What does it really take to launch a food brand?
In this raw, honest conversation, BOL Foods founder Paul Brown breaks down the truth behind building one of the UK’s fastest-growing healthy food brands - from near-death experiences, to leaving a stable job at Innocent while his wife was pregnant, to halving the business overnight to go fully plant-based.
Paul shares:
- How he got his start at Innocent Drinks
- His biggest lessons from 15 years in FMCG
- Why funding is harder than most founders expect
- What every entrepreneur should know before pitching supermarkets
- Why getting on shelves is NOT success
- The strategic risk that changed everything for BOL
- What the future of healthy and natural food looks like
