In this episode, Jessica Regan, founder and CEO of FoodMesh, shares her mission to tackle one of Canada’s most pressing issues: food waste. With nearly half of the country's food going to waste while one in four Canadians faces food insecurity, Jessica built FoodMesh as a matchmaking platform that redirects unsellable but still good food to charities, farmers, and upcyclers. What began as a connector service has evolved into a full-scale B Corp, working with major grocers, municipalities, and over 2,500 organizations.
Jessica also opens up about the challenges of building a mission-driven company, including fundraising while pregnant, navigating team dynamics, and creating a values-based culture. Her story is a powerful reminder that with purpose, grit, and intuition, you can build a business that not only grows but makes a real difference.
