That's all folks!

The podcast is being archived as we move on to new things in Food Safety University.

All episodes will be archived within Food Safety University.

It's been a great 4 year run of talking food safety, entrepreneurship and coaching.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you've done. For the hours you spent listening and the questions you've asked.

Kate and I recorded this webinar in February because we both deeply believe that in order to get where you want to go (ie...selling for a lot of money) you actually need the map now.

Pens, paper, you know the drill! This was a great webinar chock full of awesome information.

You can find Kate on LinkedIn

You can schedule a call to talk to her here.

Michael is a veteran on a mission to share coffee. So clearly I had to have him on the podcast. He's got a great deal of information to share about food entrepreneurship.

You can find Michael on LinkedIn (follow him, his posts are awesome)

And here's the website to get the coffee!!

We've learned about resourcing, finding helpful help and letting time pass to gain experience.

How do we wrap this all together to make sure innovation actually happens?

We all want results now. We want innovation now. We want our dreams to come true now. That's such a human thing to want.

But here is the thing, time is a construct and we are not in charge of time passing. We are only in charge of our experience as time passes. 

Your innovation strategy must incorporate time, because it will pass, but, you can't force time, rush it or slow it. Your innovation will come when you take your internal resourcing, your external supports and add it to time.

Finding support so that you can innovate is an inside job. Last week we discussed resourcing yourself. Building your self trust is the first step...but it is also a means to an end. You must be in the capacity to receive in order to innovate. What does that even mean? It means that if you want support...you have to be open to accepting it.

When other people step in to help because you've ASKED for what you need...you are given the opportunity be someone who can receive helpful help. The capacity to get the help you need is a learned and learnable skill and you are only going to figure it out by trying and FAILING at it. We learn by doing my friends.

The steps to being able to be supported are

Every new FSU client this quarter is going to get a free plant review bonus. I will look over your drawings, send feedback and even get on the phone/Zoom with your people to make sure your building is right. Do not miss out on this opportunity because I am only selling 38 more slots in FSU this year AND I am only offering this bonus in Q1 2022. https://dirigofoodsafety.krtra.com/t/9GmTyXdf3JlF

The first step in innovation as we covered briefly last week is resourcing.

What do I mean by resourcing?

I mean tuning into yourself so you can find exactly what you need in yourself. Resourcing yourself is finding a place of safety from which you can accomplish anything.

There are reasons that you don't feel safe inside yourself, trauma, past experiences and never being taught HOW to feel safe in your body...that it is even possible.

Get comfortable and take notes because this podcast is going to change your life.

If you are interested in working with the best possible program to make your food program thrive, from farm to fork, read more about FSU and book a call. The question isn't if you can afford the fee ($15K for lifetime membership) but...if your business, your animals, your people can afford NOT to be in FSU

Welcome to our series on innovation.

As you can imagine, we are going to cover innovation somewhat differently. Most people talking about innovation in the CPG space are talking about product, packaging or other very specific projects. I get that, it is really important to do that sort of innovation. But...that's not what I am talking about in this podcast series. This series is on innovation leadership. If you can lead through innovation, you can do ANY kind of innovation you want...it doesn't have to be tied to a specific project.

Join today and if you are in the next 3 businesses that sign up, I’ll write your SOPs for you and go over them so you know EXACTLY what to do. Find out more here https://www.foodsafetyuniversity.com 

In our series on time, we've looked at the way I manage and think about my time.

Today...I want you to build a future where you have a great relationship with time.

Then, enroll in Food Safety University and let's get to work
