Dan Kurzrock was brewing beer as a hobby in college when he realized that only 10% of the ingredients used to make beer actually end up in any pint of beer. All-in-all, we waste 40% of all edible food.

Today Dan runs ReGrained, a mission-driven ingredient platform that leverages technology and culinary science to transform beer waste into food. Dan is a thought-leader in food waste business models, "edible upcycling" and the circular economy for food, and he made it onto the Forbes 30 under 30 list in 2018.

The consumer brand is selling supergrain puffs like hotcakes despite a pandemic-related pivot into eCommerce.

All the facets of Dan's brand is what made this a longer and deeper conversation than you are used to from Hitting The Mark, but it is for all the right reasons. 'Eat up' is the motto, listen up is where to start!
