Welcome to You, Me & CPG - the podcast series that delves deep beyond the label and learns from the people behind the products.

We’re kicking the series off with a guest who’s no stranger to launch-day success, selling 10,000 bags of coffee on Top of the Mornin’ Coffee’s very first day of re-launch, earlier this year...

With a career steeped in entrepreneurial brand spirit underpinned with a restlessness and relentless for improvement, it’s a pleasure to welcome Hugh Thomas onto the series premiere as he shares the importance of empathy, leaning into fear, and dedication to your mission.
