201. Sam Polk, Co-founder & CEO of Everytable

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
