Quotes
- "Now that we are moving away from plant-based everything and even some are predicting the return of dairy milk, I think it would be more the personalization component. Now that we understand how people with different body types or metabolism types could eat, I think it would be cool to say, what could that ultra-personalized meal be and how do you make it?" -Liz Seelye [08:43]
- “Envisioning that whole brand experience, and a lot of times, we will finish the positioning and then we'll move into, now, what does this mean for brand identity? What about the logo, website design, packaging, and menu strategy? So it's thinking holistically about it. And we like to say stay starry-eyed because you're envisioning what is the future and what's your place in it so that you can be helpful and the preferred option for guests?” -Liz Seelye [21:07]
