What does it look like to use our businesses to fulfill biblical commands?James 1 describes “undefiled religion” as caring for widows and orphans. And that's exactly what Don Larson is doing in Mozambique with the Sunshine Nut Company.After an impressive career as an executive at Hershey's Chocolate, God called Don to move to and invest in Mozambique and use subsistence farming as a means to care for vulnerable people while teaching good business practices along the way. 80% of the population of Mozambique survives on this form of production, and Don wanted to help this population expand their opportunities. Through what he calls “the sunshine approach,” Don and his team are investing 90% of profits back into the community where God has placed him. He joins the podcast to talk about the journey that brought him here, the value of investing in communities, and how Christian entrepreneurs can trust the Holy Spirit to guide them out of their comfort zones.
Don Larson is the CEO and Founder of Sunshine Nut Company cashews where he helps bring work and wealth to Mozambique.

Don tells us the story of surrendering to the Lord which led him to start selling nuts around the world.

On October 8, 1956, baseball history was made and the record still stands - the only perfect game pitched in a world series and the amazing feat was accomplished by my guest - Yankees pitcher Don Larson. Some might argue that the record was broken by Phillies pitcher Roy Hallady when he threw a no hitter against the Reds on October 6, 2010, but that was game one of the National League Division Series...a playoff game, not a world series game. Don was in town to promote his new book and sign some autographs, so in the morning we talked via telephone on my show and then later I dropped by the event to meet him and he kindly signed a baseball that I still own. I think you'll be impressed with how charming and funny he was recalling all the events of that very special day and how his teammates were afraid to talk to him and break the spell.
Enjoy the energy and enthusiasm of former Hershey executive, Don Larson. God's plan for him took him from the C-Suite to Mozambique where he started a company that has an amazing way of blessing people. Check out https://sunshinenuts.com/collections/frontpage for more information—and prepare to be blessed yourself.
On this week's show we will explore the City's temples to Baseball that are no longer physically here, but which live in many memories and many hearts. My guests will be returning guest, historian, and author Jason Antos, president of the Queens Historical Society, and author of “Shea Stadium”; and journalist, educator and sports historian David Kaplan, founding director of the Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center.Tune in for this fascinating conversation at TalkRadio.nyc or watch the Facebook Livestream by clicking here.Show NotesSegment 1Jeff begins the show by introducing the topic of historical sports stadiums along with the two guests. He reads off the long list of pieces that Jason has written throughout his career. Next, he introduces David Kaplan stating that he is an adjunct professor at Montclair State University and the founding director of the Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center. Jason has always had a passion for sports and the history of New York which helped to fuel him. While in high school, he realized that he wanted to do writing and journalism professionally. He graduated from the University of Miami and got a job writing for the Gazette Newspaper. Dave attended Cortland State University, a school that embraces sports. His dream was to combine his two passions of sports and journalism which led to him becoming a sports editor. After introductions, they begin discussing the history of where the first few baseball games were being held. The first baseball game where admission was charged in a stadium was in the town of Corona. The Brooklyn Dodgers were playing in Washington Park but eventually they relocated to Brownsville. Since they were not getting the same amount of attendance while playing here, they moved back.Segment 2To begin this segment, the Polo Grounds are discussed. The original Polo Grounds was designed for the sport of polo. However, it became the home of the New York Giants in the late 1800's. John McGraw and Bill Terry were two of the great historic Giants players. Eventually Willie Mays began playing there and left an amazing legacy behind. They eventually left N.Y. because they were persuaded that the west coast was more to offer. They would reunite with the Dodgers and resume the rivalry. In addition, the field they were playing in was not really designed for cars and New York was transitioning into something new which convinced the baseball club to move. Eventually, the Polo Grounds was refurbished for the Mets to play their first few seasons. The Polo Grounds also was the home of the Yankees from 1913 to 1922. Next, Paul Ebbets was discussed who originally was a bookkeeper for the Brooklyn Dodgers and eventually took over the team. He was going to keep the name of Washington Park but was eventually convinced to title the field after himself.Segment 3Next, Shea Stadium was discussed. Jason remembers watching game six of the 1986 World Series live when he was younger which only increased his love for the sport and the stadium. Furthermore, David begins discussing Yogi Berra and how down to earth he was. He states that what you saw was what you got. Yogi was part of one of the most memorable Yankee teams. He is a Hall of Fame catcher for the team who everyone loved. Next Ebbets field is brought up again. It meant a lot to all of the New Yorkers. Many game changing players played there including Jackie Robinson. The Dodgers ultimately left Brooklyn because of money. Parking was an issue and many New Yorkers were moving to Long Island. They did not want to change boroughs because they were so committed to Brooklyn. However, eventually they moved due to a decision made by a high ranking executive. Later, a super stadium was built which hosted multiple different sporting events. Furthermore, the history of Yankee Stadium was talked about. It will always be remembered for Lou Gehrig's famous speech, Don Larson's perfect game in the 1956 World Series and Joe DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak. In addition, the rivalry was brought up between the Yankees and Dodgers. The two played in the same city and state for many years. They met in the World Series six times but the Dodgers only won once.Segment 4With New York now with only one team, the Yankees, many citizens were upset. Expansion was discussed. Talk of another league began to surface but eventually they began brainstorming ideas for another team name. They were going to try to replace the Dodgers in Brooklyn but eventually they decided to settle the team in a less developed area. The team eventually became the Mets. Shea Stadium was eventually torn down because of the demand for more modernism. It was outdated and cheaper to start from scratch. Also, many baseball fans enjoy being able to shop while at a game because Shea Stadium did not offer. However, ironically Citi Field does not offer as many seats as Shea Stadium. Despite the fact that it is no longer standing today, the memory of the stadium still lives through Jason's book “Shea Stadium.”

Don Larson died this month, at the age of 90. He played baseball professionally from 1953 to 1967, and had a less than stellar career. As a pitcher, his lifetime record was 81 wins and 91 losses. He played five of those years with the powerhouse New York Yankees during their dynastic heyday in the 1950s; his record for lesser teams was a dismal 36 wins and 67 losses. And yet he's one of my favorite players of all time. The post Don and the Perfect Game: PYP 377 appeared first on Plant Yourself.

Don Larson was once a highly successful executive at Hershey with a Porsche and a hot air balloon. But disillusioned with corporate life, he sold all his toys and, together with his wife and youngest child, moved to Mozambique to offer hope to one of the world’s poorest countries. Sunshine Nut Co was born out of a vision to help orphans, widows, and everyday people struggling in poverty through offering them the opportunity to work their way out of poverty, giving them a hand up – not a handout. Now distributed in major retailers like Whole Foods and Wegmans, Sunshine Nut Co creates dignified jobs in cashew farming and processing for Mozambican people. By the way, 90% of the company’s profits go straight back to the impoverished communities wherein it sources its premium cashews. You now have a new nut brand.
In this podcast, VJN sits down with Don Larson, founder and CEO of the Sunshine Nut Company. Don's company is based in Mozambique, and he'll share how the Lord led him to build his business with a Kingdom-based, quadruple-bottom line.
Don Larson was a senior executive with The Hershey Corporation and had built a 25 year career in the food industry. This executive lifestyle of abundance had massive financial perks including a big house with a pool, tons of toys, luxury cars and even a hot air balloon but Don and his wife Terri decided to sell it all and invest their life savings into building a cashew company in Mozambique, Africa. They started The Sunshine Nut Company and dedicated their lives to helping others. Mozambique is one of the poorest countries in Africa but back in the 1970's it was home to one of the largest producing countries of cashews. Don has used his faith and his experience in the food industry to build a company with a "quadruple bottom line" adding transformational bottom line to the financial, environmental and social bottom lines of corporate social responsibility. In this episode we cover... Quitting a 25 year career in the food industry, mostly with The Hershey Company as a 'turn-around guy' and telling Campbell Soup Company that there isn't enough money for him to accept another 'job'. Living a life for others by investing their life savings into a nonprofit mission. Being effected by the level of poverty that he witnessed in Africa while at his career at Hershey. The freedom of selling everything. Going on a 1 and a half year spiritual journey. Selling off all of their life's possessions to roll everything into starting and building The Sunshine Nut Company. Don, his wife Terri and their youngest son move to Mozambique, Africa. Being galvanized even further on their mission after being robbed at gunpoint in their home. Distributing 90% of the company profits to the poor and orphaned through transformative projects personally managed in the villages. Designing a company distribution system that delivers fresh products to their global customers including HEB, Whole Foods and Amazon online store.

Terry Hicks, CPO at Infusionsoft i to talk about the Infusionsoft and Emergent report findings. Don Larson of Sunshine Nuts talks about being an American entrepreneur overseas. Coming this September: RECALCULATING, 97+ EXPERTS ON DRIVING SMALL BUSINESS GROWTH
Today’s guest is Don Larson. The Founder & CEO of the Sunshine Nut Company and author of The Sunshine Approach, Don is a visionary leader with a "quadruple bottom line" business: adding a transformational bottom line to the financial, environmental and social bottom lines of corporate social responsibility. Don has over 25 years of experience in the food processing industry and was an executive for The Hershey Company. After leaving Hershey he built a cocoa processing plant for a group of private investors, where he was eventually promoted to acting-CEO, delivering a plant that produced $100 Million per year. The factory was the largest, fully automated cocoa processing line in the world. In 2011, Don and his family left their lifestyle of abundance and material wealth for one of purpose. They sold nearly everything they owned - a big house with a swimming pool, luxury cars, and a hot air balloon - and poured their life savings into Sunshine Nut Company. Don and his wife Terri and their youngest son, relocated to Africa – away from their daughter in college and son in his last year of high school. They are now living in Mozambique – one of the world’s poorest countries. You can check out Sunshine Nuts at www.SunshineNuts.com.
