When the business plan fails, the vision prevails - by Randy Olsen
Drawing on a series of entrepreneurial endeavors — building an organic food company, launching a distribution business from scratch, and co-founding a $122 million public aquarium that more than one expert swore couldn't be done — Randy shares practical examples and tools, grounded in real life, for the three qualities no plan can teach: the audacity to imagine the impossible, the perseverance to keep going when everything says quit, and the creative confidence that takes you beyond the original vision, for founders ready to build something the plan never saw coming.
Founder, manufacturer, distributor, brand builder, mentor. Randy Olsen has played nearly every role in the food business, and he's learned the same lesson from all of them: the founders who succeed are the ones willing to adjust and adapt to what the business is telling them it wants to be.
Join to learn about more on Randy's point of view on audacity, perseverance, and creative problem-solving for food founders.

The monthly World Food Center Drinks are an opportunity to meet the companies and people working here, make new connections, exchange ideas and discover what is happening across the campus and the wider Food Valley community.
The World Food Center brings together companies, entrepreneurs, knowledge institutions, investors, government and other food system stakeholders, creating an environment where ideas, knowledge and opportunities can connect. With food and innovation at its core, the WFC is part of a wider Food Valley ecosystem that connects the Netherlands to the international food and agri-food community.
There are about 85 companies operating on the World Food Center campus, located in the heart of Europe’s Food Valley in the Netherlands, close to Wageningen University & Research.
