Disruption is powerful—but so are you.
Chris Whitney doesn’t believe America has a food shortage. As he puts it, it’s a logistics problem, not a supply problem — and he’s spent the last decade proving it.
In this episode of Disruption Lab, Patrick Leddin sits down with Chris Whitney, founder and CEO of One Generation Away. After spending six months in a food line himself, Chris started rescuing surplus food from grocers, farms, and restaurants and moving it onto tables across Tennessee, Alabama, and Florida. It began in the back of an SUV. Today it’s a $33 million operation, with semi-trucks unloading 20,000+ pounds of food into parking lots on Saturday mornings — no paperwork, no questions asked.
Chris’s story is one of the real-life accounts featured in Disrupt Everything—and Win, the New York Times bestseller by James Patterson and Patrick Leddin.
You’ll come away with a sharper eye for the difference between a scarcity problem and a distribution problem, a sense of why designing for dignity changes who actually shows up, and a real look at what it costs to scale 30x — and go all-in — without losing the thing that made you work in the first place.
