Joining me for today's episode in the Mads Singers Management Podcast is Julia Becker Collins. Julia Becker Collins is the COO of Vision Advertising, a 100% woman-owned, woman-run full-service marketing agency based outside of Boston, Massachusetts, in the United States of America. Like myself, Julia is crazy about people management and leadership (if you're crazy about management and leadership like me, then you've come to the right place if you've stumbled upon this podcast!)Despite being a small business, Julia and her team deal with different sizes and enterprises in their day-to-day operations. But before taking the plunge into entrepreneurship, Julia had to wear many hats, such as working in non-profit organizations making fundraising, donations, event planning, marketing, branding, and even grassroots work. Julia's experiences (the jobs she took outside of college) and her strong personality launched her into the world of people management. However, because of this, Julia also struggled with managing the people around her because they were decades older than her and much more experienced than her. This circumstance led Julia to seek out support and work on herself to work better and help those in need. And this is the sad part for many people who get promoted into leadership and management roles. They often get pushed off a cliff and expected to do magical things and miracles by their superiors, only to be laughed at or mocked when they fail. Management isn't about being a great individual contributor in a company or business or countless complex procedures. But instead, it's all about mindset. While the best salesman in your team may seem like a good fit to become your next manager, not providing them the help and support they need to be a manager will set them to fail.It's a slow domino effect. If you don't invest in your new managers, their performance will impact those who work for them and severely affect your business. Don't wait for your business or company to be hit with financial ramifications that can send you falling into an abyss where recovery may not be possible. Encourage your staff, especially those in the lower levels, to seek help and assist them in making sure their needs are met and fulfilled because a leader should make sure that their staff is well taken care of.Key Learning Points: Getting into the workforce made Julia realize that she needed support to figure out what she wanted to do next in life. - 03:17 Julia shares that because of the tips and tricks that she learned along the way, she managed her team that blossomed in their way. - 04:20 Although Julia was struggling and failing at her job, she used this to her advantage, acknowledged it as a problem, and pushed herself to do better. - 07:03 Mads says that when an organization is ingrained in your company culture, you can see that a business or company runs well. - 09:50 Mads stresses the importance of providing training and giving them help and support when they get promoted to a management role. 10:08 Julia says that if you don't invest in the new manager, it won't be successful, and the people who work for them will be significantly affected. - 12:51 Julia talks about her passion for servant leadership and how she makes sure her staff is provided first before her.- 13:27 Julia says that people who are lower on the totem pole tend to be afraid to seek help, but instead of waiting for things to get worse, Julia will personally approach them.- 15:01 Julia adds that leaders and managers should give their staff more than just a paycheck: make them feel that they are being seen and heard. - 16:33 Mads says that business managers who don't find the time to help their staff are the ones who are making themselves busy with unnecessary tasks.- 17:52 Resources Mentioned:Adam Grant PodcastConnect with Julia Collins:WebsiteTwitterLinkedInInstagram

Led by CEO Julia Collins, Planet FWD has developed software to provide consumer brands the insight need to understand and reduce their carbon footprints. The company has also developed its own sustainable snack brand called Moonshot. To learn more visit their website. Below are two excerpts from the episode. Describing Planet FWD's mission Julia said, "Our mission is to help brands bring planet-friendly products to market by helping them deeply understand their carbon footprint and then putting them on a path to carbon neutrality. To facilitate this carbon light approach, we provide access to the data and information that brands may otherwise lack in making supply chain and go-to-market decisions. We also work to connect our brand partners with suppliers that we have independently verified across various measures of sustainability." Highlighting the company's go-to-market approach Julia said, "We have developed a carbon modeling software tool that can be applied to numerous industries from food to fashion, though food remains our initial industry of focus. To demonstrate the feasibility of making sustainability a core part of the value proposition of a consumer brand, we built our own brand called Moonshot to be the first explicitly climate-friendly product in the snack category. Ultimately, our mission is to serve all brands in the consumables space."

“Climate change and sustainability can feel like such huge problems that you struggle to even know the first step you can take. So I thought, why don’t I start with something small?”  Where some see an overwhelming problem, Julia Collins sees a wondrous opportunity.  As founder and CEO of Planet FWD, Julia Collins is on a mission to tackle climate change using the magic of food, starting with the world’s first climate-friendly snack brand Moonshot Snacks.  Not only does Moonshot Snacks make ridiculously delicious crackers, but every step of their creation is dedicated to reducing emissions in the food system, improving soil health and optimizing human health.  In this episode, Julia shares how her and her team are using technology to discover scalable solutions to the food system’s biggest problems, and getting customers excited about making conscious choices that reflect the world they want to live in.    Links:  Moonshot Snacks @moonshotsnacks on Instagram @moonshotsnacks on Facebook Connect with Julia on LinkedIn Have an idea for the show?

Julia Collins is the CEO of Planet FWD, a company on a mission to tackle climate change by expanding regenerative agriculture adoption. The company is building a software platform for regenerative agriculture alongside a climate-smart snack brand. Climate change is the most important and pressing issue facing our planet and the food we eat plays a significant role. Regenerative agriculture represents an environmentally thoughtful approach central to combatting climate change. Between the 1940s and 1970s, the Green revolution introduced new nitrogen-based farming practices that helped boost crop yields but simultaneously destroyed soil. “Regenerative farming has the capability not only to create healthy soil, healthy plants, healthy people, but also to sequester carbon and address the legacy load, which is part of the solution to climate change.” Moonshot snack brand is the first explicitly climate-friendly snack brand. On top of launching crackers as its first snack product, Moonshot helps other companies shift their operations towards a more planet-forward approach. This includes offering data and tactical recommendations other companies can use and implement in their production. ————————————————————————— To learn more about this episode, including podcast transcripts and show notes, visit *salt.org/talks* ( http://salt.org/talks ) Moderated by Anthony Scaramucci.

Prejudice: Last time we explored the power of self-care. This episode, we’ll dig into prejudice, a draining reality that most women, and especially women of color, have to deal with on a regular basis. Being an “other” in a predominantly white and male working environment comes with many challenges, but it also comes with an opportunity to influence change. Our co-host Laura Chau reveals the ways in which our guests experience, cope with, and push back against the prejudice they face. We sit down with Odette Harris, Julia Collins, Julie Wainwright, Amy DuRoss, and Mariam Naficy to hear how they embody confidence, unapologetically innovate, and evoke change for the future.Hosted by Laura Chau, WoVen : Women Who Venture is a podcast from Canaan and Edit Audio Inc. that represents a platform, a community and really a celebration of venturesome and adventurous women in healthcare, tech and business.

Julia Collins has dedicated her career to tackling some of the most difficult problems that our world faces: food insecurity, agricultural damage, ecological dead zones. Our food system is critical to everyone on this planet and Julia is the woman audacious enough to tackle it, head on. Julia has also dedicated her career to food. She started as a restaurateur working alongside Danny Meyer among others to open some of New York City's hottest restaurants.Then came tech inspiration, leading Julia to co-found Zume Pizza, recently shortened to Zume, a robotic food delivery company based in the bay area. Started in 2015, Zume aims to make healthy food fast and accessible. The company shortens and automates the entire supply chain of food delivery, preparing the food while it's being delivered to the customer and it all started with a crowd favorite pizza. Zume is one of those rare companies that has reached unicorn status. The company is valued at $2.25 billion and Julia is the first black woman to reach unicorn status with her company. Just to put it in perspective, a 2015 study showed that only 12 black women founders had raised at least $1 million in venture capital funding. By 2017 that number had nearly tripled to 34, but there is still a long way to go and Julia is working hard to make sure her story is no longer in outlier.

In this episode of GeenieCast, powerhouse entrepreneur Julia Collins sits down with Geenie founder/CEO Chana Ewing to talk food, business building, the significance of achieving unicorn status, and how she’s making a righteous impact.

If you've read an article about Zume Pizza, chances are it focused on the how the company is using robotics to make pizza more efficiently. But here's the thing: while robot-assisted pizza production IS interesting, it is NOT what's the most intriguing part about Zume Pizza's business. No, instead it's the application of data analysis combined with what the company calls an "elastic" pizza delivery network that pushes final cook and delivery to where the most demand is that's what is the most revolutionary about this fast-growing pizza startup. In a sense, the company is applying cloud computing concepts to pizza creation, bringing the ability to scale fast to meet demand with highly efficient resources. This makes sense for a whole bunch of reasons. Traditional retail fast food involves hundreds of thousands - even sometimes millions of dollars - in fixed cost associated with each (to use a telecom term) "point of presence", but once the store is built you're stuck in one place. Why not move to meet demand where it's at, when it's at? That is what Zume is doing with a network of mobile pizza trucks that do final-cook in smart ovens and through a fleet of scooters that bring the pizza to the consumer's home. In today's podcast, Mike talks with Zume Pizza cofounder Julia Collins.
