Welcome back to the Duck Pond Podcast, where we dive behind the scenes with founders, creatives, and forward-thinkers to uncover what it really takes to get a product onto store shelves, from branding and packaging to the grit of distribution and everything in between.

Today we’re got Marco Biscarini, co-founder of Vibrant Meals, the Chattanooga-based meal-prep brand that’s on a mission to make healthy eating easy, accessible and chef-crafted. Marco and his wife Romana blended her background in high-performance meals for athletes with his tech-ops experience to build a ready-to-eat meal service that delivers fresh, scratch-made meals with no compromises.

We’ll dig into:

• How Vibrant Meals positions itself in the functional food / healthy lifestyle space real meals, not frozen, designed for busy people who still care about taste and quality.
• The jump from concept to scale: recipe development, packaging, delivery logistics and how they went from kitchen to growth during covid of all things.
• The challenges of staying “chef-crafted, clean eating” while scaling: sourcing, operations, team culture and staying true to mission.
• Marketing, subscriptions, retail and how they’re redefining convenience meals without sacrificing flavor or values.
