EP 9: Rick Steel // Going Platinum in Generosity
<p>In this episode, I’m excited to welcome platinum producer Rick Steel to the show. Rick is an independent music producer of major recording artists such as French Montana and has collaborated with the likes of P Diddy at Bad Boy Records to name a few…I mean who hasn’t right? </p> <p><br></p> <p>He’s excelled in his craft by following the beat of his own drum and staying outside of the system. Rick and I talk about his early days in the music industry, his first major producing gig with Ja Rule (where would I be without by baby), his work with French, Diddy and others to help restore broken systems globally and his work locally with young people through his New York music studio. </p> <p><br></p> <p>As you can tell, Rick’s always looking for ways to give back, often enlisting the help of fellow collaborators in the music industry to donate and get the word out. </p> <p><br></p> <p>If you’re someone who loves music, loves stories and are looking for ways to break out of the everyday and do something extraordinary while giving back along the way, then this episode is for you. </p>

EP 8: Building a Giveback Side Gig, Day by De
<p>On this episode, I’m joined by Andy, Ben and Narendra of Day by De. This giveback side gig provides “farm to family” solutions in impoverished communities in Zambia. They’re a group of talented, driven guys who started a non-profit on top of their already busy professional schedules.</p> <p>They focus on building schools, gardens and chicken farms to help offset the economic disparity in rural Zambia. Together, these projects have helped over 3,000 Zambians to date with a goal of helping many more in the years to come. Outside of their work with Day by De we hit a range of topics including goat wrestling, how much smarter Ben is than me (hint, it’s a lot) and the challenges of working within subcultures in one country.</p> <p>True to the Armed & Gen framework, these guys are using their 9-5 skills to bring about change to those in need. Narendra is an entrepreneur and is involved in real estate which translates into an unstructured, nonprofit world where he’s standing up projects without any guidelines given to him. Andy is a commercial photographer who brings his creative skills to the table to bring the brand to life. And Ben is an environmental engineer who helps oversee the project work and operates as a jack of all trades for the organization.</p> <p>They combine to create a dream team who provides 300-700 chickens per community and help build schools as well, with a goal of a sustainable business model. Their aim is to do 3-5 of these projects per year and they can’t do it alone.

EP 7: Tackling the Hunger Crisis
<p>Mark Inkrott stopped by Armed & Generous to talk about his time in the NFL, his passion for agriculture, the value of hard work and how he got involved with the hunger crisis. </p> <p>Mark was drafted by the Carolina Panthers then played for the New York Giants and spent one NFL Europe season. In his professional career, Inkrott played 15 games, caught 15 passes and scored one touchdown. Following his NFL career, Mark earned a MBA in Marketing and Leadership from Ohio Dominican University. </p> <p>We dive into a range of topics from his roommate and mentor Kurt Warner to my chances at an NFL career and then some more serious takes on building a career that counts along with his insights on food insecurity in the US and what can be done about this challenging issue. </p> <p>Mark gets real about what it's like to go from the top 1% of your craft in the NFL to the bottom of barrel in the business world. He bounced around and tried teaching and coaching. That's where he learned some valuable lessons that birthed in him a new, profound direction. But it wasn't until he landed in the dairy industry where things really started to crystalize for him in terms of purpose and passion. </p> <p>His next move was to start his own thing with an old friend with a continued focus on food management, agriculture marketing, and all thing related to the food supply. Within his for-profit efforts in the cooler management sector, Mark and team have spun up a nonprofit arm called Fresh Has No Boundaries to augment the work other partners are doing. For example, only 10% of food pantries can accommodate fresh veggies, meat and dairy products due to lack of refrigeration; something Mark is trying to change. One tactic he's using is the Park It Market that provides a best-in-class experience for those in food deserts to have access to fresh, high nutrient foods. </p> <p>With 42 million American's who are food insecure, 13 million children living in a food insecure home and another 13 million living in food deserts. This is a massive problem but Mark has his gridiron energy and is ready to tackle hunger. </p> <p><a href="//www.markinkrott.com">Learn more about Mark</a> and all things <a href="https://www.coolermanagement.com/in-our-community/fresh-has-no-boundaries/#:~:text=This%20vision%20comes%20to%20light,that%20truly%20nourish%20every%20American.">Fresh Has No Boundaries Park It Market and Cooler Management</a> to see how you can get involved. </p>
