Food as Actionism: Seth Goldman on Changing Systems Bite by Bite

In this episode, we explore a powerful question: What if food could be more than just something we consume? What if it could become a tool for justice, a daily act of love, and a catalyst for systemic change? 

If you’ve ever reached for Honest Tea, enjoyed PLNT Burger, or followed the rise of Beyond Meat, you’ve already encountered Seth Goldman’s vision. Seth is the Co-Founder of Honest Tea, Just Ice Tea, and PLNT Burger, Chair of the Board at Beyond Meat, and Chair of Mission Guardians for Tony’s Chocolonely, a company working to end exploitation in the cocoa industry. A graduate of Harvard and the Yale School of Management, he’s been inducted into the Washington DC Business Hall of Fame, named CEO of the Year by Partnership for Healthier America, honored as a Climate Visionary by EARTHDAY.ORG, and co-authored the bestselling graphic memoir Mission in a Bottle.

What inspires me most about Seth is his belief that every sip, every bite, and every choice is an opportunity to shape the world we want to see. In this conversation, we explore food as a pathway to justice, the power of ethical business, and how conscious choices can heal both people and the planet.
