About this episode
Ashli and Ben Rosenthal discuss their leadership roles at Standard Meat Company and their commitment to sustainable growth and community involvement.
Ashli Rosenthal Blumenfeld and Ben Rosenthal are fourth-generation leaders of Standard Meat Company, serving as Co-President and CEO and Co-President. Ashli’s path into the business started early and took her beyond it — from growing up in the family’s food companies to building a career in communications, sales, and marketing, including several years in New York City. Ben came to Standard from a different angle, beginning his career in investment banking at Goldman Sachs before returning home with a sharp financial lens and a long-term mindset. Both are actively involved in the Fort Worth community and serve in leadership roles across civic, nonprofit, and industry organizations. Together, Ashli and Ben lead Standard Meat Company with a focus on stewardship, culture, and sustainable growth — honoring a multi-generation legacy while continuing to evolve the business. Their partnership reflects complementary strengths shaped by experience both inside and outside the family enterprise. In 2024, they were named Entrepreneur of the Year® Southwest and National Award winners. Ben & Ashli's Links: Website: https://www.standardmeat.com/ Facebook…
