b"Ep.190: Alex (@aebridgeman) is joined by Felix Brooks-Church (@felixbc).\\nMy guest is Felix Brooks-Church, CEO of Sanku, which helps local mills across Africa produce fortified food, primarily flour, via their machines and technology.\\nFelix was introduced to me by David Dodson, co-founder and chairman of the board at Sanku. Sanku has a fascinating origin story, which includes a stint in Nepal, refining the technology, and is now a quickly growing enterprise that has required a ton of learning on Felix's part to adapt his role to the growing company. Felix and I talk about how he's adapted his role, leaning on the board for feedback and advice, sustaining growth, and building discipline.\\nListen weekly and follow the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Breaker, and TuneIn.\\xa0\\nLearn more about Alex and Think Like an Owner at https://tlaopodcast.com/\\n\\ufeffI want to tell you about our audience survey we are currently running.
