The Proof with Simon Hill

In Episode #7, I spoke to Maya French, the co-founder of start-up company ‘Koia’. Koia produces plant-based beverages sold across the USA in thousands of stores, including Whole Foods. In this podcast, Maya shares how the Koia brand has developed since its inception, gives insight into how to raise funds for start-ups in this space, and provides an overview of her company structure. She also gives a glimpse into what it’s like to work with a major retail giant like Whole Foods. Anyone who is interested in start-ups and business in general will find this conversation interesting. It’s a tad shorter than my typical podcasts, but with some great take-home learnings.

In Episode #6, I spoke with Australian rules football champion Jobe Watson. Jobe captained Essendon Football Club for six years and won the Australian Football League (AFL) Best Captain award in 2012. Jobe’s career certainly had its highs and lows, and the most notable of those lows was no doubt the doping scandal he found himself in the middle of in 2016.In this podcast, Jobe opens up about his introduction to football, his early days at the Essendon Football Club as a youngster trying to forge his own path, the doping scandal, and the toll the entire saga took on himself, his family, and his teammates. Jobe is an incredibly down-to-earth and humble guy who speaks from the heart. He shares with us how he overcame what can only be described as an earth-shattering experience to come out the other side stronger, more motivated, and with a greater perspective on life.Enjoy, friends.SimonWant to support the show? The best way to support the show is to use the products and services offered by our sponsors.

In Episode #5 of The Proof podcast, I spoke with Peter Cervoni: a veteran of the food service industry with well over thirty years of proven, professional culinary experience in plant-based, health-supportive cuisine. Peter graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in 1993 and worked at some of New York City’s finest restaurants, including The River Café and La Côte Basque.

Since then, Peter has devoted all his talent and energy to plant-based and health-supportive cuisine, and in this episode, he shares his insights into how the plant-based food scene in New York has changed over the past two decades.
