It's Thanksgiving week! Which means family, turkey, and Thanksgiving traditions. It also means we've been inundated by Holiday shopping ads for months! At Unlocking Moves we decided to go behind-the-scenes in advance of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping extravaganzas. We want to share some of the key decisions and mistakes that helped shape many of your favorite companies (and we have some great footage from previous episodes -- so why not?!?!)

Join us for a special episode of Unlocking Moves - the show that dives into the pivotal moments in a leader's journey that unlocked their potential! Many leaders only like to talk about their "glory" stories - but host Kurt Wilkin is a firm believer that we learn more from our stumbles and mistakes, our "gory" stories. On this episode, Kurt highlights wisdom and lessons learned from some of our past episodes featuring Consumer Packaged Goods leaders. You'll hear advice about building a great team with a great culture and stories about naming your new company, and behind-the-scenes stories from some Shark Tank participants! This is a can't miss episode for anyone in the CPG industry or who works in CPG!

Our guests for this special episode include Tori Brodsky from besa mi vino, Matthias Ihlenfeld from woom bike, Paul Hedrick from Tecovas, Jason Bronstad from Malk Organics, and Allison and Steven Ellsworth from Poppi.
