  Food Secure Nation with Denis McDonough, CEO Feeding America Part 1

  Sep 17, 202642 min

  After a lifetime of public service, Denis McDonough had choices. He chose hunger. In this deeply personal conversation, Feeding America’s new CEO shares how family, faith, service and a belief in the dignity of every person led him to the fight for a food-secure nation. And I would not change the Show 1 monologue or FFT much at all. After hearing the actual conversation, they hold up exceptionally well. If anything, the transcript gives us more confidence that “the work is worthy” was exactly the right frame.

After 24 years in grocery retail, Heather became President of Good Shepherd Food Bank of Maine, bringing lessons in operations, innovation and execution into a world where success is measured very differently. Heather joins Dr. Phil Knight and Gerry Brisson for a remarkable conversation about what translates, what must be unlearned, why hard times demand creativity, and what leaders discover when they’re willing to see the world from both sides of the aisle. Listen to Food Secure Nation and discover why being curious is how we build a Food Secure Nation.

  Food Secure Nation with Matt Habash - The Riptide of Innovation

  Aug 22, 202642 min

  Matt Habash has spent more than four decades challenging one of the biggest assumptions in hunger relief: that success is measured by how much food we distribute. Under his leadership, the Mid-Ohio Food Collective became one of the most innovative organizations in the Feeding America network—using data, healthcare, technology, public policy and community partnerships to better understand not just where hunger exists, but why. His philosophy is captured in one unforgettable line: “We’re not going to food bank our way out of hunger.” In this episode, Matt shares the experiences, ideas and lessons behind a 42-year career of asking better questions, listening deeply and refusing to accept that the way things are is the way they have to remain. Because innovation isn’t simply about having new ideas. It’s about never becoming too experienced to keep learning.
