Buckle up for an unforgettable conversation with Matt Eastland, the effervescent host of the Food Fight Podcast. Matt is a food fanatic, innovation aficionado, and lover of food trends and tech. As the creator and host of the popular podcast, Matt has interviewed hundreds of the world's leading agrifood entrepreneurs, innovators, and influencers to bring the world a better perspective on how we grow our food and the challenges facing our global food systems. Matt is also the Director of Brand and digital for EIT Food and fearlessly leads the brand and digital content strategy for the whole organization.

In this lively episode, Matt discusses the importance of our food system and how his guests have opened his eyes to rethink how we grow our food. We also get into growing our own food, eating in season, the food discoveries he's made after having his first child, and the part you've been waiting for—his love of pizza!

Matt has been on a mighty, one might say obsessed quest to find the world's tastiest, healthiest and most sustainable pizza, and he has found it. In this episode, Matt talks about what makes pizza special to him (hint: Sicily), and as a delightful bonus for our listeners, he shares his secret recipe for that delicious Eastland special pie. You won't want to miss it!

You can listen to the Food Fight podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and directly from the EIT Food Fight Podcast website.

On this episode of Tiny Little Victories, we sat down with Dallas culinary artist and entrepreneur Traci Moore. Traci is one of those women who has creativity flowing out of her mind, body and soul in her four businesses. From Moore's Twisted Berries - bedazzled and decorated chocolate strawberries fit for Beyonce; The Dinner Clique, private dinner pop-ups; Enchanting and meticulously crafted Lapin masks at Lapin Couture; and Co-Owner of Southern Pleasures Expo. Lapin Couture, like Traci, is a fusion of whimsy and sophistication in the world of fashion and self-expression. Traci talks about how she got started in the business, how family dinners and her daughters inspired her to become a chef and accessory designer and her unwavering belief in herself and her creations.

On this rocking episode, I had the chance to talk with one of my favorite humans from my time working with startups in Estonia -- Blazej Wojtyla. Blazej is the kind of human who uses every facet of his brain. He always thinks quietly and thoughtfully, and the outcome is always something spectacular. Blazej is the the CEO and founder of Jazzy Innovations and Stream Sage is also the writer and creator of the one-man interactive stage show in Poland, How It Has to Be.

But let’s back up a little. As a successful entrepreneur, Blazej built Jazzy Innovations and Stream Sage in his native Poland. Stream Sage transforms content into a connected storytelling experience that engages customers. The technology he created lets users connect any content (video, live streaming, text, images, and storytelling) directly with their products/services, which offers a new way to unlock revenue and conversions and drive engagement.

But along the way, Blazej felt like he had a story to tell. He had grown up doing magic and was fascinated by the philosophical and problem-solving principles that empowered magicians.

So Blazej returned to his passion as a young adult and began developing a play about finding and recalibrating your instinct, letting go of programming, and challenging yourself to stand up for your path and the journey you are on.

He hired an acting coach, honed his playwriting skills and re-opened the door to his love of magic. After months of many twists and turns, defending his choice to focus on the show, How It Has To Be opened in October 2024 in Poland to rave reviews.

How It Has To Be challenges conventional thinking and encourages the audience to dig deeper into who they are and how they are defined. What’s not to love?

Here's a fact you need to staple to your head: 70% of crops worldwide rely on bees. Yup, so that tomato is in your BLT, and it needs bees. That avocado that's about to be inedible needs bees. But with their increased mortality rates, your neighbour spraying toxins in the form of mosquitos being gone, and pesticides flooding the planet, these poor bees - who only make a teaspoon of honey in their entire short lifespan, are experiencing whole colony collapse. Without pollinators, we have no crops.

Beekeepers and farmers are facing increased financial strains, which makes it much harder to feed a growing global population—which, by the way, we need and are running out of food.

Enter Itai Kanot, the Co-founder and Chief Growth Officer at BeeHero, a technology company focused on precision pollination services to improve crop yields. He's a beekeeper, and he was part of his father's beekeeping business, Boaz Kanot Bees & Honey. He has been around bees (and stung by bees) since he was five years old.

Itai was on track to take over the family bee business, but his father gave him some good advice: Get out there and see what you want to do. So he did. Itai shares his story from beekeeper to entrepreneur and how he and his co-founders have created sensors for hives that help beekeepers understand what's happening in the hive through temperature, humidity, and even the nervousness of the queen.

Today, BeeHero and Itai are on a mission to help growers pollinate their crops with bees and ensure we all have a food future!

Soil isn't sexy. Even Martha Stewart, in her new commercial for organic soil from Miracle Grow, is out stumping for soil, calling herself a 'dirt nerd.' Good for you, Martha. But while Martha is making our backyard soil healthier, we need to think about making the food that grows our food healthier.

Soil has a microbiome. And here's one for trivia night: there are more soil microorganisms in a teaspoon of healthy soil than there are people on the Earth. Sadly, our soil is dying; it's a non-renewable resource, and healthy, well-managed soil can take carbon out of the atmosphere.

Meet Kathryn Radovan, Co-founder and Senior vice president of business operations at Terra Vera. Terra Vera created an amino acid that uses nature to treat and fertilize soils. Terra Vera is a first-of-its-kind agriculture technology company using an amino acid platform to prevent crop loss and safely improve crop quality. Let's not forget about the bees. Their new company, ApiVera, is going to help commercial beekeepers in so many ways—and if the bees are healthy and happy, so are our crops!

Kathryn talks about the importance of creating sustainable agriculture, how the best discoveries can lead to a new way of thinking, and how her time growing up around the wetlands of Florida changed her perspective on the world.

Check out their upcoming crowdfunding campaign to help the bees: Indiegogo Pre-Launch (Coming soon!)

On this show, we dive into a topic that people either love or hate: Needles. Needles aren't new to the world—50,000 years ago, they found evidence of bird bone needles. Needles went from bones to metal to plastic over decades. In the 1960s, the US military gave vaccine needle-free injections with high-powered compression. But it wasn't simple. You had to stand still while the compression gun was applied as the technician pulled the trigger.

Now, consider this: imagine all the waste that plastic needles make: the needle, the syringe, the little plastic coffin it lives in, and the latex gloves needed for each injection. Try Googling the cost of a needle's lifecycle, and you won't be able to find it. Medical waste is a global problem. Earth.org reported that the COVID-19 pandemic was a public health crisis and an environmental crisis. An estimated eight million metric tons of plastics enter the ocean annually. According to a WHO report, the medical waste accumulated during the pandemic increased plastic pollution in the oceans tenfold.

Our guest, Lea Milovich, CEO and co-founder of Flowbeams, knows we can do better and says it's time for a new way to inject micro fluids—needle-free injection using lasers. Lea shares her journey from business innovator to CEO, her never-ending curiosity, and her desire to ensure great technology gets out into the marketplace.

Here's a shocking fact: 11% of all greenhouse gas emissions come from materials in the construction industry. What if you could shift that number? Imagine you could do that with fungi and a mycelial network.

In this episode of Tiny Little Victories, meet concerned citizen and entrepreneur Joanne Rodriguez, CEO and founder of MycoCycle. She is tackling the construction waste problem with fungi. Joanne shares her journey on her discovery and idea of using fungi to break down construction waste to remove toxins from construction waste and transform it into valuable low-carbon, bio-based construction materials. Think about it: roofing material being dumped and just sitting there rotting. Then along comes fungi, which do their natural thing of reducing the toxicity of materials and transforming what they consume through biosorption, bioconversion and biodegradation. Joanne shares why she founded the company, how she never stops learning about what fungi can do and how she believes that a bio-circular economy can change our world.
