Mastering the best of what other people have already figured out
My guest today is John Mackey, the co-founder of Whole Foods Market, where he was CEO from 1980 to 2022.
We discuss how he turned hostile customers into evangelists, survived multiple extinction-level threats, and built a mission-driven billion-dollar business without compromising its soul. We also discussed the Amazon acquisition.
