Descripción

Startup culture loves one kind of ending: The glossy one. The big exit. The polished founder post dressed up as humility. But that is not how most businesses end. This week on Where the Dogs of Society Howl, we’re joined by Alison Cayne, founder of Haven’s Kitchen, founder of Choulie, and host of In the Sauce. Alison built Haven’s Kitchen from a Manhattan cooking school into a nationally recognized CPG brand in more than 5,000 stores. She’s also spent years talking with founders about the real side of brand-building, not just the version people post after a raise. Now, with Choulie, she’s building again with a sharper point of view and a different kind of clarity. We’re getting into: What it really took to build Haven’s Kitchen What happened when the company came to an end What Alison learned from an exit that was not the one startup culture glorifies What years of founder conversations taught her and what it means to build again with less fantasy and more truth Because the best founder lessons do not only come from the victory laps. Sometimes they come from what people usually edit out. This one is honest, sharp, and very real.

Where the Dogs Of Society Howl - Fuel The Machine

She drinks seven beverages a day and is building a company around the one that actually works. Vy Vo is the founder of SpaceTime, a performance drink built for the people who can't afford a crash. Founders. Traders. Engineers. Operators. People whose whole livelihood depends on staying sharp. She's in the CPG trenches. Real operations. Real supply chain chaos. Real fundraising conversations in a market that doesn't exactly hand money to physical product brands. Jeff Litcofsky 😂 and I sit down with her on Where the Dogs of Society Howl. We're going to look at what CPG actually costs you. The ops nightmares that don't make the pitch deck. The capital reality. The founder psychology that keeps you in the game when everything is telling you to quit. And yes. We're talking about all seven beverages.

Where the Dogs Of Society Howl - What Your Walls Know About You

Your living room is a confession. On this show we sit down with Dagmar Holub, founder of Interior Odyssey. Her path: an MA in History and Philosophy, teacher training that included state exams in Psychology and Pedagogy, then design school at KLC Chelsea Harbour, before project work and awards took over! Her thesis: home isn't a showroom. It's a mirror. Most people decorate around the parts they don't want to see. Sound familiar? Same fog I see in brands every week. Mixed signals. Buried proof. A storefront dressed up to hide what's actually inside. Maslow said normality is the biggest obstacle to growth. Dagmar applies that to floor plans. I apply it to brand identity. Same disease, different walls. We're talking power, conformity, identity, and what has to break before real change happens. Personal, funny, a little uncomfortable.
