What is the Food Heroes Podcast?

Right before Expo West, I released the very first episode of my brand new podcast.

Now that we are 5 episodes in I want to share with you exactly why I launched this podcast. I'll also tell you what it's all about and what you can expect from future episodes of Food Heroes. 

The Food Heroes Podcast is a show dedicated to sharing the latest stories, tips, and insider knowledge from the people and businesses that are positively shaping the food industry.

Why am I doing a podcast?

There are umpteen reasons for jumping into a podcast so I had to pick a few to share with you:

• I am addicted to podcasts! I've gained so much by listening to other podcasters. It's so easy to learn new things all while driving or exercising. I'm a huge fan of podcasts!
• My friend Adam Yee, host of the My Food Job Rocks inspired me. Beyond learning about the types of jobs in the food industry his show has opened up a conversation about our industry. MFJR is shining a light into an industry that very few people understand. When I listen to Adam's podcast I learn about the dedication and passion his guests have for the food industry and I share that passion and optimism.
• I saw a divide between people who eat food and the people who make food. I was reading a lot of misinformation along with some alarming facts. I wanted to speak up and hear from others in the food industry. Nobody is running a show within the food space that focuses on social responsibility, ethical business practices, or sustainably focused food. Food Heroes will provide value and actionable tips from people taking the steps to ensure the future of food.
• I wanted to surround myself with socially responsible food entrepreneurs and learn from them. Food, in particular, is under pressure to be more transparent across the entire business ecosystem. I felt it was important to build a platform to share knowledge, celebrate the successes, and build a supportive community. Plus I'm just nosey and like to hear people tell their stories!

What can you expect from the podcast?

The podcast will air two times a month. It's a one-woman show right now and a labor of love.

If you’re looking for insights from people who have gone beyond asking "what if ?" to taking action - then this is the show for you. I interview those courageous enough to make changes in the food industry. We will learn about their business, the challenges they have overcome and share stories of personal growth.

You will not hear "This is the way it’s always been done" from a guest on Food Heroes Podcast! EVER!

How can you listen to the show?

It's easy! I have a website dedicated to show notes, resources, and in-depth blogs on the topics we cover in the podcast. You can view the website here.

Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy the podcast and will reach out with your feedback. It's through your feedback that I learn and grow!
