What started as a way to sell some extra pumpkins out of a garage, Vincent Finazzo has turned Riverwards Produce Market into a community staple that is creating a better experience for his shoppers, his team, and the food industry at large.

In this episode, Vincent joins Sarah to discuss the decisions he’s made along the way as he grew Riverwards into what is now two locations with over 75 employees.

In this episode, Sarah is joined by Tyler Dawley of Big Bluff Ranch, to discuss all that he’s learned about running a commercial ranch over the years, and how he envisions the future of agriculture at large.

In this episode, Sarah welcomes Gwen Richardson to the podcast. Gwen is the Sales Director at Repurpose, a leading retail brand of sustainable disposable tableware, garbage bags and soft paper for the home. She cut her teeth in CPG with almost 10 years in the craft beer industry in Boston and the Bay Area before moving to Los Angeles and putting more focus into sustainability with her role at Repurpose.

Having held every outward facing sales position at Repurpose, from entry level sales manager to now Sales Director, Gwen’s experience growing through retail and negotiating with distributors has taught her so much. And now she wants to share those lessons with as many Founders as she can.
