Clear, consistent communication can make or break your co-manufacturing partnership. Misunderstandings around production runs, timelines, or specs often lead to costly mistakes — but with the right systems, you can build trust and avoid surprises.

This week on the podcast, I'm diving into the final part of our mini-series: 3 Things Food Founders Struggle with in Co-Manufacturing. We'll talk about how to set up communication practices that protect your product, your margins, and your peace of mind.

And yes, this ties directly into Step 3 of my ETS Method — Scaling & Selling with Confidence. Because scaling isn't just about bigger runs — it's about managing relationships that support sustainable growth.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why poor communication is one of the top reasons co-man partnerships fail

• The key updates you should always request from your co-man (and how often)

• How to document and track conversations to avoid "he said, she said"

• Relationship management tools that keep everyone aligned on expectations

If you're ready to strengthen your co-manufacturer relationship and scale with confidence, this episode is for you.
