Corporate executive turned entrepreneur Robert Dean takes us behind the scenes of his journey with Naturals2Go, revealing how he's transforming the outdated vending industry into a tech-forward healthy food revolution. Learn how his frustration with stale chips and broken dollar slots evolved into a multi-unit operation that's changing what consumers expect from unattended retail.


WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER

  • How Robert identified a massive gap in the vending market by focusing on quality, healthy options when competitors wouldn't
  • The unexpected tech revolution happening in vending—from AI-powered inventory management to cashless payment systems
  • Why unattended retail is becoming one of the fastest-growing segments in the franchise industry
  • The specific challenges of scaling from one machine to a multi-unit operation
  • Real numbers on startup costs, time to profitability, and key performance indicators in modern vending


WHY LISTEN NOW

The unattended retail space is experiencing unprecedented growth, with healthier options and advanced technology converging to create opportunity. Robert provides the insider perspective from someone who's already succeeding in this evolving industry.

"I saw broken machines serving stale junk food everywhere I traveled in my corporate career. The opportunity wasn't just to fix a problem—it was to completely reimagine what vending could be." — Robert E. Dean


ABOUT OUR GUEST

Before becoming a multi-unit Naturals2Go owner, Robert spent decades in corporate America, experiencing firsthand the limitations of traditional vending. Now he operates a fleet of next-generation machines that serve premium, healthy options through an experience that feels more like a micro-market than old-school vending.
