“Food is creative; food is alchemy; food is inventing.” - Donna Pace

Episode Description:

Two elements need to be woven together to impact the future of food- food innovation and a business to serve as its vehicle. The call to change the food system is urgent, and it commands the need to seek ways to improve on these elements fast. However, these are two of the most challenging aspects of development. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, approximately 20 percent of new businesses fail in the first two years, and only a quarter lasts up to 15 years. We need to shift these numbers to work at our advantage.

This week, Justine sits with Donna Pace, a mentor, life coach, and creative problem-solving trainer. She sees herself as a CreACTivist, one who actively participates in creating a global community of creative innovators.

Tune in as Donna discusses how we can build and support regenerative food businesses to fulfill their mission. Learn how to upgrade your communication systems, address communication barriers, and keep a sense of authenticity and integrity. As a provocateur, Donna also shares two definite processes and resources that can help entrepreneurs succeed in their future projects. Future trends allow us to see how tomorrow looks like-- and that means, we hold the power to create a better food system now.
