They cover topics such as the importance of bone health, the differences between osteoporosis and osteopenia, factors that affect bone density, and exercises to avoid or modify for individuals with low bone density.  They also emphasize the need for ongoing exercise and lifestyle choices to maintain bone health.   Takeaways Osteoporosis is a common skeletal disorder characterized by compromised bone strength, while osteopenia refers to low bone density. Factors that affect bone density include genetics, lifestyle choices, age, and hormonal changes. Maintaining bone health requires regular exercise, particularly weight-bearing and resistance exercises, as well as a balanced diet. Individuals with low bone density should avoid or modify exercises that involve loaded flexion, rotation, or lateral flexion. It is important to address bone health early in life and continue to prioritize it throughout all stages of life. Avoid loaded flexion exercises for individuals with osteoporosis Focus on strength training, impact training, and balance/core work for bone health Incorporate upright work and add weight to stimulate bone mineral density Empower individuals with poor bone density to enjoy movement and incorporate loaded exercises Continuously learn and adapt in the Pilates journey       Connect with Lisa Jackson Social Media: @lisajacksonpilates Website: https://lisajacksonpilates.com.au       Take advantage of your FREE gift!

Christian Zyp interviews Lisa Jackson (dir/prod/writer) about the documentary WILFRED BUCK. It screens at the Metro CInema on June 3rd at 7:00 pm and June 5th 9:30 pm. It's screening as part of Indigenous History Month.WILFRED BUCK is about a man from the “fresh-out-of-the-bush, partly civilized, colonized, displaced people,” and he's here to take us to the stars. Lisa Jackson's portrait of Cree Elder Wilfred Buck moves between earth and sky, past and present, bringing to life ancient teachings of Indigenous astronomy and cosmology to tell a story that spans generations. Adapted from Buck's rollicking memoir "I Have Lived Four Lives", the film weaves together stories from his life, including his harrowing young years of displacement and addiction. Seamlessly fusing present-day scenes with cinematic re-enactments and archival footage, this intimate yet expansive documentary takes us on an inspiring journey to the space beyond, and to the spaces between us all.

Today, we speak with Arvin Ganesan, an ex-Obama-Admin EPA and ex-Apple Energy Procurement executive. His career is fascinating, from finance to Policy to Energy Tech CEO. He offers us a lot of insight into their technology, how it works, and specifically how it plays well with utility models of making money. Towards the end, he mentioned the unknown of the commercialization path. He pointed out that it's not important to pick a model of commercialization with a tech like this because so many variables can dictate the best path to commercialization when the tech is proven past the pilot scale. Lots of good stuff is in today's episode! ---

Ken Cook, president and co-founder of Environmental Working Group, is widely recognized as one of the environmental community's most prominent and effective critics of establishment agriculture and U.S. farm policy. On November 2, food policy authority Michael Pollan named Cook one of “the world's 7 most powerful foodies”, along with First Lady Michelle Obama, nutritionist Marion Nestle and The New York Times' columnist Mark Bittman. On November 19, The Times' Bittman listed EWG among 25 people and organizations for whom he was thankful as Thanksgiving approached. In its 2011 roster of Washington's top lobbyists, The Hill, the newspaper of Capitol Hill, said Cook “is at the forefront of challenges to corn ethanol and subsidies for Big Agriculture, upcoming hot-button issues as Congress tackles energy matters and starts work on a new farm bill.” Cook was voted the “Ultimate Green Game Changer” in 2009 by the readers of The Huffington Post. As Arianna Huffington put it, “The EWG is an environmental superhero with a full set of digital tools in its arsenal.” Cook is a principal architect of the landmark conservation provisions of the 1985 farm bill, which for the first time attempted to shift U.S. farm policy from a narrow focus on maximum crop production to conservation of land, water, wetlands and wildlife. The legislation was the most important environmental farm policy reform of recent years, affecting more than 400 million acres of privately owned - and publicly subsidized - farmland. EWG's online database listing every farm subsidy recipient in the nation and the amount of money each receives has generated thousands of stories about America's broken farm policy. A New York Times profile of Cook said the website helped “transform the [2002] farm bill into a question about equity and whether the country's wealthiest farmers should be paid to grow commodity crops while many smaller family farms receive nothing and are going out of business.” Cook and EWG played a similarly prominent role during the crafting of the 2008 farm bill. In the 1990s, EWG's research on pesticides was a major factor in the passage of the landmark pesticide reform law, the Food Quality Protection Act. EWG was among the first organizations to draw attention to the health threat posed by the weed-killer atrazine, conducting the first extensive tests for the chemical in tap water in 29 Midwestern cities. Cook has addressed food and agriculture policy in numerous interviews, including 60 Minutes, the CBS Evening News, NBC Nightly News, the Today Show, MSNBC, CNBC, FOX Business News, CNN's Anderson Cooper 360, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Associated Press, Reuters, The Los Angeles Times and The San Francisco Chronicle. Cook testifies regularly before House and Senate committees, has briefed top Congressional staff and has met with senior Obama administration officials, including Secretary of Agriculture Thomas Vilsack and Environmental Protection Administration chief Lisa Jackson. Cook earned a B.A. in history, B.S. in agriculture and M.S. in soil science from the University of Missouri Columbia. He is a board member of The Organic Center and the Amazon Conservation Team. He is married to Deb Callahan and lives in northern California with their young son, Callahan.  Environmental Working Group:  https://www.ewg.org/ Skin Deep Database:    https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/ Tap Water Database: https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/ State of American drinking water: https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/state-of-american-drinking-water.php The 2024 Dirty Dozen: https://www.ewg.org/foodnews/dirty-dozen.php   Ken Cook's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kencookspodcast/and     HEADQUARTERS 1436 U St. NW, Suite 100 Washington, DC 20009 ❘ P: 202.667.6982 F: 202.232.2592 CALIFORNIA OFFICE 2201 Broadway, Suite 308 Oakland, CA 94612 ❘ P: 510.444.0973 F: 510.444.0982 MIDWEST OFFICE 103 E. 6th Street, Suite 201 Ames, IA 50010 ❘ P: 515.598.2221

The pandemic led to an increase in new ideas and people in packaged goods, with social media playing a big role.

Listen in for a fascinating conversation about the packaged goods industry and the creation of Soul Grain.Stephanie's Dish Newsletter is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Stephanie [00:00:13]:Hello, everybody, and welcome to the makers of Minnesota Podcast, where we talk to cool people doing cool things. I'm here with Lisa Jackson and Sylvia Williams, and they are the owners of Soul Grain, LLC. Soul Grain is a granola product and talk about fantastic packaging. Welcome to the program, you guys.Liza Jackson [00:00:34]:Thank you. Thank you for having us.Sylvia Williams [00:00:36]:Yeah.Stephanie [00:00:37]:How did the whole granola idea start? Which one of you had it first?Liza Jackson [00:00:44]:Actually, I think it was a combination, actually. We started with bars. We shifted to granola. But I'm lisa. I'm a nutritionist. Sylvia is a pastry chef. So we wanted to combine our interest and come up with super interesting flavors that are inspired by both of our cultures and background.Stephanie [00:01:02]:So tell me a little bit about that and how the granola is different than some of your traditional flavors.Sylvia Williams [00:01:09]:Well, for these granola flavors, we decided to dig into our cultural backgrounds and grab something, some flavors that you might find at our grandmother's house or something. So we chose banana pudding, which is anytime you go to a cookout or anything like that, you're going to have some banana pudding. Thanksgiving, we're always going to have a sweet potato casserole. And then we used the flavors of the Caribbean for our cocoa, mango, and spice. Paradise has grains of paradise in it. And that is a spice that's commonly used in North African cooking, which is part of Lisa's ancestry.Stephanie [00:01:55]:So you guys, just for those of you that are listening, lisa and Sylvia are African American, thus talking about the culture and specific to where these flavors are coming from. I didn't realize that there weren't really these flavors on the market in a granola setting. But they're not. No.Liza Jackson [00:02:19]:That's where we come in.Stephanie [00:02:20]:Yeah. I guess because I'm white, I don't think about other cultures in terms of flavor profiles. And maybe we've learned to associate maybe hot things with the Latina culture, and there's, like, hot chili and some of those flavors that you'll see there. But I am really excited to try different flavors and experience food from different cultures. How has it been received?Liza Jackson [00:02:49]:Oh, my God. We had an amazing response. Banana pudding is our best seller. But all of them, really everybody's really loving them.Stephanie [00:02:58]:They're so different and really feel different in the flavor profile and more interesting. Way more interesting.Liza Jackson [00:03:06]:Way more interesting than you're a pumpkin spice granola. Right. So we wanted to make the granola business a little more interesting.Stephanie [00:03:14]:How has it been? Your packaging is really great. Which one of you guys worked on the logo?Sylvia Williams [00:03:22]:Yes. We came up with an idea, and then we contacted our friend Troy Gua, who is an artist who's known kind of wildly throughout this area, specifically because he makes a Prince doll, and he's real big on social media. So he came to our attention, and we became friends. And so I contacted him with our ideas, and he created this amazing logo.Stephanie [00:03:51]:It is an amazing logo. And now that you talk about the Prince doll, I know exactly what you're talking about because I think he's coloring book and some other things and clearly is Soul Grain a play on the Soul Train?Sylvia Williams [00:04:04]:Yeah.Liza Jackson [00:04:05]:Soul Train and Whole grain with soul, right?Stephanie [00:04:08]:Exactly. That's so great. I love it. Okay, so you decide that you're going to make this product. Did you right away start out in a commercial kitchen or did you go to a distributor?Liza Jackson [00:04:19]:We started in our kitchen, actually with a cottage food license and then made our step up to a commercial kitchen.Stephanie [00:04:26]:It's interesting because before the Pandemic Cottage Foods license were pretty limited and I think the amount that you could sell was like 7500, and now you can sell up to 75,000 and still have a cottage food license. And I don't know that people know that.Sylvia Williams [00:04:44]:Oh, wow.Liza Jackson [00:04:45]:We didn't know that.Sylvia Williams [00:04:49]:I think so. Also, just to be able to make it on a scale that we needed to make it, we had to be in a commercial kitchen because my oven can only make so much granola.Stephanie [00:04:59]:Yeah, exactly. So where's your commercial kitchen now?Sylvia Williams [00:05:03]:It's called Water's Edge Kitchen and it's in Maplewood. It's a gluten free kitchen because we're a gluten free product.Stephanie [00:05:10]:Are you finding a lot of camaraderie in the kitchen, too? Is that kind of an unexpected bonus of being in the commercial kitchen? Sure.Liza Jackson [00:05:18]:Amazing makers in there.Sylvia Williams [00:05:23]:I'm sorry?Stephanie [00:05:24]:I said I think you learn a lot from other makers.Sylvia Williams [00:05:27]:Absolutely.Stephanie [00:05:29]:When you thought about how you're going to bring this product to market, what were your steps and what did you think the market was and has that turned out to be the market?Liza Jackson [00:05:40]:Well, we knew the market, obviously, the granola market is very crowded, so that's why we came up with the different flavor profile first and then thought we would enter the market that way.Stephanie [00:05:51]:And how do you get the word out? Do you go to markets? Do you work with a distributor? Do you cold call grocery stores and food co ops yourself? Well.Sylvia Williams [00:06:07]:We'Ve had a lot of success just when we approach the stores and they try our product and we've gotten a lot of success that way, and it's just kind of been snowballed. And we go to another store and then some stores have called us.Stephanie [00:06:26]:How many stores are you in right now?Sylvia Williams [00:06:29]:We are in two kowalski. We're getting ready to expand to the rest of them. We're in Regions Hospital and their gift shop, and we are at Camden Foods.Liza Jackson [00:06:43]:The airport store.Stephanie [00:06:44]:Yes.Liza Jackson [00:06:45]:We are soon to be in a lot of places that we can't quite say yet.Stephanie [00:06:51]:I understand.Liza Jackson [00:06:53]:But we're definitely growing and that's super exciting. It's still just the two of us, so we try on the scale strategically.Sylvia Williams [00:07:01]:Yes.Stephanie [00:07:01]:Do you have other full time jobs as well?Liza Jackson [00:07:06]:Yes, I do.Stephanie [00:07:10]:Okay. So have you guys distributed the division of labor to be like, okay, this will be your area, this will be my area, or are you collaborating, kind of, on all those decisions?Liza Jackson [00:07:21]:I mean, we call it out, but I think things kind of naturally fall in place, which is, I think, beautiful about our relationship. It kind of just happens.Stephanie [00:07:28]:How long have you guys been friends? You're very relaxed about this whole thing, which I love. Oh, yeah.Liza Jackson [00:07:34]:We've been friends for, what, over 14 years now?Sylvia Williams [00:07:36]:Yeah.Stephanie [00:07:37]:Okay. So you kind of figure out, you know, what each other's strengths and weaknesses are. But in when you run a business, that's harder. Have you come up against any stumbling blocks? Like, I ran a business with my husband, and, boy, did I learn a lot about working together. Not always favorable, I got to admit.Liza Jackson [00:07:55]:So far, we've been great.Sylvia Williams [00:07:56]:Honestly.Liza Jackson [00:07:57]:We had no hurdles on that part.Stephanie [00:07:59]:Right.Liza Jackson [00:07:59]:The hurdles are the business, but not in our relationship now.Sylvia Williams [00:08:03]:Yeah. We just perfectly work together in sync. And it's the weirdest thing because there's never been an issue, and I don't foresee any issues.Stephanie [00:08:16]:That is a little weird, but amazing. How do you guys get people to sample your products?Sylvia Williams [00:08:24]:We visit stores and we do samplings. Yes.Stephanie [00:08:27]:And once we know that once people sample a product, the likelihood of them buying it I think I heard once it was as high as if you're good at it, 30%. If you're okay at it, it's still as high as, like, 20%. Has that been your experience?Sylvia Williams [00:08:44]:I would venture to say that our response has been greater than that. As soon as people taste our granola, it's so unique. It's unique in flavor and in texture because it has a really light crunch as opposed to a hard it's very crispy as opposed to really hard crunch. So when I go to the stores and we do these pop ups, usually I would say nine times out of ten, people will buy the granola.Stephanie [00:09:12]:I love it.Liza Jackson [00:09:14]:We sell out for sure at all the events we've done.Stephanie [00:09:16]:Is there any fruit in yours?Liza Jackson [00:09:20]:Any what?Stephanie [00:09:21]:Fruit.Liza Jackson [00:09:22]:We have two flavor that don't have fruit or nuts.Stephanie [00:09:25]:Okay.Liza Jackson [00:09:26]:And obviously cocoa. Mango has mango.Stephanie [00:09:29]:Oh, yeah, obviously. Sorry, I forgot about that one.Sylvia Williams [00:09:34]:But Neutral Nelly doesn't have fruit or nuts for anybody who has sensitivities. And Spice Paradise has nuts but no fruit.Stephanie [00:09:43]:Okay. So kind of a mix. Were you big granola eaters yourselves before you ventured into this product?Liza Jackson [00:09:53]:I don't like granola. I like mine, though. I like ours. Seriously? I'm from France originally, and it's not a big thing there. And when I came to the US. I don't know, I never got into it until we created this product. Now I'm a big granola fan. So grain granola.Stephanie [00:10:13]:And do they have musli in France? Yeah, a little bit different.Liza Jackson [00:10:19]:So different.Stephanie [00:10:20]:Yeah. When you go and you look at your event profile, do you do any events that aren't in grocery stores? Like, are you doing any markets? Are you doing any tasting and sampling out and about in the community?Sylvia Williams [00:10:37]:We've done a few. We just did a vegan festival in New Jersey. We don't have anything on the docket right now.Liza Jackson [00:10:46]:We have one coming up. It's like a little outside market, but it's for a realtor company.Sylvia Williams [00:10:52]:Yeah.Liza Jackson [00:10:52]:So we do stuff like that. Okay.Stephanie [00:10:57]:So people will try your granola because the flavor what do you want them to know about your company? Just about you. Are there people that you are finding along the way that have been helpful to you or what kind of resources do you need moving forward?Liza Jackson [00:11:15]:What kind of resources do we need? I mean, obviously, as most small business, capital is becoming an issue, but we're going to work through that, hopefully. What was the other question? Sorry?Stephanie [00:11:31]:Is there anything you want people to know about you? Like, from a standpoint? Do you need help with social media? Do you need help with connections? If people are listening to this podcast and like the granola and want to help spread the word, what can they do to help?Liza Jackson [00:11:46]:All of the above.Sylvia Williams [00:11:47]:Yeah.Liza Jackson [00:11:47]:Right.Sylvia Williams [00:11:48]:We are really new at this and we are very passionate about what we're doing, but we're also learning as we go, so we would love any help, any resources would be lovingly appreciated.Stephanie [00:12:05]:Yeah. And have you had inventory issues? Because it's hard to when you're starting out, trying to get capital, your product is probably a little expensive because of the nuts and the fruit, so having enough capital to make enough and then freshness can be an issue, too.Liza Jackson [00:12:22]:That's a good part about granola. Right. It has a shelf, the life of six to nine months. So we haven't ran into that because we sell out pretty quickly. Oh, that is get to that.Stephanie [00:12:32]:All right, well, I'm going to keep my ears peeled and if I know anybody, because I welcome you guys to the space. We have so many new people that have come into packaged goods since COVID right. Because a lot of people got rejuvenated and thought about new ideas and they had the time because we weren't necessarily going into work, so people had the time to think of new products. And I would think social media has been a traditional big platform for granola makers. Is that a big platform for you?Liza Jackson [00:13:08]:We try. Right. It's just us doing it. So I'm not great at social media. That would be a great help. We could use as far as marketing, but not too much as far as social media.Stephanie [00:13:20]:So just getting it in people's mouths is what it sounds like.Sylvia Williams [00:13:23]:Yeah.Stephanie [00:13:24]:And your packaging is lovely, which helps.Liza Jackson [00:13:27]:Thank you.Stephanie [00:13:28]:Yeah. All right. Are there other products that you guys are both jazzed about that you've seen that when you're out and about that, you're like, oh, I just love that person so and so.Liza Jackson [00:13:40]:Let me think. We're so focused on our own right now, honestly, right? Like, blinders on. I can't think of a new yeah, we have a new product, and you can cut that out if it's not appropriate. But that's hemp infused. We have a granola hemp infused. That's amazing.Stephanie [00:14:00]:Okay, so let's talk about that because it's legal, and hemp has been legal for some time now. We're into more consumables. So if you eat hemp granola, what is the effect that you would feel in most cases?Sylvia Williams [00:14:15]:Well, it is THC. So it's a 3.25 ounce bag, and it has 20 milligrams of THC in it. We tell our newbies to start with a quarter of the bag, and it has a very calming, relaxing feel to it. We have some clients who suffer from some ailments, some cancer patients, and some I have a client who has Ms, and she takes it, and it helps with her muscle twitches, and it helps her to sleep. And I have another friend who has trouble eating, and it helps him with his appetite. And everybody says it doesn't necessarily make you sleepy, but when you do go to sleep, you sleep like a baby. So we created this granola with these health benefits in mind for people who wanted something healthier than a gummy or some of the sugar laced. So we wanted to provide something that was healthy and also had these benefits with them as well. So we just have one flavor. It's called Lemon Meringue High, and we're going to develop some more flavors here shortly.Stephanie [00:15:32]:Well, that's super unique and really on trend and very valued in the marketplace right now. People are really hopping on the THC products, and taste is a big part of that. Right. They have to taste good, and it is hard to get some of them to taste good. Some of the seltzers just taste like dank bong water, if I'm being perfectly exactly.Liza Jackson [00:15:54]:That's what I was going to say for sure. So that's what we wanted to create something that tastes good. There's no aftertaste. You can't taste or smell it at all. THC at all. It tastes amazing. And it has no high fructose corn sugar. They really put high fructose corn syrup. They usually put in gummies and things like that. So it's clean and healthy.Stephanie [00:16:14]:I love it.Sylvia Williams [00:16:15]:Delicious. And people have a problem stopping. That's why I only put 20 milligrams in the bag, because I can eat a whole bag and be a okay. And most people can eat 20 milligrams and be okay, but you got to be careful when you're eating it, because.Stephanie [00:16:32]:I'm the person that would eat the whole bag and be catatonic for 4 hours, not a big THC consumer. So maybe I will be over time. I don't know. It's all new to me, too. Well, it's been super nice to talk to you. Soul Grain. And the product looks great. Tastes great. I'm excited to have you guys on the scene. Hopefully, I'll run into you at a pop up before too long and consider coming out to Stone Arch Bridge Festival next year, because that's a market that I do with folks and some of the vendors that I have. It's the market that kind of launched them. So I'll look forward to connecting with you guys next year.Sylvia Williams [00:17:09]:Okay, that sounds good.Stephanie [00:17:11]:All right, we'll talk to you soon. Thanks, ladies.Sylvia Williams [00:17:13]:Thank you. Bye. This is a public episode.

I'm here with Lisa Jackson and Sylvia Williams, and they are the owners of Soul Grain, LLC. Soul Grain is a granola product and talk about fantastic packaging. Welcome to the program, you guys.Liza Jackson [00:00:34]:Thank you. Thank you for having us.Sylvia Williams [00:00:36]:Yeah.Stephanie [00:00:37]:How did the whole granola idea start? Which one of you had it first?Liza Jackson [00:00:44]:Actually, I think it was a combination, actually. We started with bars. We shifted to granola. But I'm lisa. I'm a nutritionist. Sylvia is a pastry chef. So we wanted to combine our interest and come up with super interesting flavors that are inspired by both of our cultures and background.Stephanie [00:01:02]:So tell me a little bit about that and how the granola is different than some of your traditional flavors.Sylvia Williams [00:01:09]:Well, for these granola flavors, we decided to dig into our cultural backgrounds and grab something, some flavors that you might find at our grandmother's house or something. So we chose banana pudding, which is anytime you go to a cookout or anything like that, you're going to have some banana pudding. Thanksgiving, we're always going to have a sweet potato casserole. And then we used the flavors of the Caribbean for our cocoa, mango, and spice. Paradise has grains of paradise in it. And that is a spice that's commonly used in North African cooking, which is part of Lisa's ancestry.Stephanie [00:01:55]:So you guys, just for those of you that are listening, lisa and Sylvia are African American, thus talking about the culture and specific to where these flavors are coming from. I didn't realize that there weren't really these flavors on the market in a granola setting. But they're not. No.Liza Jackson [00:02:19]:That's where we come in.Stephanie [00:02:20]:Yeah. I guess because I'm white, I don't think about other cultures in terms of flavor profiles. And maybe we've learned to associate maybe hot things with the Latina culture, and there's, like, hot chili and some of those flavors that you'll see there. But I am really excited to try different flavors and experience food from different cultures. How has it been received?Liza Jackson [00:02:49]:Oh, my God. We had an amazing response. Banana pudding is our best seller. But all of them, really everybody's really loving them.Stephanie [00:02:58]:They're so different and really feel different in the flavor profile and more interesting. Way more interesting.Liza Jackson [00:03:06]:Way more interesting than you're a pumpkin spice granola. Right. So we wanted to make the granola business a little more interesting.Stephanie [00:03:14]:How has it been? Your packaging is really great. Which one of you guys worked on the logo?Sylvia Williams [00:03:22]:Yes. We came up with an idea, and then we contacted our friend Troy Gua, who is an artist who's known kind of wildly throughout this area, specifically because he makes a Prince doll, and he's real big on social media. So he came to our attention, and we became friends. And so I contacted him with our ideas, and he created this amazing logo.Stephanie [00:03:51]:It is an amazing logo. And now that you talk about the Prince doll, I know exactly what you're talking about because I think he's coloring book and some other things and clearly is Soul Grain a play on the Soul Train?Sylvia Williams [00:04:04]:Yeah.Liza Jackson [00:04:05]:Soul Train and Whole grain with soul, right?Stephanie [00:04:08]:Exactly. That's so great. I love it. Okay, so you decide that you're going to make this product. Did you right away start out in a commercial kitchen or did you go to a distributor?Liza Jackson [00:04:19]:We started in our kitchen, actually with a cottage food license and then made our step up to a commercial kitchen.Stephanie [00:04:26]:It's interesting because before the Pandemic Cottage Foods license were pretty limited and I think the amount that you could sell was like 7500, and now you can sell up to 75,000 and still have a cottage food license. And I don't know that people know that.Sylvia Williams [00:04:44]:Oh, wow.Liza Jackson [00:04:45]:We didn't know that.Sylvia Williams [00:04:49]:I think so. Also, just to be able to make it on a scale that we needed to make it, we had to be in a commercial kitchen because my oven can only make so much granola.Stephanie [00:04:59]:Yeah, exactly. So where's your commercial kitchen now?Sylvia Williams [00:05:03]:It's called Water's Edge Kitchen and it's in Maplewood. It's a gluten free kitchen because we're a gluten free product.Stephanie [00:05:10]:Are you finding a lot of camaraderie in the kitchen, too? Is that kind of an unexpected bonus of being in the commercial kitchen? Sure.Liza Jackson [00:05:18]:Amazing makers in there.Sylvia Williams [00:05:23]:I'm sorry?Stephanie [00:05:24]:I said I think you learn a lot from other makers.Sylvia Williams [00:05:27]:Absolutely.Stephanie [00:05:29]:When you thought about how you're going to bring this product to market, what were your steps and what did you think the market was and has that turned out to be the market?Liza Jackson [00:05:40]:Well, we knew the market, obviously, the granola market is very crowded, so that's why we came up with the different flavor profile first and then thought we would enter the market that way.Stephanie [00:05:51]:And how do you get the word out? Do you go to markets? Do you work with a distributor? Do you cold call grocery stores and food co ops yourself? Well.Sylvia Williams [00:06:07]:We'Ve had a lot of success just when we approach the stores and they try our product and we've gotten a lot of success that way, and it's just kind of been snowballed. And we go to another store and then some stores have called us.Stephanie [00:06:26]:How many stores are you in right now?Sylvia Williams [00:06:29]:We are in two kowalski. We're getting ready to expand to the rest of them. We're in Regions Hospital and their gift shop, and we are at Camden Foods.Liza Jackson [00:06:43]:The airport store.Stephanie [00:06:44]:Yes.Liza Jackson [00:06:45]:We are soon to be in a lot of places that we can't quite say yet.Stephanie [00:06:51]:I understand.Liza Jackson [00:06:53]:But we're definitely growing and that's super exciting. It's still just the two of us, so we try on the scale strategically.Sylvia Williams [00:07:01]:Yes.Stephanie [00:07:01]:Do you have other full time jobs as well?Liza Jackson [00:07:06]:Yes, I do.Stephanie [00:07:10]:Okay. So have you guys distributed the division of labor to be like, okay, this will be your area, this will be my area, or are you collaborating, kind of, on all those decisions?Liza Jackson [00:07:21]:I mean, we call it out, but I think things kind of naturally fall in place, which is, I think, beautiful about our relationship. It kind of just happens.Stephanie [00:07:28]:How long have you guys been friends? You're very relaxed about this whole thing, which I love. Oh, yeah.Liza Jackson [00:07:34]:We've been friends for, what, over 14 years now?Sylvia Williams [00:07:36]:Yeah.Stephanie [00:07:37]:Okay. So you kind of figure out, you know, what each other's strengths and weaknesses are. But in when you run a business, that's harder. Have you come up against any stumbling blocks? Like, I ran a business with my husband, and, boy, did I learn a lot about working together. Not always favorable, I got to admit.Liza Jackson [00:07:55]:So far, we've been great.Sylvia Williams [00:07:56]:Honestly.Liza Jackson [00:07:57]:We had no hurdles on that part.Stephanie [00:07:59]:Right.Liza Jackson [00:07:59]:The hurdles are the business, but not in our relationship now.Sylvia Williams [00:08:03]:Yeah. We just perfectly work together in sync. And it's the weirdest thing because there's never been an issue, and I don't foresee any issues.Stephanie [00:08:16]:That is a little weird, but amazing. How do you guys get people to sample your products?Sylvia Williams [00:08:24]:We visit stores and we do samplings. Yes.Stephanie [00:08:27]:And once we know that once people sample a product, the likelihood of them buying it I think I heard once it was as high as if you're good at it, 30%. If you're okay at it, it's still as high as, like, 20%. Has that been your experience?Sylvia Williams [00:08:44]:I would venture to say that our response has been greater than that. As soon as people taste our granola, it's so unique. It's unique in flavor and in texture because it has a really light crunch as opposed to a hard it's very crispy as opposed to really hard crunch. So when I go to the stores and we do these pop ups, usually I would say nine times out of ten, people will buy the granola.Stephanie [00:09:12]:I love it.Liza Jackson [00:09:14]:We sell out for sure at all the events we've done.Stephanie [00:09:16]:Is there any fruit in yours?Liza Jackson [00:09:20]:Any what?Stephanie [00:09:21]:Fruit.Liza Jackson [00:09:22]:We have two flavor that don't have fruit or nuts.Stephanie [00:09:25]:Okay.Liza Jackson [00:09:26]:And obviously cocoa. Mango has mango.Stephanie [00:09:29]:Oh, yeah, obviously. Sorry, I forgot about that one.Sylvia Williams [00:09:34]:But Neutral Nelly doesn't have fruit or nuts for anybody who has sensitivities. And Spice Paradise has nuts but no fruit.Stephanie [00:09:43]:Okay. So kind of a mix. Were you big granola eaters yourselves before you ventured into this product?Liza Jackson [00:09:53]:I don't like granola. I like mine, though. I like ours. Seriously? I'm from France originally, and it's not a big thing there. And when I came to the US. I don't know, I never got into it until we created this product. Now I'm a big granola fan. So grain granola.Stephanie [00:10:13]:And do they have musli in France? Yeah, a little bit different.Liza Jackson [00:10:19]:So different.Stephanie [00:10:20]:Yeah. When you go and you look at your event profile, do you do any events that aren't in grocery stores? Like, are you doing any markets? Are you doing any tasting and sampling out and about in the community?Sylvia Williams [00:10:37]:We've done a few. We just did a vegan festival in New Jersey. We don't have anything on the docket right now.Liza Jackson [00:10:46]:We have one coming up. It's like a little outside market, but it's for a realtor company.Sylvia Williams [00:10:52]:Yeah.Liza Jackson [00:10:52]:So we do stuff like that. Okay.Stephanie [00:10:57]:So people will try your granola because the flavor what do you want them to know about your company? Just about you. Are there people that you are finding along the way that have been helpful to you or what kind of resources do you need moving forward?Liza Jackson [00:11:15]:What kind of resources do we need? I mean, obviously, as most small business, capital is becoming an issue, but we're going to work through that, hopefully. What was the other question? Sorry?Stephanie [00:11:31]:Is there anything you want people to know about you? Like, from a standpoint? Do you need help with social media? Do you need help with connections? If people are listening to this podcast and like the granola and want to help spread the word, what can they do to help?Liza Jackson [00:11:46]:All of the above.Sylvia Williams [00:11:47]:Yeah.Liza Jackson [00:11:47]:Right.Sylvia Williams [00:11:48]:We are really new at this and we are very passionate about what we're doing, but we're also learning as we go, so we would love any help, any resources would be lovingly appreciated.Stephanie [00:12:05]:Yeah. And have you had inventory issues? Because it's hard to when you're starting out, trying to get capital, your product is probably a little expensive because of the nuts and the fruit, so having enough capital to make enough and then freshness can be an issue, too.Liza Jackson [00:12:22]:That's a good part about granola. Right. It has a shelf, the life of six to nine months. So we haven't ran into that because we sell out pretty quickly. Oh, that is get to that.Stephanie [00:12:32]:All right, well, I'm going to keep my ears peeled and if I know anybody, because I welcome you guys to the space. We have so many new people that have come into packaged goods since COVID right. Because a lot of people got rejuvenated and thought about new ideas and they had the time because we weren't necessarily going into work, so people had the time to think of new products. And I would think social media has been a traditional big platform for granola makers. Is that a big platform for you?Liza Jackson [00:13:08]:We try. Right. It's just us doing it. So I'm not great at social media. That would be a great help. We could use as far as marketing, but not too much as far as social media.Stephanie [00:13:20]:So just getting it in people's mouths is what it sounds like.Sylvia Williams [00:13:23]:Yeah.Stephanie [00:13:24]:And your packaging is lovely, which helps.Liza Jackson [00:13:27]:Thank you.Stephanie [00:13:28]:Yeah. All right. Are there other products that you guys are both jazzed about that you've seen that when you're out and about that, you're like, oh, I just love that person so and so.Liza Jackson [00:13:40]:Let me think. We're so focused on our own right now, honestly, right? Like, blinders on. I can't think of a new yeah, we have a new product, and you can cut that out if it's not appropriate. But that's hemp infused. We have a granola hemp infused. That's amazing.Stephanie [00:14:00]:Okay, so let's talk about that because it's legal, and hemp has been legal for some time now. We're into more consumables. So if you eat hemp granola, what is the effect that you would feel in most cases?Sylvia Williams [00:14:15]:Well, it is THC. So it's a 3.25 ounce bag, and it has 20 milligrams of THC in it. We tell our newbies to start with a quarter of the bag, and it has a very calming, relaxing feel to it.

It's really about recognizing that, you know, there is an opportunity in everything. And for me, that opportunity was to escape at 14, and whilst on the streets, I thought, well, I can either live on the streets and do lots of drugs or become a sex worker...Neither of those things were what I wanted to do. What I really wanted to do was to become a social worker or become a nurse, or become someone who could help others out of this. But first I had to lift myself out of this. So, when I look back at my 14-year-old self and my 15-year-old self and 16 and 17-year-old self, I just cannot believe the wisdom I had then. And sometimes I think about things, and I wonder. I know I'm still not as wise now as I was then in some things. So, yeah, it's pretty interesting."www.sydney.edu.auwww.sydney.edu.au/content/dam/corporate/documents/about-us/values-and-visions/one-sydney-many-people-digital.pdfSeason 2 of Business & Society focuses on Leaders, Sustainability & Environmental Solutions Business & Society is a limited series co-hosted by Bruce Piasecki & Mia Funk www.oneplanetpodcast.org

It's really about recognizing that, you know, there is an opportunity in everything. And for me, that opportunity was to escape at 14, and whilst on the streets, I thought, well, I can either live on the streets and do lots of drugs or become a sex worker...Neither of those things were what I wanted to do. What I really wanted to do was to become a social worker or become a nurse, or become someone who could help others out of this. But first I had to lift myself out of this. So, when I look back at my 14-year-old self and my 15-year-old self and 16 and 17-year-old self, I just cannot believe the wisdom I had then. And sometimes I think about things, and I wonder. I know I'm still not as wise now as I was then in some things. So, yeah, it's pretty interesting."www.sydney.edu.auwww.sydney.edu.au/content/dam/corporate/documents/about-us/values-and-visions/one-sydney-many-people-digital.pdfSeason 2 of Business & Society focuses on Leaders, Sustainability & Environmental Solutions Business & Society is a limited series co-hosted by Bruce Piasecki & Mia Funk www.oneplanetpodcast.org

Yet at the same time, we are getting pressured strongly to dig up more pristine land and pollute water sources for this thing called gas, or this thing called coal. These fossil fuels that are going out of favor and won't be around in 30, 40, 50 years.Because we would've grown a brain by then and done something quite different to resource our hungry needs of energy. But when you look at the cost of that, our world is going to take millennia to regenerate again. and it's going to take a real concerted effort for us to be careful about feral species, to be careful about weeds, about monocultures, to recognize that if we don't have diversity in our biosphere, we have got absolutely no chance of surviving.I'll put it in a slightly different way. Aboriginal people have been on this land for at least 60,000 years, through some will say it's the oldest continuing culture on the planet. People have been here in the most the driest continent on Earth, in some of the most extreme conditions on Earth through all that time and have survived. And not just survived, but thrived. And over the last 230 years, the most catastrophic events have occurred to this land because people didn't listen to ancient Aboriginal cultures and languages and knowledge. And I don't mean ancient in that they were practiced only a millennia ago. They're practiced all the way up to now. And because people haven't been listening to that, these catastrophes have been happening. And I would bet that there is all of that knowledge where you live as well, and where all of your listeners are living as well. So my question is, if people were able to look after this place for 60,000 years and thrive, what have we done to ensure that we do have a healthy fit world for the next 60,000 years?And I don't think we can see beyond a hundred, to be honest. And I think we should really get on with getting it right. And my job as an educator, I'm doing my bit and I know lots of others are doing their bit, but how do we really stand in history as being the generation, no matter what our brains, no matter what our education, no matter what our resources and our embeddedness is, that we couldn't deal with what we have faced now, and that's our own extinction."www.sydney.edu.auwww.sydney.edu.au/content/dam/corporate/documents/about-us/values-and-visions/one-sydney-many-people-digital.pdfSeason 2 of Business & Society focuses on Leaders, Sustainability & Environmental Solutions Business & Society is a limited series co-hosted by Bruce Piasecki & Mia Funk www.oneplanetpodcast.org

And it is critical that for our mob, we come from the land. And when we go, we go back to the land. The land is so important. It has never been ceded or sold. It is such a precious resource. And it's fascinating. I work with a classical historian, and we've had many a conversation. And back in antiquity, people recognized the value of land. They recognized that if you damage the land, you won't be able to grow your crops. If you pollute the waters, you won't be able to drink or bathe and be refreshed, healthy, and clean. And somehow the industrial world kind of lost sight of that, right? Really, really lost sight of that. And the diversity of the ecology has evolved over billions of years to provide this beautiful thing called balance. And what we are now is a world profoundly out of balance in every part of it. And the pillaging and absolute mass slaughter of anything that is of the land or comes out of the land, in the modern parlance, is something that I know we will not be remembered well for in history.We are currently sitting in a very pointed part of history where, at the moment, we have got koalas crossing the roads in rather urbanized environments because we've completely broken their link to be able to eat, and they're starving. They're the ones that survived the fires. You know, we are at the moment on the pointed end of extinction of so many species in Australia that it just makes your heart break, if you think about it too closely, that biodiversity was part of the unique balance in our world."www.sydney.edu.auwww.sydney.edu.au/content/dam/corporate/documents/about-us/values-and-visions/one-sydney-many-people-digital.pdfSeason 2 of Business & Society focuses on Leaders, Sustainability & Environmental Solutions Business & Society is a limited series co-hosted by Bruce Piasecki & Mia Funk www.oneplanetpodcast.org

For some FSU students, starting college looks a little different - they arrive sometimes with no more belongings than what can fit in a garbage bag. Our guest this week, Lisa Jackson ('14, '15), manages the CARE and Unconquered Scholars programs to support these students, who often come from the foster care system, homelessness, or relative care, through academic, financial, and social support services. In our interview, you'll see how you can support CARE and Unconquered Scholars, too. Also on today's show, we preview upcoming Spring Homecoming activities, hear an update from FSU news on a new partnership for the FSU Mag Lab, and preview the upcoming TEDxFSU event on April 7.

Ah Lisa Jackson. If you ever wanted to be inspired to run anything – but particularly a marathon – Lisa is your woman. I met her first last year at Run Fest, and then again at the start of this year, and both those times, I left feeling energised, inspired and pretty invincible, to be honest. She has run over a hundred marathons, and one of the many wonderful things about her is that she is fully proud of coming last in 25 of those marathons. She's a back-of-the-pack runner, and she loves it there: she loves to chat to the runners and hear their stories. She loves the feeling of inclusivity, and she loves hearing about the journeys that all these runners have been on. To that end, she's written a couple of brilliant books, that I would recommend for all runners: there's Running Made Easy, the sort of running manual that you need next to your bed, and Your Pace Or Mine – now available on audiobook as well as paperback. In this she details her journey from committed fitness-phobe to committed marathoner, and all the extraordinary people she's met along the way. It's joyous. When I met her back in January, we talked about how she used to skive off running as a kid, how she got into running in her 30s, how she discovered walk-running, and the advice she has for all of us who are terrified about taking on a marathon. She's a force of nature – you will want to run!
