12 cans per session, with some achieving an impressive 50 cans sold.
The brand is actively expanding its sampling team, seeking out trusted ambassadors who share a genuine passion for Maka's product and can represent it authentically.
One of their main challenges is finding natural brand ambassadors who align with their values and mission.
Maka's marketing strategy has evolved to prioritize face-to-face demos over top-of-the-funnel marketing and social advertising.
Looking forward, their innovation plan includes exploring new and exciting flavors to expand their product line.

In today's episode, we're diving into the unknown story of Krispy Krunchy Food, the hidden gem of America's fried chicken chains with Dan Shapiro, the CEO of Krispy Krunchy Food.
America's Best Fried Chicken Chain
The Wall Street Journal once quoted a famous chef as saying, "This is America's Fried Chicken."
Krispy Krunchy Food is a Cajun fried chicken franchise tucked away inside convenience stores, offering comfort food sides like mac 'n' cheese, red beans and rice, jambalaya, and honey biscuits.
They operate in over 2,800 locations and are expanding into Walmart, making them a notable presence in the fast-food industry.
The Resilient Founder Story
Krispy Krunchy Food faced adversity in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina nearly wiped them out.
In 2006, they decided to expand aggressively, diversifying their geographical footprint.
This resilience played a significant role in their success story.
A Taste Unlike Any Other
Customers' reactions to Krispy Krunchy Food are clear-cut: It's either the best chicken they've ever tasted or a delightful surprise for those who've never heard of it.
The year 2020 marked a banner year for food in grocery stores, with Krispy Krunchy Food at the forefront.
The Marketing Strategy
Krispy Krunchy Food focuses on branding, aiming to resemble a legitimate Quick Service Restaurant (QSR).
They strategically place their food at the front counter to boost impulse purchases, a tactic that has proven successful.
Front Counter Real Estate
In the grocery store world, the most valuable real estate is the front counter.
Not all products are worthy of this prime location; it's about choosing high-margin items strategically.
Tic Tacs and gum may not cut it; Krispy Krunchy Food knows better.
Expansion Plans
Krispy Krunchy Food is set to open 500 new stores while losing 150 in normal churn.
There are approximately 150,000 grocery stores in the U.S., with 90,000 being independent.
The key is to vet the stores for foot traffic and find the right operators who excel in food service.
Unexpected Consequences
One surprising outcome of offering multiple food options in gas stations was an increase in chicken sales.
It's a testament to the appeal and demand for Krispy Krunchy Food's offerings.
Future Expansion
Krispy Krunchy Food is not stopping at convenience stores; they're expanding into colleges, universities, and Walmart stores, aiming to make their delicious offerings even more accessible.

Hey Foodies, in this ground-breaking episode, we explore the first animal-free dairy milk brand, Bored Cow, a visionary plant-based milk brand that's redefining the dairy landscape. Hey Founders, join us as we explore the sales, marketing, and hiring strategies driving Tomorrow Farms Bored Cow brand and their quest to future-proof food for the generations to come.
The Creative Vision: Cows Pursuing Passions Bored Cow's creative process revolves around envisioning what cows might choose to do if they weren't producing milk for humans. This imaginative approach forms the foundation of their brand universe, where each flavor represents a different cow with its unique personality and passion.
Next-Generation Branding We delve into the significance of crafting a brand that resonates with the evolving consumer landscape. Bored Cow believes that traditional CPG companies can't communicate with tomorrow's consumers the way next-generation brands can. Their mission is to future-proof food by harnessing the most innovative food technology available.
Revolutionizing Plant-Based Milk Bored Cow introduces a game-changing concept - plant-based milk built around fermentation-derived milk protein. We take a quick scientific journey, where DNA sequences of cow's milk are fed to yeast and micro-flora, resulting in whey protein identical to that of cow's milk. A bold ingredient list comparison highlights the unnecessary components found in traditional cow's milk.
Scaling Success: The Rise of Bored Cow With a global footprint of 1,200 stores and exciting new SKU developments on the horizon, Bored Cow has become a true trailblazer in the animal-free dairy realm. Their vision to reinvent beloved foods using groundbreaking food technology is driving their expansion and impact.
Navigating Challenges and Solutions The challenge of communicating the concept of animal-free dairy milk to consumers is met head-on by Bored Cow. We explore how the power of storytelling influences people's perception of their innovative product. From category awareness through recipe communities to impactful collaborations, Bored Cow engages consumers at the top of the funnel.
The Collaborative Approach Affiliates, influencers, and brand ambassadors play a pivotal role in Bored Cow's journey. We uncover how these collaborations amplify their message and foster a community of advocates for animal-free dairy.
Join us for an inspiring conversation with Bored Cow, where we uncover the incredible innovation, creativity, and determination propelling their mission to revolutionize the dairy landscape and inspire a food-conscious future.

In today's episode, we're diving into Truffle Shuffle, the extraordinary live-streaming experiential business that empowers you to "unleash your inner master chef". Join us as we embark on a culinary journey with Chef Jason McKinney, the CEO of Truffle Shuffle.
Vision and Innovation Our journey begins with Jack Clifford, a newspaperman with a unique vision for the Food Network. The question arises: Why do we watch food entertainment, only to be left yearning to replicate it ourselves? Chef Jason McKinney: That's where Truffle Shuffle comes in. We believe that the magic of food should be shared and experienced firsthand. We're taking entertainment to the next level by live-streaming culinary experiences, empowering you to become the master chef you've always wanted to be.
Livestreaming Revolution Livestreaming has become a powerful tool in the digital age. But why should people care about live streaming in 2023, especially when it comes to cooking?

Community and Transformation Beyond the cooking, there seems to be a sense of community at Truffle Shuffle. How do you foster this connection between chefs and guests? Jack Clifford: The bond between chefs and guests is akin to what you see with Peloton. It's about shared experiences, accomplishments, and a common passion for culinary artistry.
From "Meal Kit" to "Experiential Company" Truffle Shuffle is evolving beyond being known as a "meal kit" company. Could you share more about this transformation? Chef Jason McKinney: We're transitioning into an "experiential company." It's about more than just ingredients; it's about creating unforgettable culinary memories and connections.
Try It! Incorporating Livestreaming into Your Business For our listeners who own service-based businesses, how can they leverage live streaming to engage and connect with their customers? Jack Clifford: It's simple – invite your customers to join you, share your upcoming plans, and ask for their insights. Spotlight your customers and build a strong community around your brand.
And there you have it – an insightful journey into the world of Truffle Shuffle, where entertainment, education, and community converge. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Chef Jason McKinney and Jack Clifford for sharing their culinary vision with us.
