In part two of the Shuffle Bois' two-part series on Burger, they turn to the goliath-pioneer of fast food: McDonalds. They trace the company's flailing attempts to rebrand itself in the 2000s, some of the lasting innovations that they implemented in the decade, and outline some of the reasons that McDonalds' revenue peaked in the 2000s before starting to decline.

Twenty years ago, Morgan Spurlock released his low-budget documentary Super Size Me, and achieved success that most documentary filmmakers can only dream about. The film made millions at the box office, it was nominated for an Academy Award, and it turned Morgan into a star. To this day, the film is still shown in middle school and high school health classes across the country. But in 2017, Morgan made a shocking confession that derailed his career and called into question Super Size Me's original claims. Earlier this year, Morgan died of cancer. In this week's show, Sporkful senior producer Andres O'Hara talks with some of the people closest to Morgan to figure out: Who really was Morgan Spurlock? How did Super Size Me become such a huge hit? And after all these years, should we still be showing it to kids?The Sporkful production team includes Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Nora Ritchie, Jared O'Connell, and Giulia Leo.

“It changed my business, it saved my marriage, I have five kids and I use this every day.” Today's guest Alexandra Jamieson, known for co-creating the documentary Supersize Me, recalls the words a friend said to her that encouraged Alexandra to write the book which eventually became “Radical Alignment.” Co-authored with her husband, Bob Gower, it is based on Alexandra's four-step “all-in” method for approaching any personal and professional conversation so that everyone feels seen, heard and understood. On today's episode of The Conscious Entrepreneur, she breaks down the method's four parts—Intentions, Concerns, Boundaries, and Dreams, and why they are crucial to creating effective communication, strong leadership, reduced conflict and a sense of psychological safety in the workplace.   We should all be reevaluating our values as often as possible, Alexandra says, as they change as often as the seasons. She shares stories of clients she's worked with in her coaching practice who were brave enough to make major life changes by listening to and honoring their own needs and deepest desires. She talks about the dangers of hustle culture, the prominence of imposter syndrome and how to best address them both.    Alexandra's own life is full of rich and diverse experiences, and her website reads “don't be defined by one box.” Join today's discussion to hear more of her story.   Quotes “We change as we age. Life changes us and we discover new things about ourselves as we go through life. Our values, while they're not going to change drastically, one value may become more important in your 40s, 50s and 60s than it was in your 20s. So, how can you get comfortable with shifting your identity? You're not necessarily changing everything about who you are, you can still have great relationships with people you always loved, but how can you become fully yourself through the years?” (8:15 | Alexandra Jamieson)  “I've gotta say, having worked with a lot of serial and successful entrepreneurs over the years, I think the hustle culture values that we have seen a lot in the last 20 years, man—it's killing us. Quite literally.” (11:01 | Alexandra Jamieson) “I was very averse to conflict, in my earlier life, didn't like it, avoided tough conversations. And then I realized, I can't proceed through life like this, this is not how a leader leads their own life, and it causes other problems.” (14:51 | Alexandra Jamieson) “You might not come to an answer at the end of this, but it helps get all the cards on the table so that you can build empathy, be connected and then realize where the hidden landmines might be for a big conversation.” (16:26 | Alexandra Jamieson)  “‘Boundaries' is the hardest for most people. Depending on your age, your gender, how you were raised, you might not be used to having boundaries or being asked about them, or being allowed. And in a work scenario, it may not feel safe to say, ‘Oh, I don't work past five.' Boundaries can be the most challenging to bring up in a personal or professional setting.” (21:28 | Alexandra Jamieson)    Links Connect with Alexandra Jamieson: Website: https://www.alexandrajamieson.com/   Connect with Alex Raymond: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/afraymond/ Website: https://consciousentrepreneur.us/ HiveCast.fm is a proud sponsor of The Conscious Entrepreneur Podcast.

What if there was an evidenced-based, food-as-medicine protocol for kick-starting weight-loss and keeping it off permanently? That's what my guest, Dr. Neal Barnard is back on the show to discuss! To remind you, Dr. Barnard is President of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and was featured in Forks Over Knives, What The Health, Plant Pure Nation, Supersize Me, and many more incredible films, and has been a guest on this podcast probably 4-5 times now. His brand new book, The Power Foods Diet: The Breakthrough Plan That Traps, Tames, and Burns Calories for Easy and Permanent Weight Loss just released Tuesday, I was honored to get a copy and I am just pouring over every single word. Weight loss is one of our top health concerns, so much so that we keep looking for good ways to lose weight, preferably a way that is easy, effective, and permanent. It turns out that, when properly  chosen, certain foods cause weight loss, with no need for the deprivation and planning that most weight-loss regimens require.  In the book, Dr. Barnard reveals three breakthroughs that are supported by research, revealing that certain foods: 1.  can reduce the appetite 2.  trap calories so they are flushed away and cannot be absorbed, and, 3.  increase the body's ability to burn calories for about three hours after each meal.  These breakthroughs make weight loss incredibly easy, without calorie counting or deprivation. This diet encourages people to eat, not to stop eating. Dr. Barnard also reveals that some of the foods we think are good for us can actually be harmful, like salmon, goat cheese, and coconut oil, all of which pass easily into body fat...and often overstay their welcome.  To make it easy, Dr. Barnard includes a simple to follow meal plan that includes delicious, and even indulgent plant-based recipes which include foods we have often been told to avoid, like potatoes and pasta, so you can eat real food, and still lose real weight.

In 2023, she was awarded the prestigious Edinburgh Medal for Science and Humanities.   So tune in for an illuminating conversation with a crusader who's dedicated her life to changing our broken food system!   “I finally caught on to agriculture, that you cannot understand why people eat the food they do unless you understand how the agricultural system works. And now everything is a food system. How does the whole system work? Everything about food, from how it's grown to how it's transported to how it's sold to how it's marketed to how people buy it, eat it, waste it, and all of the sociology that goes with that. So, I went from being a splitter to a lumper. Splitters are – the world divides into splitters and lumpers – and in the beginning, I was a splitter. I was interested in every single nutrient; I cared a lot about every single one of them. And now what I'm really interested in is what the whole system looks like. Because I think if we're going to encourage people to eat more healthfully, we need system change.” - Dr. Marion Nestle   What we discuss in this episode: - Why Dr. Nestle chose a career path in nutrition. - How, when, and why the obesity epidemic started. - How food companies try to get people to eat more. - The role ultra-processed junk foods play in poor health outcomes. - How the tobacco industry deceived and manipulated the public, and how food companies have adopted the same tactics. - Debunking food myths. - The importance of eating a whole food plant-based diet. - How the food industry influences the dietary guidelines of the United States. - Why you should be discerning about the food you feed your pets. - Dr. Nestle's lifestyle and diet.   Resources: - Bulletproof coffee review: https://switch4good.org/press_releases/new-review-shoots-holes-in-bulletproof-coffees-health-claims/ - Marion Nestle's Food Politics blog: Food Politics - https://www.foodpolitics.com/ - Her books: Marion Nestle: books, biography, latest update - https://www.amazon.com/stores/Marion-Nestle/author/B001ILIEEY?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true - Twitter/X: Marion Nestle (@marionnestle) / X - https://twitter.com/marionnestle?lang=en - Instagram: Marion Nestle (@marionnestle) • Instagram photos and videos - https://www.instagram.com/marionnestle/   ★☆★ Click the link below to support the ADD SOY Act! ★☆★ https://switch4good.org/add-soy-act/ ★☆★ Share the website and get your resources here ★☆★ https://kidsandmilk.org/ ★☆★ Send us a voice message and ask a question.
