"Do not underestimate the power of in-person experiences." As someone who works with a lot of digital media, I cannot emphasize this point enough. I'm taping it to my wall, sharing it with my team, my clients and anyone looking at their phone when they should be smelling the roses (or Farmshelf fresh herbs). ❤️ Jean-Paul Kyrillos #media #advertising #marketing
When I started at Farmshelf I was a latecomer to the start-up world. I had already had a successful career in magazine publishing—Travel + Leisure (yeah, you read that right 😃). Thrust into a sea of VC acronyms like PMF, MVP and DFM, I wanted to call bullshit and just get these people to speak English. But they hold the pursestrings, so you have to play their game. As I look back at our successes, trials and tribulations, I thought I would share some stories, and perhaps wisdom, of how we got to where we are today. Let’s go back to close to the beginning. This is our first beta with Noma cofounder Claus Meyer at The Great Northern Food Hall in Grand Central Station. I guess that was our MVP-minimum viable product-you see what I did there?! To this day, Grand Central was our most visible Farmshelf showcase. Do not underestimate the power of in-person experiences. Stay tuned for more #FarmshelfDiaries

Creator of The RegenNarration podcast, PM Award for service to the international community, UWA Fellow & 5th gen Aussie among ancient Country & cultures
I had the pleasure of sitting down with David Bronner, the Cosmic Engagement Officer (CEO) of the famed Dr. Bronner's, whose life story is as rich and foamy as the company's iconic soap. In some ways, there's no one I wanted to speak with more right now. Since David became CEO in 1998, the company has grown from $4 million in revenue to well over $100 million, and all while continuing to change so much about the systems and stories we live by. In recent times, they’ve co-founded #Regenerative Organic Certification with Patagonia, Rodale Institute and others, setting a whole new standard of global supply chain #transformation. And here today David announces a new upcoming initiative called the #Purpose Pledge, which follows on from last week’s conversation on regenerative finance with Esther Park uncannily well. But what really had me wondering, as I approached Bronner’s Californian HQ, was how David feels about the iconic All-One company ethos and legacy, 76 years in, given the state of the world today. Having emerged from the tragedy of the Holocaust, at the hands of David’s inspired grandfather Emanuel, and knowing that amongst the company’s trailblazing regenerative #supply chains are communities in both Palestine and Israel, this was a profound opener to our conversation. You can find it on ep 207 of The #RegenNarration podcast this week. With thanks to Kelly F., Lilia Letsch, Garrison Goode, Brennan Ziegler, Cassidy and everyone at Bronner's HQ for the warm welcome and wonderful tour, and to Melissa Hodge back home at Bronner's Australia. https://lnkd.in/gBvyUWtA
