In this episode…
Equitable food companies are businesses committed to providing healthy, affordable food to everyone regardless of income or social status. In this economic climate, how can food companies produce safe and edible products and earn a profit?
Heather K. Terry, a chocolatier and CPG entrepreneur, recommends using a good sam supply network. This type of supply chain allows sourcing ingredients from local farmers and producers. Through these efforts, companies pay the workers a fair and livable wage, building a strong economy. Equitable food companies benefit the environment by producing food sustainably and reducing waste.
In this episode of the CPG Troublemakers, Steve Gaither interviews Heather K. Terry, Co-founder and CEO of GoodSam Foods, about the benefits of direct chain supply and regenerative agriculture. Heather addresses her introduction to the CPG industry, the inspiration for creating GoodSam, and the challenges the company experienced before going to market.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
