I've got to say, wizes: I'm a little bit nervous to share this episode. While we typically focus on directly CPG-related topics here on the Food Biz Wiz podcast, I'm going to talk about taking rest unapologetically in our business journey. Though you've likely heard me mention the importance of rest, I'm coming to you vulnerably as a reformed workaholic! You'll hear me discuss...

  • My relationship to hustle culture and how it might relate to your work ethic as well
  • How we can recognize our relationship to hustle culture and burnout so that we can stay rooted in our own business motivations
  • Why we don’t have to see rest ONLY as a means to increased productivity
  • And my 2024 challenge & your invitation to stay connected with it!

Wizes, I’m SO thrilled to commit to this 2024 challenge. If you’re interested in following along in my Rest Report, then make sure to sign up at our site here. Be sure to also check out our full show notes here, where we’ll add more podcast episodes on the topic of rest and mental health.

One more thing here…if you’ve been on the fence about joining Retail Ready®, our program for CPG brands who want to land on more shelves and increase their sales, then now is the time to join! We know savvy brands who join now want to have a solid pitching and selling plan in place come January…but they also want time to take a break during the holidays without feeling the guilt. That’s why we’re giving brands who join before year end extended access through March 31st. Give yourself the gift of a game plan for January, plus the ease of knowing you’ll have extra time in March to kick off your new year. Check out our full information here!
