In this episode we are joined by entrepreneur Andy Shovel, co-founder of meat-free food brand THIS. A self-confessed former KFC addict who ran a burger company, Andy turned his business acumen to building one of the biggest meat alternative brands in the country. 

In this episode, Andy and Rachel discuss: 

  • How he built the THIS brand from a startup to a thriving business available in most major supermarkets, including explaining the genius behind THIS’s creative marketing 
     
  • The new technology he’s investing in which will ‘sex’ eggs to prevent male chicks from being born into the egg industry 
     
  • His gripes with the vegan movement and why we should stop focusing on trying to achieve perfection
