Selling sustainably.
On today's show we're with Paul Shapiro, the CEO of The Better Meat Co.
The Better Meat Co. is an eco-friendly company selling sustainable ingredients for better meat. The meat is 100% vegan and derived from fungi instead of plants. Fungi are actually more similar to animals than plants, as they breathe oxygen and do not go through photosynthesis.
The food is made using Rhiza, which is a complete protein ingredient that’s versatile, allergen-free, and naturally has the texture of animal meat. In addition to all of these wondrous attributes, Rhiza mycoprotein contains more protein than eggs, more iron than beef, more fiber than oats, more potassium than bananas, and naturally contains vitamin B12. This is really the newest superfood out there.

960 – Living with True Financial Freedom with beUnconstrained’s Myles Wakeham
Living with success.
On the show with us is Myles Wakeham, Owner of beUnconstrained.
Myles is atypical and yet successful. He is a multi-millionaire, having had that status (and lost it) 3 times in his life. Today his final success has led him to tell his story through his appearances on dozens of media outlets and through hosting his podcast “The Unconstrained Podcast”.
Originally from Adelaide, Australia, Myles began his career as a software developer in the late 1970s, having never even graduated high school. After success in his field, he moved to the USA at the age of 24, with nothing more than a bag of clothes and left a millionaire. Myles rejects the social norms of education, 9-5 job, and retirement outright and shows through his methods that one can live a financially sustainable life regardless of background, geography or education. His approach to being a contrarian shows that going against the herd can pay off.
Learn more about what Myles and I talk about on this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur.
