Heather Terry, founder and CEO of GoodSAM Foods
Compass Coffee Talk™ continues its live webinar series for entrepreneurs and business leaders in the natural, organic and sustainable products industry by welcoming Heather Terry, founder and CEO of GoodSAM Foods, a public benefit corporation and a rapidly growing brand in the natural and organic products channel.
In the popular podcast, hosted by natural products veterans Steven Hoffman and Bill Capsalis, Heather will share how GoodSAM is “doing well by doing good,” leading the way in regenerative agriculture and consciously sourced consumer products, with vertically integrated product lines in coffee and chocolate sourced from sustainable partner farms.
Heather brings a career’s worth of experience to the GoodSAM venture, with a mix of entrepreneurial forays, such as NibMor Chocolate, and work as a consultant who grew many natural beauty product brands such as S.W. Basics, Pulp Pantry and Organic Bath Company, among others.
Today, Heather is focused on working with farmers to ensure they are paid fairly and the material is ethically sourced for all of GoodSAM’s direct trade products.
“It seems small, picking up snacks or coffee for your everyday, but when you buy those things from GoodSAM, you are doing so much more,” states Heather on the GoodSAM website (www.goodsamfoods.com). “You are enjoying a high quality product with health benefits, you are paying farmers and families a living wage, you are contributing to reversing climate change because of our and our partners’ sustainability practices. It’s all circular and it is the reason I love getting up in the morning to do my job.”
“Certain individuals make a big difference, and they influence and inspire others with not only good business sense, but also a strong sense of mission, leadership and service. Heather Terry is one of those people. Tune in to learn more about Heather and how her story can apply to the success of your business,” said Steven Hoffman, managing director of Compass Natural and co-host and producer of Compass Coffee Talk.
