S3E35: What It Costs When Leadership Culture Breaks Down in Food

<p>On this episode of Real Talk, Catalyst Food Leaders cofounders Tia Glave and Jill Stuber are getting into something that most food companies know is true but rarely say in a budget meeting. Your culture might not be broken. It might just be costing you far more than you realize. And you would never know it until you did the math. We are bringing in a special guest, Craig Stevenson, who has seen this from the inside of a food organization. The employee turnover that compounds. The non-conforming product that traces back to a leadership gap. The talent that quietly stopped raising their hand. And the other side of that conversation: what becomes possible when culture actually works. No matter what function you support, if you lead in a food company, this one is worth your time.</p> <p><span>Watch Real Talk live on Mondays at 11a ET / 10a CT&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.catalystfoodleaders.com/real-talk">https://www.catalystfoodleaders.com/real-talk</a></p>

S3E33: What a Real Food Safety Foundation Looks Like for a Growing Small Business

<p>In this episode of Real Talk, Catalyst Food Leaders co-founders Tia Glave and Jill Stuber sit down with someone we have worked with and genuinely love. Taylor Clarke founded Amborella Organics, a seed-bearing lollipop company she and her husband built from an idea into a nationally recognized food brand with their own commercial kitchen and real retail presence. And along the way, she had to figure out food safety mostly on her own. No big quality team. No consultant on retainer. No resources built for a business of her size. What she had was a product worth protecting and the willingness to build what she needed one honest step at a time. We are talking about what that actually looked like. What she prioritized first. What nobody told her. And what finally made it feel solid. If you are a small food founder, this one is for you.</p> <p><span>Watch Real Talk live on Mondays at 11a ET / 10a CT&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.catalystfoodleaders.com/real-talk">https://www.catalystfoodleaders.com/real-talk</a></p>
