So, having worked in development, as well as venturing into the nonprofit space
The ways this is executed are, in my opinion, dark af
Usually through the act of “pork” and using certain people as figureheads (I.e. the poor, homeless, children, etc)
For example, you can draft a bill, proposal etc and name it the “save the homeless kids and puppies act”
And in then tie in a bunch of things into that funding, like who gets hired, who gets to oversee that spending, what other industries and contractors should be involved for this one thing
So if someone objects to any part of it, the headline reads “so and so objects to the save the homeless kids and puppies act”
While unsavory, super super common in places like NYC, CA, IL etc
The next wave of millionaire food entrepreneurs will be the ones who destroy monopolies - here’s how
If you’re in the food biz, this one’s for you.
The food we’re consuming is getting worse and worse, inflation kicking in only makes those choices worse.
So what do we do? I say we approach life the way it is, and that means that if we improve the quality of fast food first, this places a BIG stress to the ones who label themselves “healthy”.
Over the years, having worked & collaborated w/ food companies like Sassy Bird we’re seeing what happens when you refuse to lower standards, or go the cheapest route - the long term profits are far better than the short term wins. It’s how they were able to be the only fast casual restaurant to hit $2mil when restaurants were closing left and right of them.
Something as simple as refusing to rely on seed oils has helped mom & pops become the better, economically sound choice for someone.
Take Caporal chicken for example, when I met the owner, he explained how stressful it can be to source the exact ingredients he demands to deliver chicken that has people flying from NYC to Miami for a bite.
If the most “glutinous” of our food can get higher in quality while not sacrificing taste, imagine what the would mean for the rest of the industry?!
I intend to find out, and share the lessons along the way with you - stay tuned.

If you’re a small business owner, and want to snap up low hanging fruit
Look for industries that are being rolled up by private equity firms, HVAC and other Skilled trades for example
They leave MASSIVE amounts of opportunities wide open as they prioritize new customers over existing / retention
You get to wow customers on quality and hands on service, your worst case scenario is that another private equity company makes you an offer
If there’s anything that’s led to successes is the Win / Win / Win
In this case, we borrowed concepts from the hospitality space & Nike’s business model
The results were gym increased signups, an athlete got a lucrative brand deal, a sneaker company a new brand ambassador a DJ a new contract, and current members an unexpected surprise 🔥 #MAHA
