from Tomorrow's Bites with Andrés and Sjacco · host Andrés and Sjacco

What do you do when a fire burns down your office and takes your brand story with it?In this episode of Tomorrow's Bites, we check back in with Andres Jara, Co-founder of Favamole, for another raw and unfiltered building-in-public update. Just one day after our last recording, a fire tore through Kitchen Republic, the shared workspace where Andres and dozens of other founders were building their companies. What was lost? Marketing materials, labels, and the narrative Favamole had been printing on boxes for months. What was found? A blank canvas, and the courage to finally tell a different story.We explore:Why losing everything in a fire can give you as well new opportunities as a startup.How Andres turned a crisis into community, and why hundreds reached out to support him.The pivot Favamole is making: from "alternative to guacamole" to something far bigger.Why simplicity is the hardest thing to build into a mission-driven food company.The "Law of Zunzu”, and how to actually win at trade shows.What masculine and feminine energy have to do with building a regenerative business.This episode is about more than a fire. It's about what you rebuild when you no longer have an excuse to keep telling the wrong story.Share this with a founder who needs to hear it!!🙏 LEAVE A REVIEW If you like our podcast please leave us a review on your favourite platform – even one sentence helps!
