What It Really Takes To Build a Food Bus...

Guy Raz | Wondery
About this episode

This is part two of our special series on building food businesses presented by Klaviyo. If you haven't heard part one from last week, go back and check it out.

In that episode, three founders of three different food brands – Becca Millstein from Fishwife, Brian Rudolph from Banza, and Caue Suplicy from Barnana – shared how they got their start.

Today, you’ll find out how these founders have grown their brands into category-defining businesses. You’ll hear about some challenging moments – and also strategic advice if you’re building your own business.


This episode was produced by Alex Cheng with music by Ramtin Arablouei. It was edited by John Isabella. Our audio engineer was James Willetts.

Our thanks to Klaviyo for sponsoring today’s episode.
