John Mackey is the remarkable entrepreneur best known as the co-founder of the natural and organic retailer Whole Foods Market. In over 40 years as CEO, John has led the company as it has grown from a single store in Austin Texas, to 540 stores in the US, Canada, and the UK. He also co-founded the Conscious Capitalism Movement and co-authored the New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling book by the same name. He’s written a number of great books since then but we’re really excited about his latest which came out yesterday, titled The Whole Story: Adventures in Love, Life, and Capitalism. It’s part memoir, part lessons in entrepreneurship, and we couldn’t recommend it enough. Join us as we have a great conversation around the origins of Whole Foods, if it’s possible to eat healthy foods that cost less, capitalism under fire, how John define conscious capitalism, what it takes to start your own business, and much more!
