🥦🎵 In this week’s episode, we hear from Lisa Gross, owner of The League of Kitchens. She is one such human. She’s the founder of a business that at every level values women in ways that are revolutionary💪

Packed into one company, she has managed to capture what America needs most right now: 👏meaningful cultural exchange, putting women at the center of the story, celebrating diversity, celebrating immigrants, and being revolutionary by paying women for their talents - talents, I will add, that have been taken for granted historically as household “duties”.

In this week’s episode, I talk about rice with farmer Michael Bosworth. Michael is a different kind of rice farmer. While the majority of California rice is grown for sushi, Michael has shifted to nurturing unique varieties of grains grown less with a focus on yield and instead with a focus on flavor. His new company, True Origin Foods, was a small idea before the pandemic hit. Today, with the rise in home cooking and the growing consumer desire to buy local, Michael’s business model is thriving.
