Podcast appearances and mentions of robbie cape

To open our second season, we sit with Robbie Cape, a serial entrepreneur committed to building successful businesses dedicated to repairing the world meaningfully. He co-founded and is CEO of Mt. Joy, a restaurant that focuses on bringing irresistible fried chicken sandwiches from farm-to-table using regenerative practices. When Robbie's not thinking about how to help more farmers farm regeneratively, he's working on building a more sustainable, transparent supply chain for good food. Today, we talk to Robbie about his journey from tech to the food industry and how he's making Mt. Joy's business model of an inclusive food-farmer-processing-distribution and-consumer ecosystem, one that can take how we eat, how we farm, and how we care for our planet into the next generation.   How can food be the key to unlocking the next high-impact business model? How do you make good food that is healing for the planet, its people, and its animals? How hard is it really to do good and do good business? What does it take to create an ecosystem that shows how fried chicken can be used to change the status quo?

Robbie Cape is the co-founder and CEO of Mt. Joy, a mission-driven restaurant aiming to demonstrate that profitability and positive impact can coexist. Having previously served as CEO and co-founder of both 98point6 and Cozy, Robbie has dedicated his career to building mission-driven businesses that transcend traditional boundaries. He envisions a world where restaurants not only serve exceptional food but also prioritize the well-being of the planet, animals, and every participant in the supply chain.  You'll hear Lindsay and Robbie discuss: Mt. Joy is a mission-first restaurant committed to proving that a profitable business can simultaneously contribute positively to the planet. Robbie's journey into regenerative agriculture was sparked by the documentary Kiss the Ground and Michael Pollan's book, The Omnivore's Dilemma.  Regenerative principles can be applied beyond agriculture. From employee well-being to customer experiences, Mt. Joy aims to create a regenerative impact at every stage of the supply chain. Robbie discusses the inherent challenges in venturing into industries like healthcare and restaurants, where the potential for impact is vast but the obstacles are significant.. The concept of regenerative isn't limited to the environment; it extends to employees, by creating jobs that energize and positively impact workers.  The positive treatment of animals at Mt. Joy has been lauded even by vegetarian and vegan customers, showcasing the broader appeal of regenerative practices. Regenerative meat tends to be more expensive than industrially produced meat. This necessitates setting higher prices for the products. Social and environmental change needs to be commercially viable to have exponential impact; this is illustrated by the impact of Tesla in the electric vehicle market. Mt. Joy adopts transparency as a guiding principle. This extends to employees, which fosters trust and provides them access to information, promoting a culture of openness and honesty. Transparency guides decision-making within the company, allowing for more informed and ethical choices. The journey toward regenerative practices is gradual: you need to crawl before you walk and walk before you run, to achieve sustainable growth. Resources Robbie Cape on LinkedIn | X(Twitter) Mt.

Robbie was born & raised in Montreal, Canada and had an early fascination with the idea of being an open-heart surgeon. His interests would then shift to computer programming after receiving a gift from "Uncle Ronnie." Robbie's father ran a family business, and throughout Robbie's childhood, he would listen to his father openly discuss business ordeals and ideas at the dinner table. Robbie would go on to attend Princeton University and get a degree in engineering & management systems before beginning his career at Microsoft. He would work for Microsoft for 12 years and in the podcast, he discusses his biggest career failure that resulted in humiliation followed by a strong bounce-back. After a 12-year-run with Microsoft, Robbie decided to make the leap and start his own business, something he always dreamed of doing. The sense of urgency was sprouted from the sickness and death of an old friend that he discusses in the podcast as well; A truly emotionally intense time for him. After starting Cozi Group, Inc. and selling it, he went on to start 98point6; a technology company that facilitates on-demand primary care through an application on a mobile phone. It's sort of like the "Uber" of doctors, so if you need a doctor, you just open the app! Today, 98point6 has raised almost $90M and is revolutionizing the way primary care is handled.

Many innovators lead with their technology in their creation process, and in the process they leave behind the other important building blocks of a strong business. How do we avoid building a business with a singular muscle? How can we deal with the biggest barrier to successful commercialization? How can we get physicians involved in the ideation process, and what difference can that make?  On this episode, we’re joined by the CEO and Chief Medical Officer of 98point6, Robbie Cape and Brad Younggren, who share their journey to commercialization and lessons learned.   3 Things We Learned  The biggest mistake innovators make  Many innovators lead with a technology and end up with that as the singular muscle behind the business. One of the things 98point6 got right is that they developed 4 core muscles in the business: the medical, technology, regulatory & compliance, and commercial muscle.   How to build relationships with physicians  When it comes to building strong relationships with physicians, we must look at doctors as a separate audience segment, understanding the problems they have and delivering a strong value prop to them as we would with any customer.  How to get into healthcare and win the favor of stakeholders  There’s a huge difference between coming into the healthcare industry as a competitor, and coming into the industry with the intention to find the right stakeholders and people and support their vision and goal. It’s more powerful to sit alongside the primary care community so that you’re not treated as a competitor.  Innovators often focus mostly on raising money and building the technology. They think the vision, mission, values, culture and employee engagement are things that can be built-in down the road. The problem is, they miss the benefits of building these things into the system early on. In order to successfully commercialize, it helps to be deeply integrated with the people who will eventually become your customers and pay for your service. You do that by thinking beyond the technology and considering the greater ecosystem and stakeholders who are critical to your business. 

If you asked anyone who grew up with Robbie Cape in Montreal, they would all say they knew he was going to run his own business someday. He was constantly learning as a child from the family business and from his parents, who believed he should grow up understanding the value of a single dollar. In 2014, Robbie sold his first company, Cozi, and now is building his second company, 98point6, which is revolutionizing primary care and making healthcare more affordable and accessible to everyone. Robbie shares how he always starts with the ‘who’ before the ‘what’ when building businesses, why Time Inc was the perfect company to purchase Cozi, and important insight on the primary care crisis we’re facing. He also discusses his thoughts on Microsoft and Amazon, how he and his wife decide which organizations they are going to support, and the three key factors that have translated to good parenting for them.

It has been more than a year since the healthcare joint venture between Amazon, JPMorgan Chase and Berkshire Hathaway was announced. Since then, we haven't heard much — until now. Last week, the venture finally got a name, Haven, and on its new website, the joint venture shared where it will focus within this $8 trillion global industry. And earlier this month, 300 pages of unsealed court documents offered additional clues about Haven’s plans. On this episode of GeekWire's Health Tech podcast, we catch up with health tech entrepreneurs, 98point6 CEO Robbie Cape and Wellpepper CEO Anne Weiler, to get their take on the joint venture's ambitions.
