Think about this... Google is a verb. I Google. You Google. He/She/It Googles. To Google. Is Amazon a verb? Not yet, but when I’m searching for something I want to purchase, it’s my first stop. I just don’t say, “I Amazoned it.” I Amazon. You Amazon. He/She/It Amazons… Nope, not a verb. That said, clearly you don’t need to be a verb to take a bite out of Google. …see more

Gotta interview Henry Rock , Founder and Executive Director of #Charlotte's City Startup Labs project.

This is what dying industries that don't know how to react to consumer trends do. They file absurd lawsuits over words. Just like the dairy industry's failed fight against non-dairy drinks using the term milk, trying to prohibit companies like Tofurky from using "burger or "sausage" is ridiculous. But more importantly, even if they win, it will do nothing to stop the trend of more people becoming flexitarian or switching to a plant-based diet. A complete waste of time and money not to mention a clear signal that they are out of ideas. #strategy #plantbaseddiet #tofurky #fakemeat #beyondmeat #impossiblefoods #futurefood #plantbased #wholefoods …see more

“For some, I realize, business is the all-out pursuit of profits, period, full stop, but for us business was no more about making money than being human is about making blood. Yes, the human body needs blood. It needs to manufacture red and white cells and platelets and redistribute them evenly, smoothly, to all the right places, on time, or else. But that day-to-day business of the human body isn’t our mission as human beings. It’s a basic process that enables our higher aims, and life always strives to transcend the basic processes of living — and at some point in the late 1970s, I did, too. I redefined winning, expanded it beyond my original definition of not losing, of merely staying alive. That was no longer enough to sustain me, or my company. We wanted, as all great businesses do, to create, to contribute, and we dared to say so aloud.” https://lnkd.in/dUa-ApX #founder #entrepreneur #shoedog #philknight #innovator …see more

If you haven’t seen #themorningshow on Apple TV, they do an exceptional job of capturing the complexity of the “Me Too” movement from a raw, honest place.

In fact - when done in community, it’s actually a crucial part of the healing process. You can read my full review on TV Fanatic. …see more

Lest you think the plant-based meat movement is going to remain niche, not only is Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods gaining mainstream traction, Jack in the Box is trialing their Unchicken Sandwich, and now grocery chain Kroger just announced an expansion of their offerings as well. And to be clear, none of these products are designed just for vegans. In fact, they're aimed primarily at people who eat meat but are wanting to cut back. And it is just getting started. #veganbusiness #veganfood #impossiblefoods #impossibleburger #beyondmeat #kroger #groceryindustry #wholefoods #sprouts #jackinthebox #fastfoods …see more

Brand matters. “I’m just curious, which vaccine am I getting today? The Pfizer one?” he inquired. “No. We’re giving out the Moderna vaccine at this location. It’s just as effective as the other one,” I replied. Mr. Boch looked disappointed ― a little deflated, even. He turned to his wife and sighed, “I guess we don’t have a choice.” “Mr. Boch, can you help me understand why you prefer the Pfizer vaccine?” I asked. “I don’t know. I feel like I’ve heard the name Pfizer so many times before, seen them on TV,” he said. “It’s just a brand I’m more familiar with. So, their vaccine just feels better,” he surmised …see more
