From ADM Merchandiser to Global Chocolate Company

In this episode of the BulkLoads Podcast, Jared Flinn sits down with Scott Walker, a former ADM grain merchandiser turned entrepreneur, to share his journey from the world of bulk commodities to launching a global chocolate company. Scott discusses how his background in ag logistics and risk management laid the foundation for building a high-quality chocolate brand that now sources from Latin America and ships worldwide.

He shares valuable insights on supply chain transparency, sustainability, and how principles from the grain trading world—like building strong relationships and managing volatility—translate directly into the food industry.

Whether you're in freight, ag, or food manufacturing, Scott’s story reveals how deep industry knowledge and bold decision-making can drive unexpected success.
