Talking Shiitake
My mission is to help make our food system healthier, more sustainable and ethical. In a market where consumers are making more informed decisions about the food they buy, I believe that food businesses catering to these needs will be the most successful. I’m Michael Fox, CEO and Co-Founder of Shiitake mushroom company Fable Food. For years I’ve been obsessed with our food system. Welcome to my podcast where I Talk Shiitake with successful chefs, food industry executives and entrepreneurs to learn about what’s lead to their success in the food industry.

Rolf Weber of Marley Spoon. Building a $220M, publicly listed food company providing millions of meals for Australians.
In today’s episode of Talking Shiitake I speak with meal kit company Marley Spoon Australia’s Co-Founder and CEO Rolf Weber. Rolf and I first met nearly 15 years ago when we were both in the fashion industry and I actually interviewed him for my blog back then! We’ve both moved from fashion into food and this was a reunion of sorts. It was fascinating to hear from Rolf his journey into food, including the highs and lows of managing Marley Spoon through COVID where they saw a huge spike in sales for meal kit deliveries and how his role has changed as he’s grown an incredible business from 0 to $220m in revenue.
