In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Team, I am stoked to bring you today’s episode with the incredibly smart Jacob Pechenik. This absolute legend is the founder of Lettuce Grow, a company creating “Farm Stands” which are small hydroponic micro-farms that allow you to grow your own pre-sprouted plants that are ready to harvest, fresh, within three weeks. This company is truly amazing. Not only are they giving their consumers the power to produce at least 20% of their own food while using 95% less water. They are pesticide-free, non-GMO, use recyclable eco-conscious packaging, and do a host of other amazing things. If you are interested in entrepreneurship, sustainability, and or the agricultural industry, this is definitely the episode for you. Funny enough, too many it may seem like Jacob started Lettuce Grow out of nowhere. His story is actually quite incredible. Jacob attended MIT with no idea what he wanted to study. As he was undecided on his career trajectory, he chose the hardest major at the school, chemical engineering, and did it, graduating with a perfect GPA. I don’t know about you legends but to me, that’s pretty impressive. After graduating, he started a couple of companies in the finance and tech space, ended up becoming a film producer having helped produce over 30 films in his career, and then decided to drop all of that and get into the agricultural space in a unique way. After leaving the film industry, Jacob co-created the Farm Project and eventually built Lettuce Grow to help consumers develop a new food system. At this point, Lettuce Grow has over 1.6 million square feet of farmland across all of their individual consumer farm stands, which are truly improving the health of people and the planet. In today’s episode we specifically discuss: How do I start a food selling business? Focus on the experience, flavor, and impact. By dialing these factors in, you can make a competitive product. How can a business be sustainable? You have to address all aspects of your business from ideation, design, production, function, distribution, and end of life. Lettuce Grow focuses on this. How can a farm be environmentally sustainable? Lettuce Grow provides individuals with fresh produce that is better for them and for the planet. It requires 95% less water, eliminates trips to the grocery store thereby reducing co2 emissions, and has a host of other benefits.

Legends! Today’s episode is particularly interesting and relevant. I had the pleasure of talking with Dr. Doni Wilson who is a naturopathic doctor, a clinical nutritionist, a best-selling author of The Stress Remedy , and now she is the author of her new book Master Your Stress Reset Your Health . Dr. Doni specializes in the field of stress and building our bodies to properly manage and optimize stress levels. From observing women in labor and giving birth, she realized that a certain amount of cortisol and adrenaline (stress) is needed to successfully give birth. This caused Dr. Doni to understand that all stress isn’t bad, and what we need to do is learn how to give the necessary support to individuals in high-stress situations to achieve the optimum cortisol and adrenaline levels. An amazing thing we talk about is how our bio-individuality and unique stressors change the way we can manage stress and become resilient to it. In today’s episode we specifically discuss: We discuss cortisol, what it does, and healthy levels Is it good to have cortisol? What are the symptoms of high cortisol levels? What are the symptoms of low cortisol levels? Is cortisol the same as adrenaline? What should my cortisol level be? What do cortisol levels indicate? We also discuss adrenaline, its impact, and healthy levels What type of hormone is adrenaline? What is stress? What causes stress? We discuss the relationship between exercise and stress Why does exercise reduce stress? How does exercise affect cortisol levels? Can exercise cause high cortisol levels? I find this topic of stress management so interesting as it relates to essentially every aspect of our lives. Whether it’s work, relationships, or reflecting upon yourself, stress is a present and necessary feeling. The problem arises when we don’t know how to properly manage stress. If you want to learn more about how to manage stress and improve your life, connect with Dr. Doni at the following links: Dr. Doni’s Website Dr. Doni’s Instagram Read her new book Master Your Stress Reset Your Health ALSO, go pre-order Dr. Bulsiewicz’s new book The Fiber Fueled Cook Book Now!…

Legends, today’s guest is Drew Levich, the founder of Drew’s Cookies. Drew graduated nearby from NYU with a degree in economics and proceeded to sell a few successful businesses. We all hear that money doesn’t buy happiness, and it’s true. At a certain point Drew felt completely empty inside and after a trip to Kenya and Rwanda and being back in nature, he felt a deep desire to do more in life, give back, and decrease humanity's carbon footprint. Team, this is something I’m huge on. I can’t stress enough the need for these conversations where we can dive into how a business can perform sustainably and help rather than harm the environment. After returning from his trip to Africa, Drew set his intentions on creating a business that helps people and the environment. He decided to make an epic cookie company called Drew’s Cookies which is about love and bringing people together from all walks of life using sweet treats as an agent for conversation, environmental philanthropy, and change on a corporate, local and global level. A pretty baller thing to acknowledge is that Drew’s Cookies gives away 100% of their profits for social good.

How to create social change through business The importance of voting with your dollar I really enjoyed this conversation. Drew is a legend and the innovation Drew’s Cookies is pushing is exciting.
