Welcome to our first-ever episode taped before a live audience! That’s right, episode 77 was taped on-stage at the Cultured Meat Symposium in San Francisco before a live audience, and now you get to be a part of it.
This is a story of two people who despite not having experience in the cultivated meat space felt so strongly about building a community around it that they started their own podcast, called Cultured Meat and Future Foods, their own conference, the Cultured Meat Symposium, and are now working on a children’s book about cultivated meat together as well.
To be clear, Anita Broellochs and Alex Shirazi didn’t have podcasting experience. They didn’t have conference organizing experience. They didn’t have book writing experience. Yet then teamed up and are succeeding with all of them. 100 podcast episodes and four successful conferences later, Anita and Alex have learned a lot during these past four years, and they’ve even gotten married during that time!
In this episode we discuss these experiences, what working together has been like on their relationship, whether they’re more bullish or bearish on the cultivated meat space after four years, and more. We also discuss Anita’s dive into entrepreneurship with her new fermentation start-up Balletic Foods.
