5 Crucial Lessons From Silicon Valley for Challenger Food and Drink Brands - Chris Dee, ex-CEO Booths, ex-Director of Food, Harrods.

Imagine ripping up the Challenger brand playbook? Starting completely from scratch. 

Well, that’s what happened last week.

I interviewed Chris Dee. 

Chris has a plentitude of retail experience; ex-CEO Booths and Director of Food, Harrods. 

Now Chris is voraciously slurping up Silicon Valley wisdom to fuel his tech venture: Malt Release Radar. 

F&B and Silicon Valley is an unlikely marriage. Perhaps not? 

Palo Alto - Pale Ale - Apple - Apple Juice - TESLA- TESCO.

Tilt your head slightly, look at the edges, that's where the juicy knowledge is. 

 Our conversation changed my FMCG perspective, like Netflix gorging on BlockBuster, downloading a Challenger_F&B_Perspective_2.0

ON TODAY’S MENU: 

1. A START-UP LOOKS AND FUNCTIONS LIKE A BIG COMPANY AS MUCH AS A BABY FUNCTIONS LIKE AN ADULT  

2. START-UP'S ARE AS UNNATURAL AS SKIING - resist your instincts - look for “Surprising Successes”  

3. BUILD SOMETHING PEOPLE WANT - Tinker + Tinker = product-market fit. 

4. DO THINGS THAT DON’T SCALE - constrain yourself by Geography, Create INSANE case studies. REPEAT. 

5. CREATE A CATEGORY OF ONE: Zig when everyone Zags.

6. BE A MAKER NOT A MANAGER

What is HUNGRY.?

HUNGRY is THE podcast for Challenger FMCG & Hospitality Founders wanting to pour gasoline on growth.

We chat with the industry BIG HITTERS. We ooze out the HIDDEN success secrets they’ve never told before and dive deep into their gut-wrenching failures, so you avoid them.

We help you grow bigger, faster, stronger.

Over the last 6 years, we’ve chatted to some insane guests on the poddy:

Rory Sutherland, Seth Godin, Jamie Laing, Spencer
Matthews, Tom Kerridge, Sir John Hegarty,

The founders of SOHO House, TRIP, The Devonshire, Tony’s Chocolonely, Vita Coco

Look, I’ll be blunt,

HUNGRY is NOT your normal podcast.
HUNGRY is NOT scripted and sterile Q&A interviews.
HUNGRY is for pretty much no one.
HUNRGY is a deliciously fun, wild and crazy, ADHD rollercoaster of free flowing conversations.

got what it takes?
Buckle up. Strap in.
