| 03 Oct 2018 | 14. Krista & Rob Watkins, Natural Evolution | 00:45:40 | |
Krista and Rob Watkins step-changed their business from banana growing in Walkamin Queensland, to starting the world’s first pharmaceutical grade banana flour factory and launching Natural Evolution, a range of natural, nutritious, gluten-free superfoods. As second generation farmers, Krista & Rob wanted to diversify and de-risk their business. Like many primary producers their annual crop return was at the mercy of mother nature, boom and bust cycles of supply, with more than 20% of their green bananas wasted annually when they didn’t meet strict supermarket buying standards. In this episode, you’ll hear how one day Rob had an ‘eureka’ moment of discovery when driving over a bunch of dried bananas with a forklift and saw a ‘puff of banana dust’ – this discovery transformed their business from a banana farm into the world’s first commercial banana flour factory. The combination of Rob’s engineering ingenuity and Krista’s baking experimentation, led this couple to develop a whole range of natural, nutritious, gluten-free superfoods under the brand of Natural Evolution – based on the amazing properties of green banana flour, which they discovered is the richest source of resistant starch in the world. Plus, in this episode, you’ll learn how to create more ‘eureka’ moments of inspiration for your business to help you generate new product ideas.

Mitch Well is the co-founder, with brother Alex, of Billy Van Creamy, an ice cream business that makes natural, organic and vegan ice cream, just like you would make it at home from fresh and simple ingredients like milk, cream, sugar and eggs. In this episode, you’ll hear how Mitch and Alex’s entrepreneurial journey started with a home ice-cream maker and a gap they spotted in the Melbourne food truck scene for sweet desserts. With a little knowledge, a ‘can do’ attitude and a lot of personal sweat equity, the two brothers have bootstrapped the growth Billy Van Creamy from a bowling club kitchen and furniture-van turned food-truck, into two bricks and mortar stores and a foray into the retail grocery channel.

Francisco Caffarena is the co-founder with Michael Harder of Sprout Stack. It’s an indoor farming business, that’s set to revolutionise the way fresh produce is grown and distributed in Sydney. In this episode, you’ll hear how Francisco and Michael are driven to overcome the challenges of weather disruption, climate change and food miles, that face traditional crop growers. Their combined skill sets, in agricultural science, electrical installation and construction, made an ideal partnership to launch their Ag-tech start-up, Sprout Stack. Together, they created an indoor farm in used shipping containers, filling them with vertical stacks of hydroponic trays. They transformed these containers to create a climate-controlled environment, in which their micro-crops can be watered, nurtured and regulated using integrated computer technology. As a result, Sprout Stack farms can be set-up and relocated in highly populated, urban areas like metro Sydney, so that fresh produce is grown locally and close to its end users. And in the Aftertaste section, I share the 10 different ways you could be more innovative in your business.

| 22 Aug 2018 | 11. Sallie Jones, Gippsland Jersey | 00:38:36 | |
Sallie Jones and Steve Ronalds were inspired to start Gippsland Jersey, an independent, farmer-owned milk brand, out of a desire to honour the work and lives of their hard-working, dairy-farming families. In this episode, you’ll hear how Sallie was spurred on after a personal crisis that saw her father Michael end his life tragically in 2016, followed by a crash in the dairy industry, during which major milk producers slashed the prices paid to farmers, leaving them in debt and despair. Gippsland Jersey was created to be more than simply a milk brand. By returning a portion of its profits to the Gippsland farming community, it’s a powerful platform for advocacy that helps Sallie and Steve raise awareness of the importance of community connections, fair pay in the dairy industry and support for dairy farmers suffering mental health issues. As a farmer-owned brand, Gippsland Dairy bypasses the major milk producers and provides, not only a fair price for farmers, but also a means for consumers to make an act of support when choosing which milk brand to buy. It encourages us all to make a more meaningful choice that helps local dairy farmers, rather than simply finding the lowest price on shelf. And judging by the overwhelming wave of support and endorsement from consumers, local businesses and other institutions, it’s a cause that is truly touching people’s hearts and minds. Plus in this episode, you’ll learn about the power of the golden circle, and why people don’t buy you do or make, but the underlying reason of you do it.whatwhy Beyond BlueRipple EffectLifeline.*If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health concerns, please seek help via organisations such as , the or You can learn more about Gippsland Jersey, buy a Gippsland Jersey calendar and connect with Sallie on: To learn more about Simon Sinek and the golden circle that starts with ‘why’, go to: https://www.ted.com/talks/simon_sinek_how_great_leaders_inspire_action Many thanks to this episode’s sponsor, Rocket Seeder, a food and agribusiness accelerator working with the Monash Food Innovation Centre.

| 20 Apr 2020 | 35. The 3 Reasons Why Food Entrepreneurs Are Succeeding | 00:15:18 | |
In this Season 2. wrap-up episode, I share the 3 reasons why and how Food Entrepreneurs, especially those from Small and Medium Sized Businesses, are succeeding in an unprecedented way versus traditional Big Food companies. Over the last 7 years, the most innovative and high growth products are actually coming from Food Entrepreneurs in start-up and scale-up businesses. These products account for less that 3% of sales in the market but are driving more than 30% of category growth. Some industry insiders are predicting that this is a precursor for the demise of traditional mainstream brands altogether. These 3 factors for success are evident in the food businesses featured in our Season 2. episodes, as they demonstrate;
