In this podcast episode, I interviewed our special guest Phil Gorman, the founder of CPG Brains, an online marketplace connecting CPG brands with independent industry experts.
Phil shares his journey as a CPG brand owner and the challenges he faced in finding the right consultants and resources. He explains how CPG Brains aims to provide a platform for brands to connect with experts in various sectors, including sales and marketing, operations, finance, and e-commerce. The platform offers flexible and affordable options for brands to get real-world advice and support from experienced professionals.
We also explore the difference between the old world and new world approaches to business in the CPG industry. The old world approach is characterized by a focus on manufacturing, taking orders, and following processes, while the new world approach emphasizes problem-solving, getting things done, and building relationships.
We also cover the importance of knowing when to say no and being disciplined in business decisions is highlighted. Phil talks about the value of collaborations and partnerships as valuable strategies for growth and exposure.
Both Phil and I understand the significance of having experts and consultants who understand and care about your brand - in addition to having valuable advice that can save CPG brands time and money. They may also save the brand from making expensive mistakes.
CPG Brains has experts that covers a wide range of categories from financial, manufacturing, distribution, marketing, fundraising, sales, and more!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
