Today, I'm joined by Sam Polk, co-founder & CEO of Everytable, a food company making nutritious, made-from-scratch meals available at fast-food prices.
Sam Polk, a former Wall Street trader turned social entrepreneur, founded Everytable with the aim to address food inequality by providing affordable, convenient healthy meals to underserved communities. Upending the traditional restaurant model, the company uses centralized, chef-led kitchens to supply grab-and-go storefronts, commercial SmartFridges, and direct-to-consumer offerings.
In this episode, we learn about Everytable's variable pricing model that adjusts based on the median income level of the zip codes it serves. Sam also shares his views on preventative health and fixing the food system.
In this episode, you'll learn:
• Why the American food system is fundamentally broken
• Everytable's hyper-efficient strategy to bring healthy meal prices down
• Sam's plans to disrupt fast-food and advocate for food as medicine
