(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nZahav Foods, backed by five-time James Beard Award winners Michael Solomonov and Steven Cook, launched restaurant-recipe hummus (Matbucha and Harissa) into U.S. retail, per PRNewswire.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if your founder has a named, verifiable reputation (chef, athlete, scientist, artist), print their name and their credential on the front label and in every retail conversation. Do not hide behind the brand — lead with the person. Retailers stock it faster. Customers pay more. You spend less on convincing anyone what makes you different; the credential does it. Use it visibly.\nWhat that means for you: Zahav could have hired a marketing agency to write a hummus story. Instead it hired Michael Solomonov — the actual person behind one of the most respected restaurants in the country. That's the whole play. If you have real founder credibility, do not bury it. Print it. Use it. Let it do the selling.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — PRNewswire: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/zahav-foods-debuts-restaurant-recipe-hummus-matbucha-and-hummus-harissa-at-stores-across-the-us-302886955.html.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
