By using breadfruit—a tropical superfood—as its primary ingredient, Mutiny Island Vodka addresses two pressing global challenges: poverty and climate change.Todd, a chef turned entrepreneur, explained how breadfruit transforms lives in tropical regions. “One breadfruit tree will feed a family of four for life,” he noted, emphasizing its nutritional and economic potential. In regions plagued by food insecurity and poverty, breadfruit provides not only sustenance but also economic opportunities. Farmers can grow breadfruit to feed their families, sell it locally, or export products like breadfruit flour. Mutiny Island Vodka incentivizes the planting of these trees, creating a sustainable cycle of economic growth and environmental restoration.Breadfruit's environmental benefits are equally impressive. Todd highlighted, “Breadfruit trees sequester hundreds of tons of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and they're long living.” Unlike annual crops like wheat or corn that require replanting, breadfruit trees thrive for decades, continuously bearing fruit while pulling carbon dioxide from the air.Mutiny Island Vodka, the world's first vodka made from breadfruit, is more than just a spirit—it's a movement. The company's partnerships with organizations like the Trees That Feed Foundation amplify its impact. For every bottle sold or investment made, a breadfruit tree is planted in a region that needs it most. This initiative not only addresses food security but also serves as a scalable climate solution.Todd and his team are currently raising funds through a regulation crowdfunding campaign on Start Engine. This capital will help expand production and distribution, bringing Mutiny Island Vodka to more people and creating even greater impact. Todd shared his ambitious vision: “We are set on becoming a household name...better cocktails, better planet.”Todd's innovative approach and commitment to making a difference demonstrate how business can be a force for good. Mutiny Island Vodka isn't just a drink—it's a tangible example of how ingenuity and purpose can tackle global challenges. Those interested in supporting this mission can explore the opportunity to invest and join the effort to fight poverty and save the planet, one sip at a time.tl;dr:Mutiny Island Vodka uses breadfruit to fight poverty and climate change while producing award-winning spirits.Breadfruit trees provide food security, economic opportunities, and carbon sequestration in tropical regions.Mutiny Island Vodka is raising funds via regulation crowdfunding to expand production and impact.Todd's superpower, caring, drives his work and fosters a network of trust and collaboration.During the pandemic, Mutiny produced hand sanitizer for frontline workers, showcasing care and ingenuity.How to Develop Caring As a SuperpowerTodd's superpower is his genuine care for others. He explained, “I think my number one superpower is I care.” This deep empathy fuels his work and draws like-minded people into his orbit, fostering a network of trust and collaboration. Todd elaborated, “When you find someone else that has that same superpower, you tend to really latch on to them...having that is just incredible.”Illustrative Story:During the pandemic, Todd noticed that the Virgin Islands had no hand sanitizer for hospitals, police, or frontline workers. Leveraging Mutiny Island Vodka's resources, his team began producing sanitizer using breadfruit-derived alcohol. This act of care not only met the community's critical needs but also helped sustain the business during a challenging time.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Practice listening actively by using “two ears and one mouth” to understand others better.Reframe negative thoughts or words into positive, solution-oriented language.Cultivate empathy by considering what others might be experiencing.Surround yourself with like-minded, caring individuals to foster collaboration and trust.By following Todd's example and advice, you can make caring a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileChef Todd Manley (he/him):CEO, Mutiny Island VodkaAbout Mutiny Island Vodka: Our company was founded to produce the World's first, Island Vodka, hand crafted with breadfruit, Mutiny Island Vodka.

What even IS a breadfruit? How do you cook it? Why have Pacific Islanders grown it for so long? Can it solve world hunger? And what does it have to do with an infamous 18th century mutiny on the high seas? Pack your bags and hop aboard for not one but two island excursions to learn all about this rev-u'lu-tionary tropical staple. We start on a breezy Catalina Island dock to hear about the ethnobotany and ecobiology of breadfruit from Dr. Noa Kekuewa Lincoln before making our way to a farm tucked away on Hawaii's Big Island for a tour from research assistant and PhD candidate Dolly Autufuga. On the itinerary: learning where it grows to planting one in your backyard to what's that white sticky stuff and how do you make sure it doesn't drop on your noggin?

Engage to support our work.Devin: what is your superpower?Chef Todd: You're going to love this. It's pretty simple. I have amazing parents, amazing grandparents. My superpower is that I care. I have a big heart, and I care.In today's episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Chef Todd Manley, the founder and CEO of Mutiny Island Vodka. Chef Todd's journey from culinary innovator to environmental advocate is a testament to the transformative power of creativity and passion. His unique venture is not just about producing vodka; it's about leveraging the underutilized superfood, breadfruit, to drive significant social and environmental change.Breadfruit, a fruit native to Oceania and Polynesia, has been criminally underutilized despite its vast potential. Chef Todd discovered its benefits while searching for an ingredient to create the world's first island vodka. This journey began in 2007, shelved temporarily, but later resurrected in the aftermath of hurricanes Irma and Maria, which left the Virgin Islands without power for months. Chef Todd and his business partner experimented with breadfruit, leading to the creation of a unique breadfruit ethanol. This innovation laid the foundation for Mutiny Island Vodka.What makes breadfruit remarkable is its ability to sequester carbon dioxide and provide food security. As Chef Todd explained, “By using breadfruit products, we incentivize the planting of breadfruit trees, which sequester hundreds of tons of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and produce abundant food.” This aligns perfectly with the mission of Mutiny Island Vodka: to create jobs, feed people, and better the environment.Beyond vodka, breadfruit's versatility extends to various food products, such as flour, hummus, and even gluten-free cheesecake. Chef Todd's vision goes beyond just making vodka; he aims to make breadfruit a staple in combating global hunger and environmental degradation. “One breadfruit tree will feed a family of four for life if they have nothing else to eat,” Chef Todd highlighted, emphasizing its potential to address food security.Today, Chef Todd is raising capital on Start Engine through regulated investment crowdfunding. You can invest.Chef Todd's story is a compelling blend of innovation, resilience, and a commitment to making a difference. His work with breadfruit is not just a business venture but a movement towards a sustainable and equitable future. Through Mutiny Island Vodka, Chef Todd is indeed leveraging the power of breadfruit to change the world, one tree at a time.tl;dr:1. Introduction to Chef Todd Manley and Breadfruit Vodka: Chef Todd Manley, involved with Mutiny Island Vodka, introduces the project, which aims to create dramatic social and environmental impacts by using an underutilized fruit called breadfruit to make island vodka.2. Discovery and Development of Breadfruit Vodka: Chef Todd shares how he came across breadfruit, initially considering it for his restaurant menu. The idea evolved after hurricanes hit his region, leading him and his business partner to experiment with breadfruit, eventually creating vodka from it.3. Breadfruit's Versatility and Environmental Benefits: Breadfruit not only provides food security due to its superfood qualities but also sequesters significant amounts of CO2. It's being used for various products, including hummus, flour, and Goya brand tostones, endorsed for its numerous health and environmental benefits.4. Caring as a Superpower: Chef Todd highlights his superpower of caring, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and addressing community needs. He shares a personal story about mentoring an employee, pushing her to realize her potential, which later resulted in significant career success for her.5. Community Investment and Future Potential of Breadfruit Products: Chef Todd explains the benefits of using Regulation Crowdfunding to raise awareness and capital. He invites the community to learn more about their project on StartEngine and connect via Instagram, aiming to turn everyone into breadfruit advocates and boost sustainable agricultural practices.How to Develop Caring As a SuperpowerChef Todd Manley's superpower is his profound capacity to care deeply about people, the environment, and innovative solutions to problems. His empathy and compassion drive his actions and decisions, allowing him to connect diverse ideas and achieve meaningful, win-win outcomes for the community and the world.One story that illustrates Chef Todd's superpower is his exploration of using breadfruit as a sustainable agricultural product. After two hurricanes devastated the Virgin Islands, he and his business partner experimented with breadfruit to create the world's first island vodka. This initiative not only provided a unique product but also promoted environmental sustainability and food security by incentivizing the planting of breadfruit trees. As Chef Todd explained, "By using breadfruit products, we incentivize the planting of breadfruit trees, which sequester hundreds of tons of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and produce abundant food."To develop and strengthen your own caring superpower, Chef Todd suggests a few actionable steps:1. Pay Attention: Be mindful of your surroundings and the people around you. Notice problems, big or small, and think about how you can help.2. Be Creative: Use your creativity to connect diverse ideas and find innovative solutions to problems.3. Empower Others: Recognize the talents in others and help them harness those talents, even if they don't realize their potential initially.4. Embrace Learning: Keep learning from various fields and experiences. The more you know, the better you can connect the dots and make a positive impact.5. Take Action: When you see an opportunity to help, take it. Even small actions can lead to significant changes over time.By following Chef Todd Manley's example and advice, you can make caring a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

In today's episode, we get the privilege of visiting with not one but two leaders in the regenerative space, Jean Pullen & Alan Cacao. Through their project Regenerate Your Reality, Jean & Alan have been tirelessly promoting permaculture education, seed propagation, food sovereignty, & community-building projects throughout the country.      Regenerate Your Reality is a permaculture, agroforestry, and education project working to bring sovereignty and happiness to our communities. ⁣It's their mission to restore the relationship between humans and the earth to build a regenerative present.   They start the conversation by describing their work educating people at their biodiversity sanctuary in the mountains, near Platanillo, up the hill from Dominical. If you schedule a visit to their 1-hectare food forest, you'll be welcomed to a tour of more than 300 species of food they have planted there. All of which is a living seed bank.We discuss their partnerships with Kiss the Ground & Jungle Project and how they've been empowering local farmers with a regenerative livelihood, growing syntropic food forests with a focus on the abundantly producing breadfruit tree.   With the help of Earth University, INA (Costa Rica's National Institute for Learning), and Kiss the Ground, these two life advocates and the rest of their friends at The Jungle Project provide ongoing, multi-year technical assistance to small-scale farmers on a variety of organic regenerative practices. The organization's mission is Trees, Training & Trade. The farming families learn to restore and maintain the ecological health of their farmland in ways that improve their nutrition and their income.    This crew is actively seeding a regenerative nation.    As Alan put it, connecting with the earth is our first medicine and one worth practicing daily. Participating in a world where the color green is ever out your window, and the sounds of birds and insects are perpetually punctuating the periphery of your awareness -  for me, that's a life I want to live. It's the one I want to participate in preserving and passing on to my grandchildren.     I loved the moment when all three of us were relating to the transformative power we're gifted with when we embody the experience of volunteering or interning at a permaculture center. You become a product of that project. It changes your life forever.   I was impressed to learn that the Jungle Project is rewarding partner farms by buying 80% of the fruit they produce.    Their mission is to substitute grains in people's diets with breadfruit. Changing people's habits can be a long road, but it doesn't stop them from walking it. After the interview, I had the pleasure of trying Alan's handmade breadfruit tortillas with the abundant garden salad we all shared. The tortillas were delicious and had a very agreeable texture! I think they have a shot.   If you'd like to learn more from Jean and Alan, check out Regenerate Your Reality's website and the permaculture webinars they've created. You can find Jean's book there, as well.   That's what I've got for you this time. If you like the episode, pass it on to a friend. If you're hearing the show for the first time, subscribe to Regeneration Nation Costa Rica wherever you find podcasts. We're on YouTube, Spotify, Apple, and most other players.   Have a fantastic day, and the next time you have a friend over to visit, consider gifting them some seeds!

Jus Chill is currently bootstrapping without venture or impact investment backing until it can find the right investors that are fully aligned with its 3 P (People, Planet and Profit) focus. Jus Chill currently has two major product lines breadfruit chips and breadfruit pancake mix and is currently developing other product lines To order Jus Chill products visit 123juschill.com to order or on Amazon as the company strives to get into distribution into major retail stores across the US.Social Media: Instagram: iifoods_juschill Facebook: iifoodsThanks for joining us for another episode of the WTF  podcast.
