What’s Up With Rigidity? 

So, long story short, a copacker commented on my outfit the other day. 

It was an introductory virtual call. Nothing big. Just me interviewing a copacker to see if it made sense to onboard them onto the Comanufactured platform. 

The call ended with the manufacturer saying, “I see you wearing a Chicago Bears sweater and a hat, we expect a certain level of professionalism…” 

Um…I wasn’t interviewing for a job. I’m not your employee. I like wearing comfortable clothes. I like wearing hats. Why this bothers some folks is beyond me. 🤣

Friday Fun

With the help of ChatGPT I turned popular McDonald’s items into CPG products!

Check out the LinkedIn post here to see what people are saying! Would you try any of these?

That is all! 

Thank you for reading this new edition that I will pump out constantly. Don’t forget to sign up for Comanufactured and stay up to date on all of the shiny new copackers that I’m adding to the platform weekly.

Lastly - if you’re a copacker and want to get added drop me a note. There’s a small, one-time fee.
