Father Greg Boyle is a Jesuit priest and the founder of Homeboy Industries, the largest gang intervention, rehabilitation, and re-entry program in the world. A Los Angeles native, he served as pastor of Dolores Mission Church in Boyle Heights, one of the city’s most impoverished and gang-afflicted parishes. In response to the devastating impact of gang violence, he pioneered a radical approach: treating gang members with compassion rather than suppression, ultimately transforming thousands of lives.

Father Greg is the author of multiple bestselling books, including Tattoos on the Heart, Barking to the Choir, and The Whole Language. His work has earned him widespread recognition, including the California Peace Prize, the Laetare Medal from the University of Notre Dame, and most recently, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Today we revisit Kate’s conversation with Allison Ellsworth, the Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer of Poppi. It was recently announced that Allison is selling her company to PepsiCo for nearly $2 billion.

In this episode, Allison discusses her story of founding Poppi after facing numerous gut-health issues but being dissatisfied by the solutions her doctors came up with. After noticing the immense health benefits but bad taste of apple cider vinegar, Allison and her husband Stephen created Mother Beverage, a prebiotic soda that makes apple cider vinegar taste good.

From selling at farmer’s markets to getting an investment on Shark Tank, Poppi has revolutionized the soda industry by doing the unthinkable: creating a soda that is both tasty and good for you. Poppi sodas have been seen in the hands of Billie Eilish, Russell Westbrook, Jennifer Lopez, and many of your favorite celebrities. Poppi’s grape flavor won Food and Beverage Magazine’s Product of the Year for 2023, and the brand is the number one best-selling soda on Amazon.

Paul Ollinger is a nationally-touring comedian and writer. He has done more than 1,000 shows including the Limestone, BigPine, Laughing Skull, and Boston Comedy Festivals. Paul’s comedy is poignant and cutting, but what also distinguishes Paul is his previous life as a former Facebook VP of Sales, and one of Facebook’s first 250 employees.

After cashing in and retiring from Facebook at 42, Paul found himself bored, lonely, and driving his wife crazy. Wondering why the wealth windfall he had so long pursued didn’t deliver the contentment he expected, Paul launched the Crazy Money Podcast (now called Reasonably Happy) that began his lifelong dream of being a comedian. His work explores the connections between money, happiness, work, and meaning.
