Through his company Strong Roots, he has created a global food brand that promotes a healthy lifestyle and gives back to the community by partnering with food banks. We also discussed how this past year this B-Corp achieved net zero, launched a report, and created a truly impact-driven company that looks equally at people, and the planet and makes a positive impact on so many lives.
