“Launching a podcast is a natural step,” said Ross Wileman, senior vice-president of sales and marketing at Mission Produce. “As avocado consumption continues to increase, we noticed an opportunity to reach our customers and consumers through a podcast to promote an exceptional avocado experience and provide useful information.”
“For our first episode, we’re speaking with Ryan Griffin, one of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ quarterbacks, about his journey to the Big Game and testing his avocado knowledge,” Cortes said. “We’ll also discuss insights into avocado sales for one of the biggest avocado holidays of the year.”

“We look forward to creating valuable and entertaining content to bring expanded value to our marketplace,” said Denise Junqueiro, senior director of marketing and communications. “Our podcast will take from our almost four decades of fresh avocado experience to provide perspective on avocados and share the many stories that have yet to be heard.”
For the Love of Avocados is currently available for streaming on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Anchor, Breaker, Pocket Casts and RadioPublic. Listeners can contribute to the conversation on social media by using #FortheLoveofAvocados.
