Who’s in the dojo? Meet GW Chew, aka Chef Chew, Founder & CEO of Oakland-based start-up Something Better Foods Inc. Chef Chew grew up a “country boy” in a family of heavy meat eaters. Eventually, he noticed a lot of different diseases, from diabetes to cancer, plagued members of his family. He started experimenting with vegan food products in 2004 and ultimately invented his own plant-based product, “Better Chew Protein.” In this episode, Chef Chew shares laughs with Keba about growing up in a community that hunted and ate squirrels and possums, weighs in on the unique challenges Black-owned small businesses are facing in the age of COVID-19, and shares how to create scalable plant-based solutions for grocery & food services that help brands innovate within their current portfolio.
