Should workforce transformation belong to HR? Bettina Dietsche, Group Chief People and Culture Officer at Allianz, doesn't think so. Bettina leads the people agenda for around 156,000 employees at Allianz. She came to HR after 25 years in IT and digital transformation, picking up the people function while serving as COO of Allianz Commercial during a company turnaround. That background shapes her view that HR's job is to challenge and push transformation onto the business agenda - not to own it.In this episode, David and Bettina discuss: Why she believes HR should challenge and nudge workforce transformation, while ownership sits with the businessHow 25 years leading IT and digital transformation, including a COO turnaround, shaped her approach to the CPO roleWhy she runs regular sessions with more than 60 CEOs across Allianz, and what that partnership actually looks like in practiceHer test for a healthy culture - what people do when no one's watching - and why she calls culture "the hardest currency"How Allianz builds daily AI habits into leadership, from "AI gem sessions" to asking each morning what AI can help with firstWhy she sees AI creating as many new early-career roles as it displaces, and how Allianz is reshaping graduate hiring around that This episode is sponsored by Valence.

After following up on Justice Alito's summer interview, the new birthright-citizenship executive orders, and the Court's record-low approval numbers, we devote the episode to Cisco Systems v. Doe, the Falun Gong surveillance case that closes the door Sosa v. Alvarez-Machain left open for new Alien Tort Statute claims. We try to build a theory of the ATS from first principles — Section 9 of the Judiciary Act of 1789, the law of nations, and the Marbois affair — before running through two decades of the Court narrowing the statute. Then we ask what to make of "door closing" as a phenomenon, from Edwards v. Vannoy to Rucho, and whether the Court would really be stuck if the perfect ATS unicorn finally showed up. Along the way: whether Justice Alito is an I-95 or an Amtrak guy, the seven-case October calendar led by Suncor, Rooker anti-Feldmanism, and a Phoenix bar band called the Blackstone Three.Highlights[00:00:21] Opening: 29 episodes makes a record-breaking season, and the secret to sub-4-hour recording sessions[00:02:28] Justice Alito's WSJ interview with James Taranto: "Obviously I'm here for another term," the vultures, and his high school English teacher's psychoanalysis[00:06:27] How Will became a libertarian: Mr. Flannery, Lexis news alerts for "Ayn Rand," and golfer David Duval[00:09:48] Still no action on the mail-in voting applications; a White House ballroom emergency application expected any day[00:11:15] No rehearing petition in Trump v.

In this episode, Cory Connors sits down with Crystal Bayliss, Executive Director of the U.S. Plastics Pact, to unpack a pivotal year for the organization. Crystal shares how a sustainability sign on an office water cooler sparked her personal journey from food and ingredient procurement into packaging sustainability, and how that path led her to the Pact — first as a member representative, then as a program manager, and eventually to the organization's top leadership role. Cory and Crystal dig into the departure of major member companies ahead of the 2025 targets, why the original goals were always meant to be a "blank sheet of paper" starting point, and what comes next as the Pact rolls out new, more flexible ways for companies to engage. The conversation also covers the recent leadership transition at the Pact, the case for voluntary industry action paving the way for smart regulation, and the newly released Film & Flex Circularity framework tackling one of packaging's most contentious materials.Key Topics Discussed:Crystal's path from procurement into plastics sustainability and up through the U.S. Plastics PactWhy major brands (Walmart, Mars, Mondelez, Nestlé) stepped back from the Pact ahead of the 2025 deadlineThe reality behind the 2025 targets: only ~50% of packaging reusable/recyclable/compostable and 11% recycled/bio-based content achieved, against 100% and 30% goalsNew, more flexible engagement tiers coming soon for Pact members with narrower packaging portfoliosThe recent CEO transition and Crystal's move from Director of Strategy & Engagement to Interim CEO to Executive DirectorVoluntary industry action vs. mandatory regulation, and how the Food Safety Modernization Act offers a precedentCalifornia's SB 54 and the Pact's role advising policymakersThe new "Journey to Film & Flex Circularity" framework and the unique challenges of flexible film packagingAtlantic Packaging's circular stretch film recycling system in North CarolinaWhat gives Crystal hope for the future of sustainable packaging amid regulatory uncertaintyResources Mentioned:U.S. Plastics PactJourney to Film & Flex Circularity: A Framework of Necessary Design, Collection, and End Market LeversCalifornia SB 54, Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility ActFDA Food Safety Modernization ActEllen MacArthur Foundation's New Plastics Economy InitiativeContact:Listeners interested in learning more about the U.S. Plastics Pact or its upcoming membership options can visit usplasticspact.org.Support our Sponsors:3M https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/packaging-shipping-fulfillment-us/applications/sealing-recycled-corrugate/ Specright: https://www.specright.com/ Forest: https://www.forest-pkg.com/Thank you for tuning in to Sustainable Packaging with Cory Connors!https://anewearthproject.com/collections/new-earth-approvedConnect with CoryConnect with Cory on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cory-connors/I'm here to help you make your packaging more sustainable!

Nestlé just dropped $523 million dollars to fully acquire the German complete nutrition brand Yfood. But don't totally overlook this as just another simple brand acquisition. And that's because it could become an important part of Nestle's (mostly still disguised) global strategy to conquer the “Age of Ozempic” marketplace. Obviously, increasing household penetration of weight-loss drugs mean less food overall is being eaten, which has driven demand for hyper-concentrated, nutrient-dense meals, snacks, and liquids instead. But let's see if Nestle begins to utilize Yfood as a gateway to drive GLP-1 patients into their new companion frozen food line…and eventually into personalized health platforms. Nevertheless, this isn't a one-off, as Danone and Lactalis are buying up competitors too…further strengthening my long-held thesis that in the modern CPG business landscape, true power belongs to those not just feeding consumers (but fueling them).

Victor Penev, Founder and CEO of Edamam LLC, is on a mission to help people make healthier food choices by organizing the world’s food knowledge, while building a Zero-Spend Marketing Engine that fuels sustainable growth through a proprietary semantic food database. By combining food science, nutrition expertise, and AI-powered technology, Victor has built Edamam into a trusted food intelligence platform that enables businesses to develop innovative health, wellness, and nutrition applications while making reliable food data accessible at scale. In this conversation, Victor introduces The Democratic Decisions Framework—No Pre-Judgement, Freedom to Speak Up, Intellectual Environment, Robust Discussion, and Work Towards Consensus. He explains why removing preconceived opinions encourages better ideas, how open dialogue and diverse perspectives lead to stronger decisions, and why working toward consensus builds lasting commitment across teams. Victor also shares how partnerships, referrals, and search authority fueled Edamam’s sustainable growth, and why proprietary data and continuous human refinement remain the company’s competitive advantage in the age of AI. — Zero-Spend Marketing Engine with Victor Penev Good day, dear listeners. Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast. Today, my guest is Victor Penev, the Founder and CEO of Edamam LLC. Edamam is helping people eat better by making daily food choices simple and easy, eventually organizing all the food knowledge in the world. To that end, the company has built a proprietary semantic food knowledge base and is creating, on top of it, a range of consumer and business applications to solve real-world, everyday problems. Wow. Victor, welcome to the show. Thank you. Good to be here. I’m very excited. So I was shocked to learn that you’ve got 900,000 foods in the system and 2.3 million recipes. I mean, I don’t know who is even able to create so many recipes. So how did that whole thing come about? How did you come up with this idea? Are you a foodie? I am a foodie. Yeah, that’s kind of the origin story. I’m a serial entrepreneur. I’ve done a few startups. I had a successful exit about 15 years ago. A friend of mine and I built Bulgaria’s largest internet company. Then I started looking for what to do next. I was actually going to start a news organization, but then I realized one day, on a beach in Thailand, that I think about food five hours a day, and I cook every day. So I might as well do something around food that helps people. I married my passion for food with my passion for technology and built a company.Share on X The problem we set out to solve back then is still a very valid problem. People need the right information, just in time, to make the right food choices. The data is always inconsistent, incomplete, and lacking. So we set out to organize the world’s food knowledge so we can help people make the right food choices. Wow, this is fascinating. So what is your personal ‘Why’ that you’re manifesting in this business? So, in terms of philosophy—and my philosophy changes. Everybody’s personal philosophy changes over time. But where I am right now, I think there are a couple of things that really matter if you want to live what one would call the good life—a meaningful life. One is to be really present in the moment. You know, be here now. The other is to help people. I think my business falls into…Share on X For us, the measure of success is not revenue or profit. It’s how many people we ultimately reach through our data. It’s worth noting that we’re a business-to-business company, so we don’t reach people directly. But we have partnerships with companies like Nestlé, Microsoft, Amazon, and Food Network. Through those partnerships, we think we reach at least a billion people. For us, that’s the real measure of success. Helping everybody eat better and live longer, healthier lives. My vision is that everybody can live to 120 without chronic illness or mental conditions. A big part of that is food. So we're trying to help people. That's my 'Why'.Share on X Yeah, I love it. Obviously, eating healthy is a big thing. You know, garbage in, garbage out. This is fascinating. Do you find that certain cultures have better eating habits than others? And what drives it? I think history and geography, to some extent. Everybody knows about the Mediterranean diet. And it’s not only the countries around the Mediterranean. Vietnamese and Japanese cuisine are Mediterranean in the composition of the food. A lot of it comes from being close to water, living in a certain climate, and having a huge variety of fruits, vegetables, and fish. But I think the biggest change over the last hundred years hasn’t been culture. It’s been technology—quote-unquote—and the processing of food so it’s shelf-stable, can be shipped, and sold at a lower price. I think that’s the biggest problem. It’s changing eating habits everywhere in the world. It’s very well known in the United States and, to some extent, in Western Europe. But even places like Japan are starting to eat a lot more processed food. Mexico is starting to eat a lot more processed food. This is more technology-driven than anything else. If I had to say one thing that would help people, it would be this: Go back to your roots. Get food directly from the soil. Cook it at home. It's a question of time and effort, but if you value your health, that's one of the best investments you…Share on X Yeah, as we’re getting busier and busier, the opportunity cost of cooking our own meals is becoming higher. And that’s the real problem. It is a problem. I mean, it’s a question of priority. I cook every day. I’m very busy, but for me, it’s an important enough thing. Food, apart from nourishment and nutrition, is also a very social thing. People connect through food and spend time together, and that’s another thing that correlates very well with longevity and a well-lived life. So there’s a lot more to be said about having good food. Yeah, I think Woody Allen said in one of his movies that eating together is the second sexiest thing to do, or something like that. Yeah, there you go. I’m not going to ask what the first one is. Yeah. That’s awesome. So let’s talk about frameworks. This podcast is all about frameworks. What’s a framework that you’ve discovered along the way that helps you think about your business, create outcomes in your business, help other people be productive, or whatever it is that’s driving results in your business? A couple of things come to mind. I’ll start with the non-obvious one. Some people speak about it, but I’ve practiced it, and I think going slow gets you further. You know, the hare and the tortoise. I am definitely against growth for growth’s sake. That drives a lot of decisions: who you raise money from, how you run your business, and so on. Over the years—and I’ve been an entrepreneur for probably close to 40 years—I’ve discovered that every successful product has its timing and its soul. You just have to let it come to fruition. Sometimes that means slowing down instead of rushing forward. For me, being deliberate about the end goal without having time constraints is a framework that’s always helped me. It’s not for everyone. Definitely not for the modern world, where VC money is trying to get you to grow very fast, and everybody competes based on how fast their revenue or customer base has grown. But I find that this does not lead to lasting results in terms of impacting humanity and having a meaningful life—both for yourself and for everybody in the company. So that’s one framework. The other, which is also very simple, though not too many people execute it, is just: treat people like people. This means there’s no hierarchy in my company. I’m super proud to say that in my last company, I never had an employee leave. And that was over 15 years. It’s because I treat people as people. Going back to the Latin origin of the word companion, companio, which means “to break bread together.” We are a band of people breaking bread together on a journey. That’s how it works. That means doing things that are not intuitive in business. For example, having no advance notice requirement for vacations. If you want to take a vacation, take it now. Giving responsibility to people and treating them well. Those are the two frameworks that I think have helped me. In addition, making decisions democratically, which is a very contentious thing in business. Okay. So how do you do that? There is always, ultimately, an arbiter, which is oftentimes me or some kind of board. But that means having a robust discussion around a topic without preconceived notions of what the end decision or result should be. Creating a culture where everybody can speak up, argue, and tell you they disagree with you. Having that freedom creates an intellectual environment where people really debate.Share on X At the end, more often than not, the obvious decision emerges. It takes a long time, but the reality is that once a decision is made, everybody has bought into it, and it’s usually the right decision. So I don’t make wrong turns. Now, there are times when it’s a coin flip. There are two equally good—or equally bad—options, and somebody has to make the call. Then it falls to me. But for the most part, it’s democratic decision-making. So how do you cultivate that? How do you foster it? How do you make sure people contribute to it? I’ve had the luxury of starting a company from scratch. It’s a lot easier to do when you start from scratch because you establish the culture with the first hire. It’s a lot harder to change a culture and instill new values. For me, it's been a very deliberate choice about what I want the company to be. People working together toward a common goal. People who don't get overworked. People who always have something exciting to do and an amazing group of people to work…Share on X So it’s about hiring people who are reliable, self-sufficient, and want to move things forward. Then really showing that any conversation and any intellectual argument is absolutely allowed. There is no hierarchy where you can say something and I’ll just shut you down because I’m the boss. You have to demonstrate that in practice. You have to actively solicit everything a person has to say. After the first couple of hires, it becomes easier with the next ones because they see what’s going on. That’s how you do it. It’s a deliberate choice to build the culture through day-to-day interactions. There’s no easier way, unfortunately. So how scalable is this flat, democratic culture? Does it impact scalability in any way? It is scalable. My current company is small, but my previous company had about 150 people. Even when we sold the company and had to find a replacement CEO, the candidates had about 50 interviews each. At the end, the whole company voted on who the CEO would be. It is scalable. It slows down the decision-making process, but it speeds up the progress of the company. An individual, even the smartest individual, is more likely to make mistakes than the crowd. Now, there are exceptions. I’m pretty sure Steve Jobs would have done it differently. But for the most part, I think people make fewer errors through a democratic process than by making decisions on their own. So yes, I think it’s scalable. It’s really a matter of deciding which decisions belong at which level. You don’t have the entire company of, say, 10,000 people voting on one thing. For a particular problem, there might be 10 people who are the relevant decision-makers. They get together and sort it out, and everybody else accepts what those people decide. So it’s more of an approach to tapping into the minds of the people who can potentially bring diverse opinions. Yeah. Diversity of opinion. They all have a different angle from which to look at the issue that needs to be resolved. So different angles. Because they’re all impacted, everybody can contribute. There’s respect in listening to everybody else. It’s not that one person establishes the ground truth and everybody else has to agree. There is actual debate. Yeah. Interesting. By the way, I just want to comment on this bootstrapping aspect. I saw your post on bootstrapping. You spoke at a recent conference on it. So what are your thoughts on bootstrapping? What are the critical ingredients there? So bootstrapping is the way business has been run for a very long time. It’s only recently—in historical terms—that the venture capital industry emerged and allowed businesses the luxury of building without thinking too much about the bottom line. But I think the disciplining effect of constantly thinking about the bottom line is super important. To some extent, it takes a certain kind of individual to do it, which I call the true entrepreneur. Those are the people who are risk-takers and can live with a very high degree of ambiguity. When you don’t have money in the bank to cover next month’s expenses, you have to be comfortable with that. To me, that’s the right entrepreneur. It has become too easy for people to become “entrepreneurs” by raising tens of millions of dollars. That’s not to say they might not be brilliant people who execute very well and create amazing companies. I think those are probably one in a thousand. The majority get the money, spend it in two years, and they’re gone. So for me, bootstrapping is the proof in the pudding. If you do it day in and day out and keep moving forward, you're actually building something that's valuable.Share on X Yeah, I agree. Some people say it’s akin to being an employee when you raise money and just have to get to the next fundraising round, and then the next fundraising round. It’s almost like executing the business plan your board has given you. Exactly. Worst case, you go take a job somewhere else if things don’t work out. But you’re not losing your livelihood, and your family isn’t going to starve, right? It is a certain type of personality, and I don’t think it’s for everyone. But my personal belief is that if you’re going to build a business, you’re better off building it with a little bit of hunger. Not always having enough. Having just enough so you can keep moving forward. Yeah. Necessity is the mother of invention, right? If you don’t have too many resources, that’s a constraint you can push against and come up with better ideas. It’s a forcing function. Correct. There you go. So, Victor, what drives growth in your business? Like I said, I’m not pro-growth per se. This was also a deliberate choice for the company. Just as a parenthesis, the last business I ran before this was a media business. We sold advertising. I personally don’t believe that spending money on advertising is a good idea. So I built a business with the explicit desire not to spend any money on marketing. That meant I had to build mechanisms for referrals, inbound traffic, and so on. A lot of our early customers—including companies like The New York Times and Food Network—received very high discounts, but with the requirement to display “Powered by Edamam,” linking back to us. Search engines like that. It builds authority and so on. Over the years, we’ve built enough authority that most of our traffic now comes from search engines and chatbots. That’s what’s driving our growth. The other thing is that we try to stay nimble. We build technological assets and products, but the market changes. Who needs the data? For what use cases? It’s important to stay aware of the market and adjust to wherever the opportunity is. That’s how I’ve built the business. I’ve built it to generate lots of inbound traffic and then adjust very quickly if the market changes. The rest is we’re almost like a spider waiting for the flies to come in. So you say you’re not pro-growth. Do you mean you don’t want to make this a bigger company? No. I’m not for growth just for the sake of growth. Let’s grow 300% this year in top-line revenue. For me, as I said, what drives the business is how many people we reach with our data. That’s the metric I’d like to grow as much as possible. If possible, I’d like to reach every person on the planet. That’s the aspiration. When I say I’m not for growth, I mean that sometimes growth becomes its own incentive. You grow without asking, “What’s the ultimate goal here?” Why do you have to grow? Oftentimes, the answer is because you want to sell the company at a big profit. That’s why VCs put money into your company. You’re feeding the VC business model. But if you’re not feeding the VC business model, why do you have to grow the company? What’s the point? You may have investors, but you have patient capital, and they’re aligned with you. Eventually they’ll get their money back, but it doesn’t have to come at the expense of the company’s mission. When I talk about growth, I mean the pressure to constantly grow top-line revenue, which has become very popular over the last couple of decades. So when you say you eventually want to organize all the food knowledge in the world, it sounds a little like Google organizing the world’s information—just for food. Isn’t that a big vision that requires growth? No. Again, I don’t think growth is necessary to execute that vision. I think you can organize the world’s food knowledge, and we’re already well along the way. There’s always more to do. Even with very limited resources, we’ve been able to do it. I think that having more customers and more revenue would probably help, but only on the margin. It’s not a prerequisite. The prerequisite is having the right technology and the right setup to constantly ingest new information about food, pass it through our pipeline, clean it, verify it’s accurate, structure it, organize it, and link it to other data. Food is a relatively limited universe. You started by asking whether people really create 2.3 million recipes. There are only so many ways to combine food items into something people eat. So it’s a limited universe. What’s exciting is the depth of food. There are macronutrients, micronutrients, allergies, diets—we all know about those. But there’s much more. There are many more molecules in food. Eventually, even the soil it was grown in and the amount of sun exposure could become valuable data. There’s always more work to do, but we focus on what’s actually doable right now. So do you envisage that the growth of technology, especially AI, means you can keep the company the same size as it is and accomplish your ultimate mission? I think so. Similar size. To some extent, AI is helping us because it’s bringing a lot more customers. People are building all kinds of applications with large language models and agents, and they need accurate, deep data, so they come to us. We are also using AI to build tools and meet the demand, so our engineers are becoming more effective. So, to some extent, that helps keep the team small. That being said, in terms of the speed with which AI moves, it’d be nice to have a few extra people. That doesn’t mean doubling the size of the company. I think it’s probably having 20 to 30% more people would be sufficient to actually leverage the technology—which is AI—to the best effect. So that’s kind of my view now. Ask me in two months, I may have a different view. So what is one thing that you’re actively trying to figure out in this business right now? Well, AI is throwing a wrench into everything, so it is a very fast-moving environment. Our clients are constantly changing their demands. The profile of our clients is changing. There’s a lot more new health, wellness, prevention, and weight-loss companies that are showing up and starting because they can now build with AI. So all of that makes for a very choppy sea. We can’t figure out exactly where the wind is blowing from and where we should head. So for me, it’s kind of like having the North Star of, “Okay, we are a data company. We leverage our data asset, and we just keep doing that. Then we’ll innovate on the technologies that we need to offer, but stay there, as opposed to trying to change what the company does.” That’s kind of what’s keeping me steady. But again, it’s a very choppy sea, so I don’t know what’s going to happen. One big worry is whether Anthropic or OpenAI are eventually going to replicate everything that we’ve done. I don’t know. I don’t think so. But artificial superintelligence is something that nobody knows about. Yeah. So the technology evolves very fast. So how do you avoid being commoditized by AI? I think the data—our moat is the data, right? It’s taken us so much time to actually clean, organize, and structure the data, and that’s not a process you can do easily just by throwing people or AI at it. We’ve used what used to be called AI since the beginning of the company: machine learning, natural language processing, and so on. Now we use generative AI. But we’ve used that, plus super-smart engineers, food experts, nutritionists, and week in, week out, we’ve been improving the data, improving the algorithms, refining it, and so on. That is not something you can just throw resources at. It requires that constant iteration between humans and technology in order to get there. So for us, I think that’s an important moat because if somebody wants to build it and commoditize us, they’ll have to replicate that. I think the more likely scenario is they may end up buying us. Like I said, artificial superintelligence could be a completely different ballgame. But with the technology that exists right now, with large language models, I don’t think that’s replicable. We know it because enough people have tried. Yeah. Would you be okay with someone buying you? Is this your… Sure. Yeah? Yeah. The way I think of companies is the following. They’re like children. At some point, children become 18-year-olds. They can earn their own bread. They can walk on their own two feet. You kind of have to let them go. I think this company has gotten to that stage. It’s a teenager that can walk on its own. It doesn’t need me. And I have ideas for 10 more businesses. Who knows? If I’m healthy, I think I could probably build another four or five businesses in the next 40 or 50 years. Why not? Yeah. I love it. So who do you want to connect with you, go on your website, check things out, and what’s the best way to engage with what Edamam is doing? Two categories of people or entities. One is companies that are building something around diet management, nutrition, health, or food. I think they’ll find that we have valuable resources that can speed up whatever they’re developing. So that’s one category. The other is like-minded individuals. They could be investors, but they could also just be people who really care about healthy eating and the prosperity of humanity. Those are the types of people I’d like to talk to because aligned minds often come up with new ideas. It’s kind of the Y Combinator thing—lateral thinking. If we have an aligned goal and we come from different fields, we may come up with something new. Okay. So that’s a way for you to find people worth brainstorming with, I guess, who have the same ideas: healthy eating, helping people live longer—to 120 years. And other companies that could be using the data you’re processing and organizing. So if you’re out there and you’re in the food business or the healthy living business, then definitely pay attention. Check out Edamam LLC‘s website. Talk to Victor Penev on LinkedIn.

She's also the author of the Amazon bestseller You're an Executive, But Are You a Leader?, a book that lays out the enduring capabilities required to actually lead — not just hold a title.In this episode, Paul and Sonya discuss how rapid change, economic uncertainty, and AI have shortened planning horizons and made authenticity, vulnerability, trust, and intentional connection (especially in remote/hybrid settings) non-negotiable. They explore employee burnout and anxiety, the need for clarity over false certainty, and leaders' reluctance to make decisions without complete information. Sonya outlines her Red Thread model—purpose, plan, processes, positions, and passion—and argues culture and strategy must “have breakfast together,” using purpose to align teams, break silos, and build sustainable organizations.Humanity Working is a podcast focused on helping individuals, teams and organizations be ready for the future of work by maximizing their human potential.For more information, and access to our weekly newsletter, visit us at humanityworking.net.
During World War II, food rationing in the United States reshaped daily life on the home front in profound and lasting ways. After the U.S. entered the war in December 1941, the government moved quickly to control scarce resources so that troops overseas and Allied nations could be supplied. The Office of Price Administration (OPA) introduced a system of ration books and stamps beginning in the spring of 1942. Every American—adults and children alike—received ration books. To buy restricted items, shoppers needed both money and the correct stamps or points. The system was designed to prevent hoarding, limit price gouging, and ensure more equitable distribution of limited goods.Sugar was the first food rationed, starting in May 1942, and it remained restricted until June 1947—well after the war ended. Each person was allotted roughly half a pound per week (about 26 pounds per year), roughly half of pre-war consumption. Coffee followed in November 1942. In March 1943, meats, cheese, fats and oils (including butter and shortening), canned fish, and canned milk were added. Processed and canned foods were controlled through a points system: “blue points” for canned and dried goods, “red points” for meat, fish, and dairy. Point values shifted with supply, turning grocery shopping into a careful calculation.These restrictions hit home baking especially hard. Sugar and fats were essential to cookies, cakes, and pies. Cooks adapted with ingenuity. Honey, molasses, maple syrup, and corn syrup replaced part or all of the sugar in many recipes. Shortening or margarine often stood in for butter because they required fewer ration points. Some wartime cookie recipes used rendered bacon fat or chicken fat. Nestlé and other companies promoted adapted versions of popular treats, including the relatively new Toll House chocolate chip cookie. Home bakers still found ways to make versions of the cookies, sometimes sending them to soldiers as morale boosters. Chocolate itself was prioritized for the military; Hershey produced dense, heat-resistant “Field Ration D” bars designed more for emergency calories than pleasure, while later tropical chocolate bars improved flavor for troops in the Pacific.Beyond individual recipes, rationing changed what Americans ate and how they thought about food. Victory gardens sprang up in backyards, vacant lots, and public parks; by 1943 an estimated 20 million gardens produced roughly 40 percent of the nation's fresh vegetables. Home canning surged. Macaroni and cheese became a staple because it was filling, required few points, and used little meat. Meatless days and “wheatless” or “porkless” meals appeared on restaurant menus and in household planning. Propaganda posters urged citizens to “Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without.”The system was imperfect. Announcements of upcoming rationing often triggered buying rushes and temporary shortages. Black markets in meat, sugar, gasoline, and tires flourished in some places. Wealthier households sometimes found ways around limits more easily than poorer ones, though the bottom third of earners actually increased their meat consumption slightly under the more equalized wartime distribution. Women, already managing households while many men were away, shouldered much of the extra labor of planning meals around stamps, points, and substitutions.For the military, chocolate and other concentrated foods became important morale and energy sources. On the home front, the restrictions fostered a culture of thrift, experimentation, and shared sacrifice that lasted beyond 1945. When rationing finally ended, many of the habits—greater use of alternative sweeteners, interest in home gardening, and a practical approach to ingredients—lingered. Commercial products that had adapted during the war, including packaged chocolate morsels and convenient mixes, continued to grow in popularity.More Podcasts
In Whitman, Massachusetts, between Boston and Cape Cod, Ruth Graves Wakefield and her husband, Kenneth, transformed a modest Cape Cod-style house into the Toll House Inn in 1930 (The Toll House, Kenneth and Ruth Wakefield, Whitman, Massachusetts, 1930-1935, 2024). At a time when roadside dining options were limited and reliable hospitality was rare, the Toll House Inn rapidly became a regional landmark, serving as both a rest stop for travelers and a gathering place for the local community (Menu, “The Toll House Inn,” circa 1950, 2024). Despite the challenges of the Great Depression, the Wakefields opened their doors with determination, providing guests with warm meals, clean accommodations, and home-cooked desserts that encouraged visitors to linger. Ruth, a trained dietitian and graduate of Framingham State Normal School's household arts program, managed the kitchen with both precision and creativity. Her tall lemon meringue pies, rich Indian pudding, and especially the thin butterscotch nut cookies served with ice cream quickly gained acclaim among guests (Matte, 2023).In the late 1930s, most sources place the pivotal moment around 1937 or 1938, when Ruth Wakefield decided to modify her well-known cookie recipe (Rotondi, 2025). The origins of the chocolate chip cookie have been widely recounted; some details are drawn from Ruth's later interviews, while others have become part of popular legend (Michaud, 2013). Previously, she served a popular butter drop or butterscotch pecan icebox cookie, but she sought to create something new that would surprise her guests (Rotondi, 2025). According to the most widely accepted account, when she reached for baker's chocolate to melt into the dough, she discovered it was unavailable. Instead, she used a bar of Nestlé semi-sweet chocolate, which she chopped into small, irregular pieces with an ice pick. She incorporated these chocolate pieces and chopped walnuts into the batter, expecting the chocolate to melt and create a uniform chocolate cookie during baking (Michaud, 2013).Upon baking, Ruth observed that the cookies emerged golden and crisp at the edges as intended, but the chocolate pieces had not fully melted. Instead, the chocolate retained its shape, softening into creamy, molten pockets within the dough. This unexpected result produced a cookie that combined a tender, crisp texture with distinct bursts of chocolate. Guests at the Toll House Inn responded enthusiastically. Ruth named the new dessert Toll House Chocolate Crunch Cookies and began serving them regularly. Demand increased rapidly, prompting her to publish the recipe in the 1938 edition of her cookbook, Toll House Tried and True Recipes. Local newspapers soon featured the recipe, and home bakers throughout New England began replicating it, leading to a significant rise in sales of Nestlé's semi-sweet chocolate (Tucker, 2021).Full Content More Podcasts

Swiss finance and innovation hub Zurich held its first Climate Week in May 2026, joining a growing global network of cities hosting climate-focused gatherings. All Things Sustainable is the official podcast of Climate Week Zurich, and in this episode, we bring you highlights, key takeaways and a look ahead to the next big events on the climate calendar. To learn about Zurich's approach to decarbonization and climate adaptation, we sit down with the city's Director of Environmental and Health Protection, René Estermann. "We know climate change is a huge risk," René says. "As the major economic driver in Switzerland, Zurich wants to grow its business hubs here for climate technologies, climate science, carbon management ... [and] climate finance ... to turn these risks to opportunities." To understand how financial institutions are responding to growing calls to make the business case for sustainability, we talk to Sabine Döbeli. Sabine is CEO of Swiss Sustainable Finance, a nonprofit whose members aim to strengthen Switzerland's position as a leading worldwide center for sustainable finance. "If you invest today to improve your factory, to have less pollution, to use less water, to have a circular process, then that of course means capex, it means investments," Sabine says. "It will pay off in the long term if you have less costs. But to prove this at every point in time is not always easy." And we talk to Christophe Lumsden, Partner and Sustainability Lead at Ernst & Young AG Switzerland and EY's Global Climate Change and Decarbonization Leader. He says Climate Week Zurich is an example of how climate action continues to develop at a local level even as it faces pushback in parts of the world. "Science is clear. Evidence is there. Climate change is not going away anytime soon," Christophe says. "Health repercussions are massive, human repercussions are big. So we just need to continue the movement." S&P Global Energy is a founding partner and sponsor of the inaugural Climate Week Zurich.

Rafa Flores, Chief Product and Growth Officer of Treasure AI, joins the podcast to talk about his career path from engineering recruiter to “boomerang” leader returning after six years away, and Treasure Data's rebrand to Treasure AI. Flores says the shift is an evolution based on the company's machine-learning and predictive heritage, its technical DNA of using AI internally, and a desire to create a lifestyle-like community brand. He explains Treasure AI Studio, which orchestrates CDP and activation in plain English across web and mobile, enabling faster troubleshooting, campaign deployment, and real-time insights. Flores argues first-party data remains a “goldmine” but must be activated incrementally with governed access; how AI helps answer questions quickly but requires guardrails, discusses fear and overemphasis on speed/cost versus value and predicts growth of “digital workers”. About Treasure AI Treasure AI is the agentic experience platform helping the world's most loved brands finally activate the customer data they already have. Founded in 2011 and backed by SoftBank, the company spent 15 years quietly building the infrastructure behind some of the most recognizable names in retail, automotive, CPG, and financial services — before rebranding in 2026 to reflect what it had always been building toward. Named a Forrester Wave Leader for B2C CDPs, Treasure AI unifies fragmented first-party data into a single living customer profile and puts AI to work on it in real time, on behalf of human marketers who set the strategy and make the calls. The result for brands like Nestlé, AB InBev, Stellantis, and Condé Nast is measurable: millions in recovered media spend, significant revenue generated, and marketing teams that finally get to go home on time. About Rafa Flores Rafa Flores is the Chief Product and Growth Officer at Treasure AI, where he leads product strategy and growth with a simple conviction: the best technology gives people their time back. A builder by nature and a father of four, Rafa has always believed that progress is personal — that the products worth building are the ones that free someone up to be more present, more creative, and more human. That belief drives everything from how he runs his teams to the unconventional call he made to give away free access to a platform traditionally reserved for Fortune 500 companies, a bet that raised eyebrows and is already showing results. He brings that same bias toward progress to every stage he walks onto.

What if the resistance you're seeing from your team isn't opposition at all? David Green is joined by Travis Hahler, who leads global strategy and transformation at Salesforce and is also the founder of Neurological Nomad, where he applies neuroscience and neuropsychology to how leaders manage change. Travis is the author of the new book Rethink Resistance, and his central argument reframes almost everything: resistance isn't personal, it's protective. Why resistance to change should be read as information, not opposition: The six neurological barriers to change, and why leaders need to understand each one How routine and old habits quietly pull people back toward what made them successful before, even when they're not against the future Why cognitive load and pacing determine whether people actually learn through a transformation, or just survive it What employees are really losing in change that's genuinely good for them, and why leaders often miss it How to apply these insights practically to workforce transformation and AI adoption Whether you're leading a transformation right now or preparing for one, this conversation will change how you think about the resistance you're seeing. This episode is sponsored by Valence. Nadia, Valence's AI coaching platform, connects talent strategy to the work employees are actually doing — offering coaching from the frontline to the boardroom, and surfacing organisational insights that weren't visible before. As the most widely deployed coach in the Fortune 500, Nadia is already helping global leaders like Nestlé, Delta, CVS, and Kraft Heinz transform talent at scale.

The wellness CPG space was just rocked by a massive headline: Prenetics announced that its supplement brand, IM8 Health (co-founded with David Beckham), secured a staggering $1 billion non-dilutive growth financing commitment from venture capital titan General Catalyst. But behind the gaudy headlines lies a complex financial mechanism that could either change wellness CPG forever. In this video, I'm breaking down the reality of General Catalyst's Customer Value Fund, unpacking the mechanics of cohort financing, and exposing the silent operational risks known as "Growth Trap Over-Optimization."Is Prenetics executing a brilliant sprint to a Big CPG acquisition, or are they walking into another corporate strategy nightmare? Let's look past the spreadsheet illusion.Additionally, I'll cover key topics like:Prenetics' strategic detour and divestiture of Europa Sports ProductsHow General Catalyst's CVF funds up to 70% of digital marketing spend without equity dilutionWhy software scales effortlessly but physical consumer packaged goods do notHow global CPG giants like Unilever or Nestlé unroll internet-famous brands and fix "cost problems"

Every marketer and business leader is talking about AI right now, but many companies are stuck. They've run the pilots, tried the tools and still can't turn any of it into real results. In this episode, Tessa Burg talks with Dhiraj Rajaram, Founder and CEO of Mu Sigma, about why that gap between AI hype and AI impact exists. And what it actually takes to close it. Dhiraj breaks down some big ideas in an easy-to-follow—and very entertaining—way, like why every new technology creates a bubble and why AI is no different. He explains why most companies are trying to bolt AI onto old ways of working rather than rethink how decisions are made. If you've ever wondered why your company's AI investment has not paid off the way you had hoped, this conversation will give you a new way to think about the problem. You'll walk away with practical language and a framework you can bring back to your own team along with a clearer picture of what needs to change before any new technology can really move the needle. Leader Generation is hosted by Tessa Burg and brought to you by Mod Op. About Dhiraj Rajaram: As Founder, Chairman and CEO of Mu Sigma, Dhiraj Rajaram built one of India's first profitable unicorns. He pioneered decision sciences, digitizing management consulting by mapping decision and perception traces—visionary concepts now critical in an agentic, AI-driven corporate world. Today, Mu Sigma helps over 140 Fortune 500 organizations, including Microsoft, Walmart, Pfizer and Dell, convert technology investments into scalable decision systems. An elite business leader and University of Chicago Booth School of Business Distinguished Alumnus, Dhiraj's background spans consulting at PwC and Booz Allen Hamilton. He has been recognized by Fortune's 40 Under 40 and Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year. He can be reached on www.mu-sigma.com.

Is your HR function organised the way employees actually experience it, or just the way it's always been done? In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, David Green is joined by Tony Truong, VP of People Strategy, Operations, Technology and Analytics at Chime, to unpack why most HR functions are still organised in silos, by specialty, while employees experience work as a series of moments: getting hired, being onboarded, going for a promotion. Tony has spent the last two years closing that gap, rebuilding Chime's people function from the ground up as the company has scaled into a public company. In this episode, David and Tony discuss: Why the real limitation holding HR back is fragmentation, not ambition What it's taken to rebuild a people function from the ground up at a newly public company How AI has reshaped recruiting at Chime, cutting a process that used to take days down to hours Tony's three-stage framework for thinking about AI's role in the business: assistance, automation, and orchestration What it actually looks like to move people analytics from the periphery of HR to the centre of how a business makes decisions This episode is sponsored by Valence. Nadia, Valence's AI coaching platform, connects talent strategy to the work employees are actually doing — offering coaching from the frontline to the boardroom, and surfacing organisational insights that weren't visible before. As the most widely deployed coach in the Fortune 500, Nadia is already helping global leaders like Nestlé, Delta, CVS, and Kraft Heinz transform talent at scale.

Mike Wystrach is the founder of Freshly, the ready-made meal delivery company he launched in 2015 and sold to Nestlé for US$1.5 billion five years later. In this episode, he shares his journey from growing up in an entrepreneurial family on a cattle ranch in southern Arizona to starting Freshly. He and Dave discuss what it takes to scale a physical food business fast, how Freshly hit a US$8 million run rate in five months, and the exhaustion that eventually compelled him to sell. They also cover his current work at PetFolk, his US$75 million consumer VC fund Cutting Horse, and how he thinks about evaluating founders. In his view, grit and coachability are more vital than product and market size.

Convidado: Daniel Sousa, comentarista da GloboNews, criador do podcast Petit Journal e professor de economia do Ibmec. O Escritório de Comércio dos Estados Unidos realizou entre segunda e terça-feira (6 e 7) as audiências públicas sobre o tarifaço proposto pelo governo americano aos produtos exportados Brasil. Participaram do debate empresas, representantes de setores produtivos brasileiros e até um pré-candidato à Presidência. Flávio Bolsonaro falou menos de 5 minutos e reforçou o argumento de que as tarifas beneficiariam eleitoralmente o atual governo. Depois, para jornalistas brasileiros, ele falou que deseja o “cancelamento” da medida e não seu adiamento, como sugeriu na carta enviada ao Escritório semana passada. Gigantes multinacionais como Coca-Cola, Nestlé, Tesla e eBay enviaram representações para solicitar que não haja sobretaxa aos produtos brasileiros. A decisão do governo americano deve sair até o dia 15 de julho. Neste episódio, Natuza Nery conversa com o economista Daniel Sousa sobre as consequências econômicas do tarifaço, caso Trump decida por seguir em frente com a punição ao Brasil. Daniel analisa os argumentos americanos e explica por que alguns segmentos da economia brasileira são importantes para a cadeia global de suprimentos e para a inflação dentro dos EUA.
How do you tell the difference between AI that's genuinely transforming HR and AI that's just a slide in a vendor deck? In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, David Green is joined by Parker Mitchell, Founder and CEO of Valence, the team behind the AI coaching platform Nadia, to discuss what it really takes for HR to prove value in an increasingly crowded AI market. Join them, as they discuss: How to separate genuine AI capability from marketing claims in an increasingly crowded marketWhy AI budgets are increasingly coming from the C-suite rather than HR, and what that means for how HR shows up in these conversationsWhat CHROs should be asking before choosing between an AI-native provider and a legacy platform with bolted-on AI featuresHow the best people analytics teams are proving ROI from AI coaching, beyond adoption metricsWhat it looks like to make performance management continuous rather than a once or twice-a-year processWhy frontline and operational workers need a different approach to AI coaching than knowledge workersValence's recent partnership with Microsoft and what it signals about where AI coaching is heading This episode is sponsored by Valence. Nadia, Valence's AI coaching platform, connects talent strategy to the work employees are actually doing — offering coaching from the frontline to the boardroom, and surfacing organisational insights that weren't visible before.

One in eight Americans is on a GLP-1, and the ripples are turning up in the strangest places. Victoria's Secret is selling fewer big bras. Secondhand sites are drowning in suddenly-too-large wardrobes. The checkout impulse aisle — a $6 billion monument to your eroded willpower — is dying. In part two of our GLP-1 deep dive, Alex and John follow the money through the collapsing snack economy: why cinemas and theatre bars are in trouble, how Nestlé is pivoting to three-bite meals, what happens to cruise ships when "all you can eat" stops being a selling point, the uncomfortable questions around kids and prisoners on the jab — and why the humble Gila monster is the unlikely lizard behind it all.Missed part one?

He had $15 in the bank and a $1M judgment against him. Eight years later, Nestlé bought his company for $1.5B — then shut it down.Also, this podcast is made by Hampton, which is a community for founders doing on average $20 million a year in revenue. We saw a lot of these money conversations happening privately behind closed doors and we thought, "What the heck, let's make it public." If you are a founder, apply here: http://joinhampton.com/mwMichael Wystrach built Freshly out of the wreckage of a failing restaurant, with $15 in the bank and a personally-guaranteed lease that left him with a $1M judgment against him. Six years later he sold the company to Nestlé for $1.5B — then watched it get shut down. He never took time off. He started a veterinary platform with his sister, raised a $75M venture fund, and put almost his entire payout back to work.This episode gets into what really happens to your bank account after a nine-figure exit — secondary sales, earn-out math, his actual living costs, his real estate philosophy at 2% interest rates, and what it felt like to lose the company he built after selling it. He also shares why he believes the first $10M matters more than the hundredth, and why he plans to keep building for the rest of his life.Sponsors: Daily Body Coach - achieve your dream body with https://moneywise.dailybodycoach.comSubscribe to Moneywise: https://www.youtube.com/@themoneywisepodcastFollow Daniel on X: https://x.com/danielcberkListen on Spotify / Apple Podcasts: [search "Moneywise Hampton"]

What would your organisation look like if it worked more like an octopus — distributed, adaptive, and capable of sensing and reacting without waiting for instructions from the centre? In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, David Green is joined by Phil Lebrun and Jana Werner, Executives in Residence at Amazon Web Services and authors of The Octopus Organization, to explore why so many transformations fail to stick — and what a more adaptive, human approach to change actually looks like. Join them as they discuss:What the octopus organisation metaphor is, and why it offers a different model to the traditional, hierarchical "Tin Man" organisation The three themes — clarity, ownership, and curiosity — that separate organisations that adapt well from those that don't Why transformation can no longer be treated as a one-time event HR's evolving role in driving and supporting transformation How to measure whether change is actually working, beyond vanity metrics Real examples of leaders and organisations putting these ideas into practice This episode is sponsored by Valence.

In this episode of BRAVE COMMERCE, Rachel Tipograph and Sarah Hofstetter sit down with Felicia Zhang, Head of Marketing at Bar Keeper's Friend, to discuss what it takes to modernize an iconic brand while maintaining the trust that made it successful in the first place. Drawing on experience across global brands including Nike, Oreo, and Nestlé, Felicia shares lessons from her transition to a smaller, more agile organization, where speed, experimentation, and continuous improvement are critical to success.The conversation explores why brands perform best when they're willing to launch, learn, and iterate rather than waiting for perfect conditions. Felicia also shares how her approach to leadership has evolved over time, including the importance of empowering teams to take action, embracing uncertainty, and finding optimism through periods of change.Key TakeawaysLaunching a strong V1 and improving through iteration often drives more progress than waiting for a perfect launch.The most effective teams combine strategic thinking with a willingness to roll up their sleeves and execute.Leadership becomes more effective when leaders focus less on controlling outcomes and more on empowering people and solving problems.

Then, in his early fifties, he had a wake-up call. It sent him to look under a rock he'd never lifted, where he found “an absolute cavern of issues.” The result is his sixth book, The Future is Grey: The Untapped Value of Age in the Workforce. Dan lays out the coming “bell to bulb” demographic inversion and the risks for organizations ignoring it. For individuals, he reframes the whole arc of a working life, from the language of generations (which he rejects as an ageist cognitive bias) to three universal career eras: Rivers, Rocks, and Rubies. That demographic inversion means experience will become more scarce and valuable. The through-line is don’t retire, rewire instead. He shares stories of people who kept working or returned to work in a different way, which brings his concept of the “experience dividend” to life. ________________________ Bio Dan Pontefract is a renowned leadership and culture strategist, author, and keynote speaker with over two decades of experience in senior executive roles at companies such as SAP, TELUS, and Business Objects. Since then, he has worked with organizations globally, including Salesforce, Amgen, State of Tennessee, Nestlé, Canada Post, Autodesk, BMO, Government of Canada, Manulife, Nutrien, UBC, McGill University, Virgin Media O2, City of Toronto, among others. Dan has firsthand experience in turning leaders and corporate cultures into a competitive advantage. In addition to The Future of Work Is Grey, Dan has written five other books: WORK-LIFE BLOOM, LEAD. CARE. WIN., OPEN TO THINK, THE PURPOSE EFFECT, and FLAT ARMY garnering multiple awards including the Thinkers50 Top New Management Book and the Axiom Business Book Awards Gold Medal. Dan has also written for Forbes, Harvard Business Review, Leader to Leader, The Globe and Mail, Inc., among other outlets. Dan is a renowned keynote speaker who has presented at four TED events and delivered over 600 keynotes. He is an adjunct professor at the University of Victoria and has received over 25 personal awards. Dan’s career is interwoven with corporate and academic experience, coupled with an MBA, B.Ed, and multiple distinctions. Notably, Dan is listed on the Thinkers50 Radar, HR Weekly’s 100 Most Influential People in HR, PeopleHum’s Top 200 Thought Leaders to Follow, and Inc. Magazine’s Top 100 Leadership Speakers. ___________________________ The Future is Grey: The Untapped Value of Age in the Workforce Website ___________________________ Other Retirement Podcast Conversations You’ll Love The Second Curve of Life – Arthur C.

What if we told you that the brand responsible for some of your favourite foods and drinks, has also been accused of being responsible for the deaths of over 10 million babies?

You think you're feeding your family safe food. Bill Marler has spent three decades proving otherwise. As America's most prominent food safety attorney, Marler has represented thousands of victims in nearly every major U.S. food borne illness outbreak from the Jack in the Box E. coli disaster that put a 9-year-old girl in a coma, to the Nestlé cookie dough that hospitalized a Nevada mother of six for over two years, to the infant formula that gave 51 babies botulism in 2026. He's taken on big companies and won over $800 million for families who thought they were just sitting down to a normal meal. Dr. Phil sits down with Marler for a conversation that will change the way you look at every plate in front of you. Why is it still perfectly legal to knowingly sell salmonella-contaminated chicken? Why did it take grocery stores six weeks to pull botulism-tainted baby formula off shelves after the FDA told them to? And when politicians say America has "the safest food supply in the world" what does the man who's seen the bodies have to say about that? Marler also reveals the foods he personally refuses to eat, the red flags to look for the second you walk into a restaurant, and the simple rules that could protect your family.This episode is brought to you by: The You Can Do It Foundation supports meaningful media that reflects faith, family, personal responsibility, and freedom.
