Hey Friend!
On this week’s show, I chatted with author Tina Yaeger about her new book, Upcycled: Crafted for a Purpose. This conversation was so good!
You know the parts of your life you think God can’t possibly use? Well, those are the things He can use most brightly for His glory. Just think of the possibilities – how He can take our little and broken pieces and use them to become part of a grander story put together by Christ!
Tina and I talk about how we put the wrong label on ourselves (and sometimes, others) and how to put on God’s designer label, instead.
xo,
Donna

Today’s episode is all about upcycling. Meriam Webster defines upcycling as “to recycle (something) in such a way that the resulting product is of a higher value than the original item: to create an object of greater value from (a discarded object of lesser value).”
In our private Facebook community group Love Earth Big (you can find the link to that group in the show notes), many of you share incredible upcycling projects that you have done at home, including upcycling lamp shades into hanging planters, and upcycling old tires into beautiful outdoor gardens. This community never ceases to amaze and inspire me. On a macro level, companies like Nike have taken the rubber from old shoes and upcycled them into new gymnasium flooring and have turned plastic bags into dry fit clothing. A sector of industry that is rarely discussed in terms of upcycling is the food industry. This episode is devoted to just that, upcycled foods and specifically snacking. Without revealing too much, I’ll introduce you to today’s guest, Shannon Neumann.
Shannon is Associate Director of SnackFutures Innovation – Mondelēz International’s innovation and venture hub that plays a critical role in the company’s aggressive global growth agenda. In the SnackFutures model of Invent and Venture, Shannon is thrilled to have the opportunity to align her work with her personal passions for creating and building brands while connecting people from around the world through food.
Shannon has been with Mondelēz International for 9 years, and before that she worked with Kraft Foods, Cadbury and Nabisco. Shannon has held a number of key leadership roles in brand management, global breakthrough innovation and portfolio management across multiple categories including Gum, Candy and Biscuits. She has led and executed multi-market big bet projects for Mondelez collaborating across boundaries with cross-functional colleagues.
Shannon received her undergraduate degree from The University of Massachusetts, Amherst and her MBA from Fairleigh Dickinson University.

On this week's episode, we chat with Susannah and Jeremy, the husband and wife team behind CEMENT6, a Tennessee-based brand that repurposes cement and farming bags into stylish bags sold online and at in-person events.
It’s often that we hear about some really cool and promising new technology that’s allegedly going to change the game, but only once that tech is scaled and commercialized. In this episode, however, we’re featuring a start-up that not only has a very cool technology, it’s already commercialized it with hundreds of customers, including some very big names in the fashion world.
Mélanie Broyé-Engelkes is the CEO of Ananas Anam, makers of Piñatex. For those of you not fluent in Spanish, “piña” means pineapple, which gives you a sense of what Melanie and her team are doing with their B2B materials start-up.
When it comes to leather alternatives, most are made from fossil fuel-derived plastics. Aside from the obvious environmental concerns, there are functionality concerns with such plastic products, too. We often hear about really encouraging new sustainable materials like mushroom leather, cactus leather, and even leather from collagen that was grown in a controlled environment. But as promising as those solutions are, they aren’t yet really commercialized in any meaningful sense yet.
Enter Piñatex. It’s a leather alternative that’s made from the leaves of the pineapple plant, which are typically considered an agricultural waste product. These upcycled leaves are converted into a functional and luxurious-feeling material that can be used for everything from shoes to handbags, and more.
And indeed, that’s already what’s happening. Today brands like Hugo Boss, H&M, and hundreds of others, are using Piñatex in their designs, setting Ananas Anam apart from many other alt-materials makers.
In this episode, Melanie shares the company’s origin story, telling us where they’ve been and where the pineapple revolution is going.
