How Food Can Change Lives | Rob Caslick & the Two Good Co
How can food transform lives?
In this powerful episode of Moments to Movements, host Luke Cook sits down with Rob Caslick, founder of Two Good Co, to explore how a simple idea—food made with dignity—has grown into a movement empowering women with lived experience of homelessness, domestic violence and complex trauma.
Rob shares the pivotal moment that shaped his purpose: visiting a soup kitchen at just 12 years old with his grandmother. Years later, after building an organic soup kitchen in Sydney’s Kings Cross, Rob realised that charity alone wasn’t enough. Sustainable impact required meaningful employment, connection and choice.
Today, Two Good Co employs and supports vulnerable women through high-quality food and products—working towards a mission of employing 80 women every year.
This conversation explores:
Turning compassion into scalable social impact
Why employment is key to breaking cycles of disadvantage
Building dignity, independence and connection through food
The realities of creating a purpose-driven business
How leaders can use business as a force for good
Be inspired. Take action.
