Finding Your Moat, Building an Investable Brand, and the State of Early-Stage CPG Funding (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Lauren Wall spent a decade as an M&A lawyer representing CPG companies before crossing over to build and invest in the space herself, first with Funhaven, a snack brand she ultimately chose to walk away from, and now as a co-founder of Bocca Bocca while actively angel investing. In this episode, she breaks down what separates a true competitive moat from an overhyped one, what makes a brand investable to institutional capital, and why the pool of founders getting early checks is shrinking even a
Le Prunier: Building an Ingredient House and the Future of a Multi-Generational Brand (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Allison Taylor , co-founder of Le Prunier, joins the show to unpack how her family's fourth-generation dried plum farm turned a discarded byproduct into a patented ingredient platform with 16 proprietary innovations.

Read excerpt
Chelsey Maschhoff grew up on a sixth-generation pork farm in the Midwest before co-founding Lottie's Meats , a sister-owned sausage brand bringing clean-label, whole-cut quality to a category that hasn't seen real innovation in decades. In this episode, Chelsey shares how her culinary background shaped Lottie's product standards, why the brand is winning over chicken sausage loyalists, and how a female-first approach to branding and go-to-market is reshaping a traditionally male-dominated aisle.
Bezi: Manufacturing Moat, and Building a Category From Scratch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ilay Karateke , co-founder of Bezi , joins us to talk about building Labneh into America's next big CPG category — starting with the manufacturing edge that makes it possible. Her co-founder comes from one of Turkey's largest cheese-making families, and that partnership gave Bezi a custom dairy process most competitors can't replicate: double the protein, two and a half times the shelf life, and ownership of their supply chain. We dig into why that operational moat matters more than branding in
