The discussion included some key takeaways and memorable moments including:Lewis noted that respect is necessary for both men and women when having these conversations in addition to setting boundaries and also mentioned that many men may lack respect because they fear that, “if they are vulnerable, they will suffer at the hands of other people, specifically men.”Lambertson has noticed, from her experience in the natural products industry, that men are less likely to invest in female entrepreneurs because there is concern that women must split their time between work and being a caretaker at home. Instead of continuing with this belief, businesses need to change their ideas of what “work” looks like and create an environment that is attractive to all people with different needs.Honeyman expressed that he was happy to see both men and women from all different backgrounds as part of the conversation on sexism because everyone is affected by it, not just women. He also noted that, for him, respect is a “baseline necessity” and believes we need “not just respect, but creating belonging” for everyone moving forward.Each guest noted that respect seemed to be a common theme for this panel.

#044: Alan Lewis of Natural Grocers shares some (pretty disturbing) insights about the effects consolidation in our distribution and supply chains are having on small farmers. Long gone are the days of your local food co-op unloading just-picked produce from the back of pickup truck! Here instead is more industrial food than ever, that's been engineered for delivery and storage with zero loss - and zero flavor. Alan Lewis is the VP of Government Affairs, Stakeholder Relations, and Organic Compliance at Natural Grocers. His 2019 talk at the first annual Real Organic Symposium blew a lot of minds, as he described the massive consolidation in the natural foods industry, which has been boiled down to two distributors. In addition to his roles with IFOAM North America, the Non-GMO Project, and the Organic + Natural Health Association, Alan serves on the Real Organic Advisory Board.To watch a video version of this podcast please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/alan-lewis-real-farm-food-rare-in-stores-episode-forty-fourThe Real Organic Podcast is hosted by Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon, engineered by Brandon StCyr, and edited and produced by Jenny Prince.The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States this year. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce. It also identifies pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs as compared to products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/farmsWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be. But the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing small farms that follow the law. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but are still paying a premium price. The lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000 Real Friends!https://www.realorganicproject.org/1000-real-fans/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/

We recently had the honor and pleasure of facilitating a talk for Natural Grocers on Food Quality. We talked a little about how upgrading your quality can impact your results. We also went into a spectrum of quality for most common foods we purchase. Remember what you want from your health efforts: Improved body composition. Improved health. Remember why you're eating food in the first place: For nutrients to contribute to structure, form, and function. These nutrients build the body and contribute to all the functions of the body. For metabolic flexibility and fat burning. You want to eat food in a way that nurtures your body's ability to use fat for fuel. Eating this way contributes to and optimal body composition and metabolic health - the absence of metabolic syndrome = an ideal body composition, normal blood pressure, blood sugar handling capacity, low triglycerides, and high HDL.

How to Compete and Win Against the Giants in your Industry, with Tyler Ornstein, Ep 182

Just The Tips, with James P. Friel and Dean Holland

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 28, 2021 56:00

Standing apart from your competition is something we hear a lot about as entrepreneurs, but it can be easier said than done. This is especially true when you’re in a market with heaps of competition from industry giants. Even so, there are people making it happen, including this week’s guest, Tyler Ornstein, founder of Tylers Coffees®. Coffee is the second largest industry in the world, second only to petroleum, so there’s no shortage of “giants” to compete against. Yet Tylers Coffees® has been around for sixteen years, is available in 500 retail locations as well as online, and now ships 40,000 units of coffee a month. Clearly, being the David in an industry packed with Goliaths didn’t prevent Tylers Coffees® from becoming a mass success. Tune into this episode to hear Tyler’s tips, lessons, and strategies that any entrepreneur in any industry can use to successfully wage war on a business battlefield full of “giants.” It’s Not The Coffee, It’s The Acid Tylers Coffees® were conceived when Tyler was just 14 years old. He and his father often bonded over coffee, until his dad was told, by his doctors, that he couldn’t drink coffee anymore. It was due to his stomach issues. The acid in the coffee was exacerbating those issues. Instead of simply rolling over, however, Tyler’s dad, a chemist, figured out a way to brew organic, acid-free coffee that he could drink. Validate Your Idea First Even at age 14, Tyler recognized that other people with stomach and digestive issues who had to avoid acidic foods might be interested in his dad’s acid-free coffee. So, he rode around the neighborhood on his bike, knocking on doors and offering free samples to neighbors. Tyler remembers following up with a particular little old lady, who told Tyler the coffee did not hurt her stomach. She asked how she could obtain more, and what it cost. Tyler continued to hear from people with similar experiences, which gave him proof of concept and inspired him to start selling Tylers Coffees®. What Tyler did--testing his offer’s viability--is a step new entrepreneurs often skip, to their detriment. In this episode, Tyler describes a simple, affordable way to test your product’s viability. How Do You Compete With Starbucks And Folgers? You Don’t! Attempting to directly compete with the “giants” usually leads to price wars, since there’s really nothing differentiating you from the competition. Instead of competing directly with the major coffee brands, Tylers Coffees® caters to health conscientious coffee drinkers--specifically, people with digestive issues who can’t tolerate the acid in normal coffee. As a result, Tyler can charge more for Tylers Coffees®, help people enjoy a beverage they may not otherwise be able to, and provide a superior product. You Don’t Need Money, You Need Customers When an aspiring entrepreneur tells Tyler they “need money,: his next question is usually, “Do you have customers?” These days there are lots of ways to acquire money for product creation, but what good is any product if there aren’t people willing to buy it? It may sound counterintuitive, but the more you focus on a market you can serve, the better your odds of creating a product people want to buy. Retail Is Dead...Or Is It? Because lockdowns and COVID restrictions make shopping at a retail location challenging, many retail sectors are suffering. Online shopping as a whole contributes to this dynamic as well. But that still doesn’t mean retail, as a whole, is dead. In this episode Tyler offers tips on getting your products into retail stores, including whether it’s currently worth the effort to do so with your particular product. He also shares what it took to get Tylers Coffees® into Natural Grocers. Outline of This Episode How to tell whether you’re “entrepreneuring” correctly [4:01] Why growing a business is like raising a child [7:24] Shipping coffee from a bedroom [14:21] The one question Tyler asks aspiring entrepreneurs [19:05] An easy way to test your product’s viability [27:17] The retail side of selling [37:17] From sixty employees to two [49:18] Resources & People Mentioned https://tylerscoffees.com/ Tylers Coffees on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tylersacidfreecoffee/ Tylers Coffees on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TylersCoffee/ Tylers Coffees on Twitter: https://twitter.com/tylerscoffees Email Tylers Coffees at contact@tylerscoffees.com Music for “Just The Tips” is titled, “Happy Happy Game Show” by Kevin MacLeod (http://incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License Connect With James and Dean James P.

https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/killercells My guest on today's podcast, Jonathan Clinthorne, PhD, has an intimate knowledge regarding the role that diet plays in immune function. Although it flies under the radar in nutrition science, the idea that certain nutrients can interact with the function of a type of cell known as a natural killer (NK) cell is very unique, an enchanting concept and certainly cutting edge, especially when you consider the role of mTOR activators such as leucine, and mTOR suppressors such as calorie restriction and intermittent fasting on NK cell maturation and function. Dr. Clinthorne is an ultra-endurance athlete who was awarded his PhD in Human Nutrition from Michigan State University. He has served on numerous medical advisory boards and has been an author or coauthor on a number of research papers covering topics such as aging, caloric restriction, omega-3 fatty acids, probiotics, immune function, inflammation and human nutrition. When not working as the Manager of Scientific Affairs and Nutrition Education at Natural Grocers, you can find Jonathan running, climbing or skiing in the mountains of Colorado. Jonathan happens to have an expert working knowledge of exactly to manipulate NK cell function on a daily basis to provide yourself with the most appropriate immune response for the season or around times of intense competition such as a triathlon or marathon, and during our discussion, you'll discover: -How Jonathan discovered the intriguing link between NK cells and calorie restriction while studying human nutrition...[9:30] -Why an NK cell needs to be given a "license to kill", and how that can happen...[13:00] -What keeps NK cells from destroying your own tissue...[15:20] -How the active hexose correlated compound one can find in mushroom extracts are particularly effective for NK cell activation, and the type of mushroom that works best...[22:15] -The link between intermittent fasting, caloric restriction and NK cell protection against respiratory infections in athletes...[24:30] -Whether wine or resveratrol can activate NK cell function, and why they need to be limited to ensure the hormetic response to exercise isn't blunted...[28:50] -How curcumin can be used correctly to lower the risk of flues and respiratory tract infections...[31:35] -The fascinating concept of how the bacteria in your lungs take cues from the bacteria in your gut...[34:30] -Why you should avoid folic acid and folate on the label of a multivitamin...[40:50] -And much more!

Tim Joseph had no farming experience. He had never even milked a cow. In 2004, he received a fast education when sixty-four cows stepped off the trailers onto his land. Thrown into the fire, Tim and his wife Laura started selling milk while Tim worked a full-time corporate job from home. In 2009, they went "all in", opened a storefront and transitioned to making dairy products, like yogurt and cheese. And the company started to grow.. Over a two-year span from 2011-2013, Maple Hill Creamery went from being on shelf in about 600 stores—mostly independents in the Northeast—to over 6,000 stores, including Whole Foods Market, Sprouts, Target, Walmart, Ahold, Safeway, Natural Grocers, EarthFare, and many others. Tim is also committed to building the Maple Hill Milkshed, the community of nearly eighty 100% grass-fed dairy farms in New York. A fun, incredible success story. I had a lot of questions for Tim: Working from home and dairy farming on the side, how did you manage your time? How did you make the transition from conventional dairy to organic grass-fed dairy? How did you manage the fear of stepping out and doing something different? What's a day like on the farm? Cow milking 101? Why does grass fed dairy make sense? What was the initial response to "grass fed dairy? How did you manage growth from 600 to 6000 stores? What were the keys to such rapid growth? How do you view trade shows from a P/L perspective? How is yogurt made? What about Greek yogurt? When is it time to go "all-in" with your food startup? What questions do you need to ask yourself? Will you hire robots to milk cows?

He rarely uses sunscreen, instead deciding to titrate up his sun exposure as the season goes on.

His 9 year old son was in for his yearly checkup and they tested his cholesterol and it was also high. The doctor said if they don't get a handle on it in the next 6 months they want to put him on statan drugs, which Rick went on 10 years ago and experienced bad side effects.

Toxins in Your Deodorant with Sarah Isley is the topic on Exploring Mind and Body. I asked Sarah to come on because after designing your own clean product like Sarah has you know the ins and outs of the industry, you know the time and effort it takes to develop a product and you know the ingredients it takes to find out what works, what others are using and how you can improve on what's out there today. Who is Sarah Isely? We are 8 siblings raised with the philosophy that what you do to your body matters. Everything you put in or on your body either nourishes or sabotages your health. Our grandma was a pioneer in health in the 50's and she taught us well. Because of this legacy, health and sustainability became more than a passion for us, it's become the only way to live. One problem has been finding products that don't compromise beauty for health, let's face it! they both matter. We were unwilling to smell bad no matter what, and we could not find a natural deodorant that worked at all. We decided to make one, and make sure it worked so well that we could quit drugs (aluminum, triclosan) and still have a social life. We did it. We now hand it over to you for the same purpose. In life we believe in being real, and really caring. Always being passionate and keeping the balance. Healthy is our lifestyle, people are our passion.
