This week, I spoke to Emile Johnson, CEO of Goode Foods and Pic Select Fresh. Emile’s companies are committed to delivering quality, nutritious, and delicious food products that lack preservatives and added sugar. His food products are also low in sodium, and high in protein and fiber. Their mission is to bring better nutrition to the country through proper education while providing the highest quality canned beans, vegetables and baby foods.

Goode Foods has been on shelf for about ten years and is available in nearly 2300 stores. The United States Department of Agriculture has also approved Goode Foods products as foods that meet the highest nutrition value for healthy eating. Goode Foods is also the first black-owned business to be approved by the USDA for the Women, Children and infant program (WIC).

In today’s episode, Emile goes into great detail about the highs and lows of building a black-owned legacy while holding on to his vision of doing more for his community.
