El cocinero José Andrés reúne sus memorias personales y reflexiones filosóficas en torno al poder transformador de la comida y el liderazgo en un libro que ha escrito junto a Richard Wolffe: "Cambia la receta. Porque no puedes construir un mundo mejor sin romper unos cuantos huevos" (Planeta Gastro). "Igual que los cocineros estamos para dar un servicio a la gente, también las gentes que lideran están ahí para dar un servicio a la gente", nos cuenta en Las Mañanas de RNE en directo desde Valencia, donde está visitando zonas afectadas por la DANA. "Todos somos lo que somos gracias a quienes tenemos a nuestro alrededor: en presente, pero sobre todo en pasado, porque han forjado las personas en que nos hemos convertido", reconoce el creador de World Central Kitchen.

In this episode Bill interviews Dr. John Gartner, a former Johns Hopkins professor and founder of Duty to Warn. In his return to the Bill Press Pod, Dr. Gartner provides an in-depth analysis of President Donald Trump's cognitive health, asserting that Trump exhibits signs of severe cognitive decline and personality disorders such as malignant narcissism. He discusses specific instances that showcase Trump's deteriorating mental state, including erratic behavior, memory lapses, and lack of empathy. The episode delves into the challenges and dangers posed by Trump's mental condition, its implications on his presidency, and potential future scenarios.Today Bill once again highlights the work of Chef Jose Andres' World Central Kitchen. While the Trump administration is decimating America's soft power around the world, and our role as a provider of aid to people and countries in peril, the World Central Kitchen goes where they're needed. No matter the war zone nor the danger of a natural disaster. This is one of Carol and my favorite charities and I hope you'll support them at WCK.orgSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This episode of "Restaurant Owners Uncorked" features a conversation with Eric Scheffer, owner of The Scheffer Group in Asheville, North Carolina. Eric provides an update on his successful concepts (Vinnie's Neighborhood Italian Restaurant, Jettie Ray's Oyster House, Gan Shan, and a fifth on the way) and shares a harrowing account of the 2024 Hurricane Helene flood. This 1,000-year disaster crippled Asheville, leaving the city without power and water for months.Eric and his team immediately pivoted, mobilizing their four dark kitchens to feed the community, eventually serving nearly 50,000 meals in partnership with World Central Kitchen. The biggest challenge was securing water: Eric brokered a personal "handshake deal" over bourbon with a Texas water tanker driver. This, combined with the ingenuity of a local plumber, led to the creation of a temporary, complex filtration system, allowing his restaurants to safely operate. Demonstrating remarkable community leadership, The Scheffer Group then helped 21 other local restaurants replicate the expensive system to get them back online.Eric reflects that the tragedy changed his philosophy, underscoring the vital importance of deeply supporting employees who are often "a paycheck away from nothing." He emphasizes that in business, self-reliance is crucial ("the cavalry is not coming") and success hinges on the ability to pivot and be resourceful. Despite seeing the dark side of disaster profiteering, Eric remains optimistic about the economy stabilizing and Asheville's strong rebound.Key Takeaways Community Heartbeat: Restaurants are vital social and physical hubs, essential for leading disaster relief and support. The Pivoting Imperative: Business survival requires an immediate capacity to pivot operations, such as shifting to counter-service, to navigate sudden crises. Disaster Mobilization: Eric's group successfully leveraged closed kitchens and existing stock to serve nearly 50,000 meals in partnership with World Central Kitchen. Resourceful Solutions: When city utilities failed, water was secured through a personal "bourbon and a handshake" deal with a contracted tanker driver and a plumber's innovative filtration system. Mutual Aid: Eric's team extended their water solution to help 21 other Asheville restaurants quickly achieve operational status. Employee Focus: The crisis reinforced the importance of deep employer support for staff, many of whom face significant financial precarity. Self-Reliance: External help (FEMA, government) is unreliable. The core philosophy is that "The cavalry is not coming," forcing businesses to figure it out themselves. The Dark Side: Disasters expose the "disgusting" reality of individuals and companies exploiting human tragedy for obscene financial gain. Optimism/Stabilization: Eric sees stability returning; commodity prices (fuel, distribution) are starting to drop, suggesting a positive year ahead. Vendor Partnerships: Communicate financial struggles with vendors; negotiating product alternatives or pricing can foster collaborative survival.

In this episode, Bill reconnects with Larry Sabato, Founder and Director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia. to discuss the 2026 midterm elections. Sabato shares his insights on why he believes Democrats have the edge going into the midterms, citing dissatisfaction with the current Republican control of the White House, Congress, and the Supreme Court. They delve into the implications of redistricting and special elections, recent shifts in voter behavior among Hispanic and Asian communities, and the influence of former President Donald Trump on upcoming elections. The conversation also covers competitive Senate races, the potential impact of candidates like Susan Collins, and the possible future role of J.D. Vance in the 2028 presidential race. The discussion highlights the importance of politics in shaping the future of the nation and reflects on past progress while expressing optimism for the future. Today Bill highlights the work of Jose Andres and The World Central Kitchen. On the front lines of war and natural disasters.

Chef, humanitarian, and author Jose Andres discussed his career, his global relief efforts with World Central Kitchen, his books, and his love of food with David M. Rubenstein. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The World Central Kitchen began distributing food to furloughed federal workers in Washington, D.C., during the government shutdown that started on October 1, 2025. Founded by Chef José Andrés in 2010 after Haiti was hit by a catastrophic earthquake, the World Central Kitchen adheres to its mission of feeding those in need. Their global reach has led them to Gaza and Ukraine, but they also swoop in to help domestically, most recently deploying their efforts to Texas following fatal flooding that devastated the region in July. Furloughed federal workers from across the nation's capital lined up to take food that the World Central Kitchen provided by teaming with local restaurants across the District of Columbia. Elizabeth Anderson, a furloughed NASA employee, said it's tough being a federal worker at this moment. “I'm thankful for the work that World Central Kitchen's doing, just to give us a little extra cushion for the furlough,” Anderson said. Humberto Lopez, a furloughed federal worker with the Department of Defense, said he is starting to feel the financial squeeze of the shutdown. “It's starting to get real. You know, we just missed the paycheck, so definitely moving money around, playing money games, and you know you can't sustain this for much longer,” Lopez said. Megan Fortier, a furloughed FEMA employee, said she was walking through the Navy Yard neighborhood when, by chance, she saw the food distribution tents. “It's just tough that the people who are supposed to be supporting us and showing up for us aren't showing up,” Fortier said. The World Central Kitchen is distributing fresh food, fruit, and water, ranging from vegetarian to meat options to accommodate workers' dietary restrictions.

In this week's episode I sat down with Hillary Wool. Hillary is a disabled business strategist, model, and advocate reshaping how we think about ambition, style, and wellness for chronically ill and disabled women. As a partner at Boston Consulting Group, she led global research on the disabled workforce experience, which was covered in outlets including The New York Times and Forbes. She has also modeled in national campaigns with Target and Marshalls.

Picture two spaces. In one, a field kitchen bubbles over with life. Under a makeshift tent, pots clatter, onions hiss on a portable hot plate, and someone's calling out, “We need more rice!” A neighbor who's just lost everything ladles soup for another who's just walked miles through mud.In the second space, a yoga studio, breath slows, shoulders drop, the air smells faintly of lavender, bodies move in a quiet synchronicity, finding flow after a day that was herky jerky at best.Some people can build both kinds of spaces.I've always been fascinated by what it takes to steady yourself when the world around you is in chaos. My guest today, Fiona Donovan, Vice President of Response Administration for World Central Kitchen, has built her career as a student of that very question.WCK, a nonprofit founded by chef José Andrés, is famous for being first to the frontlines in times of crisis–hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes, war zones–anywhere people are hungry and hurting. Their teams set up field kitchens that serve fresh, hot meals with dignity and heart.Fiona leads those teams. She oversees global relief operations, coordinating thousands of volunteers, local chefs, and community partners to deliver nourishing food to people quickly.Before joining WCK, she worked in international development and taught in the Peace Corps. She knows what it means to be in the field, boots muddy, adrenaline high, trying to make things better fast.In our conversation, Fiona and I trace the thread between field kitchens and yoga studios, between cooking for hundreds and centering yourself for one slow breath. We talk about how to lead with listening, how to design trust before structure, and how to tell when your body's in reactive mode versus responsive mode. And maybe most beautifully, how to come down from long seasons of urgency without losing your purpose.Fiona's story is what it looks like when compassion gets operationalized. So take a breath, soften your shoulders, and maybe imagine the smell of something delicious cooking.Listen to the full episode to hear:The practices and hobbies that Fiona has cultivated to ground herself as she transitions out of the fieldHow the work of creating welcoming, safe spaces at WCK has translated into how Fiona approaches teaching yogaWhy it's so important for WCK to partner closely with communities when they're responding to a disasterHow Fiona approaches being responsive instead of reactive, for herself and her teams, even under immense pressureHow WCK empowers its field leaders to make decisions during a crisis without getting hung up by perfectionismA simple, shared practice of what we're currently grateful forLearn more about Fiona Donovan:World Central KitchenLearn more about Valerie Black:The Change AgencyBecoming Power NewsletterCoachingResources:The Great Work of Your Life: A Guide for the Journey to Your True Calling, Stephen Cope

In this week's episode of Always Looking Up I sat down with Lindi Marcusen. Lindi is a Paralympic sprinter and long jumper whose journey began after surviving a catastrophic accident in 2017 that resulted in the loss of her right leg and a traumatic brain injury. A former high-level gymnast, Lindi turned to adaptive sports during her recovery, finding purpose and power through competition. Now a 5x national champion and 100 meter American record holder, she represented the USA in the 2024 Paris Paralympics, proving that resilience and determination can redefine what's possible. We discuss her Paralympic journey that started with learning to walk again, traveling while disabled, the structural and societal barriers that are put in place, and how she is working to dismantle them and much, much more.

This episode of Food Talk features two conversations from Food Tank's recent Summit in Washington D.C. First the chef and humanitarian Jose Andres, Founder of the Global Food Institute at GW and World Central Kitchen, joins Dani to talk about changing outdated policies to meet the current moment, food as a universal human right, and finding opportunities in today's challenges.  Then James Beard Award-winning author and culinary historian Michael Twitty sits down with Tim Carman of the Washington Post to discuss his new book Recipes from the American South, the pain and pleasure in our food and farming systems, and the meanings and languages of plants. This event was held in partnership with the Global Food Institute at GW, the Culinary Institute of America, and Jose Andres, in collaboration with Driscoll's, Meatable, and Oatly.

In this episode. Bill interviews Matt Gertz, Senior Fellow at Media Matters for America. They discuss various topics, including the recent media silence around a right-wing hate crime, the Jimmy Kimmel controversy, and the influence of corporate conglomerates on the free press. Gertz details how media giants often prioritize profit over journalism, resulting in increased vulnerability to political pressure. They explore how the Trump administration has attempted to manipulate the media landscape to favor its narrative, exemplified by threats from FCC Chair Brendan Carr and Attorney General Pam Bondi's remarks on hate speech. The conversation also touches on Donald Trump's admiration for authoritarian leaders and the implications for the First Amendment and press freedom in the United States.Today Bill features the work of the World Central Kitchen run by Jose Andres. As the war goes on in Ukraine the World Central Kitchen is there, taking care of that war-torn country.

We're joined by journalist and best-selling author, Jonathan Alter, to dig deeper into the latest in Trump's America. Jonathan's most recent piece in Washington Monthly explains how the BBB's enormous funding for ICE will turn America into a police state. With over 75 billion dollars, ICE will now be bigger than all American law enforcement agencies combined. We discuss Trump's authoritarianism, including the ongoing shake down of American universities and law firms. Plus, Texas Republicans are redistricting the state to add 5 new Republican seats to the House. How can Democrats fight back? Can California and New York do the same? Amid all of the depressing news, Alter also brings a message of hope! He deeply believes in the importance of people power. Citizens are learning ways to resist and make their voices heard. And with the coming midterms, he's optimistic that Democrats CAN take back the House.  DONATE to World Central Kitchen and help feed the starving people of Gaza: https://donate.wck.org/ READ Jonathan's piece on ICE in Washington Monthly: https://washingtonmonthly.com/2025/07/14/america-is-now-a-police-state/ CHECK OUT Jonathan's Substack, Old Goats: https://oldgoats.substack.com/ For information on our newest sponsor, Mint Mobile: www.mintmobile.com/franken

Air Date: 7-27-2025 Back when I worked in the climate movement, just after the turn of the century, we knew that the extreme weather we were warning about would become ever-more clear to see in people's lived experiences and assumed that any doubts people had about the science of climate change would be wiped away with the evidence they could see with their own eyes as weather became more intense and less predictable. Of course, we didn't foreseen that we were headed straight into the eye of a storm of partisan conspiracism that would fully take over a third of the political spectrum.
