ON THE NEWS AGAIN...
Michael on the air speaking about his work with coconut cheese production
The videos I took of Michael's 2nd television interview sadly are upside down and very poor sound quality which is unfortunate as he spoke so eloquently as he explained the challenges and processes his team is working through supporting the coconut cheese industry. Now he knows why I always repeated my dad's own words: "Slowly, clearly, and distinctly." You'd never know that this young man started a speech preschool the day he turned 3 and was in an intensive special program for 2 years followed by 5 more years of speech therapy. Young moms, take heart. Stay the course and it works out!
I learned most of what I now know about his work from this interview, so I wish you could hear it! So far Michael's team has worked with 67 small producers of coconut cheese, which is a product more like fudge than cheese. I've heard that often the production is done at home with old family recipes. The key areas Michael and his team are currently addressing are: packaging, machinery, labeling, exporting, and increasing the scale of operation. I'll let Michael explain more about his work and the industry in one of his own blog posts.

Just for the fun of it, watch the (silent) quick clip below to see what he was like in action.
