Podcasts about Ronni Kahn

Ronni Kahn's energy and passion brings a much needed voice to one of the most significant issues Australia faces: food insecurity, including the mental and physical tolls such insecurity places on women. Through OzHarvest, Kahn's built a team of staff and volunteers who rescue food and repurpose it for those who need it most. But in 2025, during a cost-of-living crisis and housing crisis, OzHarvest is highlighting the more than 50,000 people who get turned away from food services every month and the very real and simple solutions available for us to do something about it. We discuss the new research from OzHarvest out today, as well as how Ronni Kahn remains so dedicated to her purpose so many years after founding OzHarvest, and the serious work still ahead. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Conversation with Ronni Kahn, founder of OzHarvest, Australia's leading food rescue organization. Established in 2004 OzHarvest gathers surplus food and delivers it to charities supporting people in need. Ronni's impact extends globally, inspiring others to combat food waste and hunger sustainably.

The Spirituality Of Birth With Jessica Chapnik Kahn An honest exploration of two births, femininity, shame, rage and deep love. The becoming and disappearing of a mother. Welcome to Episode 3 of Season 6, our Rise of the Feminine season. In this collection of podcasts we are talking about how the feminine rises within us during pregnancy, birth and beyond. I'm so grateful that you are listening to these conversations on living in a way that fully honours our feminine journey and strength. Today's conversation is with one of my best friends Jessica Chapnik Kahn. She is co-author of A Repurposed Life with Ronni Kahn from OzHarvest. Author of the children's book Lenny and the Ants and the poetry collection MADRE, which was inspired by the birth of her son, Lev. Jessica lives in Sydney and is married to musician Nadav Kahn. She has worked in theatre and TV, played in the bands of some of Australia's finest artists, and released two solo albums. Jessy is an extraordinary human being, and you'll hear how much I love her. I wish that every person had such a curious and open minded friend in their lives. In this episode we chat about: Her two beautiful births. I was Doula at both her 5 year old and her 2 year olds birth. The postpartum world and this sense of disappearing as a mother. Birth, as a dream, and a rite of passage. Posterior labour, epidural and her little girl Shemi needing surgery after birth. We also talk about surrender, the hero's journey, the shame and maternal rage that we often feel as mothers. Plus, the rising of the feminine alongside the rising of the masculine. That has to happen at the same time. I hope you enjoy.

This podcast had me in inspirational heaven from the first bite! I was honoured to have social enterprise Rockstar Ronni Kahn join me on this episode, sharing her journey from growing up in South Africa to living in a kibbutz in Israel to emigrating to Australia in 1998   Ronni and I chew the food wastage on how she made the switch from owning and operating a successful management organisation to founding OzHarvest, a social enterprise that delivers some 25 million meals per year from food that would otherwise be dumped.   We share the ride, beginning with Ronni hand delivering excess food from functions to homeless shelters, to then lobbying to change civil liability and health legislation that previously prevented food donors from supplying excess food to NFP organisations.   If you want a fantastic example of grit, determination, inspiration and ability to change the world then is it! We chat how OzHarvest was a side hustle for 7 years and now is growing into a global enterprise with South Africa Harvest, NZHarvest, UKHarvest and JapanHarvest with more countries on the horizon helping to bridge the social inequality gap!   Join our Facebook group here: (www.facebook.com/groups/461822665123720) chat to Ronni (www.facebook.com/ronni.kahn.9) or other likeminded community members who are Switching their Sitch, starting a small business or growing an Empire.

Ronni Kahn does not like to hear about people throwing away their lettuce. If you compost lettuce, it takes about two weeks to decompose. If you throw it in the book, you can bump that number up to twenty-five. Sorry, twenty-five years, that is.  As the founder of food rescue charity OzHarvest, Ronni's an expert on preventing food waste on a massive scale. But what about on the small scale?  Yep, she can help with that too.  Ronni teaches you how to salvage soggy lettuce with a hearty soup, cooking techniques to recover that wrinkly tomato, and reminds you that your kitchen has a pause button, in the form of your freezer.

In this episode we are joined by legend Ronni Kahn and together we dive into her memoir; A Repurposed Life. We follow Ronni's journey growing up in South Africa, life in Israel through to present day and see first hand how life's twists and turns shape the woman she is today. Her mission to fight food waste and feed hungry people is supported by some of the world's finest chefs. Ronni is an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) and was named Australian Local Hero of the Year. Her journey is also the subject of a feature film, Food Fighter.

In Part B we go back to where it all started. We discuss the “Roman Banquet” and the late night visit to a Sydney homeless shelter. Ronni explains how her good friend Selma’s introduction of electricity to Soweto led her to work out how she could have the most positive impact on other people’s lives. From that point on Ronni leads a repurposed life… just don’t ask her for a powerpoint presentation! Ronni also tells us how OzHarvest is evolving from food rescue to sustainability and education in an attempt to shift behaviour. Ronni’s perspectives on leadership are fascinating and she also talks to us about the next chapter, Purpose for Leadership – find out more by emailing ronni@ronnikahn.com.

Welcome to this week's Future Proof Me mini episode. For many of us the past few months have shrunk our world to the confines of our homes and our local suburb. What we've noticed can sometimes come with that, is a tendency to lose sight of the bigger picture and of others who may be doing it tougher than we are.It's why we thought it was really timely for this beautiful reminder from social entrepreneur Ronni Kahn of the value we personally derive from helping others, even now when uncertainty and disruption is still so prevalent in our own lives. We were really moved by her first hand testimony of how her experience has been that you get so much more than you give, and that time is so precious we all need to think about what we're doing now, not putting things off for “one day” in future. This point was brought vividly home to us as we just heard the news that one of our recent guests, artist and muralist Taylor White has been injured in a serious road accident in Iceland. Fortunately she's confident of making a full, if slow, recovery so we're sending her love and heartfelt “Get well soon Taylor” wishes. Seize the day dear friends.

Ronni is the founder and CEO of OzHarvest, Australia’s leading food rescue organisation. But what do you do when functions aren’t happening and restaurants can’t open, putting your business model at risk? You do what Ronni has always done – reimagine the way of working, motivate the team around you, inject endless energy and determination and turn the model on its head. During COVID OzHarvest has transformed itself into a business-to-consumer model, buying food for the first time, and supporting a broad base of disadvantaged people by delivering 52 million meals in the last 18 months. Incredible. The podcast is hosted by Co-Founder and CEO of Ethical Partners Funds Management, Matt Nacard. Part B out soon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

18 years ago, Ronni Kahn's life looked very different. She was the owner of a successful events company and was in a relationship with a man who she thought was her second shot at love. But one conversation changed the direction of her life forever. Unable to turn a blind eye to the vast amounts of food she was throwing away at the end of each work day, Ronni began delivering the untouched food to homeless shelters around Sydney. It was the beginning of a journey that unlocked another side of Ronni, and founded OzHarvest. Today, Ronni leads hundreds of staff and thousands of volunteers with the goal to nourish Australia. She talks to Mia about how she got there.

It was the beginning of a journey that unlocked another side of Ronni, and founded OzHarvest. Today, Ronni leads hundreds of staff and thousands of volunteers with the goal to nourish Australia. She talks to Mia about how she got there.

The world has traditionally relied heavily on the 'business as usual model' of industrial food production and supermarket-oriented consumption. However, this system is not sustainable if we’re to secure a healthy future for people and the planet. Hear from Hilal Elver, UN Special Rapporteur on Right to Food; OzHarvest founder Ronni Kahn and Mario Herrero from CSIRO, as they share insights into how we might address food security.

According to the UN Environment Program, if food waste were a country it would be counted as the third biggest greenhouse gas emitter, behind China and the US. In Australia, over 5 million tonnes of food ends up in landfill. That's enough to fill 9,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools. So if Australians want to start making a difference, we can look in our own fridges and cupboards to make a real difference. Ronni Kahn, CEO and founder of Oz Harvest explains why food waste is such an issue in Australia (and the world) and Jessica Chapnik Kahn, the author of a new picture book, Lenny and the Ants, tells us why children can really help to make a difference.

This month’s podcast is all about generosity—something our friend Ronni Kahn knows a lot about. Ronni founded OzHarvest—Australia’s leading food rescue organisation—driven by a passion to make a difference and stop good food going to waste. Along the way, she’s changed lives, changed the law (to make it safe for companies to donate surplus food) and opened Australia's first free supermarket. Chatting with Dr. Monty Badami for a live event run by our friends at the School of Life, Ronni tells us about her personal journey and offers advice on how we can open our hearts and be more generous in our daily lives. We’d like to say she’s inspiring, but it’s just not a good enough word. Show notes: You can read more about Ronni in our conversation with her from Issue 53 of Dumbo Feather—The Future of Power issue. You can also find out more information about OzHarvest on their site: https://www.ozharvest.org This conversation was produced by our digital editor Lizzie Marton, and the music you hear is by Dennis Liu. For more conversations with extraordinary people, why not head to our site, it’s dumbofeather.com.

CEO & founder of OzHarvest and social entrepreneur Ronni Kahn talks about how an experience in the South African shanty township of Soweto inspired her to bring massive change to people's attitudes to food and food wastage in Australia. Ronni chats about setting up a for-purpose organisation (a term Ronni prefers over not-for-profit), OzHarvest's initiatives to reduce poverty, as well as her vision for the future of food in Australia.

If there's something that makes Ronni Kahn's blood boil, it's seeing good food thrown on the scrap heap. Ronni is the foodie Robin Hood — she rescues tasty treats bound for the bin and gives them to the hungry. The "queen of leftovers" has had to move mountains to get politicians and business owners to agree to stop wasting perfectly edible food. And it's been worth the effort — Ronni has saved 80 million meals!

How do you set up and grow Australia’s leading food rescue charity? According to Ronni Kahn, inspirational founder of OzHarvest, the answer involves love, belief, clarity of purpose and being clear that you are running a business.

Could you think of a single word that you most identify with? The 200 Women project asked amazing women from around the world to do just that. Can you guess what they said? We’ll give you a hint – love, trust, hope and courage. Listen in to hear why. In this episode, you’ll hear from: Ronni Kahn, the founder of food rescue organisation OzHarvest. Vidya Balan, a Bollywood actor and human rights activist. Eva McGauley, an anti-sexual violence activist. She has been diagnosed with terminal nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Jessica Gallagher, a vision-impaired Paralypian who was the first Australian to win medals at both the Summer and Winter Paralympic Games. Anita Heiss, an author, and advocate for Aboriginal visibility in literature. Nicole Tung, an award-winning photojournalist whose friend and colleague, James Foley, was executed by Islamic State. Susan Carland, a writer, sociologist and academic. She converted from Christianity to Islam at the age of 19. Sharon Brous, a leading US-based rabbi. Collette Dinnigan, Australian-based fashion and interior designer. Rosie Batty, an advocate and campaigner against family violence following the murder of her son, Luke, by his father. Dolores Huerta, a labour activist and community organiser. She was awarded the American Presidential Medal of Freedom. Andrea Mason, indigenous rights activist. Sahm Venter, a journalist and author. She currently holds the role of senior researcher at the Nelson Mandela Foundation.

This week on The CMO Show, hosts Mark and JV are joined by dynamic duo Ronni Kahn, CEO and founder of OzHarvest, and Vince Frost, CEO and founder of the Frost* Collective. Recounting the rise of OzHarvest as Australia's first food rescue organisation, Kahn delves into the details of her social entrepreneurialism, demonstrating the power of meaningful storytelling and the importance of design in brand reinvention – the latter leading to the business "marriage" of Kahn and Frost that's lasted four years and is still going strong. "The turning point for OzHarvest was having Vince help us with our brand, look, collateral, and design because it took us stratospherically from where we were to where we are today," Kahn said. With 25 years experience and a wealth of expertise in design thinking, Frost understands the power behind his art form.
