Many founders dream of overnight success stories, but Giuseppe’s journey is more familiar to most entrepreneurs: His first startup, Ooze Drinks, failed. Inspired by the shocking reality of food waste, Giuseppe eventually gave the UK food industry a second go, and created a health snacks line using “wonky” produce, along with co-founder Claudio Owusu. A financial grant from Shell Energy of £5,000 and early success in the Supermarkets spelled the beginning of eventual success for Gusto Snacks.The relationships, missteps, and learnings from the first startup created the groundwork for his next venture.Enjoy the snippet.

Giuseppe shares his remarkable story of resilience—from his early days growing up as a Ghanaian-Italian in Italy, moving to the UK with barely anything, to hustling through countless odd jobs and eventually founding an award-winning food startup on a mission to fight food waste.You’ll hear firsthand about Giuseppe’s entrepreneurial journey, including his initial failed venture Whose Drinks, the lessons learned working night shifts at Tesco, and the pivotal moment that led to the birth of Gusto Snacks. With their unique approach of upcycling “wonky” fruits into delicious, sustainable snacks, Gusto has made waves—landing in major stockists like Amazon, WH Smith, and Selfridges, expanding into European markets, and saving over 70,000 units of fruit from landfill.Enjoy the episode 🙂📱 OUR SOCIALS AND WEBSITEWebsite: https://thesoundofaccra.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesoundofaccra/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thesoundofaccraTwitter: https://twitter.com/thesoundofaccraFacebook: https://web.facebook.com/thesoundofaccraLinkedin: https://gh.linkedin.com/company/the-sound-of-accra📧 CONTACTEmail: info[at]thesoundofaccra.com🔗 CONNECT WITH ADRIAN 👥 Linkedin ✉️ Email: adrian[at]thesoundofaccra.com🔗 CONNECT WITH GIUSEPPE AND GUSTO SNACKS👥 Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/giuseppe-baidoo-0b781b112/ 🖥️ Website: https://snackgusto.com/ 📱 instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gusto.snacks/ 🕙 TIMESTAMPS00:00 Intro06:33 Turning adversity into growth12:19 Giuseppe's Basketball Journey16:52 Balancing Work, Uni, and Business22:12 Ooze Drinks Strategy and Accountability29:36 Business Journey and New Beginnings37:09 Launching Gusto Snacks Amidst Pandemic40:20 Respect and Trust in Leadership44:01 Leadership Through Humility51:56 Fruit Snack Audience Target57:36 Gusto Snacks Startup Success58:44 Balancing Job and Business SacrificesKEY TAKEAWAYS: This episode is a candid masterclass in resilience, self-awareness, and building a mission-driven startup from the ground up.

Book a consultation -> https://thesoundofaccra.com/consultations Sign up to our newsletter for the latest podcast updates and subscriber-only bonuses and opportunities -> https://thesoundofaccra.com/newsletterIn this episode snippet, Cheryl Conquers expresses that Ghana has huge potential as a travel destination and describes it as the “new jewel of Africa,” especially with the recent rise of festivals and cultural events that appeal to a wide range of visitors. She says there’s something for everyone in Ghana and is planning to do a content trip there soon to highlight the country’s beauty from a more international perspective.However, Cheryl also observes that Ghana’s tourism board and social media presence are very localised, often focusing on content that resonates mostly with local audiences (like posts in local dialects or highlighting traditional foods and dances), rather than creating content that would attract international tourists. She compares this with destinations like Turkey, where tourism boards tailor their marketing and social channels to a global audience, making it easier for international travelers to envision and plan trips there.

She explains that tourism boards can often act as “gatekeepers” to opportunities like press trips and collaborating on travel campaigns. Working with these organisations can provide access to resources such as accommodations, flights, and in-depth local experiences that creators might not be able to organise independently.Cheryl also outlines several key steps for anyone looking to become a successful, full-time content creator:Define Your Why: Having a clear, personal reason for creating content (e.g., financial freedom, passion projects, giving back) is essential to stay motivated, especially during challenging timesPick Your Niche Thoughtfully: While some niche down too much and limit their opportunities, others go too broad and dilute their message. Cheryl recommends striking a balance, choosing a niche you’re genuinely passionate about and can sustain as a lifestyle.Ensure Your Niche Fits Your Lifestyle: Content creation is an ongoing process and part of your daily life, so pick a niche (like travel, wellness, or food) that feels natural and enjoyable for you.Diversify Your Income Streams: Don’t rely on just one way to make money. Cheryl highlights methods such as brand partnerships, sponsorships, affiliate links, social media management, and press tripsFocus on Engagement, Not Just Follower Count: Cheryl stresses that engagement rate is more valuable than a large following, as brands increasingly work with creators who have an active, loyal audience.Get this episode's show notes: https://thesoundofaccra.com/cherylWatch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/geCVmVXtlK4?si=dxVWUi_au-UyEqBg📱 ALL OUR LINKShttps://linktr.ee/thesoundofaccrapod📧 CONTACT US Email: info[at]thesoundofaccra.com🔗 CONNECT WITH ADRIAN 👥 Linkedin ✉️ Email: adrian[at]thesoundofaccra.com🔗 CONNECT with CHERYL📸 Instagram🖥️ Website ✉️ Email: info[at]cherylconquers.com🎙 ABOUT THE PODCASTThe Sound of Accra Podcast was established five years ago by Adrian Daniels in January 2020, on the back of running networking events in Accra and launching a failed online platform for Ghanaian tourists, visitors and business people.

With ambitions aligned towards Wall Street, Nana secured what many would consider a dream position in the financial district, a symbol of success for numerous young professionals. Yet, despite this promising start, Nana felt a strong pull to return to his home country and leverage his skills in a way that would benefit the people of Ghana.Driven by this underlying purpose, Nana made the bold decision to forgo the Wall Street path and returned to Ghana. Despite these achievements, Nana's heart yearned for a different challenge—agriculture.With passion and determination, Nana ventured into the agricultural field, focusing on cattle and maize farming. Sadly, these initiatives, despite his dedication, faced setbacks and ultimately failed in 2017.

In the heart of Ghana lies a school (Greatway Memorial Complex School) that once shone brightly as a beacon of hope for children seeking a better future. Founded by a mother, this school was more than just a place of learning—it was a sanctuary, a refuge where dreams took flight and possibilities seemed endless.But time, relentless and unforgiving, has taken its toll. The previous owner's health has deteriorated and the school she poured her heart and soul into has fallen into disrepair. It breaks hearts to witness the decline of a place that meant so much to a mother and to the countless children whose lives she touched. But amidst the decay, there remains a glimmer of hope—a belief that we can breathe new life into this cherished institution.Your contribution will aid in refurbishing the school in Accra , including replacing the roof and floor, acquiring new furniture, and granting underprivileged children the invaluable opportunity to access an education that has the power to shape their futures. Moreover, your support will enable the restocking of essential supplies and establish a secure, nurturing environment where children can thrive and grow. Every dollar you donate will directly impact the lives of these children, furnishing them with the necessary tools, resources, and opportunities essential for their success.Together, let's restore hope. Let's rebuild this school in Accra and ensure that it continues to serve as a beacon of light in the lives of these children. Your generosity can make a world of difference.Watch now on YouTube: https://youtu.be/TuI7lHb1VEUDonate to Greatway Memorial Complex School here: https://gofund.me/6d9ad7b4Our partnersStart a profitable business or community with Skool: https://thesoundofaccra.com/skoolFree Podcast course: https://skl.sh/2TRY0fN Start or uplevel a podcast: https://www.atozpodcasting.com Fresh Bread, Catering and Food Processing in Accra: https://ebatfoods.com/Catch up with The Sound of Accra PodcastWatch the entire Season 6 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttsE_fbriAE&list=PLJUVirAfWnNrspv9rftaEFDtEhBV_EFMgCatch up with Season 5 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnqpgGxTAXg&list=PLJUVirAfWnNoGiJNHHWm6aYTUUberuD5VListen to the podcast on other platformshttps://linktr.ee/thesoundofaccrapodSocial Media and WebsiteYouTube: https://youtube.com/thesoundofaccrapodcastWebsite: https://thesoundofaccra.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesoundofaccra/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thesoundofaccraTwitter: https://twitter.com/thesoundofaccraFacebook: https://web.facebook.com/thesoundofaccraLinkedin: https://gh.linkedin.com/company/the-sound-of-accraSupport the showhttps://www.paypal.me/gofundadGet in TouchWebsite: https://www.thesoundofaccra.com Contact: https://thesoundofaccra.com/contact Email: info[at]thesoundofaccra.comAbout The Sound of Accra PodcastOur mission is always the same, to promote Global Ghanaian excellence.
