Bill Shufelt, co-founder of Athletic Brewing, hasn't just built a successful drinks company — he's revolutionized the entire American market for non-alcoholic beer. And he's done it in just six years. Bill gave up a comfortable life in finance because he knew that if he was interested in drinking non-alcoholic beer, other people would be too. But it was an uphill battle, because non-alc beer has been a stigmatized product in the U.S. almost since Prohibition. He was turned down by almost every brewer he approached, and at times was reduced to approaching strangers in liquor store parking lots to help him sell his product. Today, Athletic Brewing has grown to become the 13th-largest U.S. craft brewery and the second-largest non-alcoholic beer brand in the U.S. In 2022, Athletic was ranked as the 26th fastest-growing private company in America by Inc. Magazine and named one of TIME's “100 Most Influential Companies.” Join us for a fascinating conversation, as Bill explains how he built the company, and where he sees the market going next. Key Insights: Why non-alc beer is a major volume saver for retail and on-premise accounts. How Athletic got its first Whole Foods placement (awesome story!). How 66 individual investors took Athletic from its Seed Round all the way to Series B. Why DTC is the best channel for innovation. What the U.S. non-alc drinks segment can learn from their counterparts in Europe. The path Athletic sees for NA beer to grow to 10-20% of all adult beverages.

How do we harness modern technology to truly touch lives, especially when addressing the silent epidemic of social isolation in our aging population? Today, I am privileged to introduce to you my colleague and friend, Kyle Rand. He is the CEO of Rendever, a visionary who took personal inspiration from his grandparents' experiences and turned them into a revolutionary solution.

This groundbreaking innovation isn't just tech for tech's sake. It is a beacon of hope, reducing social isolation and bringing the vast expanse of the outside world to older adults, irrespective of their physical boundaries. As we visit today, we talk about our time at CES and seeing AgeTech Collaborative from AARP and the momentum, recognition, and excitement we observed. We also uncover the heart and the science behind Rendever, the stories from senior living communities, family caregivers, and older adults, and the ripple effects that this platform is creating in reshaping the future of care. You don't want to miss this conversation as we talk about the journey of our emotions and the intersection of technology, empathy, and human connection. Kyle, I deeply admire your work, and I feel incredibly fortunate to count you as a friend. Thank you for weaving magic into our lives with Rendever.

Recently named one of “Time 100 Most Influential Companies of 2023,” Patagonia has been widely regarded over the years for its ground-breaking environmental and social practices. The company that pioneered corporate responsibility is now in its 50th year and has plans to thrive responsibly for another fifty. The Future of the Responsible Company: What We've Learned from Patagonia's First 50 Years reveals how businesses and nonprofits can (and should) prioritize purpose over profit to restore and protect our home planet. Written by Vincent Stanley, Patagonia's Director of Philosophy (also one of the company's original employees), with Yvon Chouinard, founder and former owner of Patagonia, the book challenges business owners and leaders to rethink their business in a time of cultural and climate chaos. The advice is simple, but powerful: reduce your environmental footprint (and its skyrocketing cost), make legitimate products that last, reclaim deep knowledge of your business and its supply chain to make the most of opportunities in the years to come, and earn the trust you'll need by treating your workers, customers, and communities with respect.

Kyle Rand founded a company called Rendever, which uses Virtual Reality technology to deliver experiences that help reduce social isolation and loneliness in the aging population.   They have created a large library of content from travel to symphonies to meditation and so much more. The experiences are transformative and they've been able to validate the effectiveness with data that shows its positive impact.  Kyle grew up volunteering in a senior living community — which has inspired this work —  and he went on to study the cognitive decline in the aging population. His neuroscience research was largely focused on the link between functional structural changes in the brain that happen as you age. That said, we think his technology and content have the potential to help many populations. Kyle was named to Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2019 and Rendever was recently honored on the 2022 TIME list of 100 Most Influential Companies.

Today, Tasha Polster has overseen the national rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine in thousands of stores across the country. As a healthcare leader who is helping to reimagine how care can and should be delivered in this “new normal,” Tasha shares her inspiring story, and her perspective on the value of innovation, collaboration and partnership during challenging times.

She also founded Humedica, the Institute for Health Metrics, and PriviaSource. She received a Bachelor's degree in History from Yale, a J.D. from the University of Connecticut, and an MPH from Harvard University. Key Insights:A.G. Breitenstein was looking to make change in healthcare at a system's level when she caught the entrepreneur bug. Structural Inefficiencies. Healthcare has big structural inefficiencies, but there are many factors that keep those inefficiencies in place. One person's inefficiency is another person's revenue stream. Entrepreneurs must understand the context of the ecosystem and have the acute knowledge of the walls they might hit. Once they reach scale, they can knock those walls down. (15:02)Building a Brand. A.G. shares that FOLX Health was intentional about branding. They wanted patients to like the packaging, the feel of the organization, and feel that the brand represented them as people in the world.Healthcare rarely focuses on brand development, which A.G. sees as a missed opportunity. (20:14)Advice for Young Entrepreneurs. Be obsessive about learning; even on your best days you will mostly be wrong. Understand the context of the healthcare ecosystem, because most often the best solutions come from inside the system. Lastly, engage and build with your patient communities. (28:21)This episode is hosted by Lynne Chou O'Keefe.

Ezra Miller is creating yet another headache for Warner Bros. and its major franchises - do we agree Fantastic Beasts is cursed at this point? We've got a single recommendation across the panel this week: check out the new Marvel show on Disney+, 'Moon Knight.' Our resident Marvel expert Marc makes a 'surprise' appearance on the show to review Moon Knight with us, and sheds some light on why Marvel is debuting lesser-known characters in its shows now. How is Marvel doing updating its properties for the big and small screen? What lessons can other franchises take from their success? We also review Time's 100 Most Influential Companies of 2022. While there is plenty to be celebrated in this list, there are a few head scratchers... *cough*NEXTDOOR*cough* Amazon and Disney both made the Time 100 list, which presents a perfect opportunity for us to mention some other ways these giants have been making headlines in recent weeks. Amazon warehouse employees in Staten Island voted to unionize - a first for Amazon, which has been notoriously anti-union. Better late than never? Disney came out with a strong statement against the passage and implementation of Florida's 'Don't Say Gay' legislation. In response, Florida Republicans have publicly suggested stripping Disney of its special privileges of self-governance around its Orlando theme parks. We hear from The Mouse himself, and he has a strong message for the Florida GOP. Confessional: "I am so tired of spending so much money on other people's weddings. Am I the asshole?" This week's recommendation is seeing alignment from the whole panel: Watch 'Moon Knight' on Disney+! As a bonus, check out the deep dives Marc and Durden77 have been doing into all things Marvel.

Each of the panelists bring their own real-life stories in which we might be kinda dickish... Giving family ultimatums? Stealing money? Having fond memories coincide with the date of a national tragedy? Yikes! Can kids be assholes? Maybe!

It seems like everyone is obsessed with fast fashion, and social media has been huge in helping brands like SHEIN, Zara and other online retailers show up in your Instagram, Facebook and TikTok feeds. Love 'em or hate 'em, you can't deny these brands have changed many people's relationship with clothing. Shopping is cheaper, sizing is seemingly more inclusive, and being trendy is more accessible than ever. SHEIN even landed a spot on TIME's 100 Most Influential Companies of 2022 list for its impact. But before you hit check out on your cart, know this: there are some real environmental costs to buying these uber cheap clothes. Ahead of Earth Day, we're returning to one of our favorite episodes to share the three questions you should be asking yourself to see if that $20 top is really worth the cost.
