This episode is a bit different, and it acts more of a conversation, but it’s a darn good conversation. I met Ronald talking on Shapr, a swipy-like app for business people and just to let you know, I get a lot more meetings on Shapr than the other ones and they’re productive as well. Ronald has been on TEDEx, he was an ex-magician, has done several media expenditures, web design work, and has a huge passion and curiosity in food So we talk a lot of cool stuff about food, but also take this as just a casual talk with two very creative people. We try and understand each other, and we do quite well I’d say. Think of this episode a bit differently, not just about the job Ronald has, but also his mindset, or his ability to create, pivot, and entertain. I’m excited for what Ronald has in stock for us and I hope after your interview, you do too. About Ronald Food tech entrepreneur. Online Marketing and Launch Event Specialist &amp; Amateur Magician. ;) Former Creative Marketing Strategist for The Red Group, LLC. In my consulting efforts I helped build brands online. More specifically, I consulted companies and coached experts on how to get started in creating their following online through education based marketing. Some past projects include TEDxCalicoCanyon, MagicMez, The Last Formula, and most recently The Foodbox. I've been given the opportunity to work with some amazing people over the years.

I know they have with me. They want clean-label sugar reduction because that’s the trend. And in addition to clean label, we need to follow the ever-changing FDA laws, meet low cost parameters AND create a product that tastes EXCELLENT – with no aftertaste issues. They want us to make magic happen. Who do they think we are - Houdini? Let me tell you who the real magicians are. Steviva Ingredients.
