  • #1 podcast to understand the state of alternative proteins

    What I love about the Business For Good Podcast is that Paul consistently asks the right questions to guests on the show, in a way that allows conversation around deeply complex topics in an understandable way. He goes beyond the flashy news headlines and speaks to people directly in the field who are pioneering these businesses. I especially love the laser focus on science-backed thinking and pragmatism/realism in every episode. Highly recommend.

  • Love the Jonathan Berger episode!

    This was one of my favorite interviews of the show! Can you imagine running a company when your country has been attacked and the CEO has to go to war? How do you continue at a competitive pace in a global market when the rest of your competitors don’t face the existential crises your company is facing? Jonathan Berger was so inspiring and the masterful Paul Shapiro asked thought-provoking questions. 5 out of 5.
