It was great to talk with Anthony Zhang today and discuss his efforts to democratize #passioninvesting. When we discuss the broad investable universe, his company is right to the point. Vinovest has spent the past five years helping investors access wines and spirits. #CapitalFormation allows other companies to operate more efficiently with their own balance sheet(s). #bourbon #whiskey #scotch #whisky

How a short walk and a conversation with a vendor at a farmers' market, can help inspire fundamental transformational change throughout a city. 🏗🥕 It’s real now.  The announcement was made. The dignitaries and media assembled and left. The hoarding is up. Skilled women and men now toil within the bowels of the arena to make it the epi-centre of live music in Canada. Not Toronto or Montreal or Vancouver. (They likely won't bother reading this news if they see it at all). Its the City Of Hamilton.  But the greatest takeaway yesterday was not reported.  It hasn’t been spoken of that I’ve noticed.  But I heard it from Tim Leiweke and Tom Pistore and Josh Epstein of the Oak View Group.  An anecdote that Tim relayed at his formal remarks at the arena that was followed by a remarkable commitment. A commitment he repeated yesterday evening at a wonderful celebration hosted by another venerable community institution, The Hamilton Club. It goes something like this. As Tim was walking back from the arena announcement to the Hamilton Club he walked through our wonderful Farmers' Market. He talked with venders. And, in a moment of inspiration, summonsed his leadership team to come over.  They talked with our hard working small business people about their work and products.  And a thought took root which Tim passionately communicated last night.   As an organization committed to positive impact, working with partners like HUPEG, sharing a resolve to steward the transformation of our downtown, what if the Oak View Group and Live Nation Entertainment and its partners prioritized procuring food from the Hamilton Farmers' Market? Set aside for a moment the prospect of having the world’s greatest musical acts appear in our city.  And reflect on the impact to these small businesses and their families of this facility committing to procure from them?   This from one short walk and and an accidental collision. Now imagine a comprehensive long term sustainable focus on broad based community impact from this massive 'seed investment' and the follow on investments and commercial activity it will catalyze, supplemented and supported by local leaders and involving every ward in our city. Actually there is no need to imagine it. Because we’ve created it. It’s called the The Commons.  If this is what comes from the short walk of one brilliant business leader, just think of what will come from the countless future walks, conversations and inspirations of the many other credentialed and aspirational business leaders to follow?? And as importantly, all the rest of us from every walk of life aspiring to help create a better city. This is the POWER of a vibrant, dynamic, business environment. The collisions and innovations that it spawns. And of business leaders - small, medium and large - who grind everyday to make things better. Thank you Mr. Leiweke. #GameonCommons https://lnkd.in/gQTzHUMc

Los Angeles Food Day Series (part 2), Strengthening a Postpandemic Food Retail Economy: On October 17th, LAFPC convened Guerrilla Tacos, Inclusive Action for the City, TMC Capital and KIWA, to dig into the unique experiences, challenges and opportunities of food businesses, especially restaurants over the last several years. Moderated by Eater LA, the experts noted the high price of leasing space and the importance of throughly understanding lease agreements so they become a protective tool for business owners. They highlighted the cost of sourcing high-quality, local products, and investing in employees while trying to maintain price points customers accept. Access to funding sources for various needs while avoiding predatory lending was also discussed. Business empowerment, worker organizing and policy solutions were uplifted with the goal of working towards synergistic solutions through our food retail.

A few items that I took away from Bob Moore's quotes: - Start that business earlier. That dream you have or idea is worth exploring. - Treat others as you want to be treated and then have your actions back that up. - Give to the organizations and causes that speak to you. Truly inspiring to see the company that Bob built and how he transferred it to the employees.

🧀🤝🌿 I've worked for large, multi-billion dollar companies; but working for a family-owned company like Rumiano Cheese brings unique advantages. The sense of community and strong relationships, especially with family farms we've partnered with for generations, creates an environment of trust and shared purpose. Decisions are often made with vision, emphasizing sustainability and legacy. I have never worked with a company with a stronger emphasis on community and really taking care of it's people. On the flip side, there can be challenges, like navigating family dynamics or adjusting to the often slower pace of change. However, the closeness and commitment to core values make these hurdles more manageable. It's all about building and nurturing relationships! 🌿🤝🧀 #FamilyBusiness #Sustainability #Relationships #Rumiano

A cooperative is so much more than a shared ownership structure. According to Dr. Keith Taylor from UC Davis Cooperative Extension, a CO-OP is a potentially powerful economic development tool for neighborhoods and communities… and yet it is rarely utilized as such. New Helvetia Brewing Co. is embarking on a bold conversion into a community & worker-owned CO-OP, and you can be part of this groundbreaking transformation. https://lnkd.in/gjZJ9nsY

Moments that matter.✨ Fred Brown Sr., known for his business acumen and innovative spirit, seized an unusual opportunity when Country Time Lemonade made a colossal mistake by omitting a key ingredient in a 300-truckload run of their mix. Recognizing the potential, Fred purchased the lemonade mix at an advantageous price, a move likened to winning the lottery. 🍋 Facing the challenge of repackaging the lemonade mix for the feed industry, Fred enlisted the expertise of Dave Oatman. Together, they capitalized on the sweetness of molasses in animal feed, selling the entire lot of lemonade mix to a molasses entrepreneur. The Country Time Lemonade incident not only turned a mistake into a significant opportunity for The International Companies, IFPC's parent company, but also showcased the company's penchant for ingenuity and calculated risk-taking. ✳️ Follow along as we continue to share significant milestones and other fun facts that shaped IFPC into the company we are today in our Moments that Matter social media series. 😁 #Momentsthatmatter #CompanyHistory #IFPCfacts #Ingredients #IFPC
