Coming off a fantastic Expert Series episode last week, we are back and it's just the two of us: Alex and Wade. There has been extensive travel and different special edition episodes, and we are happy to be back to basics and both back on the live show together.

We will be discussing Newtopia Now, the most recent event addition by New Hope, and our predictions on how the event will go since this is essentially the replacement for Expo East.

We will also look at common pitfalls committed by CPG brands and how to avoid these. A must-listen for any CPG entrepreneur.

We are bringing on (in no particular order) Ali Shouman, Chief Commercial Officer of CA Fortune; Jeff Church, co-founder of Suja and founder of CPG Brand Accelerator; Karen Danudjaja, co-founder and CEO of fast-growing superfoods brand Blume; and Darren Viscount, Natural Living Senior Category Manager at Bristol Farms.
