Meet our guest:

Start-up founder and food activist Raina Kumra is on a mission to help people have greater access to nutrient-dense food and better health at scale. After 25 years of working in the tech industry, Raina realized

After a decade in digital advertising working with brands like Nike and Coke, Raina knew she could create a greater impact on the world.

Add to that list: wife, mother, sister, daughter, friend, and advisor —one woman with a lifetime of lessons and the moxie to prove it.
