In this episode, we're talking about stevia - not really the stevia derived from the plant. We're talking about a "stevia" product developed by Cargill and Royal DSM which is the synthetic biology and scientific fermentation of genes and yeast, and it is showing up in our food supply chain as a trademarked product called EverSweet™. This zero-calorie, "non-artificial" sweetener is designed to “urgently advance sugar reduction around the world" and ”to support good health and well being in our societies”. There is no scientific evidence to back up the claim that it supports good health and well being. They claim this product is "sustainable", but it seems more like greenwashing, and there is a lot of money invested into this venture. It begs the question....cui bono? I think you know the answer...but I hope you listen in to find out. Share this episode with someone you love and I'll see you on the other side of the plate. Chow.

Today I go over some of the most hilariously bad company reviews left on Glassdoor.com. I discuss how to interpret them so that you can use them to your advantage.

Before the news of the fires in the Amazon drew national attention, environmental organization Mighty Earth was calling out American agricultural giant Cargill for its contributions to deforestation in South America, among numerous other environmentally destructive practices. In this episode, host Lisa Held talks to Mighty Earth CEO Glenn Hurowitz about the scathing report the organization released (and the New York Times covered) in July—Cargill: The Worst Company in the World. They discuss why Cargill is such a standout offender when it comes to environmental degradation, how industrial animal agriculture contributes to deforestation and other issues, and what can be done. The Farm Report is a Heritage Radio Network show, recorded live on Full Service Radio at the LINE Hotel in Adams Morgan, Washington DC. The Farm Report is powered by Simplecast.

Two stories this week with ESG glasses: Capital One does not know who is in your wallet (0:38), and NGOs call Cargill the worst company in the world (10:25), all on the record.

The Angry Clean Energy Guy on a virus infecting sustainability: Big Oil are deliberately poisoning what sustainability means, diluting its impact and reach, and they are doing that in plain sight, borrowing the language and applying it to terrible initiatives and companies all designed to propagate our use of harmful fossil fuels and indeed increase it, rather than decrease it, when everyone knows we need to power the world with renewables as well as pretty much phase out our use of oil, gas and coal by 2050 – to have any chance of avoiding catastrophic climate change. Winner of the week: Asset managers Sarasin, for divesting from Shell while not mincing words. Villain of the week, Cargill, named “Worst Company in the World” by NGO Mighty Earth

The Customer Centricity Playbook: Implement a Winning Strategy Driven by Customer Lifetime Value by Peter Fader and Sarah Toms Click here to view the show notes! https://www.salesartillery.com/marketing-book-podcast/customer-centricity-playbook-peter-fader How did global gaming company Electronic Arts go from being named “Worst Company in America” to clearing a billion dollars in profit? They discovered a simple truth—and acted on it: Not all customers are the same, regardless of how they appear on the surface. The most successful companies, from Amazon to Best Buy, understand their best customers are their most valuable asset, and they tailor their acquisition, development, and retention efforts to those customers. In The Customer Centricity Playbook, Wharton School professor Peter Fader and Wharton Interactive’s executive director Sarah Toms help you see your customers as individuals rather than a monolith, so you can stop wasting resources by chasing down product sales to each and every consumer. Fader and Toms offer a 360-degree analysis of all the elements that support customer centricity within an organization. In this book, you will learn how to: -Develop a customer-centric strategy for your organization -Understand the right way to think about customer lifetime value (CLV) -Finetune investments in customer acquisition, retention, and development tactics based on customer heterogeneity -Foster a culture that sustains customer centricity, and also understand the link between CLV and market valuation -Understand customer relationship management (CRM) systems, as they are a vital underpinning for all these areas through the valuable insights they provide Fader’s first book, Customer Centricity, quickly became a go-to for readers interested in focusing on the right customers for strategic advantage. In this new book, Fader and Toms offer a true playbook for companies of all sizes that want to create and implement a winning strategy to acquire, develop, and retain customers for the greatest value.

The former “Worst Company in America” is apparently trying to regain the title, or at least that’s what they might want us to think with the latest news about their monetization of Star Wars Battlefront 2 and the massive internet backlash against it.  As if that wasn’t bad enough, they also announced that they purchased Respawn, the developers behind the Titanfall franchise, so expect another studio closure in a few years.  Injustice 2 makes some waves with its latest Fighter Pack having the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as guest characters!  Cowabunga, dude!   #ea #starwars #battlefront2 #respawn #injustice #tmnt

Although, when calling to check on this I was advised WF will count coins for no fee for either customers or non-customers IF they have a coin counting machine in the branch, but if they do not, then the tellers will not take the coins (they should) and will refer the customers to another branch.  WF was unable to tell me if they have a policy spelled out on their website, and I could not find one. 34:15:  WF and others charing non account holders $5 fee to cash checks drawn on their bank:http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/stories/2005/09/05/daily12.html35:20: Regulations D Savings Fee Info:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_D39:00: Bob Sullivan's book "Gotcha Capitalism"http://www.gotchacapitalism.com/44:22: http://www.moveyourmoney.info  is the site helping you find other smaller more local banks to bank with instead of these big 4 banks the fee you to death and took your tax bailout money, yet won't pay you decent interest or loan you money. Huffington Post coverage: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-huffington/move-your-money-a-new-yea_b_406022.html45:45: How banks play games with waiting to credit your deposit to your account:http://www.bankrate.com/brm/news/chk/19991102.aspThis article also has 6 great tips to avoid this affecting you or making your account go negative. 46:09: Check 21: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_2146:25: The Expedited Funds Availability Act: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expedited_Funds_Availability_Act46:45: Here is some good strategy for getting the fees waived:http://money.blogs.time.com/2010/02/23/the-customer-service-confrontation-what-to-say-to-get-fees-waived/Escalation Resources:47:41: Federal Reserve Bank: Consumer Complaint Form: http://www.federalreserveconsumerhelp.gov/consumercomplaint.cfmContact Info listed on that same page as well. 49:00: Office of Comptroller of the Currency:Complaint Form: https://appsec.helpwithmybank.gov/olcc_form/Contact Info Here:http://www.helpwithmybank.gov/contactus/index.html50:00: Complain about a Credit Union:http://www.ncua.gov/Resources/ConsumerInformation/Complaints/index.aspxPick the right category of Credit Union, then pick your state, and the contact info for the correct regulator will be revealed.50:47: Karney Hatch's Video "Overdrawn" featured his successful suit against Wells Fargo fighting outrageous overdraft fees. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUXRBehEuH0Overdrawn homepage: http://www.overdrawnmovie.net51:45: Consumerist.com article link to web page for small claims court process in all 50 states:http://consumerist.com/2008/01/suing-big-companies-in-small-claims-court-is-fun-and-easy.htmlDirect link to the resource: http://law.freeadvice.com/resources/smallclaimscourts.htm52:30 Kopelowitz & Ostrow law firm is another possible legal option:  See if there is a class action suit and join it, or start a new one: http://www.bankoverdraftlawyers.com/how-to-avoid-bank-overdraft-fees.phpSocial Media Sites to Publicize your story and complain at:53:15:  Consumerist.com:  http://www.consumerist.com (Email your story to them, if they cover it, seen by thousands of people, but note, they redact the story so the actual location of the business isn't revealed.)The rest of these sites do NOT redact stuff, which I feel is better.Rip Off Report: http://www.ripoffreport.com My3Cents.com: http://www.my3cents.comPlanetFeedback: http://www.planetfeedback.comComplaints.com: http://www.complaints.comEpinions.com: http://www.epinions.comThese sites are geographically oriented.  When other consumers search for that business, they just might see your review and not shop there!
