What does it really take to launch a food brand?
In this raw, honest conversation, BOL Foods founder Paul Brown breaks down the truth behind building one of the UK’s fastest-growing healthy food brands - from near-death experiences, to leaving a stable job at Innocent while his wife was pregnant, to halving the business overnight to go fully plant-based.

Paul shares:

  • How he got his start at Innocent Drinks

  • His biggest lessons from 15 years in FMCG

  • Why funding is harder than most founders expect

  • What every entrepreneur should know before pitching supermarkets

  • Why getting on shelves is NOT success

  • The strategic risk that changed everything for BOL

  • What the future of healthy and natural food looks like

If you’re a founder, a foodie, or someone who cares about health, this is one of the most important episodes you’ll watch this year.
