    Aesop is one of my favorite brands. 11 years ago it was bought for $68M by Natura, a publicly traded Brazilian B Corp Today, LVMH and L’Oréal are each trying to acquire it for $2B. A 29x return for Natura, and more than half its market cap

    Ten years ago @sirkensingtons launched a better ketchup and we thought we’d stay focused on that product forever. This year, 2/3 of our business is mayonnaise. Push outside your comfort zone and let go of old narratives that restrict your identity. Experiment.

    You probably think CPG founders like me and @jurhyu are really predictable. Like we just walk around Target and point at our products for fun or something. Well, yes.

    As a sauce man, I can tell you there’s a simple reason why what you’re describing is harder than it sounds. Store bought sauces that aren’t refrigerated have to be: 1) Cooked at high temperature to kill any residual bacteria 2) High in acid to prevent developing pathogens

    #1 - Pachinko by @minjinlee11 This multi-generational historical fiction starting in Japanese colonial Korea was the most transportive book I read this year. A page-turning stunner. amazon.com/Pachinko-Natio…
