SO...you've founded a high-impact company or otherwise achieved financial success. What next? I share my thoughts on how those who achieved financial success can have a lasting impact after exit in this guest piece for Protein Report: https://t.co/D9kyTMIApx

If you're not already a fan of the Business For Good Podcast from @BetterMeatCo founder @PaulHShapiro, it's a fantastic source for interviews with leading founders from across the FoodTech sector. It was a pleasure to join Paul for this week's podcast, chatting about recent trends in the sector, my new book, and more: https://t.co/vsp3xU3LUP

Today's the day! My new book was officially released today by Simon&Schuster/Regalo Press: https://t.co/W5ZgnUDiox . I'm pleased to see it remains Amazon's #1 new release in Philanthropy & Charity (also #4 and #5, since ebooks and audiobooks are counted separately); #1 new release in Ethics & Morality (also #3 and #4); and has been vacillating between #1 and #2 in the Social Philosophy category. Appreciate the interest, and please feel free to *SHARE* this post with others if you appreciate the book's angle :)

Enjoyed this discussion with @adammendler and Thirty Minute Mentors about what Lever VC looks for in startups, what it takes to scale a business, what I hope readers take away from my new book What We Don't Do, and the best piece of advice I've ever gotten: https://t.co/8KfPVd9rfz

For the first time in human history, our inactions cause far more harm to others than our actions ever could.

My new book What We Don't Do from Regalo Press and Simon & Schuster explores why that came to be and what it means for each of us. More at: https://t.co/brihOMbil2

This is a great book with 100 plant-based recipes for meal-prep. 100% recommended!

The plant-based pet food market appears to be growing at a decent rate, with projections for strong growth in the years ahead. The reason to purchase closely follows the reasons for purchasing plant-based food for themselves: health and sustainability. https://t.co/6meHoWvuI1

On November 16th, the FDA completed its first premarket assessment of Upside Foods, which grows meat from cells. This represents a huge step forward in the right direction for the cell-based industry and for a cleaner, more ethical form of meat. https://t.co/9ePJlC6KN7

Boston Bioworks is offering process development services to clients that are developing alt-protein food products, such as meat and dairy proteins, fats and flavorings. They are already being challenged by greater-than-expected demand for its services. https://t.co/hsqFcGLzgi

Delighted to be a speaker at the @Bridge2Food Plant-Based Foods & Proteins Community Singapore 2022 (Nov 28-30) https://t.co/0loalLDtIe . For those that can attend, the summit should be an excellent opportunity to learn and network particularly around opportunities in Asia.

Alternative proteins are one of the most effective avenues for reducing food waste. My thoughts on it in @Labiotech_eu for those interested in the how and why (see question #2 onward): https://t.co/vBCnVTvya7
