✨ Reflecting on True Professional Fulfillment ✨ Since joining DogPack full-time on September 16, I’ve already accomplished more than I did in years at previous companies. It’s incredible what you can build when you’re given trust, autonomy, and the tools to actually make things happen. No micromanagement. No arbitrary limits. Just a talented and genuinely kind team that values everyone’s unique skills. And it’s amazing what a difference that makes. For the first time in my career, I’m using all my skills and I feel like I’m in a place that truly values all these skills – SEO, web development, content creation, graphic design, and more – without restriction. DogPack is a place where contributing to someone else’s vision feels like a shared journey, not a task list. This shift has been more than motivating; it’s brought a real sense of pride and fulfillment. Reflecting on past roles, it’s hard not to think of all the times I was held back by limited budgets, “just because” management decisions, or unnecessary and outdated processes. It’s an experience so many of us know too well and it can be tough: knowing you have more to offer but feeling boxed in. The right environment changes everything. So here’s to workplaces that empower you to unleash your full potential, to finding work that’s not just a job, but a fulfilling journey. And here’s to the leaders who trust their teams, invest in their growth, and recognize the importance of real autonomy. Grateful to be part of this vision and excited for what’s to come. 🙏 Special thanks to Jonathan Punski, Dov Punski, Eric Punski, Aryeh Punski, Shani Danino and the incredible DogPack team. #CareerGrowth #Teamwork #Leadership #SEO #Fulfillment #ProfessionalDevelopment #Motivation

WE OWN THE KQOM We take ownership of our actions and responsibilities. Our third core value reminds us to take ownership of each one of our projects and tasks and to embrace accountability for our actions and decisions. Whatever the outcomes of those may be, positive or negative, we want to foster a safe space for everyone in our team to admit mistakes, share learnings, and grow a little more with each project that they take on. Vincent Kuehnhold, our VP of Operations, summarized: Everyone at buycycle is responsible for their actions and is aware of their ownership of a project or task. And everyone at buycycle can count on our team to have their backs. Taking responsibility guides us in our paths at buycycle and helps us find visionary solutions together, whenever something might not work how we wanted it to. We want to create a culture where everyone believes in the impact of their own projects and where conversations around those are open, honest, and enabling. This environment allows us to ensure freedom in our workflows on a daily basis and complete goals the way we think best. Because, after all, we at buycycle and our impact as a company are dependent on how every team member works towards our common goals. And for that to happen, we must take ownership. And we strive towards enabling each and every one of us to do so. #weownthekqom #lifeisaride #ridesmart #ourcompanyvalues

What’s next for BrewDog (and the beer category) as James Watt hands over the reigns of CEO?👨🏻💼 Love them or hate them, BrewDog are the biggest reason why we have much better access to much better beers than we did 20 years ago (their Jack Hammer and Cake Cartel beers are outstanding). So, credit where it’s due.🥇 Almost every brand benefits from timely changes in leadership though, and voluntarily entrusting that role to a successor is in itself a demonstration of good leadership.🔮 More Jack Hammer please.🍻 #beer #leadership #startup

As I look back on my time at Nettle, I’m struck by how much this journey has shaped me, pushing me to grow in ways I hadn’t anticipated. 🌱 Over the past few years, I’ve had the privilege of working on something truly unique in the world of plant-based organic fermented fine foods. From building partnerships with independent stockists to watching Nettle’s nut ferments break new ground in the dairy category, each experience has left a lasting mark on me. These milestones weren’t just company wins, they were defining moments that taught me about resilience, adaptability, and the power of a clear vision. I’ve learned to think like an innovator, navigating uncharted territory as we positioned nut ferments as an entirely new category. This journey taught me to see challenges not as roadblocks but as opportunities to push boundaries and rethink the familiar. I’ve discovered the impact of community, building relationships with my customers, and with stockists who care deeply about what they bring to their customers too. Working with them taught me the importance of storytelling, authenticity, and trust, qualities that resonate in any field and that I’ll carry forward in my next chapter. And I’ve grown as a leader, learning to advocate for Nettle’s values, while managing the delicate balance of quality, sustainability, and growth. It’s shown me that leadership is as much about conviction and principles as it is about strategy. As I reflect on these lessons, I feel ready for what’s next. My time at Nettle has equipped me with a skill set and a mindset I hadn’t fully appreciated until now, and I’m excited to explore where these skills will take me. In the coming days, I’ll be sharing more about the role I’ve played in helping Nettle achieve its successes and the values that have guided me along the way. Here’s to the journey ahead, shaped by all that I’ve learned and inspired by the people and partners who’ve made this experience so fulfilling. 💚 #PersonalGrowth #GrowthJourney #PlantBasedInnovation #LessonsLearned #NutFerments #NextSteps

#continuingopsjourney #culture #values #luckybs #hotchicken I was trying to complete a weekly update on my learnings, but as we all know in hospitality we never really stick to that time frame! We all get caught up in the moment and get carried along with the waves.. in my case, waves of #hotchicken. What I am enjoying is the excitement of building a new brand and learning about our core values, who we are and what we want to achieve. #toniDobrenko #GiancarloCelino have driven this concept now I am helping drive this in a direction, of our values and beliefs. This has been a new experience for me, and I have learned a lot of what my Values are and what I would like to achieve on my #luckybs journey. I always had joined a company before that all that already had been decided for you, but it has been refreshing in being able to have an input in which we build this from day one! #Values #whoweare #glasgow Continuing to work with the teams, discovering the talent that we have within our teams, that are passionate about #luckybs, they want to be best and they are proud to be part of #luckybs. Engaging and listening to the teams if they have any issues and realizing over the past few years I have picked up some knowledge, to help them find the solutions, that make it a better ops practice and then gain the trust of the team as you are helping them and making changes just like we promised. Next few weeks are more developing our brand, #socials #marketing what direction do we want to take it in, who is coming along on our #luckybsjourney??

New Development

**Learning and Growing with Meatington** Starting Meatington was a thrilling experience for our family. My brother, his wife, his daughter, and I were filled with enthusiasm and excitement as we embarked on this new venture. However, as with any new business, we encountered several unexpected challenges along the way. In our eagerness to get things rolling, we realized the importance of timing and sequencing in business operations. For instance, understanding the market needs and solidifying our product before assembling a dedicated sales and marketing team proved crucial. We also discovered the significance of managing expenses carefully, especially during the initial setup phase. This taught us valuable lessons about strategic planning and resource allocation. Additionally, navigating the market's perception of frozen foods required us to focus on educating consumers about the benefits of our products. We leveraged social media to highlight how frozen food can be as healthy, if not healthier, than fresh options. We also participated in fairs like Aahaar, where we engaged with the audience and the press, discussing the benefits of frozen snacks. These experiences have been invaluable learning opportunities, shaping Meatington into the brand it is today. They reinforced the importance of flexibility, continuous learning, and teamwork. What challenges have you faced in your journey, and how did you overcome them? Share your stories below! Ashutosh Malik Aashna M.
