During the course of a deep-dive interview, the founder and CEO of Modern Plant-Based Foods revealed some fascinating thoughts, ideas, and opinions.
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 28, 2021 / When journalist Andy Jacob approached founder and CEO of Modern Plant-Based Foods Tara Haddad about becoming the featured subject of a new professional profile, she agreed readily, eager to share the wisdom that she has accumulated from her experiences running a successful startup. The profile, which was conducted on behalf of an online periodical that concentrates on matters of business and entrepreneurship, addresses everything from how Modern Plant-Based Foods has changed its strategy to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic to some sage words of advice she would give to any aspiring small business owner.
At the outset of the profile, Tara takes the time to give a brief but comprehensive overview of her company, its core function, and how it is dealing with the unique current global business climate. "Modern Plant-Based Foods is a public company focused on bringing plant-based meat alternatives to the Canadian public," she remarks, elaborating, "Our company got its start in 2019, and we have had to make some significant changes to our business due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Where we had focused on providing plant-based meats to a restaurant market before COVID, we are now packaging and selling our products to home consumers throughout the country."
Later on in the interview, Tara Haddad is asked about some nuggets of wisdom she might like to impart to any would-be and future entrepreneurs in the readership, replying, "Always be flexible when you are planning a new business. If your business model has a little give in it, you will be able to stand up against the challenges that will inevitably occur. For example, Modern Plant-Based Foods had a rocky transition as the COVID pandemic was shuttering restaurants. We had to quickly pivot to producing foods for the grocery store and at-home sales market. This was one of the biggest challenges I have faced in my business experience, but I am grateful that we came out the other side with our business intact." Reflecting further, Tara adds, "Don't forget to look toward other businesses as an inspiration. If you have discovered that a competitor is doing something exciting, analyze their choices and decide whether they will be right for you as well. This is not to say that you should simply copy what your competitors are doing, because you want to be making exciting innovations to stay ahead. At the same time, you need to be aware of the business climate where you are working."
