Lindsey Simpson shared thisTalk about a dream job that never feels like a job at all. The Globe and Mail just named Guests on Earth one of Canada's fastest-growing companies of 2026. I have a simpler name for it: a rocket ship to the moon. 🚀 So grateful to be a part of this amazing team. To echo the words of our fearless leader Jackie Prince...MORE TO COME!Lindsey Simpson shared thisI'm proud to share that Guests on Earth has been named one of Canada's Top Growing Companies of 2026 by The Globe and Mail's Report on Business magazine, ranking No. 17 with 2,192% three-year revenue growth. When we started Guests on Earth, the goal was simple: prove that home care products could be better for the planet without asking people to compromise on performance. We wanted to make cleaning and laundry more joyful and less wasteful, borrowing from beauty, personal care and wellness to bring superior design and experience to this category. Seeing that mission turn into real growth, from our DTC sales, retail expansion and Amazon, has been incredibly rewarding. Massive thanks to: → Our team, who bring relentless care and creativity to everything we make Sarah Spear Melissa Batchelor, MBA Lindsey Simpson Shelby Nicholson Holly Wiancko Cydney Laughton-Eagan Omar Morson → Our customers, who choose to do things a little differently every day → Our retail partners, who believed in us early and onward → Our investors, advisors and supporters, who have backed this vision MORE. TO. COME!!! [the full article will be available in Report on Business Magazine in The Globe and Mail this weekend] https://lnkd.in/gZUZ5rcY

Lindsey Simpson shared thisTalk about putting your money where your mouth is. Healthy Planet is making moves!Lindsey Simpson shared thisAhead of CHFA NOW Toronto this week, we wanted to share some news for Canadian brands. Healthy Planet is launching The Homegrown Grant: $1 Million in Healthy Planet media value, distributed across multiple emerging Canadian brands. Shoppers have made up their minds about buying Canadian. The brands they want are out there. What most of them lack is not a listing, it is the budget to get noticed once they are on the shelf. Think of this as incubation, retailer style. Recipients get in-store and online retail media from our own toolkit including product demos planned with our Marketing Team. Our Demo Discovery team will match their demo investment up to a set limit so shoppers taste and try the products, not just see them. Because more than 75% of our shoppers are in our loyalty program, every recipient will see what the media did for their sales, first-time buyers and repeat. Application guidelines, including eligibility and how to apply, will be shared in October 2026. If you are a Canadian founder in health, wellness, food or beauty and you are at CHFA NOW this week, come find us. We would like to hear your story. From here, life looks good. #HomegrownGrant #CHFANOW #BuyCanadian #CanadianBrands #RetailMedia

We were so honoured to be nominated to such a category, and now, to be shortlisted is incredibly meaningful 🥹💕.

Lindsey Simpson shared thisThere is nothing Charlotte Langley and NICECANS can’t do. Beyond excited to be on this 🚀 with the team. And for the record, you can be a sardine girl all year-round!Lindsey Simpson shared thisMassive thank you to Laura Brehaut and the National Post for diving deep into the tinned fish world with us 🍾 sardines, sustainability, and some of the origin story of NICECANS 💅💅 When I started this brand, the goal was never just “make a nice tin.” It was to build a direct-trade model that actually pays fishers fairly, to hold ourselves to Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) Chain of Custody standards, and to prove that “delicious” and “responsible” don’t have to be a trade-off, they’re the same decision. Getting to tell that story in a national outlet, and have it land, is the kind of validation that makes the 5am mornings and spreadsheet marathons worth it. Huge love to the team who make this brand run: Jacob Taylor Lindsey Simpson, Taheera Fidaali CPA, CA , and our friends at Brandsicle 💅 plus every advisor, retailer, and fan who’s helped Nice Cans grow from an idea into a boldly delicious movement.

Lindsey Simpson shared thisStarting a CPG brand isn’t a career choice, it’s a way of life. Miki Talebi is the ultimate masterclass in founder hustle. When you put in that level of relentless passion, the results speak for themselves. Case in point: a total sell-out last week at OOAK 💪 So proud to be a part of this journey. oomé SaleskindLindsey Simpson shared thisToronto, you showed up!!! ✨✨✨ We participated in our very first One Of A Kind Show this past Thursday - Sunday and ended the show in the best way possible - we SOLD OUT 🙌. Honestly, I was nervous to participate in this show. As much as I have heard incredible things, the investment in getting ourselves setup for this show felt like a lot: ✔️Arrange a pallet of perishable product to be shipped over ✔️Refrigeration, which then meant… ✔️Twenty-four hour electricity ✔️Long hours (long as in 10am-11pm on day 1!) ✔️And a lean, dedicated team to sell sell sell. I’m so grateful to J our marketing manager and Sheena, my closest friend who volunteered her time 🥹❤️. But the wins we gained from this far outweighed the risks. For me, this was a marketing opportunity. An opportunity for brand awareness and exposure to a community that we are still new to and trying to gain solid footing into. Time after time consumers came up to us saying they recognized the packaging and have been curious to try it. Well, they tried it and the feedback was incredible🤸♀️. It never gets old seeing people light up after tasting our smoked tofu. It reaffirms that we are filling a gap for consumers and making tofu more accessible to more people. The best part? People now know where they can shop to make repeat purchases. Toronto and the surrounding communities showed up for us in such a big way and let us know that we have something with oomé . Truly, thank you ☺️🙏. #smallbusiness #cpg #marketing #ooak Sana Talebi

Lindsey Simpson shared thisAnd we need to talk about it more. It isn’t about whether or not you have a good product. It’s about making sure the math works to keep it alive.Lindsey Simpson shared thisYou buy a $7 sauce at Whole Foods. The founder gets $0.62 to run her entire company. Haven's Kitchen had 1,500 stores. Strong sales. A product people loved and rebought. A NEXTY-nominated new line. 12 years of work. In August 2024, she was on camera talking about growth. In January 2025, she posted on LinkedIn that it was over. Not because the product failed. Because of math. Retailer takes 40%. Distributor takes 22%. Then slotting fees, trade promos, broker fees, cold chain freight. By the time everyone gets their cut, there's almost nothing left. She saw it coming. By mid-2024 she was already saying "without cheap capital, experimenting isn't easy right now." She was raising. The raise didn't close. She let her team go with plenty of notice and severance. Wound it down before the money ran out, not after. Then she wrote something on LinkedIn: "The founders who sold for millions and the founders who shut down often have more in common than either group admits. The difference is frequently timing, capital, and luck. Not talent. Not effort. Not worth." 2024 was the year CPG investors called "our Darwinian moment." Dozens of indie brands died the same quiet death. This isn't a failure story. It's a math story. I wrote the full autopsy.

Lindsey Simpson reacted on thisLindsey Simpson reacted on thisThe coolest takeaway from this year’s CHFA? 🤭🏄🏼♀️ Not having to explain our product a billion times 😂 THIS YEAR WAS DIFFERENT. People knew the brand. 👯♀️ People knew the product. ☕️ People knew what we were about. 🥰 We didn’t have to spend the weekend convincing everyone that bone broth in your hot chocolate is, in fact, a thing. This shift felt HUGE. It took us three years to get here. Three years of showing up, educating, sampling, selling, explaining, re-explaining, and building Beck's Broth one conversation at a time. And this year, we finally felt it. We earned our spot at the table. 🥹🤍 If you’re a new and emerging brand, keep showing up babies!!!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 Canadian Health Food Association Propel Natural Brands Purity Life Health Products LP Domenique Mastronardi 🏔️☕️ #cpg #emergingbrands #productinnovation

Lindsey Simpson reacted on thisLindsey Simpson reacted on thisThis is where it really started for me on LinkedIn. 🍫 Back in January 2024, I shared my first big Tony's Chocolonely display. At the time, I was simply sharing something I was proud of. I didn’t expect the attention that post would receive or that it would encourage me to keep sharing more of the displays and ideas we were creating. Fast-forward to today, and we’re back with Tony’s again — only this time we’ve taken things to another level. Looking through the photos from that original display to the latest one, it’s pretty amazing to see how the ideas have evolved. The displays have changed. The scale has grown. And I’ve learned a lot along the way. What hasn’t changed is having great people willing to support an idea and help bring it to life. A big thank you to Jim Michalopoulos Valerie Winder Vlora Salihi for the continued support and for always being willing to think outside the box with me. And this isn’t stopping with one display. 7 more stores will be popping up this week with smaller-scale Tony’s displays of their own. 🍫🌈 Very grateful for what that first display started and for everyone who has followed along, supported the ideas and encouraged me to keep pushing the creativity. January 2024 ➡️ September 2026. Still crazy about chocolate. Still thinking outside the box. #TonysChocolonely #Retail #Merchandising #VisualMerchandising #RetailDisplays #GroceryRetail #BrandActivation Longo's Marsham Natural Products Broker Dusan Vujovic Canadian Health Food Association Canadian Federation of Independent Grocers Hive Retail Solutions LinkedIn

Peacock Tariff Consulting
Section 338 covers a lot more than alcohol, dairy and automobiles. The new 50% additional tariff on certain Canadian-origin goods reaches products across a wide range of industries. Some examples of products included in the Section 338 tariff lists include certain: • Beer, wine and spirits • Cheese and other dairy products • Furniture and furniture components • Lumber, wood products and plywood • Paper and paper products • Plastic products • Cement and building materials • Clothing, textiles and footwear • Hockey equipment and sporting goods • Fishing equipment • Household and consumer goods • Industrial products and components • Chemicals and manufactured goods And this is only a high-level snapshot the official Section 338 annexes contain extensive lists of affected HTS classifications. The key takeaway: don’t assume you’re unaffected because you aren’t in the alcohol, dairy or automotive industries. Section 338 exposure is determined at the HTS classification level, and products completely unrelated to the three trade disputes can still be subject to the additional tariff. If you’re exporting Canadian-origin goods to the U.S., reviewing your HTS classifications against the Section 338 lists should be a priority. Peacock Tariff Consulting can help identify affected products, quantify potential exposure and evaluate compliant tariff mitigation opportunities. 📩 info@peacocktariffconsulting.com #Section338 #Tariffs #CanadaUSTrade #Manufacturing #CustomsCompliance #TariffMitigation #PeacockTariffConsulting
