Episode Transcript

[00:01.7]
Hello everyone. I hope you're all well. Welcome to this 30 Days podcast challenge. So what is all about? Every day, like the name suggests, in November, I will post short podcast episodes.

[00:16.9]
So roughly about 5 to 10 minutes. They are quick to digest and straight to the point. So you can listen to them everywhere. If you're driving, obviously be careful when you're driving, if you do the washing up, if you're under the shower.

[00:33.1]
So they are quick and easy. This is a challenge for me because I don't know if you noticed, but I am not usually straight to the point. My brain works with a lot of details and I know that it's not. Not everyone has the same brain.

[00:49.2]
So this is a challenge for me, not only to post every day, but also having something that is much more shorter, straight to the point. So that's the first reason why I do this, challenge, but also to increase the visibility of the podcast.

[01:06.9]
And for that I also need you and your help on sharing the words about the podcast, on liking and leaving a good reviews on commenting and tell me, what you want to hear in the, the podcast.

[01:22.0]
I'm here to listen to your, your feedback, your comments, your topic ideas. I want really to target this podcast for you. So if you are a food and drink business owner, I want to know what your struggle is in terms of product development and flavors.

[01:42.6]
So some ideas of topics we're gonna cover in this November challenge will be how to choose the flavor for your food and drink project, what to do when your food or drink product have very bad reviews online, especially because of taste.

[01:58.8]
So is it anything around packaging? I may not be able to help you, but if it's about how the product tastes like, it's about flavor, it's about sweetness. Flavor profile. I'm here to help you. I will also share my journey, and when I started, from working in a flavour house and working brands like Mcvities, so, so starting from an employee and becoming a solopreneur and independent consultant and how that completely, changed my life for the best.

[02:32.1]
So it's also about my journey, my journey being in the food industries and my views in the food industries as well. And I will share with you some food trends. I also see at the moment where things are, things are going and things like that. So I will try to touch on a lot of topics and that's why I need you to tell me, oh, yeah, I want to learn more about this.

[02:52.9]
Yeah, that is maybe a little bit less interesting for me and things like that. So I hope you're Gonna enjoy this 30 days challenge with me. I am very, very excited. I don't know if you can hear in my voice, I do love a good challenge, and that is definitely gonna be a challenge.

[03:10.3]
