Derya is one of the co-founders of HMD [https://www.wearehmd.com/], an insight-driven consulting firm that helps organizations develop a deeper understanding of ‘human’ and transform their structures around it. Our conversation explored the divide that people experience between who they are at work and who they are outside of work.

Ben’s take on transparency in the food industry drives his dedication to being straight with his customers, and his commitment to sustainable, organically grown beans. We discuss his path to entrepreneurship, his experience working in consumer packaged goods (CPG), and how that influenced his purpose in creating a food business that "pulled back the curtain" for consumers. Ben also talks about his support of S.H.A.R.E. Agriculture Foundation [https://shareagfoundation.org/about-2/?doing_wp_cron=1612923747.1044299602508544921875] and how meaningful their mission is.
