From FMCG to Small Business: Nadine Maggi's Journey with Sweet Freedom
Manage episode 462830350 series 2798978
This week my guest is Nadine Maggi, managing director of Sweet Freedom—a brand known for creating healthier food products. Sweet Freedom began in 2009 with two women on a mission to tackle the harms of refined sugar. Their first product, an innovative fruit syrup made with apples and carob, kickstarted the brand's success and led to a range of healthier products now found in major supermarkets.
If you're working on your own product, this episode is packed with practical advice. Nadine breaks down the long but rewarding journey of getting products into stores, how to highlight what makes your product stand out, and why accelerator programs can be game-changers. She also dives into how to connect with consumers by telling a compelling story and showcasing health benefits in ways that resonate with today’s shoppers.
There are also some great tips on building resilience, creating a strong team culture, and spotting trends to design products that meet real needs.

If you've been inspired to start a podcast in 2024 then I recommend my podcast host, Captivate. They were my top pick when I started 4 years ago because of how easy it was for a complete novice to get started. I’ve stuck with them because it’s still simple, they keep adding great new features (like the ability to share ads like these!) and it’s been so reliable.
