## Resource

London food & drink development expert Grace Bryan , co-founder of CPG agency Juicy Brick, joins Coffee & Oysters with business tips on trend forecasting, founder lifestyle, and building innovative food & drink brands.

She compares UK vs US CPG scale and consumer behaviour, offers advice for UK brands entering the US, highlights “pinch me” moments like McDonald’s reaching out, and shares London favourites plus personal boundaries and tools like Dropbox, Canva, and LinkedIn. --- Steal Grace’s “stack” of recommendations (along with all guests) in the Coffee & Oysters Guide.
