Angie Bastian & Gian Paul Gonzalez will address the 2021 CUNA Marketing & Business Development Council Conference
Angie Bastian & Gian Paul Gonzalez

When Angie Bastian studied the snack aisle in the grocery store, she noticed an important omission: No representation of women except for foods geared toward weight loss.

That led to a revelation: The decision to be loud and proud about celebrating the feminine.

This episode of the CUNA News Podcast features two keynote speakers from the 2021 CUNA Marketing & Business Development Council Conference, which takes place virtually March 23-25.

 

Bastian, the namesake of Angie’s Boomchickapop, transformed a garage popcorn business into one of the nation’s fastest-growing brands of natural popcorn. She shares lessons in effective branding and how she cut through marketplace clutter with an emphasis on female leadership and empowerment.

Public speaker and motivator Gian Paul Gonzalez discusses his philosophy of being "all in" and the power of commitment.

You can listen to the CUNA News Podcast in Apple's iTunes Store, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and Stitcher Radio.
