What do hiring, podcasting, and great marketing all have in common? If you ask Daniel Torres Dwyer, the answer is the same: it’s about trust, not transactions.

Daniel wears a few hats—he’s the Co-Host of The FMCG Guys podcast and Director of Executive Search at Dwyer Partners—and at the heart of both roles is one thing: helping people find the right fit. Whether that’s matching a candidate to a role, a guest to a show, or a brand to its story.

In this episode, Daniel and Dave dig into:
- What makes an executive search successful (and why it’s not just about resumes)
- How to build long-term relationships that outlast any one transaction
- Why marketing—and creative storytelling—are regaining the spotlight in CPG
- What AI can and can’t do for recruiting and talent strategy
- Lessons from running 200+ podcast episodes and how that experience shapes Daniel’s approach to people and partnerships

Oh—and if you’re heading to ShopTalk Europe, stay tuned for Daniel’s local tips on where not to stay in Barcelona.

This one’s part career advice, part creative strategy, and all about how to connect like a human.
