Podcasts about Daily Table

A few months back, Sasha Purpura from Daily Table in Boston joined the show to talk about the non-profit grocery store's mission: team up with local suppliers and farmers to ensure everyone has access to low-cost, healthy food. Some surprising news has developed: the board of Daily Table announced recently it was closing down all operations within a matter of days, a move that shocked advocates, community leaders, and residents. Sasha returns to the show to talk about what happened and share resources for those who are food insecure in Massachusetts.

The organization opened its first store, in Dorchester, in 2015. It then expanded to Roxbury, Mattapan, Salem and Cambridge. Leaders say even though need is on the rise, it had to shut down abruptly due to federal funding cuts, high food prices and a drop in charitable donations.

Today, we're going to explore Daily Table, an innovative non profit grocery chain dedicated to providing fresh, convenient, and nutritious food affordable to everyone, even those on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. In today's economic climate, where rising food prices are impacting households across the country, the concept of a non profit grocery store seems to fill a real need. Our guest today is Daily Table CEO, Sasha Purpura, a software engineer who spent 15 years in the tech industry and product management and development roles. Interview Summary Sasha, it is such a pleasure to connect with you. I'm intrigued to hear more about where Daily Table is today because I too was a Daily Table shopper. So, let's begin just hearing about what Daily Table is and what's the driving mission of the organization. Absolutely, Norbert. Simply what's driving the organization is the belief that everybody deserves access to healthy food. Daily Table is such a simple solution, but so incredibly innovative. It's a grocery store where everybody can afford healthy food. To me, seems like that should be there already. Unfortunately, it isn't. Historically, the way we have addressed hunger in this country is food pantries. And food pantries play a critical role and they're very necessary. However, there's spaces designed for people with low income. To say you're low income, you can't afford food, come here. And we know that 40 percent of the people that qualify for food pantries won't go to a food pantry because of that stigma. And because they want agency. They want the dignity of providing for their families and choosing what they want to eat. So Daily Table creates that shopping experience. People who don't use food pantries, they shop for themselves. And the sad reality is they have not been able to choose healthy food every day. They can't. It is not affordable. If you are lower on the income scale, you cannot afford to put fruits and vegetables on your table every day. Daily Table makes it possible for every person to afford to put fruits and vegetables on their table every day. And we are a normal grocery store. Anybody can come in there. We welcome everyone. It is not set up for people with a low income. It is a shopping experience. It is bright and colorful. It is dignified, enjoyable. Let's go look at all this beautiful produce. Daily Table dedicates a third of its footprint in each store to produce. Think about any grocery store you go into. That is not the case. We are focused on healthy, beautiful, fresh food. So, it's produce. It's proteins. And then finally, we have a commissary kitchen in our Dorchester store. It serves all of our stores, and we make healthy meals. A lot of people working two jobs cannot cook for themselves. Don't have the resources. And unfortunately, in many cases, turn to fast food, which isn't even that affordable these days. We make a chicken meal with a big chicken leg and 2 sides starting at $2.99. We have a large garden salad for $2.99. We have smoothies. We have soups that aren't extremely high in sodium. So, we provide healthy, tasty, prepared meals alongside fresh produce. If you can cook it, it's the ingredients are there. If you can't cook it, we cook it for you. And so Daily Table, our mission and what we do every day, is ensure that healthy food is truly affordable to everybody. This is really a useful way of hearing about what Daily Table is. As someone who used to live in Boston, I would visit the Dorchester store. And I remember all they asked is to tell us what zip code you're from and we would go shopping. We don't even ask that anymore. Oh, you don't even ask that anymore! That is awesome. And, you know, what's great it was easy to take my very young daughter at that time into the store and feel good about what we were getting. And my wife was like, can you believe these prices? In a good way! In a very good way. And so, it was always a positive experience. And it was great to know that there were people in that local community that were in the store. That were part of the staff. And it was a great place to visit. So, I'm glad to be able to connect with you on this. But I got to ask this question, how did a software engineer all of a sudden end up in a nonprofit grocery store? What happened? What drew you to this work? Well, it wasn't all of a sudden, but it was definitely a path. I met my husband when we were working at Nokia. I was in product management at the time. And in 2005, he quit to start an organic farm. A dream he'd always had. Went to it full time, that's how he makes his living. And he'd always had a big garden and just been a food person and I learned through him. I'd work with him on the weekends and getting the farm started and go to farmer's markets with him. And I, I discovered food in a way I'd never really understood it. I fell in love with it. I fell in love with the way that food creates community. I mean, it is the center of community. It's how we show love. It's how we come together over holidays. But to work with my husband creating this really beautiful produce, healthy, and to share that and just, just at a farmer's market, see how people come together that don't know each other. And 'how do you use collard greens? Or what is this vegetable?' It was just life. It was just life and I wanted that. So, I quit in 2009. I worked with him on the farm for a couple of years while I went back to school just to expand my network and nonprofit and other things. And in 2012, I began as an executive director of another hunger relief organization. And what was amazing, what is amazing to me, whether it's at a food pantry or Daily Table or a farmer's market, it is the same experience. It is people coming together around food and sharing. And it is beautiful and it, it creates healthy communities. It's not just nourishing us physically, but that's critical. By the way, healthy food is the cheapest form of healthcare. If we would just invest in that. But it also nourishes a community. It's mental health. It's sitting around the table with your family. It's cooking. It's not being hungry. And so, to go from the one extreme of a local organic farm in a farmer's market that isn't cheap. You know, my husband isn't making money off of it. He's not getting rich, but the food, it takes a lot to grow food. So, to go from that experience and bringing together people who can afford farmer's market prices and seeing that same experience in a food pantry or at Daily Table, it is, it's about food. It's not about money and it should be accessible to all. It is really amazing. I loved the two years on the farm and bringing access to local food to people. And to now do that to folks who otherwise simply couldn't get access to healthy food. It's, it's just an incredible honor to be a part of that. Thank you for sharing that. And thank you for sharing part of your story. I'm interested to go back to Daily Table and understand how is it different than other nonprofit organizations, especially in the food justice space? Help us to appreciate that you gave us a bit of an idea when you were talking about comparing it to food pantries. But I'd like to hear sort of more of your thoughts on that. Well, my thoughts are not so much are how are we different, but how do we fit into the emergency food system? One of the beautiful things... I'm in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Daily Table is at Cambridge and Boston and Salem. And I've worked now for 12 years in this field in Northeastern United States, Massachusetts. And what I've discovered is there is a network of food justice, hunger relief organizations. And we are an incredibly large community of people that care about the same thing and working together. So, we need a lot of different solutions. SNAP, as you mentioned, the supplemental nutrition access program, that is hunger relief, right? That lets people have access to purchasing food. Then there's Daily Table where you can use your SNAP benefits to buy produce. To buy very healthy food at very low prices. Then there's a food pantry for people that perhaps don't even have access to SNAP. They can go to a food pantry and access food, or people can shop at Daily Table and supplement what they're buying a Daily Table at a food pantry. We work with an organization called the Boston Area Gleaners that uses volunteers to rescue food off of farms. And has their own farm now and grows some produce that we sell at Daily Table. We work within a network of different types of food justice organizations that are serving people in different ways and meeting them where they are. We work with Fresh Truck, which is a mobile market that goes into communities with a truck with fresh produce on it, right? So, all of these things are necessary. I would say Daily Table is absolutely critical to serving all of those people who are not comfortable getting free food. The last organization I worked for was called Food for Free, and it was wonderful, and it served hundreds of thousands of people. But there are hundreds of thousands of people that are not going to take food for free and Daily Table assists folks in that way. Yeah. I am really appreciative of the way you've talked about this. And sometimes I get a sense that there is competition in this space. And what you're talking about is, no, we're actually all part of a large network and that we're serving different needs and that we are stronger together. Finding ways of collaborating and giving people options and in the community. I find this really encouraging. Thank you. I'm so excited to hear more about this and to think about what that means as we go beyond the Boston area. Beyond the Northeast. And talk about replication, but I don't want to get ahead of myself. I've got to ask. This can't be easy, I mean, to offer these products at the low prices that you do and the fact that they're all nutritionally oriented. And I'm interested to learn what are the challenges of providing and doing the work that you all do at Daily Table. There are many, but they are luckily balanced by the joys of doing the work. One of the ongoing challenges is fundraising, right? We are a nonprofit. We work with local partners, and they give us deals in many cases. Little Leaf Lettuce, this incredible hydroponic lettuce grown out of Devons Massachusetts, ensures that we can have the absolute lowest cost little leaf at our stores every day. The same stuff you could buy at Whole Foods for twice the price. So, that's some of it, but we buy a lot of our food from a distributor, just like anybody else. And as we all know, there has been tremendous food inflation since the pandemic. And that has made our costs go through the roof. And we have not been able and not wanted to pass those costs onto our customers, so we are a nonprofit and we have to raise money. And that's that's part of why you feel like there may be competition, right? All of these nonprofits rely on the community. We rely on foundations. So, it is always a challenge for us to ensure we are continually investing in letting people know we're a nonprofit. That can be hard. We're a grocery store. We make two thirds of our revenue through store sales. That's incredible. Every time you shop there, you're giving to our organization. But we need to raise a third of our revenue through philanthropy. So that is an ongoing challenge. And more specifically, we have had this amazing program called Double Up Food Bucks. Which means people shopping with SNAP can get half off of produce. And it is incredible to see, as we launched that program, how much SNAP shoppers increase their produce spending. It just showed if food is affordable, people will buy it. If healthy food is affordable. Unfortunately, at the end of September, we lost funding for that program. And we had to pause it. We were able to keep it going in Cambridge, thanks to funding from the city of Cambridge. It has been devastating to our clients who have come to rely on not only low-cost vegetables, but being able to get twice as much as the dollar would normally get. Luckily, we did a GoFundMe, and we had tremendous response from people. And now the city of Boston is willing to step up and help us fund that. I'm hoping, fingers crossed, that that program relaunches in the next week or two. But that is another program that's going to require ongoing funding. And it's a challenge for every nonprofit, I think. I feel confident that if we get the word out about Daily Table, it's an exciting organization to support. And what's wonderful is you can support it by going there and getting great prices on healthy food. I am encouraged by how you all are thinking about these challenges and how you're finding innovative ways of expanding the work that you're doing. And I got to say, when I was in Boston, I lived in Somerville. I was there at the grand opening of your second location. I didn't realize that you all have expanded. Yes. Dorchester is 2015 and then Roxbury, which you just referenced and Nubian Square opened in 2018. Then in 2021, January, I remember I was there. It was in Cambridge, and I knew I knew the founding was happening, and I was at the ribbon cutting. We all had our masks on and we were standing 6 feet apart, but Central Square Cambridge opened. And then last year in September, we opened Salem, Massachusetts, which was up on the North Shore. Our first non urban store. I mean, you clearly have figured out how to make this work. You're overcoming some of these challenges. But some challenges still exist because of the need to continue to fundraise. You know, I'm interested to know, where do you see Daily Table, the network of organizations, going into the future? And I've just got to ask, how are you thinking about expanding? Sure. Some people don't know, Daily Table was founded by Doug Rauch. And Doug Rauch was the former president of Trader Joe's North America. And when Doug was at Trader Joe's, it was a small chain on the West Coast. And Joe, the CEO, asked Doug to head out to the East Coast and see if he could get a foothold for Trader Joe's here. And that's what he did. And now, as many people know, Trader Joe's is all over the country. And that is our dream of Daily Table. I mean, it is... it is needed in so many cities in Massachusetts. In every single state in this country, and in so many cities in every single one of those states. We have received outreach from throughout Massachusetts from California from Denver from Texas from Maine. And so, we absolutely believe that a Daily Table should exist everywhere across this country, deeply in Massachusetts and in other states as well. And our hope is in, you know, the not-too-distant future, to open a store outside of Massachusetts to show people this is not a Boston based thing. This is what can be a national solution. And then to over time start to expand throughout Massachusetts and throughout the country. Now, that requires funding as we know. But I think with the outpouring we've seen from different states and cities saying, we want this, we believe that it is possible to find that funding. And to really expand our network across the United States over the coming years and decades. BIO Sasha started her career as a Software Engineer and spent 15 years in the tech industry in Product Management and Management roles. In 2005, she helped her husband launch an organic farm and through that experience discovered a true passion for food and its ability to nourish not only one's body and soul, but communities as a whole. Driven by this new passion, she left tech in 2009 and, after acquiring her MBA in Organizational Sustainability, went on to lead Food For Free. Over her 10 years as the head of the organization, she transformed it from a small, grass-roots program primarily serving Cambridge to a regional leader in food access. She has long admired Daily Table and was honored by the opportunity to join the organization as CEO in early 2024.

With many adults in Massachusetts struggling with food insecurity, Daily Table has set up several non-profit grocery stores in Greater Boston to try and connect families with fresh, healthy food at a price that won't break the bank account. One of their most popular programs provides shoppers on SNAP with a significant discount on fruits and vegetables, but that program has unexpectedly been stopped. Sasha Purpura, CEO of Daily Table, talks with Nichole this week about what happened and how the community can help make sure everyone can stay nourished.

For the many Trader Joe's dedicated shoppers, Doug Rauch is a name you might not know as well as “Joe.” As President, he helped grow the business from a small chain in Southern California to a nationally acclaimed retail success story. After 31 years with the company, Doug hung up this trademark Trader Joe's Hawaiin shirt to start a non-profit, community grocery store that provides fresh, tasty, convenient, and nutritious food to communities most in need at prices everyone can afford. Doug Rauch, Founder and President of Daily TableThe “Distinguished” podcast is produced by Boston University School of Hospitality Administration.

We speak with Daily Table and the soon-to-be-opened Dorchester Food Co-op about how they're bringing food and community to the region.

This week Dr. Amy Sapola chats with Chef Ismail Samad. Ismail Samad is a native of East Cleveland, OH, a Chef, social entrepreneur, and a closed loop food systems expert. While studying environmental biology in college, and working in some of the top restaurants in Cleveland, Ismail developed a passion for the culinary arts. He opened his first cafe, Crust and Crumbs at the age of 23. After relocating to Vermont, He became deeply involved in the farm-to table movement which gave him insight into the impact of food waste, and created in him a resolve to find creative solutions to solve the problem. To this end, he founded a new restaurant concept, The Gleanery. The restaurant eliminates waste and showcases culinary artistry with high end fare, all while providing economic opportunities for local farm partners. Ismail served as Culinary Director and was pivotal in the planning, launch and early expansion of Daily Table, a nonprofit grocery stores in Roxbury and Dorchester, Massachusetts. Daily Table focuses on addressing the conflicting issues of food insecurity, nutritional health, and wasted/surplus food to provide healthy affordable meals to those in need. Ismail is also the former Director of Contract Manufacturing and Culinary Operating for Commonwealth Kitchen, a nonprofit business incubator located in Boston, MA specializing in building a new food economy grounded in racial, social, and economic justice. He is co-owner of Nubian Markets in Boston, MA, a thoughtfully curated market cafe and gathering place celebrating the African Diaspora through food. He is founder of the economic justice nonprofit organization Loiter, based in East Cleveland which owns land and Wake Robin Fermented Foods along with other social enterprises that provide equitable opportunities for the habitually excluded and build healthy sustainable food economies.

Ismail Samad has returned home with a vision to reimagine the possibilities of his hometown, East Cleveland. He's cooked for the economic elite of Martha's Vineyard, featured in Bon Appetit (May, 2022), and launched several successful enterprises that reflect is passion for activism, equity and sustainability. Through his nonprofit organization, Loiter, he's creating new opportunities for economic self-sufficiency for East Cleveland residents through food enterprises and more. A closed-loop food systems expert, Ismail gained notoriety through development of The Gleanery, his restaurant in Putney, Vermont, that aimed to eliminate waste and improve economic opportunities for local farmers. He helped launch Daily Table, a nonprofit community grocery store model in the Boston area. And, Ismail worked for many well-known restaurants in Cleveland and beyond. In our conversation we talk about the opportunity he sees in East Cleveland, the full scope of Loiter and all of its projects, and his plans to open a restaurant. This podcast is supported by Chef Douglas Katz and Ohio Wines.

Listen to the former President of Trader Joe's, Doug Rauch, describe his 'stakeholder centric' approach to Customers .

The Future of Agriculture is Local and Greenhouse-Grown: A Conversation with Paul Sellew Paul Sellew, founder and chief executive officer of Little Leaf Farms, had a vision to grow lettuce in New England year-round after mastering the growing and distribution of greenhouse-grown tomatoes with his previous company, Backyard Farms. Founded in 2015, Little Leaf Farms grows flavorful, crisp, leafy baby green lettuce in a state-of-the-art, energy-efficient, sustainable greenhouse facility in Devens, Mass. By innovating greenhouse growing, capturing rainwater, and using sunlight, Little Leaf Farms is an industry leader in controlled environment agriculture, allowing the company to grow lettuce and ship it to stores within 24 hours thereby surpassing competitors on taste and quality. Little Leaf Farms is able to reduce food miles and waste by growing locally as compared to 95 percent of the lettuce grown and trucked cross-country from California and Arizona. Using captured rainwater allows the company to use 90 percent less water than field-grown lettuces. Using natural sunlight over electric lights contributes to the company's efficiency in growing practices. No human hands touch Little Leaf Farms' lettuce throughout the growing process to ensure safe growing practices and to reduce any risk of contamination. A socially responsible company, Little Leaf Farms also works with nonprofit charity partners, Greater Boston Food Bank, Loaves to Fishes, and Daily Table, to name a few. ImpactReportPodcast.com

Sandra has also served on boards for WGBH, New England Baptist Hospital, The Museum of African American History and REACH, an organization dedicated to eliminating domestic violence.Davida Dinerman recently had a fascinating and wide ranging conversation with Sandra King on the Look Left @ Marketing Podcast. Here are just a few of the highlights: 04:35 - Sandra’s path to a marketing career06:48 - Listening skills are vital to a successful marketing professional09:05 - Classic marketing books that are a must-read14:40 - How has higher education handled COVID-19?23:41 - Young professionals starting careers in the year of remote work environments29:13 - Sandra’s multi-faceted consulting experience 34:46 - Is progress being made in hiring a diverse workforce? 38:15 - How did corporate America handle this year’s civil rights 41:51 - The importance of working with non-profit organizationsNOTABLE QUOTESOn the art of listening: "If I am pitching an account and I go in for the first meeting with a prospective client, part of my discipline and the discipline of the people that I try to instill with the people I work with is to do less talking and more listening. Let's ask a question and step back so we can hear the issues that this organization, this individual, this group might be grappling with. How are they framing it? Are there some key words, some trigger expressions that you should be capturing?"As a college lecturer, she's concerned for new graduates entering a workforce where important mentoring and networking opportunities aren't as easy to cultivate as in the past: "If I look back at the first job I had, I'm still in touch with those people. I know a lot about their families. They know all about mine because we spent physical time together. We traveled together. We did research projects together. We walked down the hall and had a cup of coffee together. That dynamic is not here right now and it won't be for a while. So trying to figure out what you can replicate in the virtual world to give that same sense of community is one of the challenges that these organizations are facing right now."Sandra's thoughts on progress toward more equitable hiring: “You need to look differently at what your sources of resources are for students and for prospective employers. It's beginning, there's a confluence, as you know, societally of a bunch of things happening right now. There is a feeling that most people have been talking the talk, but not walking the walk. And therefore, we are at a point where we feel that society needs to do the latter, which is walk the walk and walk the talk.”###

Marc has already recorded many podcast guest appearances, some of which have already been published. Go to CareerPivot.com/launch you’ll find all the links of all the podcasts.[2:52] Marc will be in Austin the week of September 22nd, the New Jersey area the week of September 29th, and D.C., the following week. Marc would love to meet his readers and listeners. [3:04] Marc has two events planned for Austin and four in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Marc will then have a meet-and-greet in D.C.

They will reflect on what they have learned and how they have changed in the last year. [3:39] This week, Marc interviews Kerry Hannon, author of Never Too Old to Get Rich: The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Starting a Business Mid-Life.  [3:53] Marc introduces Kerry and welcomes Kerry to the Repurpose Your Career podcast. [5:23] Kerry was a guest on the podcast almost three years ago and that episode, Careerpivot.com/episode-6, still gets 30 or 40 downloads a month! [5:47] A number of years ago, Kerry wrote, What’s Next? Follow Your Passion and Find Your Dream Job, after traveling the country for three years meeting with people who had shifted to completely different jobs after working 20 to 30 years in one field. Most of them started small businesses in their second act. Kerry loved their spirit. [6:25] Kerry started recognizing a trend in people over 40 starting their own businesses. Kerry wanted to share their stories. She also saw studies showing that people over 50 are the fastest-growing demographic of entrepreneurs in the U.S. and globally. [6:57] Women, in particular, are starting businesses in the second half of life. With longevity growing, we are going to see more people starting businesses later in life. [7:16] In the book, Never Too Old to Get Rich, Kerry profiles 20 winning entrepreneurs, because we learn from winners. She presents their stories, challenges, and rewards, and gives readers a playbook of actions for how to accomplish similar successes. [7:41] Part 1 of the book is about turning a passion into a business. Sometimes hobbies are better as hobbies but studies show that people who can turn their passion into a business are often more successful than other entrepreneurs. They know their customer; they are their customer. [9:00] Kerry interviewed people who started businesses in filmmaking, coffee, scooters, woodworking, and more, all building on passions. Kerry shares some stories about them. [12:14] Part 2 of What’s Next deals with building a winning Senior-Junior partnership. There is a great synergy in building a business “that has legs,” not for the next five years, but for the next 20 years or more. You have the experience and the network of someone who’s been through it, and the tech skills and enthusiasm of youth. [13:25] One of Kerry’s favorite stories from the book is about a mother-daughter team, Bergen and Morgen Giordani, who started One Hot Cookie with their cookie-baking skills and built retail outlets in Ohio and Pennsylvania. They are now franchising. [14:18] The daughter is the expert at social marketing and store design. The mother is the big-picture business planner. The mom kept her full-time job for a long time before stepping all the way into the business. [15:56] In this section, Kerry has a story about Paul Tasner, who has been a guest on the podcast in CareerPivot.com/episode-125. Paul started his company PulpWorks in San Francisco and paired up with somebody a couple of decades younger than him. [17:21] When you make a shift to being your own boss, you need to do an inner MRI to find your skills, weaknesses, and strengths. Look for others who can partner with you and balance you in launching your business. It’s understanding who you are and what it is you truly want to do and what you can do. [18:00] Part 3 of the book is the path to social entrepreneurship. Kerry found that at this point in their lives, many people may have experienced a health crisis or a loss, or may be wondering if there is more to life than what they have done. They wonder how they want to make a difference to the world. [18:47] Social entrepreneurs have a vision of making the world a better place by using their skill sets to launch a nonprofit or something that has the ability to touch lives. Kerry shares a couple of examples. One, Jamal Joseph, started a nonprofit, IMPACT Repertory Theater, in NYC. Kerry met him through Encore.org. [19:28] Jamal started this group to help young people in Harlem find a purpose through repertory performance and encouragement to study, to find a way out of poverty to succeed. [19:57] Another example is Bernadette’s House, an after-school program for disadvantaged girls, started by Carol Nash in Baltimore. [20:33] Doug Rauch, former President at Trader Joes, went to Harvard’s Advanced Leadership Initiative to learn to solve big social problems. He went on to start Daily Table in the Boston area to provide food at a lower cost. Marc compares food supply practices in Mexico and the U.S. [22:33] besides the Harvard Advanced Leadership Initiative, other schools are offering similar initiatives to urge people to start in social entrepreneurship. Stanford, Notre Dame, and the University of Texas are a few schools offering such initiatives. [23:33] Daily Table offers cooking classes for people who are not accustomed to healthy foods. [24:01] Part 4 of the book is Winning Strategies for Female Entrepreneurs. Female entrepreneurs are the fastest-growing cadre of entrepreneurs, world-wide. Women make good entrepreneurs and also good investors for a few reasons. Women do their homework. They take their time when they launch a business. They are idealists. [24:53] By laying this groundwork, women set themselves up for success. Women are willing to start a business as a side gig, keeping their full-time job. Women have the ability to understand where their weaknesses are. They admit it and ask for help. They ask for directions. Women often partner up with other women who can fill in the gaps. [25:29] Women tend to be very collaborative. Entrepreneurship is a team sport. Women understand that entrepreneurship is a marathon and not a sprint. Women are patient. [26:04] Rachel Roth started Opera Nuts in New York, combining her love of nuts and opera. Now she sells them online as well. It’s a true passion for Rachel. She was able to find tech help at Senior Planet classes in entrepreneurship and tech and from young tech mentors. [28:04] Ginny Corbett started a healthy juice business, Salud Juicery, in Pittsburgh, after going to school to learn about nutrition related to eating issues. [29:49] Kerry wants people to walk away with a message of hope, possibilities, dreams, and knowing that it is never too late to start doing work around your passion. Every person Kerry profiled told her about the inner richness of doing work they love, with people they love, that has meaning in the world. [30:49] Marc recalls an earlier podcast guest, on CareerPivot.com/episode-127, author Andrew Scott, author of The Hundred-Year Life: Living and Working in an Age of Longevity and author of the article “Is 75 the New 65? How the Definition of Aging is Changing” on Next Avenue. What are you going to do with your extra 10 years? [31:50] The importance of working at this stage of life is it fulfills us, it may be a financial necessity or safety net. At 60, you have at least 15 more years ahead of you where you could do something totally different. You might need to add some more skills, by apprenticing, moonlighting, or volunteering before you launch on a new path. [32:32] There’s no ideal starting point; you just need to get started. Marc plans to work until he’s 90! [32:48] You can learn more about Kerry at KerryHannon.com, on Twitter at @KerryHannon, on Facebook at @KerryHannon and LinkedIn at Kerry Hannon. Kerry would love to hear from you and hear your entrepreneurial stories! [33:23] Marc thanks Kerry for being on the Repurpose Your Career podcast. [33:29] Marc hopes you enjoyed this episode. Kerry is passionate about helping our community who are in the second half of life. Marc hopes everyone is inspired by her latest book. [33:40] The Career Pivot Membership Community continues to help the approximately 50 members who are participating in the Beta phase of this project to grow and thrive. The community has moved on to the next phase where community members who have experienced success get to share their successes and teach others. [33:57] This is a community where everyone is there to help everyone else out. They have been hovering at about 50 members for a while. Members are experiencing successes like going back to work, starting new businesses — even someone buying a franchise. Some leave the community when they’ve found success, while others stay. [34:19] Their legacy stays with the community as they have built an extensive library of forum entries and discussions. Marc will be publishing shortly testimonials of what they got from being part of this community. [34:34] Marc is recruiting members for the next cohort. If you are interested in the endeavor and would like to be put on the waiting list, please go to CareerPivot.com/Community. [34:45] Those who are in these initial cohorts set the direction. This is a paid membership community with group coaching and special content. More importantly, it’s a community where you can seek help. Please go to CareerPivot.com/Community to learn more.

Doug Rauch, founder of Daily Table, tackles the food desert in inner cities.

How can our food system empower people to choose clean, nutritious food? On this episode of Add Passion and Stir, Founder and President of the Daily Table Doug Rauch and grassroots organizer and chef Neftalí Durán discuss food justice. After a successful career as president of Trader Joe’s, Rauch launched Daily Table in the Boston area with the idea that food insecurity is a multi-faceted problem. “This is a system. There’s no silver bullet you can shoot and take care of the problem...It intersects with education, poverty, culture, and access,” he says. Durán, who is originally from Oaxaca, Mexico, agrees. “Food is political… food touches every issue... My work starts from the baseline that food is a human right,” he says. “If we start from the premise that food is a human right, we should never be dismissing people that need food,” he believes. Both social justice champions believe in trusting people and communities. Rauch admits that before founding Daily Table he almost went forward with a “beautiful solution to the wrong problem.” Instead, he listened at dozens of focus groups and community meetings. “I learned that they already had a better understanding of nutrition than I thought. It wasn’t like I had to convince someone that they had to eat fruits and vegetables. They … wanted to be given a chance to make the right choices,” he says. “Daily Table is designed primarily around making certain that food - which is the cheapest form of health care - becomes the basis and foundation for a family’s ability to provide a healthy outcome for life,” he says. Durán believes the solution to ending hunger lies in treating people with dignity - which has become much more difficult in the current political climate. Host Billy Shore asks how we empower people and communities. “One of the best ways to empower people is to listen to them. What do you need? How can we facilitate you eating healthier? What are the issues in the community? If we’re never listening, we’re really not empowering people,” he answers. Share in this impactful conversation about food justice, empowerment and dignity.

On this week’s Past Present podcast, Nicole Hemmer, Natalia Mehlman Petrzela, and Neil Young discuss the war on Christmas, food politics, and political spouses. Here are some links and references mentioned during this week’s show: The “war on Christmas” has become a regular part of the holiday season. The conservative website Newsmax has catalogued the big offenders of 2015. Neil argued the “war on Christmas” is largely a media phenomenon, noting that many religious leaders have chosen to ignore the controversy or to argue that the real war on Christmas is the holiday’s over-commercialization.  Neil also observed that the Puritans outlawed Christmas because the holiday had such decadent celebrations. To read more about the controversial history of Christmas, see Stephen Nissenbaum’s The Battle for Christmas.A new grocery store venture, Daily Table, seeks to provide low-income consumers with more affordable food by selling about-to-expire foods from farmers and wholesalers. Natalia noted that dates used for food expiration are largely made up and contribute to high rates of food waste. Natalia recommended the book, We the Eaters, and the documentary, A Place at the Table, for thinking more about the politics of food.The New York Times’ profile of Marco Rubio’s wife, Jeanette, is the latest example of our culture’s fascination with political spouses. America’s First Ladies have played a unique role in national politics, often using their ceremonial functions to extend their husbands’ political objectives. Neil noted that spouses play particularly important roles in political campaigns, but that women like Betty Ford and Nancy Reagan were also sometimes seen as liabilities for their husbands. In our regular closing feature, What’s Making History: Natalia discussed the history of why American Jews eat Chinese food on Christmas day.Neil commented on GQ’s profile of the international megachurch, Hillsong.Niki explained how in Soviet Russia the Christmas tree became the New Year’s tree.

Doug Rauch is our 10th Cinderella CEO podcast interview. The former president of Trader Joe's, now the CEO of the non-profit, Conscious Capitalism, Rauch also started a project called the Daily Table to bring fresh food to the inner cities. We interviewed Doug in Chicago at the National Conference of Conscious Capitalism. He shares his story of how he started with Trader Joe's, helped grow the grocery store chain, and gives advice on how to avoid "crapitalism!" We talk about how to excel as an entrepreneur, and why listeners may want to consider becoming "intrapreneurs" as an alternative. Doug talks making capitalism as a force for good, and why "Conscious Capitalism" caught his attention.(This is a re-edit of the first interview for better audio clarity).
