On this episode, Dave's guests are Brent Overcash and Greg Shewmaker, co-founders of TeakOrigin, a Boston-based food data company on a mission to help us all make the best possible food decisions. TeakOrigin's proprietary Nutritional Intelligence platform is able to measure nutrition at scale, revealing what is inside of the fruits, vegetables and fresh foods we buy.

In a world where health is the new wealth, apps enable us to do anything with the tap of a button, and data is the new oil, the way we buy fruits and vegetables hasn't changed for decades. We squeeze, sniff and scan them without having any idea of what lies beneath their skin. Did you know that the average apple contains over 5 gigs of data? And that the calories in one avocado can be double those of another, and until now, there's been no way to know the difference. TeakOrigin is changing that for shoppers, retailers and governments, helping solve quality, pricing and food waste problems on a global level. Greg and Brent share learnings from their entrepreneurial journey, including how they build teams, deal with stress and why no one should ever take a first date to an Andrew Dice Clay or Public Enemy show.
