Über diesen Titel

 The Fearless Foodie (formerly, Oh For Food's Sake) is a space for honest chats, practical tools, and the reminder that being fearless doesn’t mean having it all sorted – it means feeling the fear and doing it anyway. Especially when the industry we love often feels like it’s breaking us. If that speaks to you, have a listen. And if it hits home, rate, review, and share it with your work besties or the team WhatsApp. Because your voice matters. And fearless starts with you. Be Bold. Be Brave.

  • Creating an Innovation Culture: What Food Leaders Must Know

    Creating an Innovation Culture: What Food Leaders Must Know
    Jan 20 2026

    What is true innovation and why does it matter?

    Nell Masey O Neill and Amy Wilkinson get painfully honest about how “innovation” gets thrown around everywhere in the food industry, but rarely means what it should. Nell breaks down the difference between real innovation and the kind that just ticks boxes, sharing her experience as a nutritional biochemist who’s been in the technical, research, and leadership hot seats.

    The discussion peels back what keeps big businesses stuck on the safe, short-term stuff—process, control, reporting—and why it’s startups and agile teams who seem to get the “fun” jobs of game-changing innovation.

    But, as both speakers remind us, saying yes to true innovation isn’t just for the tiny disruptors. The episode is jammed with tools and mindsets for traditional companies and leaders who want to create cultures that are brave enough to try, fail, and actually learn.

    Want to know why collaboration goes beyond sitting in the same room, and why mastering “real talk”—including giving feedback, pausing to reflect, and really listening—makes all the difference?

    They cover it all, sprinkling in the practical: from small daily habits to building reflection into your team’s routine, and why a little courage (and a lot of honesty) goes a long way.

    If you’re sick of innovation theatre and ready for something that actually moves the needle, you’ll feel seen, and walk away with real steps you can start today.

  • Women in Food: Leadership, Data and What Needs to Change

    Women in Food: Leadership, Data and What Needs to Change
    Jan 13 2026
    We kick off with Laura’s backstory - how a proud northerner with zero agri-food experience stumbled into a decades-long love affair with the meat industry.Laura and Amy get real about how people often have no idea about the breadth of careers in food, or the quirks that make this industry so colourful. Laura opens up about launching Meat Business Women as a safe, supportive network for women in meat and food manufacturing.Both dig into the practicalities - why so many women struggle to prioritise networking and personal development, and how the ready-made community of MBW makes it less awkward (and, frankly, a lot more effective).We also explore the bold vision behind the Food Business Charter, pushing for 40% female representation in meat and food manufacturing by 2035, and what it means for businesses of all sizes. Laura shares how collecting and leveraging robust data isn’t just a tick-box exercise but a way to actually move the needle - unlocking challenges faced by both women and men and creating more flexible, inclusive workplaces.Finally, Laura opens up about stepping back operationally to make space for new leadership at MBW, the challenge (and relief) of handing over her “first baby,” and moving forward as an executive coach and consultant - proving that personal growth and change really are a lifelong journey.If you’ve ever felt like an imposter, questioned how to progress in food, or just needed a nudge to prioritise yourself, this episode brings comfort, practical strategies, and permission to hit “pause” and reflect on your own journey.
