I’m honored to be joined by food industry veteran, Elliot Begoun on today’s show, as we talk about the state of the industry, sixty days after the outbreak of COVID19 in the US.

In today’s podcast, we discuss:

  • How the industry is changing, and what we can expect moving forward

  • What the “valley of death” is, and how Elliot & TIG helps brands move through that.

  • Whether or not investors are still investing in at this moment, and what to do if you’re looking to raise money in the food industry right now

  • What brands SHOULD and SHOULD NOT be doing right now to plan for future success

Whether you’ve been having high sales these past few weeks, or are frustrated with your financials, tune in to this episode to hear some good news, some tough love, and some inspiration for moving forward.

Also mentioned on today’s episode was Edible Alpha (Tera Johnson’s) free 13-Week Rolling Cash Flow Worksheet. You can find it linked here.
