To open our second season, we sit with Robbie Cape, a serial entrepreneur committed to building successful businesses dedicated to repairing the world meaningfully. He co-founded and is CEO of Mt. Joy, a restaurant that focuses on bringing irresistible fried chicken sandwiches from farm-to-table using regenerative practices. When Robbie's not thinking about how to help more farmers farm regeneratively, he's working on building a more sustainable, transparent supply chain for good food. Today, we talk to Robbie about his journey from tech to the food industry and how he's making Mt. Joy's business model of an inclusive food-farmer-processing-distribution and-consumer ecosystem, one that can take how we eat, how we farm, and how we care for our planet into the next generation.  

• How can food be the key to unlocking the next high-impact business model?
• How do you make good food that is healing for the planet, its people, and its animals?
• How hard is it really to do good and do good business?
• What does it take to create an ecosystem that shows how fried chicken can be used to change the status quo?

He is the host of the Dyslexic Design Thinking podcast featuring dyslexic creators, entrepreneurs and thought-leaders.

Robert is Co-Founder and Partner of Dalberg Design, where he brings human-centered design and innovation services to clients looking for new, creative approaches to making breakthroughs in social impact and international development. We talk to him about how his years of experience in human-centered design has shaped his perspective on how we think about relationships when designing services for communities around the world and how inclusion in service design means not only bringing communities aboard to participate in creating solutions but also deeply examining how you can create space and opportunity for people and entire organizations to navigate existing power structures better.

• How do you navigate the power dynamics of social impact changemaking? 

• What are better ways you can set your organization up to affect social change at a global scale?

How would you navigate the politics of the public sector to help improve the lives of your local citizens? In this episode, Fanny and Mindy hear from Joie Cruz about what it takes to drive social innovation in the Phillipines.

What happens when your inclusive efforts are siloed as opposed to woven into the fabric of your organization? What to do when there aren’t enough young workers to hire? Which brands are making strides in building a multi-generational workforce?
