In this episode the guys are spilling the beans (and a little sauce) on the most common mistakes that they see time and again from new food and drinks brands entering the industry.
From trying to please everyone (spoiler: you can't) to underestimating timelines (it always takes longer than you think), they've got the inside scoop. Plus, they'll serve up advice on everything from supplier negotiations to making sure your product and brand are a match made in heaven.
