It's no secret that our food system is broken. Food production has been consolidated and corporatized, leading to the illusion of choice and abundance. The reality is a landscape of nutrient-poor, ultra-processed convenience food. As a nation, we are overfed, and undernourished, and “lifestyle” diseases are compromising our health and happiness.  On today's show, my co-host, James Connolly, sits down for an in-depth conversation with Jennifer Stojkovic. Jennifer is a food-tech leader, founder of Vegan Women Summit (VWS), and author of The Future of Food is Female. That's right - Jennifer advocates for plant-based eating!  She is also passionate about tapping into the potential of women to change the food system. Her book, The Future of Food is Female, features women who are using their expertise and wisdom to change the food industry. Listen to this episode with an open mind. While I don't wholeheartedly agree with everything Jennifer states during the conversation, she hits on many of the same points we've discussed in previous episodes.  It's time to see past our differences and look for common ground.  James and Jennifer dive into a nuanced and respectful discussion around many hot-button issues plaguing the current food environment.

Unlocking the power of female entrepreneurs from the inside – social impact pioneer Jenny Stojkovic, joins us to share her journey. As Silicon Valley tech industry professional Jenny experienced first-hand that even in the most progressive markets women are being left behind. So she pivoted her career. Bringing together her love of food, her care for other women leaders and her focus on a sustainable future – Jenny started the Vegan Women's Summit to accelerate change in the food industry by bringing together powerful and innovative women. During this podcast, Jenny share's succinctly what she has learnt. Listen into the conversation to hear why funders are missing out by overlooking amazing women entrepreneurs; learn about the food trends of our future; and gain practical insights how to better navigate leadership – from upping networking skills to overcoming imposter syndrome. Jenny explains: “There's no single day where somebody wakes up and gives you a stamp of approval and says, ‘okay, you're an expert, okay, you're a leader.' You just kind of start doing it. It's a habit…you start homing in on your beliefs and your styles and what you want to see builds and eventually at some point, you're just a leader.” In addition, Jenny invites you to become part of the Vegan Women's Summit – joining over 60,000 professionals across six continents, with an annual conference and reports on women founders. Jenny is on a mission to make the food industry more inclusive. And she believes in the power of women. As she explains, “Women drive most of the food purchases - 93% of consumer food purchases are made by women. So, it just would follow suit that if we want to be able to sell to those that buy these foods, we should be tapping into leaders from those communities.” Listen in to find out more and to get involved.

She's also the founder of Vegan Women Summit (VWS), a platform of over 60,000 women professionals in the future of food, and author of the award-winning book, The Future of Food is Female.

Today we're interviewing Jennifer Stokjovic, author of The Future of Food Is Female, Founder of the Vegan Woman's Summit, and VC partner at Joyful VC. Jennifer is pretty much everywhere when it comes to food tech and coincidentally enough, she was in South Korea while I was there. But unlike me who was in South Korea goofing off, Jennifer was there advocating for food technology at the World Knowledge forum. Helen told me after her interview that she was in town, I sent a quick text and 4 hours later, I took a Korean taxi to one of the fanciest hotels I've ever seen and met Jennifer, where we proceeded to do a podcast right at the hotel. Amazing. Jennifer is, of course, a force. Extremely passionate, extremely productive, and extremely knowledgable and her ability to use her connections, knowledge pool and mission brings me in awe. So expect a ton in this interview as we go back and forth on our predictions in food. Lots of very interesting tidbits on policy, on environmental issues, and on the funding environment. Big insights on the diversity of our current food tech environment and how Jennifer has taken charge to change this. We also dive into practical advice on how we can make our ecosystem flourish through diversity. Jennifer has a great and compelling reason for fighting for compassion and animal rights. Deeply personal, but extremely valuable to learn and process. One of the quotes I loved during this interview is how to think about the future. One of the quotes that Jennifer says is that: The world is not going to be worse but it's going to be different

If you're discouraged or frustrated by the disparity between how men and women are represented in the food and beverage industry, then this is a can't-miss episode. This week, we're talking with Jennifer Stojkovic, founder and creator of the Vegan Women Summit and the author of The Future of Food Is Female: Reinventing the Food System to Save the Planet. We pack a lot of great information into this episode, from talking about how Jennifer got started to why she launched the Vegan Women Summit and penned The Future of Food Is Female. Amid the conversation about the importance of diversity and inclusion in our boardrooms, we touch on the widening gap between who gets funding in new food and beverage ventures, and who does not. We talk about why representation matters and how things like the baby formula shortage would've likely been prevented had there been more diversity in the rooms where decisions were being made.   We also spend some time talking about why the Vegan Women Summit is important, not only to the plant-based and animal-free food sector, but to the many product and networking opportunities that exist because of it. And like every one of our Influential Women in Food episodes, we end talking about the advice Jennifer would give and has received throughout her career.

On some level, we're probably all familiar with life-changing events. You never know when or where they'll take place; nor can you predict how you'll emerge from the ordeal. But we can all look back at our lives and pick out at least one point where our trajectories were forever altered. For Jennifer Stojkovic, one such moment came when a close friend was murdered. As she wrestled with the suffering that comes in the wake of such a tragedy, she set out to erase what suffering she could in this world—she became vegan. But to truly make an impact, changing her own dietary regiment wouldn't cut it: she needed to create something bigger than herself. And thus, the Vegan Women Summit was born. But you know by now that there's always more to the story, so listen in as we cover everything from how lab-grown meat is changing what it means to be vegan, why women don't invest, and why vegans don't all fit into the same box.

Chef Lynnette welcomes Vegan Women's Summit Founder Jennifer Stojkovic. www.veganwomensummit.com

Our guest this week on the pod is Jennifer Stojkovic.  Jennifer is a multi-talented executive leader in the future of food and tech innovation space.  In early 2020, she founded the Vegan Women Summit, a global events and medial organization created to empower women to build a kinder, more sustainable world.

In order to understand what's happening in Silicon Valley today, we look back at the history of the world's most famous innovation hub. On this week's episode of Confluence, host Rana Sarkar speaks with Margaret O'Mara, Professor in the Department of History at the University of Washington and author of The Code: Silicon Valley and the Remaking of America. Her book traces the region's lineage back to its humble beginnings as the agricultural, “prune capital” of the world. It describes the unique set of circumstances and environmental factors which made Silicon Valley a global research hub before today's leading tech companies had even been conceived. Rana then connects with Jennifer Stojkovic, Executive Director of sf.citi, an organization that represents and advocates for tech with the City of San Francisco. Since the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, sf.citi has been researching and reporting on demographic changes in the city—mapping the so-called “techxodus.” Growing costs of living in the city have led to a real housing crisis, which leaves the road ahead for Silicon Valley somewhat uncertain. As global communications technologies make remote work easier than ever before, will Silicon Valley remain in the San Francisco Bay area? Could there be a “Silicon Valley” somewhere else in the world, or in other words, is Silicon Valley a place, or an idea? Tune in this week for sharp discussion on the past and future of Silicon Valley. LINKS:Margaret O'Mara WebsiteMargaret O'Mara TwitterMargaret O'Mara LinkedInMargaret O'Mara Wikipedia Margaret O'Mara New York TimesThe Code: Silicon Valley and the Remaking of America at Penguin Random HouseJen Stojkovic TwitterJen Stojkovic LinkedInJen Stojkovic WikipediaSf.citi WebsiteVegan Women's Summit Rolling Stone Culture Council
