109. Thinking BIG and Making It Happen with Monique & Chevalo Wilsondebriano
b'
Sometimes you need to let yourself dream and think big. Instead of letting other people tell you how things work and why you can\\u2019t do something, it can pay off to look at things from a new perspective. It helps, of course, to have a great story, which is something that brand strategy work can really help with.
Today on Episode 109 of the Real Food Brands Marketing Podcast, Host and Food Brand Strategist Katie Mleziva sits down with Monique and Chevalo Wilsondebriano, owners of Recipe for Retail and the Charleston Gourmet Burger Company. We\\u2019ll learn how thinking BIG took them from a backyard BBQ...to a food business idea...to a product...to a brand that\\u2019s on the shelves of Whole Foods, World Market, Costco, Wal-Mart, and more...to winning QVC\\u2019s Choice Food Award.
