Home equity investment companies are winning attention with a simple pitch: no debt, no interest, no monthly payment. So how should reverse mortgage professionals respond? In this HECM World Food For Thought, LoanDepot reverse mortgage leader Lisa Moriello explains why loan officers should stop trying to out-simplify HEI marketing — and instead reframe the conversation around the homeowner's long-term financial outcome. Lisa explores: Why HEIs are increasingly entering the conversation before a reverse mortgage does Why dismissing home equity investments outright can damage credibility The question loan officers should ask instead: what will you actually owe when you leave the home? Why “no interest” does not mean no cost How HEI settlement timelines can matter for homeowners planning to age in place The difference between sharing future home appreciation and paying interest Why HUD-approved counseling is an important distinction How to move clients from comparing marketing pitches to comparing actual outcomes As Lisa puts it: “We're never going to out-market a venture-backed app with a slick onboarding flow … but we can out-explain them every single time.” For reverse mortgage professionals facing growing competition from HEIs, this is a practical framework for having a more credible, transparent and effective client conversation.

Kids of all ages are headed back to school right now, and the Food For Thought podcast has some insights on how that could impact food and beverage consumption trends from Julia Wilson, a partner in KPMG's Strategy practice, focused on consumer clients. Wilson discusses results found in KPMG's Consumer Pulse Back-to-School 2026 Survey, which finds that families expect to spend more per child on back-to-school essentials this year, and 83% expecting to pay more for groceries alone. As a result, about half of those consumers anticipate that they will eat out less and nearly half plan to prepare simpler weekday meals.

In this episode of Food for Thought Leadership, Chris Campbell, Vice President of Content and Insights at The Food Institute, speaks with Joe Slater, President and CEO of Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana, about the changing realities of food insecurity and how food banks are evolving to meet growing demand. Slater explains that today's food-insecure population increasingly consists of working adults holding one or more jobs, as rising living costs outpace wages and changes to federal assistance programs leave many households with few options. He also discusses why healthy foods, including fresh produce, protein, milk and eggs, have become the most sought-after items among families seeking assistance. The conversation also explores how Gleaners has transformed beyond the traditional food bank model by building earned-revenue businesses in wholesale produce distribution, protein processing, co-packing, kitting and logistics. Slater explains how advances in supply chain efficiency, automation and AI have dramatically reduced excess food donations, forcing food banks to become smarter purchasers rather than relying primarily on surplus inventory. He closes by encouraging stronger partnerships between the food industry and charitable organizations, arguing that sharing data, technology and operational expertise will be just as important as food donations in addressing future food insecurity. More about Joe Slater: Joe Slater serves as Chief Operating Officer for Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana, where he oversees operations and strategic initiatives that support the organization's mission of leading the fight against hunger. With more than two decades of experience in supply chain management, food sourcing, and nonprofit leadership, Joe has helped drive innovative programs and partnerships that increase access to nutritious food while strengthening collaboration across the Feeding America network. Under his leadership, Gleaners and its social enterprise, Fresh Connect Central, have become national leaders in collaborative sourcing, protein repacking, and creative distribution solutions that maximize resources and expand impact. More about Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana & Fresh Connect Central: Founded in 1980, Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana serves 21 counties across central and southeastern Indiana through a network of more than 300 community partners and direct service programs. To further extend its impact beyond Indiana, Gleaners launched Fresh Connect Central (FCC), a social enterprise focused on collaborative food sourcing and supply chain solutions for hunger relief organizations. Today, FCC partners with more than 150 food banks and organizations across 46 states and Puerto Rico, moving tens of millions of pounds of food annually through sourcing, repacking, and logistics solutions.

Borrowers are already using artificial intelligence to compare reverse mortgage options and double-check the recommendations they receive from loan officers. Should reverse mortgage professionals be worried? Christina Harmes, CRMP, says no—but their value is changing. After several prospects used AI to analyze the loan scenarios she presented, Christina discovered that the technology largely confirmed her recommendations and increased the borrowers' trust. The experience also highlighted something AI cannot easily replace: emotional intelligence. A reverse mortgage decision is rarely just about rates, proceeds or loan structure. Homeowners may also be worried about their independence, family, legacy, long-term security or whether using home equity means they have somehow failed. In this edition of Food for Thought, Christina explains how reverse mortgage professionals can combine technical expertise with empathy, active listening and trust. You'll learn: How consumers are using AI to research reverse mortgages • Why the professional-consumer knowledge gap is shrinking • How to recognize the real question behind a borrower's words • Why listening before offering a solution builds trust • How box breathing can improve stressful client conversations • Why emotional intelligence may offer “job insurance” in the age of AI AI can do the math. The competitive advantage is understanding the person behind the numbers.

In this episode of Food for Thought Leadership, FI VP of Content and Insights Chris Campbell sits down with FI CEO and Managing Partner Brian Choi to examine the growing disconnect between economic headlines and the reality facing consumers and food businesses. The discussion explores why declining gasoline prices and moderating CPI figures fail to capture persistent food inflation, weakening consumer sentiment, and the financial pressures driving more Americans to rely on debt to purchase groceries. Choi explains why key indicators—including hiring trends, consumer confidence, and corporate bankruptcies—paint a much more cautious picture of the economy than many market headlines suggest. The conversation also examines the role of artificial intelligence in today's economy, separating the hype from its practical business value. Campbell and Choi discuss whether AI investments are delivering meaningful returns, the impact of automation on employment, and the growing consumer backlash against AI-generated content. The episode concludes with a look at the biggest challenges likely to shape the food industry over the next two years—from inflation and changing consumer behavior to climate risks and the need for companies to remain agile, data-driven, and strategically focused.

The duo talks about how companies can use the leadership abilities within every employee to drive company culture and get more workers engaged in the organization and their jobs. Stuber and Glave also discuss the differences between having a corporate culture revolving around compliance rather than a culture of commitment, and what the ultimate cost to businesses following the former can be.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! This week, Chef Mawuli Dzansi allows us the honor of being his first podcast appearance. And we definitely count that as a win with this rising start in the Ghana food movement.

His experiences as an Executive Chef and his time at a Michelin-starred Kitchen in Amsterdam have shaped his innovative approach to showcasing the vibrancy of African ingredients. He has always been considered unconventional, having led impactful projects like Dawadawa at Impact Hub Accra and The Kitchen By Ghana Food Movement, a food hub designed to train young chefs and promote Ghanaian and West African cuisines globally. He currently works as a private chef and consultant to some of Africa's bold thinkers and organizations. His serial entrpreneurship journey started from the moment he discovered how to please people's palatte's and Prekesse, a hospitality practice focused on private dining, brand activations and culinary consulting, is the culmination of his journey so far—a bespoke dining concept celebrating Ghana's rich culinary heritage while embracing sustainability and modernity. Working across concept development, sourcing, menu design, and execution of immersive experiences for brands and private individuals his focus is on building considered hospitality that connects food, people, and place through African ingredients and contemporary dining formats.

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/3RTyKah Trevor Cummings hosts the Thoughts on Money (TOM) podcast with Brett Bonecutter and Blaine Carver to discuss Brett's article on food and its economic and cultural implications. They explore how nearly any topic connects to money, then reflect on family dinners, modern home layouts, and how convenience and abundance may reduce intentional time together. Brett shares “food dollar collapse” data: food fell from nearly 50% of household budgets in the early 1900s to 9.7% in 2025, while spending has flipped from mostly groceries to mostly eating out/convenience, and time in the kitchen dropped from six hours per day to about 45 minutes. They discuss trade-offs like lowered appreciation, snacking, delivery markups, loss of cooking skills, and “options overload” in stores with 32,000 items, plus a brief MAHA-related comparison of past low medical spending versus today's higher costs. 00:00 Welcome to TOM 00:14 Why Talk About Food 02:15 Dinner Table Culture 06:30 Food Memories and Nostalgia 09:46 Food Dollar Collapse 15:29 Abundance Trade Offs 20:12 Convenience and Eating Out 22:04 Convenience And Doomscrolling 23:50 Cooking As Joy And Budget 26:55 Learning Kitchen Skills 28:36 Generations And Eating Out 30:42 MAHA Food And Healthcare 33:09 Pop Tarts And Choice Overload 36:09 Tradeoffs Gratitude And Wrap Links mentioned in this episode: http://thoughtsonmoney.com http://thebahnsengroup.com

Katie and Adam kick off this episode with their usual warm banter (groundhogs, hay fever, and gardening included) before diving into a seriously inspiring conversation with Sam Elfman, Director of Response at World Central Kitchen (WCK) — José Andrés' disaster-response outfit that gets food to people fast when climate-driven storms, floods, fires and conflicts strike. Sam walks us through what being “first on the ground” actually looks like: rapid deployment, working with local chefs and restaurants, buying fresh food locally (no mystery MREs), and getting hot, culturally familiar meals to people on day one. From a surprise flood response in Texas to a category‑5 typhoon in Saipan, WCK's model is simple but powerful — feed people with dignity, support local economies, and move fast. Sam also explains clever resilience work they do, like handing out long‑lasting water filtration bags and community filters so places don't become flooded with disposable plastic water bottles after disasters. We hear about the tough realities too: unpredictable logistics, airports and ports closed, responding to fires and conflict zones, and the need to keep teams safe while being quick. Sam estimates most of WCK's work now addresses climate-related disasters — floods, hurricanes, fires — and describes an innovation team working on future tools to make responses smarter and greener. Katie and Adam reflect on why this matters: food is immediate, human, and easy to support — Sam says even $10 can cover a meal and a bottle of water. They discuss how celebrity support (think Colbert and José Andrés) can amplify donations, why storytelling and practical language matter for climate conversations, and how aid is increasingly politicized despite being fundamentally about helping neighbors.Find out more at https://wck.org/ Hosted on Acast.

In mid-May, I attended the National Restaurant Show at McCormick Place in Chicago, visiting several booths and taking in the product and equipment innovations there — while eating and drinking my way through many delicious, and filling, product samples. One of the booths I visited was the Mezete booth, where Khaled Kasih, CEO and third-generation leader of Amman, Jordan-based Kasih Food Production Co. (and the Mezete brand), took a few minutes to discuss Middle Eastern cuisine with me (and offer some samples, of course!). For this episode of the Food For Thought podcast, Kasih digs into the history of Middle Eastern cuisine and the growing popularity of authentically produced foods from the region. He also discusses his company's passion for bringing the foods to a global audience, using innovative technology as the backbone of creating high-quality, true-to-tradition Middle Eastern foods.

"The ultimate indie film success story! Writer and director Ian Tuason joins Giles Alderson to discuss his massive breakout horror hit, Undertone. Made for just $500,000, Undertone sparked a bidding war at Fantasia Fest, was acquired by A24 in a 7-figure deal, and is now crushing the global box office ($20M and counting). Ian breaks down how he crafted 'the scariest movie you'll ever hear' by making an audio-driven horror film where only one speaking character (Nina Kiri) is ever shown on screen. We dive deep into the emotional reality of indie filmmaking, as Ian reveals what it was like to shoot the film in his childhood home where he previously cared for his terminally ill parents. We also discuss his background in 360-degree VR horror and how this massive indie hit led to him being hired by Jason Blum and James Wan to write and direct Paranormal Activity 8.
