This week the NOSH podcast team revisits some important lessons and stories shared during NOSH Live Winter 2022. In this episode, you’ll hear from Suzie York, founder and CEO of The Better Chocolate and Matt Clifford, CEO of CanDo. After previously founding Love Good Fats and Barnana, respectively, Yorke and Clifford have moved onto their second endeavors in the world of CPG. In a conversation with NOSH editor Carol Ortenberg the duo share how they applied certain learnings from their first businesses, the second time around.
Show Highlights:
03:00: Suzie discusses how she went from a first-time entrepreneur at age 50, to a second-time founder again at age 55. Matt then takes the mic to discuss why all founders should approach their business with a beginner’s mindset.
11:18: Matt jokes about the leap of faith Barnana took to get its first big retail break. Suzie shares how her experience at large multinationals taught her the playbook and walks through how those rules morph in the startup world.
18:39: The two founder’s trade tips from their past endeavors including approaches to team building, taking in investment and how the climate within the industry has changed for emerging brands.
“There's magic that happens when founders connect the dots, put a couple of things together and see what others don't see. Then, we're relentless. If you have a problem, you're gonna work through it. You want to keep all of that [energy] even though you have experience.”
-Suzie York
“So much of what we do here is luck. Right? I think it's dangerous when you try to figure out what is luck and what is skill. It's execution, and then the right time, right place and having humility.”
-Matt Clifford
