Today the organization’s founder, Curt Ellis, lifts the lid on the current school cafeteria ecosystem, and the domino effects a bad diet has on our wellbeing and economy at large.  We discuss how school cafeterias are moving away from heat-and-serve to fresh cooking, why it’s so important to have children actively involved in menu building, and why now is the perfect time to transform our kid’s lunch trays.  This episode is sure to give you some serious food for thought as to the different ways you integrate food education into your everyday life, and we strongly encourage listeners to learn more about the great work FoodCorp is doing!

Hinge has boldly positioned itself as a different kind of dating app, which replaces engagement metrics and retainment stats for real connection and authenticity. They don’t want you to use the app more — they want you to never have to use it again. We dig into Hinge’s unique algorithm, which intentionally sidesteps the soul-destroying cycle of speed-swiping and ghosting. Justin reveals how Hinge has evolved from a dating app to a modern love expert service, and why the business of love beats any other day job.   Connect with us on Insta: Alli: @alliwebb Adrian: @adrian.k   Resources: Instagram: @hinge   Raising the Bar with Alli and Adrian is a production of Crate Media

Love’s in the air! We’re approaching our 16th month together, and February has us all in amor-mode, so we thought we’d share our new relationship ritual with you all.  It’s been super-helpful for us to get into the habit of expressing what we’re grateful for every night and bring important subjects we tend to sweep under the carpet to the surface. Communication is crucial to all relationships — business and personal — and this has proved to be a great tool for us to both feel seen and valued.  Try it out for size and tell us if it works for you!    Connect with us on Insta: Alli: @alliwebb Adrian: @adrian.k   Raising the Bar with Alli and Adrian is a production of Crate Media

It’s no secret that Adrian and Alli met through Three Day Rule, the matchmaking service for those who are ready to date more intentionally.

We’re joined by Talia Goldstein, the founder of Three Day Rule, and Rebecca Macias, the matchmaker who personally orchestrated our connection. We talk about the current dating climate for singles, defining partnership non-negotiables, and dismantle the ‘stigma’ attached to hiring a matchmaker to find the relationship you want.  We’re so grateful to Three Day Rule for their incredibly intuitive process which bought us — and thousands of others — so much joy.    Connect with us on Insta: Alli: @alliwebb Adrian: @adrian.k   Resources: Interested in trying out Three Day Rule?
