IntroductionLIVE from a bottomless pit of CEO pay, it's a Business Pants Friday Show here at March 21st Studios, featuring AnalystHole Matt Moscardi. On today's weekly wrap up: Nelson Peltz hates woke ice cream, Self-hating Cybertrucks, and anti-ESG manbabies Our show today is being sponsored by Free Float Analytics, the only platform measuring board power, connections, and performance for FREE.Story of the Week (DR):‘Incompetent:' Jamie Dimon unloads on proxy advisor ISSJamie Dimon said Glass Lewis and Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) should be “gone and dead and done with”, as he also launched an attack on those who pay for their services.In an interview with Semafor at Blackrock's retirement summit, Mr Dimon said: “Anyone who gives them money – shame on you.”Unilever hit ‘new levels of oppressiveness,' Ben & Jerry's claims as its CEO was sacked over social activismIce cream maker Ben & Jerry's has accused its parent company of firing its CEO David Stever over his support of the brand's progressive politics.On Tuesday, the Vermont-based brand filed an amended complaint in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging that Unilever “has repeatedly threatened Ben & Jerry's personnel, including CEO David Stever, should they fail to comply with Unilever's efforts to silence the Social Mission.”Ben & Jerry's said Unilever informed its board on March 3 that it was removing and replacing Ben & Jerry's CEO David Stever. Ben & Jerry's said that violated its merger agreement with Unilever, which states that any decisions regarding a CEO's removal must come after a consultation with an advisory committee from Ben & Jerry's board.“empowered to protect and defend Ben & Jerry's brand equity and integrity”White man David Stever, 4 women of color (one who is the chair), and two black men. In Vermont? Are they trolling us?!?! I guess it can be done. Unilever board member Nelson Peltz is still trying to find a white actor for Black PantherUnilever has not publicly disclosed a reason for Stever's firingThe ice cream company has a unique corporate structure that was meant to protect its activist mission, even after its 2000 sale to Unilever:Independent Board of Directors: Unlike most Unilever-owned brands, Ben & Jerry's has an independent board specifically tasked with preserving the company's social mission.Merger Agreement Protections: The 2000 acquisition agreement required consultation with the board for key leadership decisions, including hiring or firing the CEO.Social Mission Oversight: The board exists to prevent the dilution of the company's activist identity—something that appears to be under increasing pressure.Ben & Jerry's Founders Say They Stand Behind Ousted CEOBoeing Sued for Wrongful Death by Family of WhistleblowerBoeing pushed John Barnett, who was a quality manager at Boeing for nearly three decades, to his death by harassing and intimidating him after he raised safety concerns about the company's plant building the 787 Dreamliner in Charleston, South Carolina, a wrongful death lawsuit filed in federal court in the state alleges. His family claim in their suit that Boeing responded by carrying out a “campaign of harassment, abuse and intimidation intended to discourage, discredit and humiliate him until he would either give up or be discredited”.In the evening of March 8th last year, Barnett left the law offices of Boeing's outside counsel in Charleston after testifying for two days in the OSHA case. Barnett was giving his account of how Boeing violated its own policies and procedures, and FAA rules, during his seven years as a quality inspector at the North Charleston plant that assembles the 787 Dreamliner. He'd delayed a trip back to his home in Louisiana to finish his deposition the next day, a Saturday. Videos cited in the police report show Barnett leaving the hotel around 8:30 PM, and getting in his Clemson orange, Dodge truck. When Barnett failed to show by the 10 AM starting time for his final round of testimony, Turkewitz called the Holiday Inn to conduct a “welfare check.”Note: “America come together or die!!! Pray that the motherfk…ers who destroyed my life pay!!! I pray that Boeing pays!!! Bury me face down so that Boeing and their lying ass leaders can kiss my ass. I can't do this any longer!!! F-k Boeing!!!'Business has been neglected': Longtime Tesla investor demands Elon Musk resign as CEO MMElon Musk Says He Has No Idea What He Did to Make Everybody So Mad at Him"It's really come as quite a shock to me that there is this level of, really, hatred and violence from the left.""My companies make great products that people love and I've never physically hurt anyone.”“So why the hate and violence against me?”"I always thought that the left, you know, Democrats, were supposed to be the party of empathy, the party of caring, and yet they're burning down cars, they're firebombing dealerships, they're firing bullets into dealerships, they're smashing up Teslas," Musk said. "Tesla is a peaceful company. We've never done anything harmful.""I've never done anything harmful."“Because I am a deadly threat to the woke mind parasite and the humans it controls."Tesla just recalled basically all the Cybertrucks ever sold in AmericaTesla workers in Germany say they don't have time to use the bathroomTesla workers at a German factory say working conditions don't allow them enough time for drinking or bathroom breaks.Over 3,000 workers at a Tesla gigafactory near Berlin have signed a petition asking for more breaks and an end to intimidation from management, according to a statement from German metalworker's union IG Metall.A Huge Amount of Money Is Missing From TeslaEven the company's financials are now sprouting some glaring questions. As the Financial Times reports, a whopping $1.4 billion appears to have vanished in thin air. The enormous hole arises when examining the carmaker's capital expenditures and how those compare to the reported rise of the value of its assets.According to Tesla's cashflow statements, the firm spent $6.3 billion on "purchases of property and equipment excluding finance leases, net of sales" in the second half of 2024. However, its balance sheet claims the gross value of property, plant, and equipment rose by only $4.9 billion — leaving an eyebrow-raising $1.4 billion discrepancy.Musk Set to Receive Top-Secret Briefing on U.S. War Plans for ChinaMusk Tells Tesla Workers: Don't Sell Your SharesTesla board members, executive sell off over $100 million of stock in recent weeksTogether, four top officers at the company have offloaded over $100 million in shares since early February.Last week, longtime Musk ally James Murdoch became the latest to do so, exercising a stock option and selling shares worth approximately $13 million, according to an SEC filing.Elon Musk's brother, Kimbal Musk, who also sits on the board, unloaded 75,000 shares worth approximately $27 million last month, according to a filing.The chairman of the board, Robyn Denholm, has offloaded more than $75 million dollars worth of shares in two transactions in the past five weeks, federal filings show.Goodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: Chobani CEO: Why we're now giving all workers at least 12 weeks of parental leaveDR: JD Vance rips globalization, calling cheap labor a 'drug'MM: Tesla Cybertruck deliveries are on hold as trims are flying off the 'bulletproof' truck DRThey recalled ALL of them - imagine if Mary Barra put out a car at GM that, 1 year after releasing, they had to recall ALL of them?

They were not mentioned in 2023. Congrats on paying attention to whatever's in front of your face.Shareholders rejected your proposal because it was asinine and no one caresYour group, NCPPR, gets an AVERAGE of 1% everywhere… but did you notice that NLPC, your sister group in anti white person crime, got a solid 11% in favor at Apple for it's very real proposal on the dangers of AI?

"The striking phrase, 'God is dead,' is the poetical expression of modern unbelief", writes Eugene (Fr. Seraphim) Rose in his short but piercing analysis of the modern world and its apostasy. Christianity in the West fell long ago and its departure from the True Church, Holy Orthodoxy, is more and more evident. See the links below for more from Fr. Seraphim on this issue.

A possible deal between German financial services company Allianz and Singapore's Income Insurance has dominated headlines over the past few weeks.  Allianz's proposed S$2.2 billion offer for Income, which is subject to approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore, has triggered concerns over whether it would erode Income's social mission of providing affordable insurance for Singapore's lower-wage workers. Addressing these concerns in Parliament on Aug 6, Second Minister for Finance and MAS board member Chee Hong Tat has said that MAS will hold Income and Allianz to account in ensuring that there will be no change to the terms and conditions of existing insurance contracts, should the regulator approve the offer. The MAS will also assess if Allianz has the financial capacity to support Income when needed, and the willingness and ability to ensure that insurance operations are well run.

Hakki Akendiz, an immigrant who became a successful entrepreneur and lauded philanthropist, is living the American Dream. He also for years experienced the plight of living without housing. His business, Champion Pizza, gives a voice to both. Akendiz arrived in the U.S. from Turkey over 20 years ago. He had no illusions about a gilded path, but didn't anticipate the challenges that befell him. Akendiz slept on park benches and lived in shelters and restaurant basements, worked menial jobs and was even robbed of his life's savings. And, yet he persevered, opening his first pizzeria in 2009 and gradually added nine more, each built with reinvested earnings.   Amid a worsening homelessness epidemic, Akendiz has prioritized giving back as a pillar of Champion Pizza's business model. Every week over the past eight years, Akendiz and his team have set up on West 34th Street in Manhattan where they share pizza and other food, clothing and medication to homeless people. In total, Champion Pizza has donated millions of dollars worth of pizza, but Akendiz intends to give more. In this episode, Akendiz spoke about his remarkable journey, why he credits hard work to his success and downplays the impact of luck, why supporting a social mission starts with building a sustainable and profitable business and how business owners can most effectively support the homeless community. Show notes: 0:43: Interview: Hakki Akdeniz, Owner, Champion Pizza – Akdeniz spoke with Taste Radio editor Ray Latif about a disastrous start to life in the U.S., learning the craft of pizza making while living in a boiler room and why he forgives a former partner who stole thousands of dollars intended to open a restaurant. He also explained why his first pizzeria almost left him bankrupt, how winning a pizza competition changed the trajectory of his career and why he never wavered when opening his second location, despite assault and the threat of violence from rival owners. Later, he discussed why having a goal means having a plan and the simple strategy for helping those in need.  Brands in this episode: Champion Pizza

We need businesses and brands to have a tangible, positive impact on the world. Employees, customers and consumers expect it; they want to see the companies they work for and shop from take a stand on the issues they care about. But when those issues are complex and at times polarising, how does a business take action credibly and consistently, whether playing the role of advocates or activists?To mark World Refugee Day, Becky Willan talks to Jessie Macneil-Brown, Head of Social Mission Europe at Ben & Jerry's. It's not only an iconic global ice cream brand, it's vocal on the the rights of refugees and asylum seekers - one of the biggest issues of our time. It's a political battleground and fraught with tension in the media. But for Ben & Jerry's, they've not been afraid to stand firm. Jessie tells us exactly how the brand has advocated for safe routes, and helped entrepreneurial refugees resettle and thrive in their new homes. In this episode you'll learn how to maintain your stance in the face of criticism, create safe spaces for open dialogue, and educate your staff on the right language to use. -Do you want to learn how to build a purpose-driven business from Given, the consultancy that's helped some of the world's largest organisations become purposeful?

On June 2nd, Dial P released an episode explaining how Unilever CEO Alan Jope may have been 'losing the plot' by putting his company's social mission before fundamental business practices. Unilever had asked each of its 400 brands to tie a social or environmental mission into their branding and marketing efforts, a mandate that delivered mixed results in a difficult year.In 2022, the company failed to acquire GSK's healthcare division after three attempts, saw its stock value fall 25 percent from where it was in 2019, and raised prices by 12.5 percent as consumers switched to less expensive store brands. When activist investor Nelson Peltz took a seat on the Unilever board in July, the writing was on the wall. Social agenda notwithstanding, Unilever was underperforming.In this Dial P Updated Classic, Kelly Barner brings the Unilever story up to date and considers what may be next for the consumer brands giant.Additional Links & Resources:Learn more about Dial P for Procurement: https://supplychainnow.com/programs/dial-p-for-procurementSubscribe to Dial P for Procurement: https://dial-p-for-procurement.captivate.fm/listenThis episode was hosted by Kelly Barner.

Many business owners come to a point where they have achieved all their goals or get lost in the humdrum of day-to-day work. At this point, they often want to give up. However, if they refocus on Compassionate Prosperity, they can find new purpose and direction for themselves and their business. Eighty per cent of employees with a current disengaged social mission find a new interest, passion, and excitement about what they do, increasing productivity, innovation, and profit. Finally, consumers want to support businesses that reflect their values and care about them and the world. Therefore, when a business incorporates a social mission, everyone wins.

Bombas was started in 2013 with a dual mission: to deliver quality socks and donate much-needed footwear to people living in shelters. By 2021, it had become one of America's most visible buy-one-give-one companies, with over $250 million in annual revenue and 50 million pairs of socks donated. As Bombas continued expanding, the company struggled to determine what pace of growth would best allow it to reach new customers while maintaining its social mission.

ESG – or environmental, social, and governance – programs are high visibility opportunities for companies to grab headlines, earn goodwill and brand loyalty from consumers, and hopefully make the world a better place. But if not pursued strategically, they can also be a company's downfall. In this week's Dial P audio podcast, Kelly Barner shares the lessons learned from companies who have chosen to put social mission before business fundamentals: • Consumer brands that are required to have a social or environmental mission or risk divestment from the company • Why inclusive sizing sounds nice but comes with costs that can't easily be passed along to consumers • Social missions that were wildly successful in their ability to improve brand reputation without distracting the team from their operational marks Additional Links & Resources: Learn more about Dial P for Procurement: https://supplychainnow.com/programs/dial-p-for-procurement (https://supplychainnow.com/programs/dial-p-for-procurement) Subscribe to Dial P for Procurement: https://dial-p-for-procurement.captivate.fm/listen (https://dial-p-for-procurement.captivate.fm/listen) This episode was hosted by Kelly Barner.

A new coffee shop in Long Beach brings together community, coffee, and job skills under one roof. The business aims to help house insecure families. It is challenging enough finding an affordable apartment to rent in LA. It's even harder to find one that is both affordable and has a refrigerator. But why? The sale of Angel Stadium of Anaheim has been paused due to a federal investigation into Anaheim Mayor Harry Sidhu for public corruption.

     What is the definition of a working artist?      Nancy is a poet, educator, and community organizer. She has co-founded a handful of arts organizations, including the Long Beach Literary Arts Center and briefly ran a social justice-based literary press. As an organizer, she has produced innumerable arts events, including writing workshops, public readings and arts festivals. She is also the creator of Surprise the Line, a community poetry workshop.Writing from an eco-feminist perspective, her poetry is largely inspired by the magic and power of the natural world. Nancy has received fellowships from PEN America, Arts Council for Long Beach, and Idyllwild Writers Week.       Angels Gate Cultural Center in San Pedro serves as one of the cultural hubs as part of the Artists At Work initiative, as it hosts both Nancy and artist Taylor Griffith for year-long artist residencies.     The ARTISTS AT WORK program is inspired by the Depression-era Works Progress Administration, or WPAIt was designed to give artists resources to continue to produce work during the COVID crisis, but also, to build new structures and partnerships to help sustain the creative sector in a post-pandemic America. The goals of Artists At Work are to give artists a living wage to support their work and to put that work into the public sphere for free, to connect artists and cultural organizations to local initiatives in areas like youth mental health, suicide prevention, food justice, prison reform, youth at risk and other civic engagements to foster healthy communities.      Links:www.nancylyneewoo.comArtists At WorkThe Office Performing Arts and Film www.sbcc.community

Eugene wrote this letter to Thomas Merton in 1962, the same year he was received into the Orthodox Church after an arduous and painful journey in search of the truth, which he ultimately realized is a person: the Lord Jesus Christ, whose Body is the Holy Orthodox Church. He had been previously inspired by Thomas Merton and his pursuit of the other world, and with pain of heart wrote a letter expressing his concerns, concerns which were later justified by Merton's ultimate abandonment of not only prayerful, ascetic Christianity, but of the uniqueness of Christian truth altogether. The ideas set forth in this letter were written at the same time Eugene was writing his desired magnum opus, The Kingdom of Man and the Kingdom of God, specifically the chapter titled “New Christianity.” Neither this chapter nor the entire book were finished, but in addition to this letter to Merton, what was completed was the chapter on Nihilism, available from St. Herman Press under the title: “Nihilism: the root of the Revolution of the modern age”. Presented here is a reading of Eugene's letter in its entirety, beginning and ending with valuable context from the biography of Fr. Seraphim: “Father Seraphim Rose: His Life and Works” by Hieromonk Damascene, finishing with a quote by Fr. Seraphim from his book “Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future” Introduction: 00:00 Letter to Thomas Merton: 04:52 Conclusion: 44:36 Excerpt from “Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future”: 48:37 Excerpts from Eugene's letter: “The outward Gospel of social idealism is a symptom of this loss of faith.” “The Kingdom is not of this world; to think or hope that Christianity can be outwardly "successful" in the world is a denial of all that Christ and His prophets have said of the future of the Church. Christianity can be "successful" on one condition: that of renouncing (or conveniently forgetting) the true Kingdom and seeking to build up a Kingdom in the world. The "Earthly Kingdom" is precisely the goal of the modern mentality; the building of it is the meaning of the modern age. It is not Christian; as Christians, we know whose Kingdom it is. And what so greatly troubles me is that today Christians—Catholic and Orthodox alike—are themselves joining, often quite unaware of the fact, often with the best possible intentions, in the building of this new Babel....” “When I feed my hungry brother, this is a Christian act and a preaching of the Kingdom that needs no words; it is done for the personal reason that my brother—he who stands before me at this moment—is hungry, and it is a Christian act because my brother is, in some sense, Christ. But if I generalize from this case and embark on a political crusade to abolish the "evil of hunger," that is something entirely different; though individuals who participate in such a crusade may act in a perfectly Christian way, the whole project—and precisely because it is a "project," a thing of human planning—has become wrapped in a kind of cloak of “idealism.”" Orthodox Wisdom is now on your favorite podcast platform!

Isabel Chen and Jamar Slocum join us to discuss the history of American medical education and how its evolution has maintained injustice. They speak about prestige, research dollars, medical school rankings, race, admissions, wealth and power, health disparities, and the long shadow of the 1910 Flexner Report that laid the foundation of the current system. They also share how justice-informed movements like the Beyond Flexner Alliance are attempting to rattle the paradigm and recenter care, love, and justice as the ‘social mission' of medicine. Beyond Flexner Alliance (BFA) is a national movement, focused on health equity and training health professionals as agents of more equitable health care. This movement takes us beyond centuries-old conventions in health professions education to train providers prepared to build a system that is not only better, but fairer. The Beyond Flexner Alliance aims to promote social mission in health professions education by networking learners, teachers, community leaders, health policy makers and their organizations to advance equity in education, research, service, policy, and practice.

Lindsay Dahl is Beautycounter's SVP of Social Mission where she leads the safety, sustainability, advocacy and giving teams. A nationally recognized leader, Lindsay has been working for over 15 years to remove toxic chemicals from the products we use every day. Working at the intersection of activism, product safety, and sustainability, Lindsay takes a comprehensive approach to integrate social impact into everything at Beautycounter.   Founded in 2013, Beautycounter's purpose is to get safer products in the hands of everyone. Beautycounter has been a pioneer of the clean beauty movement, has successfully lobbied to help pass 9 laws for stricter regulations to make products on shelves safer, and is continuing to advocate for more regulation.   Call to action If you want safer standards governing the ingredients used in products you're bringing into your home and using on your body, ask for them. Contact your representative and ask that there be more regulations put into place.   In this episode we discuss: The power of regulations and law reform How individual voices can support change What corporate activism is The relationship between purpose and profit     Key Takeaways: Corporate involvement in politics typically brings to mind companies doing shady things, for their own benefit, that harm the public good. It's refreshing to see a new crop of companies that are investing resources to lobby the government for tighter regulations that will change industry in ways that support the public good. I'm so impressed by the impact one company can make on an entire industry. I've talked to a number of companies on the Purpose and Profit podcast that saw a broken system, and decided to do something about it. The founder of Beautycounter did just that and is changing the beauty industry for the better. Just because a product made it to a store shelf, does not mean it's been tested to be safe for use. That blows my mind and is really important to remember. I just started watching the mini-series Dopesick, which explores America's struggle with opioid addiction and is an eye-opening example of a product that doctors and patients were told was safe by the FDA and pharma, which turned out to be far from safe. I mention that as an extreme example of the importance of holding government bodies that were created to keep consumers safe accountable for doing a better job, and ensuring they have the power and resources to do a better job.   References: Beautycounter Our Story Transparency: The Truth About Mica documentary Blueprint for Clean The Never List   The state of Minnesota's page on BPA actions, including their band on the use of BPA ban in sippy cups “Beautycounter's SVP Of Mission Lindsay Dahl Takes On Clean Beauty's Critics” Beauty Independent National Law Review article on the National Cosmetics Act For more information on child labor in the mica industry, visit the Responsible Mica Initiative website The Purpose and Profit Podcast episode with Ynzo van Zanten of Tony's Chocolonely Environmental Working Group's EWG Verified mark The Chemical Footprint Project Diane Feinstein press release on the “Personal Care Products Safety Act” The FDA page on Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)   Connect & Share: If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

In our fourth episode of W talks: tech, we explore the world of diagnostics as James Shaw, our Global Head of Withers tech speaks with Mark Davis, Co-Founder and CEO of Mologic, one of the world's leading developers of point of care rapid diagnostic technologies, using lateral flow technology. The COVID-19 pandemic has shone a light on lateral flow testing and the global diagnostics industry for the first time. We hear from Mark Davies who provides insider knowledge into the global diagnostics industry and the vital role it plays in helping combat diseases on a global scale. We discuss how innovation can successfully support a social mission and how to get investors to back that mission. Mologic is a leading developer of lateral flow and rapid diagnostic technologies, products and services who works with companies, researchers and clinicians to help them deliver fast, reliable and accurate diagnosis at the point-of-care. Mologic was established in 2003 by Mark Davis and his Father Professor Paul Davis, Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer, who was one of the named inventors on the original Lateral Flow Patent in the late 80's which was first put to commercial use with the Clearblue pregnancy test kit. Mologic has recently become a ‘Social Enterprise' following an acquisition by a consortium of philanthropic funds and investors including the Soros Economic Development Fund (SEDF) founded by George Soros and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (among others). Global Access Health (GAH), the newly named Social Enterprise, will seek to expand access to affordable state-of-the-art medical technology through decentralized research, development, and manufacturing in and for the Global South. This venture will address gaps in the provision of global diagnostics in low-income communities and regions that profit-focused businesses have failed to address.

When it comes to getting toxic chemicals out of the products we use every day, the choices we make as consumers can only do so much. Yes, I firmly believe that the products we choose to spend our money on is a very important vote with our dollar. And it is often the first step in making the other changes that are also necessary: industry acceptance and government regulations.Truthfully, advocacy has never been something I've focused on. I wasn't “into politics” and didn't think my voice would really make a difference. That thinking has changed in recent years, and part of this shift was actually speaking with my friend Kerri Torrey. She was part of a group of Beautycounter consultants that trekked to our nation's capital to speak with lawmakers about the toxins found in personal care products.I got more curious about Beautycounter as a brand the more I started seeing about the work they were doing in advocacy and transparency. Kerri started sending me blog posts written by a woman named Lindsay Dahl. And I thought, whoa, this woman is brilliant, a force to be reckoned with, and often “I wish I'd written that!”And so it is with great excitement that today's episode is an interview with Lindsay about her advocacy work, our role in creating change, and where the beauty industry is headed.Lindsay Dahl is Beautycounter's SVP, Social Mission where she leads the safety, sustainability, advocacy and giving teams. She has been working for over 15 years to remove toxic chemicals from the products we use every day. Working at the intersection of activism, product safety, and sustainability, Lindsay takes a comprehensive approach to integrating social impact into everything at Beautycounter.Prior to joining the Beautycounter team, Lindsay spearheaded the passage of more than a dozen health protective laws at the state and federal levels, including the nation's first ban on the toxic chemical BPA from baby bottles and other landmark laws on chemicals like flame retardants, mercury, and phthalates. In addition, Lindsay created a nationally acclaimed program—Mind the Store—to encourage top retailers to remove toxic chemicals from products. This initiative led to comprehensive health protective policies from Fortune 500 companies such as Target, Wal-Mart, CVS, The Home Depot and Best Buy.While working in Washington, D.C., Lindsay was the Deputy Director of Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families, the country's largest coalition working to update federal laws on toxic chemicals. Additionally, she was lead strategist for the grassroots movement that ultimately led to the overhaul of toxic chemical regulations, the first since 1976.In this episode we cover:- What is activism and how consumers play a role- Strategies to affect change in regulations- The biggest challenges in toxics regulation reform and how to overcome them- The roles consumers, companies, and government each have in making safer products available for everyone- Lindsay's prediction on the future of clean beauty- 3 actionable tips to support the movement for healthier products to become the norm*****Green Product Forum: https://facebook.com/groups/greenproductforumInstagram: https://instagram.com/emma_greenathomeWebsite: https://greenathome.ca

In Edible-Alpha® podcast #78, Tera is joined by Mark and Judy Thomas, co-founders of Garfield Produce Co., an indoor vertical farm and wholesale food operation in Chicago. The “failed retirees” started this for-profit business/social enterprise in 2014 to provide job opportunities for people with employment barriers. Following successful careers—Mark as a newspaper production leader, Judy as a corporate lawyer—the Thomases volunteered at a food bank and shelter in East Garfield Park, one of Chicago's roughest areas. Through their service, they learned that many in this neighborhood struggled to find jobs nearby, especially men who'd been incarcerated. Mark had been wanting to start a business, so they decided to launch an urban hydroponic farm right in this neighborhood, hoping it could open doors for people recently out of prison and ready to build a better life. Given their social mission, the Thomases could've gone the nonprofit route. Instead, they tapped into their business and accounting acumen and made Garfield Produce a for-profit venture. As Mark explained, this ensured a focus on revenue, expenses, bottom line and careful growth and would allow them to share equity with employees if the business proved successful. Tera commended their approach, noting that many urban agriculture entrepreneurs, while well intended, grapple with the business side and don't end up making it. After constructing a food-safe climate-controlled grow room with the help of grants, Mark and Judy determined that microgreens made the most sense to grow. As specialty products, microgreens command a much higher price than commodity produce and appeal to high-end chefs looking for consistent, top-quality supplies. The Thomases' business plan, including their focus on the foodservice channel, worked wonderfully. Garfield Produce amassed a large clientele while providing great job opportunities locally. By the beginning of 2020, the company was finally in the black. Then came COVID-19. When Illinois's governor ordered all restaurants to close in March, Garfield Produce's sales sank 95% overnight. Fortunately, the company received government grants and loans and was selected for the USDA Farmers to Families Food Box program, all of which kept the business alive through the fall. Now, as the pandemic persists and restaurants remain closed or at limited capacity, the company is building up its e-commerce and retail channels to reach more consumers and exploring growing baby greens to appeal to a wider audience. Through it all, Garfield Produce has maintained what Mark called “the best, most self-directed work team I've ever had.” That's high praise, seeing as Mark once oversaw some 7,000 employees. The Thomases have proven that, beyond just giving ex-cons a chance, working closely with them to develop their job skills and practicing open-book management increases employee engagement and teamwork. Mark and Judy are excellent examples of how leading with empathy and emphasizing self-empowerment can transform lives while also benefiting the bottom line.

Your host for this podcast is Doug Utberg, the founder and principal consultant for Business of Life, LLC. Doug: In the city of Chicago Evan Moffic  is a rabbi but also an associate of mine. Ivan, how are you doing? Evan: I'm doing great, Doug. It's wonderful to be on the podcast and, you know, talk about some of the amazing work you're doing. Doug: Oh, thank you appreciate that. Well, so actually, but Evan, of course, what I'd like to do today is to talk about you, I know you have a, you have a pretty significant social mission that you've been serving with your synagogue. And one of the things that I like to bring to my listeners on the podcast, is just different views, you know, kind of views from different parts of life, the, you know, just the things that make everybody unique, the anti mainstream view of life in America, you might say ,so yeah, take it away. Evan: Well, you know, I guess, what we do is just try to serve the Jewish community and try to serve the community more broadly, really, just trying to be with people in important moments, you know, when people are, you know, getting surgery or experiencing illness, visiting with them, highlighting some of the work that our congregants do in the community, you know, working at soup kitchens, and, you know, fighting gun violence, we just have a lot of, you know, we have a strong social mission to really kind of make a difference in the community and be with people in their most important moments. Doug: Yeah. Evan:  And it varies, it changes all the time. Sometimes it's, sometimes I've got, you know, a lot of tutoring lined up for the day. And another day, it's, you know, funerals. Doug: Yeah. Evan: So it kind of varies, but all of it centers around just serving people.  Doug: Well, and I'd love to hear your fear. How's COVID impacted all this, just because I've, you know, what I've observed is that a lot of people are going through quite a bit of social isolation. And in theory, a religious community would have to be an outlet valve for that. But for example, where I'm at, there's a state puts pretty strict headcount limitations on worship service. And, you know, attending a zoom worship service isn't really the same thing. And not being able to socialize after worship service still isn't really the same thing. So kind of what's your observation on how people are hoping long term impacts are going to be? Evan: It's a great question, and the long term impacts are getting harder to predict. But I can tell you that I'm much more optimistic now than I was at the beginning. Doug: I think to here. Evan: it is, you know, because I saw people really came together. Of course, zoom is not nearly as good as being together in person. But what it has done, is it to allow people to connect, and to participate in worship, without the without having to get out of their homes and go to the synagogue. And that's hard. I mean, we have a lot of older people. I mean, that's, that's true in every most mainline religious communities right now, is it there aren't as many young people as we wish there were. And this has made it easier for people to participate in worship, of course, not participation at the highest level, but its participation in some way. Doug: Yeah. Evan: And we've been a lifeline. I mean, people in my community have...

In this episode, we connect with Chef Maya-Camille Broussard who shares her story as an entrepreneur, business owner and philanthropist.  Broussard established Justice of the Pies in honor of her late father, Stephen J. Broussard. Steve, who dubbed himself the Pie Master, was a criminal defense attorney with a passion for baking and eating anything made with a crust! Justice of the Pies was created to celebrate his love for pies and to honor his belief that everyone deserves an opportunity to reform their lives.  Formed as an L3C, Justice of the Pies considers itself to be a social mission in a culinary art form. The bakery has previously partnered with DreamOn Education to activate the I KNEAD LOVE Workshop. The one-day workshop provides elementary-aged children from lower-income communities instruction on nutritional development, acquiring basic cooking skills, and encouraging creativity in the kitchen. The primary goal of this program is to contribute to efforts in ending food insecurities.  Justice of the Pies also partners with the Cabrini Green Legal Aid (CGLA). CGLA was created to serve legal needs arising from the lack of opportunity, criminalization of poverty, and racial inequity experienced within the Cabrini Green community. Since then, CGLA has grown beyond a single neighborhood to become a citywide, countywide, and now recognized statewide leader in supporting low-income individuals negatively impacted by the criminal justice system. Justice of the Pies and CGLA collaborate on a yearly “pie drive” to raise money for the organization.  Justice of the Pies is committed to providing decency and equality while consistently seeking ways in which it can be a steward for fairness.
