John Mackey is the founder and CEO of Whole Foods Market. He helped fuel the rise of organic and natural food in the United States and also popularized the idea of “Conscious Capitalism.” John is a best selling author and recently came out with a companion to the, The Whole Foods Diet, called the Whole Foods Cookbook. In this in-depth conversation, John and I touch on: - Why the Whole Foods Cookbook is different than your typical collection of recipes.
- His philosophy of eating a primarily whole food, plant-based diet along with the compelling science that backs it up.
- His thoughts on the food system and given his perspective as the CEO of a billion dollar food company.
- How consumers can use their buying power to create change.
- His take on the future of our food system and he offers some incredibly promising and positive advice for young entrepreneurs.
It’s not every day that you get to hear from one of the most successful people in the food business and I can say with absolute certainty that you will walk away from this conversation with candid, and invaluable advice that’s sure to inform your journey as a consumer, entrepreneur, or simply someone who wants to have a positive impact on the world.
