Welcome back to the podcast where we explore the creative process and innovation across industries. We’ve been on a global journey, speaking with authors, singer-songwriters, inventors, restaurateurs, and more—making virtual stops in Capetown South Africa, Queensland Australia, Milan, Italy, Santiago, Chile New York, and Miami. Today, we’re diving into the creative side of financial management in the food industry.

We’ll be discussing how proper financial structures can fuel business growth, identify hidden costs, and optimize cash flow.
