Expert Spotlight: June Jo Lee on Food Ethnography

In this episode, I sit down with June Jo Lee, a leading food ethnographer, to explore how food is more than fuel — it’s culture, rhythm, and care. June shares how observing the way people live with food reveals powerful insights for founders building products that stick.

Here are 6 takeaways from our conversation:

  • Food is culture, not just fuel.

  • Pay attention to rhythm — meals are routines and rituals.

  • Design for care, not just nutrition.

  • Observe how people live with food, not only what they say.

  • Global perspectives matter.

  • The real opportunity is moving from product to lifestyle.

June’s wisdom will inspire you to think differently about how your product fits into people’s lives — and how to scale with purpose.
