Collin Tate: Making Plant-Based Brands More Visible and Accessible

The Modern Health Nerd Podcast, Episode #36

Why should anybody have to scour Google in a never-ending quest for good plant-based options?
‍
Thanks to Collin Tate's work with Kind Co, you don't have to.

After becoming frustrated with the amount of trial and error he needed to go through to find the best plant-based and vegan products, Collin launched the Kind Find newsletter—part of the Kind Co suite of projects—to help others skip the searching and get right to the good stuff.

The newsletter puts brands in front of consumers in an engaging, highly visible format that lands right in their inboxes.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How Collin went from "annoying" meat eater (his words!) to full vegan, and how his health changed as a result
• How Kind Find is different from other curated lists of plant-based and vegan goods
• How Kind Co.'s projects support the plant-based movement via consumers and brands
• The power of DTC for expanding access to plant-based foods
• The importance of having a good e-commerce experience as a DTC brand
• How the trend toward greater brand transparency is enabling more consumer choice
• The role the supply chain plays in improving the food system
• The many opportunities available to impact the future of food
