00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 4: So this one, this one is gonna be a good one.

22
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 4: Comes courtesy of our family. Damn Vincent. Yeah, congratulations, finally

23
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 4: get something this This was a dope one though. When

24
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 4: I when I saw this story, it was it was

25
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 4: very unique and very interesting. I'm like, we definitely gott

26
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 4: to cover this. This is dope. So Jasmine Crowe entrepreneur

27
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 4: and it's really dope. So she's a founder of a

28
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 4: company name Gooder Got good her And it's interesting because

29
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 4: I realized that after doing some research, that there's seventy

30
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 4: two billion pounds of food that ends up in landfills

31
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 4: every year. One out of seven people suffer from food insecure,

32
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:53,279
Speaker 4: and I think now.

33
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 5: It's even like one out of five. Because of everything

34
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 5: that's going on with coronavirus and the pandemic, just so

35
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 5: many more people are going hungry. And what's crazy is

36
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 5: that seventy two billion pounds that's just from businesses. So

37
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 5: that doesn't include the food that we throw away in

38
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 5: our households. That's something like one hundred and sixty one billion.

39
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 5: So this is like grocery stores, colleges, restaurants, you know, stadiums.

40
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 5: That's who throws away that seventy two billion pounds.

41
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 3: And that's that's just the United States. That's not even

42
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 3: a world.

43
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 2: That's just the US.

44
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, crazy, that's definitely enough food to in hunger is.

45
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: In the landfill.

46
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 4: And then also there's a two hundred and eighteen billion

47
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 4: dollar annually spent on in the US to grow, process,

48
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 4: and transport food that's actually disposed enough eating. So I

49
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 4: say that to say, obviously, there's a lot of food

50
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 4: that's wasting. There's a lot of people that's hungry. So

51
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 4: Jasmine came away with a company that actually takes the

52
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 4: food that's actually being that would be thrown away and

53
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 4: actually feeds it to people in need. So we're going

54
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 4: to talk about that. We're going to talk about the

55
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 4: business models. It's interested and the whole story is interested

56
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 4: and this very unique business. But first and foremost, thank

57
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 4: you for joining us. Appreciate it.

58
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 2: Thank you guys so much for having me.

59
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 5: I feel honored and welcome to Atlanta's great city. You

60
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 5: guys may never want to leave. You know, I'm pretty

61
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 5: sure in different times we could show you even much

62
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 5: more fun. But as you can see, Atlanta is still

63
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 5: kind of.

64
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 6: Nothing.

65
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 3: Kind of feels like old times out here.

66
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 5: You have to wear your mask inside places, and that's pretty.

67
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 2: Much about it.

68
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 4: Depends on what places you're in, as we've learned as

69
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 4: a fact.

70
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 6: All Right, so how did this start? How did this start?

71
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 6: How did good To start?

72
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 4: Because, like I said, I mean, it seems like such

73
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 4: a brilliant idea, but I haven't heard of anybody else

74
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 4: doing it. So what gave you the idea to actually

75
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 4: think like this is actually something that could be a business.

76
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: You know, Before I.

77
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 5: Started good Or, I had this company called Black Celebrity Giving,

78
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 5: which I'm actually going to revamp, and I would work,

79
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 5: as you can guess.

80
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: With black celebrities, worked with a host of celebrities.

81
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 5: So I started Futures Foundation, Candy Burusts, so many more,

82
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 5: and I would help them do their community giving rights,

83
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 5: so defining their giving blueprint. And what I realized is

84
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 5: I was extremely busy around Christmas, Thanksgiving and back to school,

85
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 5: like that's when everybody wanted to do something, and then

86
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 5: throughout the rest of the year I would kind of

87
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 5: just be void of work. And so I started an

88
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 5: initiative called Sunday Soul, and I started going out and

89
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 5: feeding people right here in downtown Atlanta every two weeks

90
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 5: that were homeless, and started then taking it to Senior

91
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 5: homes and just feeding and senior homes, and mind you,

92
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 5: I was just taking donations, using my own money, coupon

93
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 5: and price matching, cooking all the food, going out, feeding

94
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 5: five hundred people every two weeks, you know, coming back,

95
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 5: cleaning up my kitchen. So this process would take me

96
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 5: like forty hours every single every week to do this.

97
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 5: And so a video from one of my pop up

98
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 5: restaurants that I would host went viral on Facebook and

99
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 5: I woke up on more thing thousands of comments, friend

100
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 5: request views and you know, millions of views later. I'm

101
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 5: reading through the comments one day and people were saying, Oh,

102
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 5: this is so amazing.

103
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 2: Who donates the food?

104
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 5: And the reality was like nobody, And I'm like, dang,

105
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 5: Like it would make a lot more sense if I

106
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 5: could get this food donated so that I want to

107
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 5: have to cook it and price match and go to

108
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 5: five and six different grocery stores. And that's just a

109
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 5: simple Google search, you know what happens to extra food

110
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 5: at the end of the night from restaurants. I stumbled

111
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 5: across food Ways and I'm like, I really quite honestly

112
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 5: got upset because I'm like, dang, like all this food

113
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 5: seventy two billion pounds of food is going to waste.

114
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 5: I'm you know, robing Peter to pay Paul, taking five

115
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 5: dollar donations here and there, trying to feed, you know,

116
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 5: hundreds of people, and at the same time, these businesses

117
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 5: are throwing away all this food. And I think that's

118
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 5: really where that first initial idea kind of came from.

119
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 3: So the Soul Sundays was an idea at first, and

120
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 3: then it moved into sold restaurants sold Sunday restaurant.

121
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

122
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 5: And you know the reason why I did that is

123
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 5: because people would sometimes be lined around the block hours

124
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 5: in life, for like an hour and a half, two

125
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 5: hours sometimes to eat, and I always used to let

126
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 5: women and children go first. And one time, this man,

127
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 5: you know, there was a little argument I noticed kind

128
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 5: of at the line. I think he was arguing with somebody,

129
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 5: and I went back and I was like, no, sir,

130
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 5: you know I've been cooking for three days. I promise

131
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 5: you there's more than enough food for everybody. And he

132
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 5: really checked me, and he said, you know, I've been

133
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 5: waiting in line for almost an hour. If I don't

134
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 5: eat today, you know, I don't know when I'm gonna

135
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 5: eat again, because nobody ever comes out here during the week,

136
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 5: so you know, I was out there on Sundays and

137
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 5: I just started thinking, like dang, Like how often do

138
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 5: I wait for like an hour and thirty minutes to

139
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 5: get food?

140
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 7: Like never?

141
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: Right, Like, if it's I can't get a reservation, I'll

142
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 2: go to a different restaurant.

143
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 5: Like I really rarely would ever wait someplace and stand

144
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 5: up an hour and thirty minutes to get a plate.

145
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 5: And then I realized I wasn't giving them a place

146
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 5: to sit down. You know, I just wasn't doing it right.

147
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 5: I was doing it from the heart, but I could

148
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 5: do it better. And so then I started running tables

149
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 5: and chairs and linens and I would make these little

150
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 5: menus and print it out and let people kind of

151
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 5: sit down and dine with dignity.

152
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 3: So that love that restaurant.

153
00:06:58,880 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, And then if.

154
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 5: We were on wait, you know, I'd like come back

155
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 5: in thirty minutes. And the thing is, everything was ready,

156
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 5: So the food came out really quickly. But it was

157
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 5: a five course meal to start with an appetizer, super salad,

158
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, soup and salad, then an entree, two side

159
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 5: items and desserts, And I mean people loved it like

160
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 5: I had to send you guys some pictures and videos.

161
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 5: It just was huge, and so the first one I

162
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 5: ever did went viral and rest wasty.

163
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 3: When I was reading a story, it was like kind

164
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 3: of a line because that's kind of what we were

165
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 3: doing in the summer with our kids. We would go

166
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 3: to my church because we had a homeless outreach, and

167
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 3: we would feed the homeless every Saturday. And it was

168
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 3: like the feeling of giving is just like incredible, and

169
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 3: like watching the kids be fulfilled by it made it

170
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 3: even better. And their thing was like, Yo, can we

171
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 3: do this again? Can we do this again? And when

172
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 3: you said that phrase done with dignity, it was like,

173
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 3: that's it because nobody in that room ever expects to be.

174
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 2: In that room exactly, you know.

175
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 5: And one of the things I liked to I used

176
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 5: to always do with Sunday Souls is I always had options,

177
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 5: you know, And I've had to check my mom because

178
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 5: they'll say things like, oh, you know, they're homeless, you

179
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 5: could feed them anything, and I would be like, no,

180
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 5: you know, your homelessness is just something that you're going through,

181
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 5: just like hunger is something you're going through. You're not

182
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 5: always going to be homeless. You're not always going to

183
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 5: be hungry, but you could lose your job. You know,

184
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 5: businesses could close. I mean, look what we're seeing happening

185
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 5: right now with coronavirus. And I always would have, you know,

186
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 5: a beef option, a pork option, a fish option. And

187
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 5: I mean people used to people have religious convictions, they

188
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 5: had dietary restrictions, and that level of just giving people dignity,

189
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 5: like what would you like? Not just here's a sandwich

190
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 5: that I made for you, but like what would you like?

191
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 5: And that is why I think. I mean people used

192
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 5: to come. I had a family, I'll never forget. There

193
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 5: was like six kids, they had a house, but they

194
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 5: would they used to have to sell their food stamps

195
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 5: to pay their rent, and they would get on the

196
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 5: marta and they knew I would to be out there,

197
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 5: and they would come and get food for the kids

198
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 5: and get like extra to go plates. Like that's how

199
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 5: busy and how popular it had got that families were

200
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 5: starting to come through. I mean maybe like a year

201
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 5: or two after that, like two chains ended up getting

202
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 5: them a house for the family to live in. So

203
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 5: just like that, you know, just to see how it

204
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 5: all kind of turned around, but they used to sell

205
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 5: their food stamps to pay their rent, get on the

206
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 5: bus with all their kids just to come down because

207
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 5: they had options for their kids.

208
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 3: There should never be a choice between food or bills

209
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 3: like that.

210
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 5: That's crazy and everybody that's that's what you said. I mean,

211
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 5: that's a critical choice that everybody makes going to pay

212
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 5: and then what we find as food always goes first

213
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 5: because people could say like, oh, I could go without food,

214
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 5: or what they do is the parents, the adult will

215
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 5: go without food.

216
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 2: And I've had tons of friends.

217
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 5: I mean, I think Jeezi even was talking about it

218
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 5: in an interview, like he used to see his mom

219
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 5: like split a cheeseburger between him and I think his

220
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 5: sister whoever his other sibling was And just like if

221
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 5: you guys think back to that, like I don't recall

222
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 5: being hungry, but you know, I'm pretty sure my parents,

223
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 5: our parents could have been hungry just to see us

224
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 5: have and I think that happens a lot.

225
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, we hit those stories over the time. It made

226
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 3: me think of the line like most when was it?

227
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 3: See them?

228
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 6: Said?

229
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 3: Most nice a sleep for dinner. Yeah you know what

230
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 3: I'm saying, that's great, you think of.

231
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 5: You know, meat meal talking about noodles and noodle kids.

232
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 5: I mean, that's many. I have a program right now

233
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 5: in Atlanta. If you guys are still here, y'all should

234
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 5: come out every weekend. I feed in this community. It's

235
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 5: called Forest COVID. It's probably one of the most destitute

236
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 5: communities I've ever seen. And you know, I've been doing

237
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 5: this work for over a decade. But a lot of

238
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 5: the buildings, roofs are off and everything else. And we'll

239
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 5: feed the kids and you know, they will will have

240
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 5: excess food for them to take home, and they just

241
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 5: always want the noodles. They always want, like you know,

242
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 5: we try and give them green beans and like mashed potatoes.

243
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 5: They don't ever like that. They don't like it because

244
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 5: it's just they haven't had it. So like we're out

245
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 5: there every single week really trying to push this on

246
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 5: them for them to have like healthy food and healthy access.

247
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 5: But so many kids go without, and for kids and

248
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 5: children of color, which is why it's super important for

249
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 5: me to be in this position and trying to do

250
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 5: what I'm doing with gooder. You know, people like us

251
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 5: have to solve the problems too long. You know, people

252
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 5: write the statistics they get all the money, they get

253
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 5: all the grants, and they're solving problems that they never

254
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 5: experienced before. Whereas I have friends, have family members that

255
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 5: have been hungry. I know, I mean, very few people

256
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 5: that don't look like me are gonna go into Forest Cove,

257
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 5: you know, a Section eight housing community where you know

258
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 5: there are drugs, there's crime, and really try and get

259
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 5: to those children.

260
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 2: But that's who gets all the money.

261
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 5: You know, that's I mean, billions and billions of dollars

262
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 5: is spent in grants. You know, at the start of COVID,

263
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 5: Jeff Bezos gave a hundred million dollars to Feed in America.

264
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 5: And it's not to say that feeding America you know,

265
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 5: doesn't serve a purpose, but they've been around since the seventies.

266
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,719
Speaker 2: They've gotten billions and billions of dollars.

267
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 5: Doing the same thing, you know, just get you know,

268
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 5: having food bangs, giving food to nonprofits, and it's always

269
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 5: just whatever is donated, and then they end up giving people,

270
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 5: you know, peanut butter, no jelly, spaghetti noodles, no spaghetti sauce.

271
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 5: And people can't make a meal from what it is

272
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 5: that they receive. And so what I've tried to do

273
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 5: with Gooder is actually get people meals or if nothing else,

274
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 5: if I'm giving them groceries, everything that they're getting in

275
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 5: that grocery bag is gonna make a meal. They're gonna

276
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 5: get a taco kit. They're gonna get you know, peanut

277
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 5: butter and jelly and bread like the things that they

278
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 5: would actually need. And it's it's a hard, you know,

279
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 5: curve to get around because unfortunately, I sometimes think people

280
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 5: want to pacify hunger rather than solve it, because if

281
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 5: you solve hunger, then there's no more hundred million dollar donations.

282
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 4: Let me ask you this because it was it was

283
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 4: interesting as far as like I said, I don't think

284
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,359
Speaker 4: people realize how much food is thrown.

285
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 6: Away Before I even ask that question.

286
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 4: I just want to make that point because it's like

287
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 4: in New York, Uh, there's two million rats.

288
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what, we're speaking of hunger. We'll get

289
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 3: into that withah. So here's how that comes about. City

290
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 3: Day that's in New York City. This came about we

291
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 3: would add an establishment, we'll leave the name anonymous. And

292
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 3: they were closing their doors and they were like, we're like, yo,

293
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 3: y'all closing I know you're going to throw the food away.

294
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 3: This is like before we knew that we were going

295
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 3: to do this, and he was like, yeah, we're going

296
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 3: to throw the food. He was like, yo, we'll just

297
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 3: buy some of you right now. And the conversation got

298
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 3: brought up like, yo, you know what's happening in the

299
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 3: city since the rest some rounds are closed, Like the

300
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 3: mice have nowhere to go, so they're just like doing

301
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 3: all that out in the streets. They're eating each other.

302
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 3: And so I came up with a number that was wrong.

303
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 3: I'm saying that on tapes that was wrong, and I

304
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 3: was like, yeah, what the city has this many rats?

305
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 3: So we looked it up and it was two million

306
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 3: rats in New York City.

307
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, because he said I actually have seen quater few

308
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 2: rats or not expected.

309
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 6: It was actually a bet.

310
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 2: Because there's sixteen million people in New York.

311
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 3: There's eight so there's almost nine million.

312
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 6: There's eight nine.

313
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 2: Million, so there's almost like.

314
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 6: For every of the population.

315
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 2: Okay, so for every rat, there's like four people.

316
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, so so yeah, it was it was a

317
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 4: wager that Troy. Troy told me that there was more

318
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 4: rats than people in New York. So I just found

319
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 4: that hard to believe, so we googled it and we

320
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 4: realized that it was two million.

321
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 6: But it's still a lot. That's a lot, So I

322
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 6: said to say.

323
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 3: That's more than the city of Boston.

324
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: That's crazy.

325
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 6: There's two million rats in New York.

326
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 4: So what's happening is that, you know, there's a lot

327
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 4: of restaurants in New York City obviously, so at the

328
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 4: end of the night, they throw they throw the food

329
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 4: in like you know, the trash.

330
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 6: They just throw them the alley ways and all that.

331
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 4: So what happened is that it's created a whole ecosystem

332
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 4: for rats to eat, Like they know what time the

333
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 4: food is gonna go, and they eat the food on

334
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 4: the streets. But once COVID hit, all the restaurants closed.

335
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 4: So now they had videos of rats actually turning to

336
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 4: cannibals and they was actually eating each other because there

337
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 4: was no food for them to eat, and it just

338
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 4: got so desperate, like they was starving to death. And

339
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 4: some of them actually like they showed, like there's a

340
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 4: videos online they actually eating each other.

341
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 2: Watch these tonight.

342
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 4: So I say that to say, I mean, you got

343
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 4: a whole, like, you know system that animals are actually something.

344
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 5: You know, I'd rather the food go to an animal,

345
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 5: even if it's a rat, right Gooder, We take our

346
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 5: number one thing is hunger first, right, so our goals

347
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 5: to get anything that's edible and give that to someone

348
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 5: that can actually eat it before it ever makes it

349
00:14:59,280 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 5: to landfill.

350
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 4: Not only did you turn this into an actual business,

351
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 4: and Eve enlighten me that it's not a nonprofit.

352
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 6: It's a b corp. Yeah all right, can you just

353
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 6: explain what a b corp is for people?

354
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, So B courp basically means for profit for good.

355
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 5: It's super hard to become a certified to be corporate.

356
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 5: It took us over a year and basically it just

357
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 5: they check everything so like who our vendors are kind

358
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 5: of making sure that we're an ethical company. So for me,

359
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 5: the reason why I turned this into and I have

360
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 5: years of experience in nonprofits. I've started hundreds of nonprofits

361
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 5: for some of the top celebrities, so it wasn't hard

362
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 5: for me to think I could just turn this into

363
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 5: a nonprofit. But why I chose to make it actually

364
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 5: a business is because the business is these restaurants. Whoever

365
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 5: they were already paying a waste management bill, So they

366
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 5: were already paying to throw the food away. So that

367
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 5: was very easy. It was a clear distinction for me

368
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 5: to understand. I don't caay, listen, they're paying somebody to

369
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 5: throw the food away. Then I went and I started

370
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 5: looking at the waste industry. It's a trillion trillion dollar industry.

371
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 5: And then nobody, ever, it never goes like all of

372
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 5: us have been playing. Our parents have been paying a

373
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 5: trash bill for forever. Every restaurant, every business plays a

374
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 5: trash bill. So my idea was we would essentially be

375
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 5: a food waste management company. We would focus on the

376
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 5: food waste and so we would help businesses come up

377
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 5: with better uses for their excess food and so you know,

378
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 5: they didn't have to throw it in landfill, they didn't

379
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 5: have to you know, let rats eat it. We could

380
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 5: help them, and so we started with edible food and

381
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 5: then we started composting.

382
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 2: We have hog farms.

383
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 5: We actually have worms that we feed food waste to

384
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 5: that produces fertilizer that makes the soil better, so as

385
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 5: we grow more fruit and vegetables, it's healthier for all

386
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 5: of us. And now we have a partnership with Southern

387
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 5: Power where we're actually taking food waste and we could

388
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 5: turn it into energy. We're trying to really get into

389
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 5: to that more so the idea is to keep it

390
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 5: out of landfill because food waste is the number one

391
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 5: so it's one of the leading causes number three cause

392
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 5: of global climate change.

393
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 3: I was just gonna get into that because that's one

394
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 3: of the things that you're stressed, is like, this is

395
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 3: not just a health issue. This is a social issues,

396
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 3: economic issue, and that's an environmental So when we would

397
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 3: and this is true, when you're talking about how kids

398
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 3: like one out of five go to bed hungry, how

399
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 3: that affects their learning, Yeah, didn't get into that little deal.

400
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think, you know, I always have to

401
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 5: as a black woman, I always have to say for

402
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 5: black and brown children. So this is you know, mostly

403
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 5: Hispanic even Native American as well, and black children, we

404
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 5: are like one in three, one and four. So it's

405
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 5: it's a lot worse. And so what happens is it's

406
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 5: it's this vicious cycle that never gets broken. And what

407
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 5: we think is, you know what, we give children free

408
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 5: breakfast and lunch at school. Now look at this, all

409
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 5: these schools are closed, and so thinking how many children

410
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 5: are like at home or at home during the summer

411
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 5: that were really dependent on free breakfasts and lunch at school.

412
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 5: That happens then we got to think that you know,

413
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 5: there are parents that are working, and so even when

414
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 5: these kids get home, sometimes they don't get a hot meal,

415
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 5: they have cereal for dinner, or you know, they have

416
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 5: cereal for all these meals now. And what ends up

417
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 5: happening is in twenty seven states in the United States,

418
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 5: they measure test scores of children in third, fifth, and

419
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 5: tenth grade. And you know, what they start to decide

420
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 5: is if those kids are gonna go to prison or not.

421
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 5: So it's really a school to prison pipeline. And so

422
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 5: they're like, oh, you know, Johnny's not reading well, he's

423
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 5: more likely to go to prison. We're gonna get another

424
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 5: prison bed for him. Or Susan is you know, not

425
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 5: doing well in math. But what they never look at

426
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 5: is hunger. Like you know, I always use the Snicker's

427
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 5: commercial like you're not yourself when you're hungry, and that

428
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 5: is so true because so many kids they've never been

429
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 5: their true selves and so you know, they are constantly hungry,

430
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 5: and so they're always playing ketchup. They get free breakfast

431
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 5: at school. Well, they didn't eat dinner last night, so

432
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 5: then the breakfast is replacing the dinner. Okay, the lunch

433
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 5: comes and replaces the breakfast, and so the kid is hungry.

434
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 5: You know, they're sitting in class and they're hungry. They're

435
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 5: wondering when their next mill is gonna come from. And

436
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 5: it's even worse for the older siblings. I know you

437
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 5: said you have children, right, so you know the older

438
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 5: kid always is looking out for the younger ones. So

439
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 5: now you're twelve and you've got like a five year

440
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 5: old and a seven year old little brother, and you're

441
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 5: wondering how you're gonna eat, how they're gonna eat. And

442
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 5: no teacher could teach through hunger. And so what we

443
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,239
Speaker 5: have is this vicious cycle of kids not eating, but

444
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 5: then people still expecting them to learn and sit in

445
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 5: class and be quiet and be still and just you know,

446
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 5: you're not yourself when you're hungry. And that's the biggest

447
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 5: thing is like we've got to get kids food. So

448
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 5: our program that I just launched, Neighborhood Eats, we do.

449
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 5: We serve lunch on Saturday's, a hot lunch on Saturday,

450
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 5: a hot meal to go. Then we give the kids

451
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 5: a snack pack that has like three meals and twelve

452
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 5: snacks and three drinks in it for Sunday, so even

453
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,239
Speaker 5: though we're not physically there on Sunday, they get this.

454
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 5: It has like last week's it had a chicken biscuit,

455
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 5: pop tarts, orange juice, a granola bar, and a gogurt.

456
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 2: So that was like their breakfast.

457
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 3: It sounds like my breakfast.

458
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

459
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 5: And then for lunch they had like a little cheeseburger

460
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 5: that they have the microwave chips, like cookies, goldfish, apple sauce.

461
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 5: And then for dinner, I think it was like a

462
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 5: you know, like a little chef boy r D cups

463
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 5: of like lasagna, and then it has you know, like

464
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 5: carrots and ran stressing, you know, fruit snacks, and then

465
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 5: we give them like one piece of candy just because

466
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 5: we want them to want the box and they'll really

467
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 5: take it for the candy too, And then we give

468
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 5: them a drinks so that kids will come out and

469
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 5: I mean, they love those snack packs. We almost have

470
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 5: to force them to eat the hot meal first, but

471
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 5: that's what they want because it's like stuff that they know,

472
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 5: but we are filling this gap for these kids where

473
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 5: maybe they would never get.

474
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 2: A meal on the weekend.

475
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, those little socioeconomic factors that most people in education,

476
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 3: especially like I wasn't working in the city for years,

477
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 3: People forget that part. They forget all the factors and

478
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 3: all the baggage that comes when the kids get to school.

479
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 3: But from a social standpoint, I know, you talk about

480
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 3: how hunger and the lack of food affects the crime rate.

481
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's she's I mean, it's it's like, you know,

482
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 5: one of the things I gave a whole ted talk

483
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 5: on this. You know so many people if you really

484
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 5: start remember I was watching there's a show on BT

485
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 5: and I think it's called Trap Queens, and I was

486
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 5: watching it those about these young women that were in jail,

487
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 5: and one of them she was saying, like, you guys,

488
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 5: you know, you don't know, you know, she was like

489
00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 5: the way I grew up.

490
00:20:58,800 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 2: She grew up in Tampa, Florida.

491
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 5: She was talking about her and her sisters them going

492
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 5: and stealing change out of wishing wells and trying to

493
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 5: put this money together just to go and get a

494
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 5: burger or whopper from Burger King. Like that level of

495
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 5: like people doing whatever they gotta do to eat. In

496
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 5: One of my good friends, Don Im from LA.

497
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 2: He's an older guy.

498
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 5: I think Don might he might almost be sixty now,

499
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 5: but he told me he was like Jazzmine. You know,

500
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 5: I used to have to snatch people's purses when I

501
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 5: was eight in Ohio just to eat, like that level

502
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 5: of just like I don't have like desperation. You know,

503
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 5: what do people do when when they're desperate? And that's

504
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 5: you know, going back to Beanie Sigull, he raft about that, right.

505
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 5: You know, pressure busts pipes people when you're desperation, you

506
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 5: want your kids to eat, and you want people to

507
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 5: have something. It's just like there's no telling what you're

508
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 5: gonna do. There's no telling what you're gonna do. So

509
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 5: it does, it does, you know so much. So there

510
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,479
Speaker 5: were so many crimes committed, So many people were stealing

511
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 5: food from Walmart that now Walmart has a rule that

512
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 5: I think if you steal less than twenty five dollars,

513
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 5: they just being you from this door.

514
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 2: They don't even call the cops.

515
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 5: But there was just so many people stilling meat and

516
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 5: just like it was happening so much. You know, you

517
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 5: give everybody those charges, it just becomes a lot of

518
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 5: charges and just you know, the police are coming out

519
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 5: all the time, so that hits a real, real crime.

520
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 2: But people get desperate.

521
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 5: You know, people a mom has twenty five dollars to

522
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 5: her name, she's got a kid, and she's got a baby,

523
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 5: you know what cost twenty five dollars infanmil And so

524
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:22,959
Speaker 5: it's like, gosh, can I get my kid infamil? And

525
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 5: can I feed my other kid who doesn't drink infanmil?

526
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 5: Like it's just so many crimes happen because of people

527
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 5: being hungry.

528
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 4: Let me ask you this on the business side, so

529
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 4: you talked about Bee Corp. But can you just explain

530
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 4: like what a becorp is for people, because you know,

531
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 4: you said, like you said, Basket and Robbins.

532
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 5: Jerry Minty, Jerry's Patagonia, Shaye Moisture is one. So really

533
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 5: it's just it's it's it's no different than a regular corporation.

534
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 5: So you know, you still pay taxes, but it just

535
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 5: means that you are certified that your business has ethical principles,

536
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 5: so you're not using child labor, you're getting your supplies

537
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 5: from the US like that kind of level of just

538
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 5: but it basically means for profit for good. So at

539
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 5: the end of it, and what it means, what B

540
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 5: means is benefit.

541
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 2: So you're like a public.

542
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 5: Benefit corporation, so that Gooder we operate for the benefit

543
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 5: of public goods.

544
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 2: So we're not just for ourselves.

545
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 5: If we get a customer and we get them to

546
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 5: give us our give us their foods, you know, we

547
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 5: give that food back to the community. So we're benefiting

548
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 5: the community.

549
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 6: In our But the tax structure, everything.

550
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 2: Is still tax structure is still the same.

551
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 5: So like and it's in B corps are only recognized,

552
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 5: I want to say, in like seven states. Delaware is

553
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 5: one of them. But Gooder is like a Delaware CEA corp.

554
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 5: And we're a foreign entity in Georgia, but we're.

555
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 2: A sea corp here as well, so we still pay

556
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 2: corporate taxes. Okay, but we are recognized as a certificate.

557
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 6: Are you incorporated in Delaware?

558
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 2: Yeah?

559
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 5: I incorporated in Delaware early on because I know tax

560
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 5: benefits and I knew I was going to be trying

561
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 5: to get investors, and so that's just kind of the

562
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 5: best way any I think anybody that's in venture capital

563
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 5: will tell you to incorporate in Delaware. I mean I

564
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 5: almost have heard people that were incorporated in other states

565
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 5: and then they went out to raise venture capital and

566
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 5: then they got incorporated in Delaware.

567
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 6: You're incorporated in Delaware. You have like a po box

568
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 6: out there.

569
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 5: I don't even have a bio box out there. Anybody

570
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 5: can incorporate in Delaware. Then I'm a foreign entity in Georgia.

571
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 5: I have an office out here.

572
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 4: So it's a for profit business. But how do you

573
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 4: make money if the restaurant's like giving you food? Can

574
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 4: you explain the business model?

575
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

576
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 5: So we charge a volume based feed for service on

577
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 5: our composting or our vanux recycling, as well as our

578
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 5: surplus food recovery. Remember they're already paying to throw the

579
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 5: food away, so they're already they're not paying us, they're

580
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 5: paying waste management, they're paying Republic Solid. So we charge

581
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 5: them based on how much food or recovering and how often,

582
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 5: and we have a sliding scale, so good or is

583
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 5: very asset light.

584
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 2: We don't own a lot of vehicles.

585
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 5: We literally have one vehicle, and all of Humor in

586
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 5: the nine States now we have one vehicle. But our

587
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,479
Speaker 5: partners are like Roady Omni Logistics, Postmates, so these are

588
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 5: our drivers. So depending on how much food is being

589
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 5: picked up, that determines the customer price. We've done a

590
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 5: lot of case studies, so like on a low end

591
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,360
Speaker 5: and pick up for good or could be fifty dollars.

592
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 2: On a high end, it could be a thousand.

593
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 6: So you're you're not targeting restaurants.

594
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 5: We target restaurants in a lot of locations. So we

595
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 5: want to target like this one restaurant on this street.

596
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 5: We like to target like an airport with one hundred restaurants.

597
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 4: A'm all with thirty restaurants because I was going to say,

598
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 4: like your regular Mom and pop, they just throwing food

599
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 4: in the garbage.

600
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, but you're talking about like a or We.

601
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 5: Like franchises too, Like we've been doing some pilots with

602
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 5: some pretty large franchises, and the goal is like all

603
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 5: of you know, Wendy's for example, says, you know what,

604
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 5: We're going to be zero waste. None of our stores

605
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 5: are throwing away food. We're going to be committed to

606
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 5: our communities across the country. And then now there's this

607
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 5: gooder service is available to all Windys owners.

608
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 4: And operators because it's like part of their franchise I

609
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 4: used to go to school in Hawaii, and what happens

610
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 4: with grocery stores and people don't know is that, you know,

611
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 4: when you have like an expiration date, you got to

612
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 4: throw the food away. But even before that expiration date,

613
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 4: when the expiration date doesn't always mean food is like

614
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 4: not eatable.

615
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 2: It's usually the cell by day.

616
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, but so long story short, they got to get

617
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 4: rid of that food. So, like where I lived, it

618
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 4: was like student housing, like like it was like apartments,

619
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 4: but it was like mostly students. So they used to

620
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 4: come like every Wednesday and they would just drop off

621
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 4: like all of the food that that was right, they

622
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 4: throw it away. They throw it away, they gave it

623
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 4: to it. So it was like bread, yogurt, milk, stuff

624
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 4: like that.

625
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 2: Did you gotta see Tiger king You want to see that?

626
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 2: You see it was so it.

627
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 6: Was I heard about it.

628
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 5: I watched You're one of the only people not to

629
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 5: watch Tiger Kings, but you saw you knew there was

630
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 5: a There was a one of the episodes.

631
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 2: They showed like how Walmart was bringing all the.

632
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 5: Food to them and his workers would go through the

633
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 5: food first and kind of like pick out the food

634
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 5: like that so much of the food is just like

635
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 5: you said, it's like it has a sell by date

636
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 5: on it. For example, the power goes out, they throw

637
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 5: everything out in the freezer and cool cooler section, like

638
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 5: everything like right away. So as soon as even if

639
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 5: the power goes out for like twenty minutes, now the

640
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 5: food is all that they have to clear the shells

641
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 5: and so it's not bad because you know it could

642
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 5: take you twenty minutes to get home from the grocery store.

643
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 5: So for us, we try and get the food fast.

644
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 5: This is why we use these logistics partners. So the

645
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 5: food gets picked up, say from this Walmart, and we

646
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 5: will have a network of nonprofits in any city that

647
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 5: we're at, thousands of nonprofits and we would match. We

648
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 5: built an algorithm that matches the donation with the closest

649
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 5: nonprofit and so the food would get delivered really fast.

650
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 5: So then if it can get to be frozen. And

651
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 5: a lot of times, especially with meat, you go to

652
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 5: any grocery store. Public's is notorious for it here in Atlanta,

653
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 5: but you go to any grocery store like around eight

654
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 5: o'clock and you'll see like these meat managers just filling

655
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 5: up these carts meat that they're gonna throw away, and

656
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 5: I get mad at that because you know, you guys,

657
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 5: our grandmothers would freeze anything right, freezer like I mean,

658
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 5: just freeze something forever. And a lot of times if

659
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 5: you look at the meat, it will say sell or

660
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 5: freeze by.

661
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 2: So when they throw it away, it makes no.

662
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 5: Sense because they could also freeze it and just give

663
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 5: it to a non profit the very next day, and

664
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 5: then it's like it's perfectly good food, but.

665
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 2: They throw it away.

666
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 5: All the rotisserie chickens, I feel like something like a

667
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 5: one point five million rotisserie chickens are wasted a week

668
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 5: in America. So you think of every grocery store you

669
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 5: go to, and they have all those chickens in the

670
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,959
Speaker 5: deli counter, like whatever is on that hot bar they

671
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 5: throw away every night, every grocery store, whatever's on the

672
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 5: hot bar. So publics, I'll use them again as an example.

673
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 5: Or you know, Krogers, all that stuff, the wings, the

674
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 5: fried chicken, whatever they make, all that gets thrown away.

675
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 5: The rotissery chickens, all that gets thrown away. And that

676
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 5: stuff upsets me because that's like somebody's meal right then

677
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 5: and there, so good or needs to be in more places.

678
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 5: The liability people always say like, oh, well, if they

679
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 5: donated and someone gets sick, you know, could they sue us.

680
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 5: In America, there's been a loss since nineteen ninety six

681
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 5: under President Bill Clinton called the Good Samaritan Act that

682
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 5: really protects businesses from liability with donating something in good face.

683
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 5: So businesses, that's not even an excuse anymy more. And

684
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 5: there's actually a lot of policy and stuff that's actually

685
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 5: coming in into play in states like New York, the

686
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 5: states like California, who you know, the carbon dioxide and

687
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 5: all the methane gas that's leading in the environment because

688
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 5: of so much food waste is becoming a problem. They

689
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 5: are actually making businesses have to find other ways to

690
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 5: divert their food waste.

691
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 6: Yes, that are just thrown out.

692
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,479
Speaker 3: So the Path Act I was going to get into that.

693
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 3: The Path Act is that part of that initiative.

694
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 2: Path Act is new that was under Obama. So that's

695
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 2: twenty twelve.

696
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 5: And so the Path Act actually gives these businesses enhance

697
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 5: incentives for donating the food, so they could write off

698
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 5: two times the cost. So if it costs them a dollar,

699
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 5: they could write off two dollars. If they donated, so

700
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 5: like the businesses could actually be essentially receiving money and

701
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 5: like forty billion dollars a year and tax credits just goes.

702
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 2: Wasted from these businesses.

703
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 5: So a lot of it is just educating them on

704
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 5: it and then you know, just getting past all like

705
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 5: the layers of like legal But other.

706
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 2: Countries are doing it and they're very successful.

707
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 5: And Denmark there's a whole grocery store called Food for

708
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 5: All where they get all this food from all these

709
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 5: grocery stores and then they just people can pay what

710
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 5: they can.

711
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 2: So it's illegal to waste food.

712
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 5: France, businesses could be fine to I want to say,

713
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 5: it's like ten thousand euro for each yourccurrence of wasting.

714
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 2: Food, which is a lot of money.

715
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 5: I think ten thousand euro is probably like twelve thousand here,

716
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 5: almost eleven thousand.

717
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 4: You know what's interesting too about Europe is that so

718
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 4: when you start to travel, you realize that America is

719
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 4: like different from other parts of the world where it's

720
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 4: like the portions are very small because even in the

721
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 4: sizes are small. Yeah, place sizes are small. Because I

722
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 4: was I remember I was. I was in La years

723
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 4: ago and I was in a conference and like a

724
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,959
Speaker 4: bunch of my colleagues. We all went out and I

725
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 4: was the only black person there.

726
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 3: This episode is brought to you by P and C Bank.

727
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,240

728
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 3: and sure they definitely can be, but understanding of professionals

729

730

731
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,920

732
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 3: decisions with your bank, but keeping your money boring is

733

00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 6: It was like a joke.

779
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 4: And I realized that it was like they looked, they

780
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 4: frowned on it if you ate everything on your plate,

781
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 4: like they would leave food on a play just to

782
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 4: show I'm not starving.

783
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 6: Like what I mean, it was like it was like

784
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 6: a thing.

785
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 4: So, but it's just crazy because it's like you got

786
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 4: the haves and have nots right, It's like people are

787
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 4: literally starving and then other people is literally purposely throwing

788
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 4: food away just to show.

789
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:20,280
Speaker 6: I'm not you know what I'm saying.

790
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 4: Like, so but that that's that's that's an American way,

791
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,240
Speaker 4: and it's like not even be able to get up.

792
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 5: You know, like they got to sit down and to

793
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 5: eat all your food like that level of nothing else.

794
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 4: That's crazy, yeah, because it's like that there's no such

795
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 4: thing as a big mac in Europe and they don't

796
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 4: have superside drinks.

797
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 6: So we ordered too much food and everything and everything everything.

798
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 4: It's way bigger, even like the portion like you're supposed

799
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 4: to eat like five times a day.

800
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 6: We'll eat like.

801
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 4: Two huge males a day that we can't eat. So

802
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 4: people really don't think about it. But not only is

803
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 4: it it's a shame because people are starving, but financially

804
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 4: it's like you're trying to run a restaurant or business.

805
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 4: How much money are you wasting by have and all

806
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 4: this excess food that you're just thrown away a lot.

807
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 5: And I think one of the things that we've been

808
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 5: able to prove so what we do is one of

809
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 5: the other kind of selling points for good or is

810
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 5: we kind of have a data analytics piece to everything.

811
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 2: That we recover, so most people don't know what they waste.

812
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 5: So one of our customers for weeks and weeks and

813
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 5: weeks they were their number one wasted that was pork.

814
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 2: And so this is a large corporate.

815
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 5: Campus here in Atlanta, you know, one of the largest

816
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 5: oldest companies here. And what we found is like people

817
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 5: had started to give up pork. You know, everybody around

818
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:31,839
Speaker 5: the New Year. It's like, oh, I'm not eating pork,

819
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 5: I'm not eating this, I'm vegan them this and so

820
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 5: without our tech, yeah right, but without our technology and

821
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 5: without our analytics, they would have never known that. So

822
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 5: it would have constantly been making pork every single day,

823
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,720
Speaker 5: having a pork option. And then half of their campus,

824
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 5: maybe seventy five percent of their campus.

825
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:47,320
Speaker 2: Didn't even need pork.

826
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 5: So that was something we were able to show them,

827
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 5: and they were able to reduce the amount of pork

828
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 5: that they prepared.

829
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 2: So a lot of it is just lack of knowledge.

830
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 2: People don't even know. They're just producing, producing, producing and

831
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 2: stuff people they don't even eat anymore.

832
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 3: So what did the idea the tech component of good?

833
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 3: Because I know you have to saying that tech technology

834
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 3: will solve hunger, I believe so yeah, yeah, So where

835
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 3: did the idea come from? Like was there a tech

836
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 3: background somewhere?

837
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 5: I'm not a technical founder at all. I mean other

838
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 5: than just using app you know, like I'm not.

839
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 3: I gave you the title tech inter dator.

840
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 2: I'll take it.

841
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 6: Let's use it.

842
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I was.

843
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,439
Speaker 5: I first became intrigued by the emergence of the food

844
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 5: delivery y app.

845
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,280
Speaker 2: So I was getting all those referral.

846
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 5: Codes and it was like, you know, get ten dollars

847
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,879
Speaker 5: off your first Uber eats meals or your postmaate meal

848
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,919
Speaker 5: or whatever. I was like, Wow, it would be really

849
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 5: cool if you know, I can make an app in

850
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 5: reverse that the restaurants and the businesses can use when

851
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 5: they have excess food, they can request to pick up.

852
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 5: I'll go get it picked up and I'll deliver it

853
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 5: to a nonprofit. So that was like the initial idea,

854
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 5: and then I just started really looking at everything else.

855
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 5: But technology was solving right, and I was like, God, like,

856
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 5: how couldn't why not you use technology to try and

857
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:56,720
Speaker 5: solve hunger?

858
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 2: Like what do we have to lose?

859
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 5: Not just you know where I started going, and I

860
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 5: will tell you for about the first you know year,

861
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 5: when I first had this idea, so many people are like, oh,

862
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 5: this is never gonna work.

863
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 2: I don't think it'll make money.

864
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 5: No one's gonna do that, And so I took that

865
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 5: in like that's a terrible thing to do. Right, Nobody

866
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 5: should ever listen to what someone else says about your

867
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 5: vision and your goal, right, because they're not on the

868
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 5: journey with you. But because I wasn't a technical founder

869
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,439
Speaker 5: and I was going and meeting with people that were,

870
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 5: you know, technical people, I allow them to tell me

871
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 5: that it wouldn't work. And now you know, five million

872
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 5: pounds later that we've kept out of landfills and all

873
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,240
Speaker 5: these meals that we've provided.

874
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 2: It does work.

875
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 4: So can you just explain exactly how this works? So

876
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 4: all right, Walmart has excess food, you have an app

877
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 4: that has a truck driver in East Atlanta. He picks

878
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 4: the food up from Walmart and then he delivers it

879
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 4: to the Salvation Army.

880
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 2: So something like that.

881
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 5: I mean, the main thing is we have all of

882
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 5: their inventory in our app. So when we on board

883
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 5: a customers choose Walmart, that we'd have all their skews

884
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 5: and so Walmart could literally like skew something out and

885
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 5: just tell it. You know, they could scan it with

886
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 5: a a sq gun and it would really calculate everything.

887
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 5: So then our platform inventory is everything it is that

888
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 5: they're saying they have to donate. We then assign a

889
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 5: value to everything it is, because of course we would

890
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 5: have this queue, which means we know what it is

891
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 5: and we know how much they retail for it, how

892
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 5: much it costs them, and then we typically have a

893
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 5: weight value assigned to it, and then they push requests pickup.

894
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,720
Speaker 5: A driver gets to several drivers essentially in the vicinity

895
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 5: would get the alert, very similar to like an Uber driver.

896
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 5: Someone accepts it, they go pick it up, and then

897
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 5: they would be Our app would tell them who to

898
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 5: take it to. Depending on how much food it is,

899
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 5: the app might tell them to take it to two

900
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 5: and three places along a certain route, and so then

901
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 5: the food gets dropped off. Every nonprofit that gets it

902
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 5: signs for it like they would a UPS package, and

903
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 5: then we have an agreement in place with the nonprofits

904
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 5: that sends the business back a donation letter. So once

905
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 5: they sign for it, it automatic like I'm picking up

906
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,240
Speaker 5: you know, I'm getting donated three.

907
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 2: Hundred chicken sandwiches and whatever.

908
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 5: Whatever they signed for a donation letter goes back into

909
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 5: let's say Walmart's dashboard, and then Walmart On the back end,

910
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 5: they can look up and see everything that's been donated,

911
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 5: what are the most wasted things that they're donating, what's

912
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 5: the tax value of everything they've donated, how many people

913
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 5: they've went to, you know who they're serving, the kind

914
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 5: of nonprofits. And then they're also able to see the

915
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 5: environmental statistics. So we tell them for every pound they

916
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 5: keep out a landfill, how many gallons of water that saves,

917
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 5: how many hours of labor that helped, how many cars

918
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 5: that could power, how much CO two emissions they've helped

919
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 5: to prevent from getting into the environment. So they could

920
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 5: also use that in like their sustainability reports. They want

921
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,240
Speaker 5: to say, like, you know, we're committed to zero wast.

922
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 3: So it looks like a two fold solution, right, you're

923
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 3: actually helping feed people, but you're also helping businesses run

924
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:52,720
Speaker 3: more efficient operations.

925
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 2: Definitely, that's one hundred percent.

926
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 5: So I like to call us a triple win, like

927
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 5: you know, a win win win, a triple bottom line.

928
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 5: We're helping the businesses people, which for me is priceless.

929
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 5: But I learned early on that wasn't for the businesses

930
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 5: to hear that. I had to be like the last thing.

931
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 5: I told them, Well, we help them save money and

932
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 5: be more efficient so they're not ordering things that they're

933
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 5: never selling anymore. And then we also help them be

934
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 5: more sustainable, so like we're really helping them improve their

935
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 5: carbon footprint, which is starting to become really important. Last year,

936
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 5: you guys will remember all those high school students. Remember

937
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 5: they were walking out and they were protesting climate change.

938
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 5: The young lady Greta, she was the Time magazine Person

939
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 5: of the Year, Like she let all these people on

940
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 5: this this big you know, do better on the environment

941
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 5: for our climate. And what's gonna happen is those high

942
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 5: school students become college students and they start working at

943
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 5: these companies, and these companies are going to have to start,

944
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 5: you know, doing better by the environment because we only

945
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 5: have one planet. And then when it's gone, it's gone.

946
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 5: I mean you see the waters joindling in a cape

947
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 5: town for example, South Africa, huge water problems. Just you know,

948
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 5: it's the environment is struggling right now. I mean, the

949
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 5: earth everything is right now. We're just not in a

950
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:06,399
Speaker 5: good place with everything, yea, but the environment is still bad. Yeah,

951
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 5: you know, it's it's you know, I and I probably

952
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 5: before starting Gooder was very unaware of just you know,

953
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 5: the environmental impacts of what food waste is doing to

954
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 5: this country and to this planet.

955
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 2: But it's a big it's a big issue.

956
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 4: Oh good So let me ask you this, what's the

957
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 4: profit margins?

958
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 2: It varies.

959
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 5: Typically a good profit margin for Gooder is anywhere from

960
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:31,879
Speaker 5: forty to forty nine percent for us. And so we've

961
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 5: started a grocery delivery service. So we're like now like

962
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 5: the free instacart if you will. And we just started

963
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 5: this once coronavirus happened. So we saw that, you know,

964
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 5: food delivery was really picking up, you know Instacars, Amazon

965
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 5: Prime Ship, you know, they're blown out of the water.

966
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,800
Speaker 5: But we realized that there was this large segment of

967
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 5: people who don't have credit cards, they're unbanked, they don't

968
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 5: have access to technology, mostly senior citizens, but they're afraid

969
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 5: to go to the grocery stores because you're telling them

970
00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 5: on the news they're the most at risk.

971
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 2: And so we thought, what if we win and got

972
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:02,879
Speaker 2: groceries for them?

973
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 5: And so now we started, you know, our businesses we're closing,

974
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 5: right so everybody the airport's, the convention centers, all of

975
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 5: our customers were no longer there. So I really thought,

976
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 5: like I got to make a pivot, Like I've got

977
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 5: to figure out how do we stay in business. And

978
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 5: so I started to think, We've got to get food

979
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 5: to people now.

980
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 2: And so now we sell directly to.

981
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:24,800
Speaker 5: Government cities, counties, school districts, and we sell a grocery.

982
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 2: Delivery service to seniors.

983
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 5: And so we're delivering right now upwards of like twenty

984
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 5: five hundred seniors a week just in Atlanta, and we

985
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 5: charged the city or a county, and we charged them

986
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 5: per senior per delivery, and built into that we call

987
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 5: it a cost plus model. And so we have the

988
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,320
Speaker 5: cost of groceries, the cost of supplies, the cost of delivery,

989
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 5: and then the plus is essentially a profit margin that

990
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:49,359
Speaker 5: keeps us operating. And it's been really a successful thing,

991
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,280
Speaker 5: and we've we've really gotten a lot of that business

992
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 5: via government contracts, and you know, I just really want

993
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 5: to tell people that I think that that's the way

994
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 5: to go. I just tweeted that, you know, yesterday, because

995
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 5: we got another contract for over a million dollars with

996
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 5: a whole other city, and so.

997
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 2: Many people were like, oh, government contracts.

998
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,839
Speaker 5: They take forever you know, it's all this red tape

999
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 5: and stuff, but there's not enough people that look like

1000
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,399
Speaker 5: neither are getting these bids and actually executing on them

1001
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 5: and like doing what they say they're going to do.

1002
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 5: And because we back everything in technology, now we have data.

1003
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 5: So we've built a new app that every you know,

1004
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 5: every morning a driver comes in, we pay everybody that

1005
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 5: works with us, even on the low end fifteen dollars

1006
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 5: an hours, where we start them at because I never

1007
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 5: want anybody to.

1008
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 2: Need food, you know, working for me. I think that

1009
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:32,919
Speaker 2: would be the worst thing ever.

1010
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 5: So everyone starts at fifteen dollars an hour and then

1011
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 5: we take them up from there. They come in, they

1012
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 5: get a list of everybody that they're delivering too, and

1013
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 5: it routes them along like an efficient delivery route, so

1014
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 5: an Amazon Prime delivery or like a postmaate. And then

1015
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,280
Speaker 5: once they deliver, they are required to take a picture

1016
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 5: of the senior that proves that the senior got their food,

1017
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 5: and they can add any notes about the senior in there.

1018
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:56,720
Speaker 2: And now we're.

1019
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 5: Able to create these really compelling reports with heat maps

1020
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 5: for any of like all the seniors where they lived at,

1021
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 5: pictures the food that they receive. We know their dietary restrictions,

1022
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,839
Speaker 5: and so it's been really crazy. So we've built quite

1023
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 5: a few businesses under one umbrella that are all profitable.

1024
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 3: Sore, like how many states is Good are running.

1025
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 5: In right now for our grocery delivery program, just Georgia

1026
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 5: for our traditional surplus food recovery and organics recycling now

1027
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 5: ten we just launched monday in New Jersey and in

1028
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 5: Philadelphia with pharmaceutical company.

1029
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 3: That's powerful.

1030
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:37,839
Speaker 4: So a couple of questions the government contracts, MWBE, are

1031
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 4: you taking advantage of that?

1032
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're NB, we're WBE, we're dB, and we're ac dB.

1033
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:48,319
Speaker 5: So we're Airport Concessions dB, Disadvantage Business, Minority business, and

1034
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 5: we're women business enterprise. So we took advantage of a

1035
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:51,399
Speaker 5: lot of them.

1036
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got to do that.

1037
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 5: I think that's the other thing people don't do. It

1038
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 5: takes time, just like it took time to become a

1039
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 5: b court. But all these businesses like this billion dollar pledge,

1040
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:03,839
Speaker 5: we're going to spend more money with women, and we're

1041
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 5: going to spend more money with people of color. It's

1042
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 5: the same people that always get those contracts, and so

1043
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 5: that's why you have like the act Ones and I

1044
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,399
Speaker 5: love I love Janets. Her story is amazing, right, she's

1045
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 5: a billion dollar entrepreneurship. Act one is a billion dollar company.

1046
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 5: But it's because she learned how to really become a

1047
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 5: supplier to some really big corporations.

1048
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 2: And that's what you've got to do.

1049
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 5: You've got to play the long game, and it is

1050
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,280
Speaker 5: to get in with the governments, get in with the corporations,

1051
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,479
Speaker 5: and become a benefit to them as you benefit others.

1052
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 6: You how did you get in? For anybody that's not familiar.

1053
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 4: And we actually did an episode about this, but this

1054
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 4: is programs that corporations and government agencies have for minority businesses,

1055
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 4: women businesses, disadvantaged businesses, stuff like that, Like they have

1056
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 4: to have a certain amount of their budget set aside

1057
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 4: for that. So but it's kind of broad ranging because

1058
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,320
Speaker 4: it's like, who's not a minority?

1059
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,240
Speaker 6: Everybody is at this point, even like white women.

1060
00:45:57,520 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 2: Like there was even fifty.

1061
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 5: You know the SUA, which is the one I'm doing

1062
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 5: right now, a small business enterprise. Anybody can qualify for that,

1063
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 5: no matter what color you are, as long as your

1064
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 5: business doesn't make more than fifty million a year.

1065
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 2: I'm hoping I.

1066
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 5: Won't be able to qualify so much longer, but for

1067
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 5: right now, I'm trying to qualify for that, and that is,

1068
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 5: you know, doing business as with a small business. So

1069
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,359
Speaker 5: every single city that I've actually done business and has

1070
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 5: some kind of an office, so it could be like

1071
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 5: NMSDC is who we got our certification through.

1072
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 2: There's also a lot of consultants that.

1073
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 5: Will do the applications for you, and a lot of

1074
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 5: times it's just gathering a lot of documents, so who

1075
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 5: are all the owners? Like for me, I had to

1076
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 5: prove my you know, my taxes. I had to you know,

1077
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 5: show all my properties. You know, you just have to

1078
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 5: show anything that you have, and like your ownershipping, you

1079
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 5: basically can't be like a billionaire to get these certifications.

1080
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 5: And then you always have to show that you own

1081
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 5: fifty one percent of the company, So fifty one percent

1082
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,800
Speaker 5: of the company is woman owned or it's minority owned,

1083
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 5: disadvantage things of that nature.

1084
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 2: But it's just really what it is.

1085
00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 5: It's just doing the applications and submitting the paperwork, which

1086
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,840
Speaker 5: which is so much of the easy stuff that nobody

1087
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 5: ever does because you know, if it's gonna take you

1088
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 5: a week to do it. It seems like it's a

1089
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 5: long time. And think of how many papers we did

1090
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 5: and reports we did. This is no different. You just

1091
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,799
Speaker 5: have to literally fill it out and apply for it.

1092
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 5: And then how you start to use them is you

1093
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 5: start to connect with supplier diversity or procurement people from

1094
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,760
Speaker 5: different corporations and cities, and you go to the meetings

1095
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 5: and you know they have a Chick fil A is

1096
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 5: having a supplier diversity mixer, and you go and you

1097
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 5: gotta start networking. You gotta meet people, and you gotta

1098
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:32,959
Speaker 5: say this is what my business does, and this.

1099
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 2: Is what I'd like to do with Chick fil A

1100
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:35,720
Speaker 2: or your company.

1101
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 5: And know that relationships matter and sometimes it doesn't happen overnight.

1102
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 5: Some of our I mean, we've been an NBE now

1103
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,839
Speaker 5: for three years and we're just now like this. This

1104
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 5: new deal I just got with the pharmaceutical company is

1105
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 5: probably one of the first ones where I've been able

1106
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,360
Speaker 5: to really say, hey, I'm also an MBE. But I

1107
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 5: don't think that that's what initially got me in the door.

1108
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:58,240
Speaker 5: But what it was is I met them through a

1109
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 5: women's business enterprise car and so they were there and

1110
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 5: it just happened to be an added plus and I

1111
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 5: had a service that I felt like that they cause.

1112
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 3: So one of your partnerships with the NFL, and that

1113
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 3: was interesting. And when you look on own surfaces like

1114
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 3: food NFL, how does this work? How do we force

1115
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 3: that relationship and how does it work?

1116
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, so the NFL has an NFL Green, which you know,

1117
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 5: again everybody wants to be green.

1118
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 2: Everyone.

1119
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 5: The NBA has an NBA Green. So the Super Bowl

1120
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:31,319
Speaker 5: was coming to Atlanta. I again registered to be a

1121
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 5: minority supplier for a Super Bowl, and sustainability was one

1122
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 5: of their initiatives. And so luckily one of my customers

1123
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 5: at the time was the Convention Center where a ton

1124
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 5: of events were taking place with the NFL. And so

1125
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 5: even though I wasn't in business for three years, I

1126
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,280
Speaker 5: was very unique and that I was the only supplier

1127
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 5: that was doing this, and so that's how I was

1128
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,320
Speaker 5: able to kind of get in a little.

1129
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 2: Bit ahead of the game.

1130
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 5: And yeah, I mean the thing is, everybody thinks, oh,

1131
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:57,240
Speaker 5: we're not a food business.

1132
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 7: Right.

1133
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 5: Some of our big company customers are tech companies, and

1134
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 5: I've had them say, oh, you know, we're a tech business,

1135
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 5: We're not a food business. But I'll say, well, you

1136
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 5: have one hundred thousand employees, you got all these cafeterias

1137
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:09,359
Speaker 5: at all your campuses, and you feed people every day,

1138
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,320
Speaker 5: like you in essence have a food business within your business.

1139
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 2: And so the NFL has a ton of food, so

1140
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 2: much food till this day.

1141
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 5: I think the Super Bowl customer within the NFL was

1142
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 5: probably one of our largest recoveries ever. Like we had

1143
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:26,959
Speaker 5: two tractor trailers full of food, so just tons of food,

1144
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 5: and we recovered all the excess food from Super Bowl.

1145
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 3: Yes, so then now it makes sense. I saw Netflix

1146
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 3: was a partner, but like, yeah, if they have these campuses,

1147
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 3: they have these offices with all these employees.

1148
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 5: Like Ozark is one of our customers, So we do

1149
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 5: all the Ozark film sets, the films in Atlanta. We're

1150
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 5: trying to get tired of Perry Studio. So if anybody

1151
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 5: knows Tyler Perry, tell them to call us.

1152
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 3: Tyler are watching.

1153
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 5: We're trying to get all these film sets because they feed.

1154
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 5: And the greatest thing about why these kind of customers

1155
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,840
Speaker 5: matter is because the kind of food we get people

1156
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 5: that are hungry, and.

1157
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 2: That's that's the greatest joy of it.

1158
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 5: I always laugh when the when I first started, I

1159
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:05,399
Speaker 5: had rescued rescued from my turn TNT and I took

1160
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 5: to one of the shelters and I just wanted to

1161
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 5: see their process. And this guy was like, oh, y'all

1162
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 5: trying to kill me today, and I was like, sir,

1163
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 5: it's just asparagus, Like he had never had asparagus. The

1164
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:16,399
Speaker 5: idea of like giving somebody food that's gonna come from

1165
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:19,359
Speaker 5: the higher, higher, upper echelons and get down to someone

1166
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 5: who's been food and secured their whole lives. And I

1167
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 5: mean when we were doing the NFM and we had

1168
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 5: lamb chops, filelets, I mean, it's so much stuff. And

1169
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 5: we had a chef at the Veterans Administration here in

1170
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:33,879
Speaker 5: the Veterans Empowerment Organization and we had from Radio Row

1171
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 5: NFL all these like fileets that were never even used,

1172
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 5: like just in boxes, still sealed, vacuum sealed. We got

1173
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 5: him over to the chef. He starts crying because he's like, man,

1174
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 5: I've been one. I wanted to do a steak dinner

1175
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 5: for them for Valentine's Day and here we come with

1176
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 5: two hundred, you know, twelve ounce filet mayons, and you

1177
00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:52,840
Speaker 5: know that level.

1178
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 2: Of just like that's why I'm matters.

1179
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 5: That's where we got to get food from the film

1180
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 5: sets because the stuff that they're feeding the actors is

1181
00:50:58,680 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 5: really good.

1182
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:01,280
Speaker 2: And why should they just this perfectly.

1183
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,840
Speaker 5: Good food away when in the same city somebody that

1184
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:06,439
Speaker 5: doesn't have a million dollars, that's not making a million

1185
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 5: dollars an episode, it's hungry.

1186
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was just gonna ask you that actually is

1187
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:13,799
Speaker 4: perfect leading because especially when it comes to kids, and

1188
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 4: it's noble to feed people that's hungry. You know, they

1189
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 4: got to eat. As DMX one said, you starve and

1190
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 4: you eat whatever is there, like you literally you'll eat anything, right,

1191
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 4: But we also want to be health conscious and we

1192
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 4: don't want to just feed people anything, right, So does

1193
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:33,400
Speaker 4: that come apart into your business model as far as, like,

1194
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 4: like I said, especially in kids, like childhood of BC

1195
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:38,959
Speaker 4: is a big thing and like GMOs and processed foods

1196
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 4: and stuff like that, So how does that play a

1197
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 4: part as far as like deciding which.

1198
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 6: Food, what food goes to who?

1199
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:50,319
Speaker 4: And like all right, we're trying to do like more

1200
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 4: of a healthy option or if that's.

1201
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:54,359
Speaker 2: Serently just like a ticker system. So what we will

1202
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 2: do is it.

1203
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 5: Like so Papa John's, for example, is one of our customers.

1204
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 5: We will never give the same or organization Papa John's

1205
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 5: every day.

1206
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 2: Of the week, so we would know like, hey, they got.

1207
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 5: Papa John's today, they could get sweet Green tomorrow, they

1208
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 5: could get So we try and give them more like

1209
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 5: a well rounded I'm balanced. But then a lot of

1210
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 5: it is just us trying to get prepared meals. So

1211
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 5: like the airport still is one of our largest customers,

1212
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 5: but think we would get the food. A lot of

1213
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 5: people don't know this, but stuff in the airport only

1214
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 5: lives for twelve hours, only lives for a day. So

1215
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 5: all the prepackaged sandwich, salads, fruit cups, all that stuff

1216
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 5: is just good for a day, even though it could

1217
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 5: be made that morning, it's only good for a day.

1218
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 5: So when we would get that to shelters and to

1219
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 5: children and families, I mean it's really good food.

1220
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 2: So it's different.

1221
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 5: Salads and I mean we turn people on to like

1222
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:41,839
Speaker 5: foe and kill. I mean so many things that people

1223
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 5: had just never had before we were able to introduce

1224
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:45,799
Speaker 5: them to. So I think a lot of it is

1225
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 5: we don't really try and go after like McDonald's like,

1226
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 5: for example, that's not a customer, that's like on my

1227
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:52,360
Speaker 5: high priority.

1228
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 2: I want to get McDonald's and get all.

1229
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 5: Their excess food. I'd love to get Whole Foods. They

1230
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 5: throw away their hot bar every single four hours. Everything

1231
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 5: that's on the high every four hours they throw it away.

1232
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 5: Well they say they compost it, but I've talked to

1233
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 5: employees they say they throw it away, so they you know,

1234
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:08,799
Speaker 5: every four hours that goes to waste. And I just

1235
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:10,839
Speaker 5: keep on thinking, like if we could come in three

1236
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 5: hours and thirty minutes, you can come in three hours

1237
00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 5: and forty two minutes. I could get it to a

1238
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:18,839
Speaker 5: nonprofit that's super close, like you know, or even they

1239
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 5: have the ability to if Whole Foods wanted to, they

1240
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 5: could take it off the bar, they could blast freeze it.

1241
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 5: They could freeze it and then I can come and

1242
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 5: get it like the next day.

1243
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:28,439
Speaker 2: But they just throw it away.

1244
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 3: That was what I was thinking in my head, Like

1245
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:31,719
Speaker 3: the logistics of it. Is there specific time that you

1246
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 3: send the cars to go out and pick up or.

1247
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 5: Is it just a request as soon as they request

1248
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 5: it on the app. As soon as they request to

1249
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:37,919
Speaker 5: pick up.

1250
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 2: We go out.

1251
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 3: So is that is it app free, and like, where

1252
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 3: is it for the customers?

1253
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 5: So it's you know, it's not because remember we inventory

1254
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 5: everything it is that they sell, so we can give

1255
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 5: them the data on it. So yeah, it's in the

1256
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 5: app store, but you have to have you have to

1257
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 5: have like a log in from us to kind of

1258
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:57,840
Speaker 5: get it. So we haven't made it to where just

1259
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 5: anybody can use it yet because it just becomes tricky.

1260
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:03,280
Speaker 5: People can start trying to have us pick up stuff

1261
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 5: from their house. We have to really make sure that

1262
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:08,360
Speaker 5: it's like a commercial kitchen, that it's clean, you know,

1263
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 5: that kind of stuff. All that stuff matters. So we

1264
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 5: haven't made it open to every restaurant to use it.

1265
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 5: What I'd love to have is like a city says, hey,

1266
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 5: I want to end food wasted in my city. I

1267
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 5: want to make your app available to every permitted food

1268
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 5: service business in the city and then that way we

1269
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 5: just turn it on to everybody in the city to

1270
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 5: be able to use it.

1271
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 2: So that's like a long term goal.

1272
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:30,880
Speaker 5: I'm just looking for a city to say, like, we

1273
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 5: don't want people in our city to go hungry. Ye'd

1274
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 5: be like, you know, every mayor should that should be

1275
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 5: something that.

1276
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 3: They stand on I feel like, yeah, like we went

1277
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 3: to Los Angeles a few weeks back and the homeless

1278
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 3: population is huge, Yeah, huge, And it was like this

1279
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 3: year it's.

1280
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:48,880
Speaker 5: Even I hear come September, it's going to be a

1281
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 5: lot of worse. They're saying now maybe towards December, but

1282
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 5: there's still so many people that are like on the

1283
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 5: verge of eviction.

1284
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 2: You see the viral story of the lady.

1285
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 5: I mean, I think here is like almost like one

1286
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,879
Speaker 5: hundred thousand dollars, but she was like homeless for her

1287
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 5: two kids in the car in California because she was

1288
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 5: evicted recently.

1289
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just thinking, like good, that just sounds like

1290
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:07,960
Speaker 3: a brilliant idea like a city should be adopting us.

1291
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, we definitely are doing a lot of We just

1292
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 5: did a really big partnership with the Lakers and UCLA

1293
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 5: Health where we had one of our grocery stores. We

1294
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:18,439
Speaker 5: have two pop up grocery stores at the Poor Shakespeariance

1295
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 5: Center coming up later in September in LA and we're

1296
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 5: trying to get out there too, Like we're trying. We're

1297
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 5: really having some good conversations. We were meeting with the

1298
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 5: film the film you know studios and then so much

1299
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:30,800
Speaker 5: just happened?

1300
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:35,760
Speaker 2: Twenty just did how did well?

1301
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:40,200
Speaker 4: Two questions? What's the overhead? Because like, yeah, what's the overhead?

1302
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 2: I mean it all depends.

1303
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:43,040
Speaker 5: I mean right now, we spend you know, with all

1304
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 5: of our staff logistics, we maybe spend one hundred thousand

1305
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 5: a month.

1306
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:48,399
Speaker 6: So like, but like what do you have to spend

1307
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 6: money on drivers?

1308
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:51,319
Speaker 2: Drivers, food supplies?

1309
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 5: You know now with our grocery program, we spend a

1310
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 5: lot of a ton of money on food, a ton

1311
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 5: of money on supplies, staff members. You know, we really

1312
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:00,799
Speaker 5: like Gooder has a at our office. But you guys

00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:06,800
Speaker 5: every Monday, wind down Wednesday.

1316
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 6: I mean employees.

1317
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 2: Do you have full time? We have ten and then

1318
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:12,719
Speaker 2: like our part time we have about sixty like the

1319
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:15,720
Speaker 2: drivers and stuff drivers people are working out for films.

1320
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 6: Like contractors employees.

1321
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:18,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay.

1322
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 4: And the second question that I have is how though

1323
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:23,360
Speaker 4: you talked about COVID a little bit, but like obviously

1324
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 4: everything has changed now, like even movies, everything is changed

1325
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:31,400
Speaker 4: with COVID, So it's affecting businesses. I'm sure it's affects

1326
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:34,839
Speaker 4: your business. How has it affected your business? And how

1327
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 4: do you see because I personally don't think that we're

1328
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:41,359
Speaker 4: not going back to normal maybe never, definitely not anytime soon.

1329
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 6: So how are you.

1330
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:46,840
Speaker 4: Planning going forward dealing in this new age of social

1331
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:51,319
Speaker 4: distancing and restaurants being closed and short hours and stuff.

1332
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 2: Like that reduce capacity.

1333
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 5: I mean we are, We're duly focused, right, So we're

1334
00:56:56,520 --> 00:57:00,359
Speaker 5: still selling kind of our traditional services more so thank Okay,

1335
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:03,239
Speaker 5: maybe it's going to be more organic recycling now, but

1336
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:05,399
Speaker 5: we're still talking to customers. I mean, I'm still having

1337
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 5: sales meetings every single week about traditional gooder. But on

1338
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 5: the flip side, I'm really looking at this good or

1339
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 5: grocery program because we're helping a lot of seniors. I mean,

1340
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:17,479
Speaker 5: we're changing lives, you know, to people to get free

1341
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:18,680
Speaker 5: groceries delivered to them.

1342
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 2: That's the thing that nobody talks about. Right.

1343
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 5: We can be afore, we could be fortunate enough to

1344
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 5: have Instacart or Shift or Amazon Prime, but there are

1345
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:28,680
Speaker 5: hundreds of millions of people who do not have the

1346
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:30,880
Speaker 5: ability to do that. One hundred and sixty one million

1347
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 5: people have had grocery delivery, right now in the United States,

1348
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 5: one hundred and forty four million have not and that

1349
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 5: doesn't mean that they don't need it, they just don't

1350
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 5: have access to get food. So we really think that

1351
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:43,480
Speaker 5: this is kind of going to be the new horizon

1352
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 5: for us.

1353
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 2: For everybody who whom for.

1354
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 5: There is in an Amazon Primer, Instacart, there could be

1355
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 5: a gooder. And so that's something that we're gonna think

1356
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 5: of because reality is, no matter how much the world changes,

1357
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 5: people are still going to have to eat. And that's

1358
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 5: why food delivery is like on the rise. Quick service

1359
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 5: restaurants are seeing numbers like the Papa John's and the

1360
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 5: pizza huts, like you go in and you grab something

1361
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 5: really quick. If you look at those numbers, they're they're

1362
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 5: going up, like it's just going up immensely. But there's

1363
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 5: still so many people who are going without. And so

1364
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 5: we have got to really just you know, pivot our

1365
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 5: business model to make sure people still get access to

1366
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:18,320
Speaker 5: food because that's never going to change. Like I don't think,

1367
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 5: you know, if we all stop eating.

1368
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 2: We're gonna just be gone.

1369
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:25,480
Speaker 4: You gotta eat everybody, everybody, everybody got to eat.

1370
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 2: But I have a children's book.

1371
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:30,040
Speaker 3: Called everybody what I was doing, that everybody eats. I mean,

1372
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 3: that's that's fitting. That's a model, and that's your model too,

1373
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:35,320
Speaker 3: that everybody eats. We all family.

1374
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 2: Yes, that's it.

1375
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 5: That's the whole The whole idea is to teach kids,

1376
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 5: you know, that everybody needs to eat and everybody should eat.

1377
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 5: But the reality is so many people don't eat.

1378
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 3: As you're a blessing.

1379
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:46,160
Speaker 2: Well, this is so dope.

1380
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 4: So I mean, yeah, that's that's it's it's really dope,

1381
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 4: and it's really encouraging. Like you said, I mean I

1382
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 4: think that it's dope. How you can make it a

1383
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:57,720
Speaker 4: business because that's our whole show is about business. Never

1384
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 4: apologize to making a profit, but you can they'll do

1385
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 4: good at the same time. Absolutely for profit for good

1386
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 4: because a lot of times, especially you know, there's been

1387
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:07,880
Speaker 4: a lot of talk on like black Twitter and stuff

1388
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 4: like that that like capitalism is bad, and I think

1389
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 4: anything can be bad, anything can be good. But business,

1390
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 4: I think is the answer to a lot of problems,

1391
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:22,160
Speaker 4: not the government, like economics exactly.

1392
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:23,960
Speaker 5: I mean, think of all the people. You know, I

1393
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 5: carry a lot of weight on my shoulders, but it's

1394
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:27,960
Speaker 5: a positive weight. But I think about you know, hey,

1395
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 5: I've got almost seventy employees. I'm marching towards one hundred.

1396
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:33,280
Speaker 5: I'm about to hire more people next week, like who

1397
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 5: are dependent on us to do good and us to

1398
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 5: operate and you know, and I want to pay them

1399
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:39,880
Speaker 5: well and I want them to you know, have an

1400
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 5: investment and a piece of good or I want them

1401
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 5: to have an ownership and what we're building.

1402
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 2: And so you know, you can do good and you

1403
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 2: can do well.

1404
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:50,480
Speaker 5: And why not, right because I could be a Zuckerberg

1405
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:53,240
Speaker 5: and just be having people like and share stuff on Facebook,

1406
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 5: But what does that really do for the betterment of

1407
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 5: the world. And so if anybody is going to make

1408
00:59:57,960 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 5: money doing it, it should be us. And if you

1409
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 5: look at you know, all the like nonprofits is a

1410
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:05,120
Speaker 5: huge business. Like you know, look at Red Cross, right,

1411
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 5: how much billions of dollars do they bring in? And

1412
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:09,760
Speaker 5: then when you go and you start to unpeel the layers,

1413
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 5: like ninety percent of it will go to administration and

1414
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 5: ten percent will go to the actual cause.

1415
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 2: Look what happened with Haiti.

1416
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 5: I think they got they raised like eight billion dollars

1417
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 5: and built like one hundred houses, and so you know,

1418
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 5: I'm like trying.

1419
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 2: To change that narrative.

1420
01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:26,160
Speaker 5: Like I believe cities and governments and foundations should give

1421
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:28,439
Speaker 5: us the money to solve their problems because we really

1422
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 5: prove that we do it. And then yeah, we have

1423
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:32,520
Speaker 5: a profit, we have a business that's we're trying to

1424
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 5: keep an operation. But if I one day am out

1425
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:38,960
Speaker 5: of business because everybody's eaten, then I'll be okay with that,

1426
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 5: you know, Like that's fine for me. Whereas most other

1427
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 5: you know, organizations, they don't want to do that because

1428
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 5: they need people to be hungry for forever. So we

1429
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 5: could keep donating to them at the grocery store register

1430
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 5: when they'd be like, hey, do you want to donate

1431
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:52,640
Speaker 5: you know, ten dollars and write your name on this

1432
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:55,520
Speaker 5: piece of you know paper, Like a lot of people

1433
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:57,360
Speaker 5: want these problems to.

1434
01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 2: Be in existence so that they can exist. I really

1435
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 2: want to figure out how can I solve it so

1436
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 2: that I could go solve the next problem.

1437
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:06,640
Speaker 3: You have it a blessing.

1438
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 6: You have it, ladies and gentlemen. It's been a pleasure.

1439
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 3: There's a reason she's the number one tech innovator in

1440
01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 3: the city of Atlanta. There's a reason, y'all just heard it.

1441
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 6: I appreciate you coming on.

1442
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:21,040
Speaker 5: I appreciate you guys having me out, and you know,

1443
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:24,640
Speaker 5: I just want to say, let your passion, you know,

1444
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:26,480
Speaker 5: kind of have a profit for you.

1445
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:28,240
Speaker 2: And I think, I really think that's what I did.

1446
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 5: You know, I was cooking for people out of my

1447
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:34,120
Speaker 5: kitchen and one bedroom apartment Southwest Atlanta, you know, loading

1448
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 5: up my car, having my friends come over loading up

1449
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 5: their car, and I figured out a way to make

1450
01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 5: money by doing something that's helping other people. And so

1451
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:46,040
Speaker 5: I just encourage anybody to do that because there's you

1452
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 5: have nothing to lose, like if good or clothes tomorrow,

1453
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 5: God forbid, I'll still be able at the end of

1454
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:52,960
Speaker 5: my life to stand before God and say, you know what,

1455
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:55,840
Speaker 5: people were hungry and I fed them. And that's something

1456
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 5: that in a lot of things that you do, you know,

1457
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:00,120
Speaker 5: you won't be able to say, yeah, I mean a

1458
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 5: profit doing it.

1459
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:02,720
