Podcast: A Matter of Natural Selection
The market for natural and organic products has been gaining steam for years now, but all that growth means it’s not just enough to be passionate about your purpose.
On , Heather Kennedy—an instructor at Leeds and a former leader with Fresh Ideas Group and Whole Foods—talks about Boulder’s strength as a hub for this industry, shows the challenges being created by global forces, and offers advice for people thinking about entering the natural and organics space.
“A lot of these folks don’t have the business skills or training that really would make bringing that product to market a lot easier and more efficient,” Kennedy said. “It’s a tough, tough industry, with a lot of competitors.”
