| 5/7/26 |  The Overlooked Diversifier: A New Playbook for American Farmland | American farming is under real pressure. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has sent synthetic fertilizer prices spiking, and 70% of US farmers say they can't afford the inputs they need for this planting season. But this isn't just a recent shock. Farm margins have been shrinking for years, and the US has lost almost 150,000 farms in the last five years alone. The commodity model that defined American agriculture for decades simply wasn't built for the volatility we're living through now. I... | 43m 40s | ||||||
| 4/23/26 |  The Case for Automating American Factories With Formic | This episode will change the way you see American manufacturing and showcase why it's both more vulnerable and more adaptable than you may think. Saman Farid, CEO and founder of Formic, sits down with Chuck Templeton to pull back the curtain on a pressure point hiding in plain sight: hundreds of thousands of U.S. factories are running behind schedule or turning down orders, not because they lack machines or materials, but because they simply can't find people to run them. Saman introduces For... | 48m 55s | ||||||

From gas shortages hitting stoves in India and setting coal prices at all-time highs, to what this means for industries from electr... | 39m 27s | ||||||
| 3/26/26 |  The Business Case for Sustainability: Lessons from 20 Years at Mars | For large corporations, sustainability sits at the intersection of long-term strategic necessity and short-term financial pressure, and most companies are still trying to figure out how to make it work. In this episode, Kevin Rabinovitch, Global VP of Sustainability at Mars, joins Sanjeev to make the business case for why Mars has been betting on sustainability for decades. He breaks down how the company thinks about risk, supply chain resilience, and long-term value creation and walks throug... | 37m 16s | ||||||
| 3/12/26 |  How to Build Intelligent, Flexible Manufacturing with Sojo | We are at an inflection point in manufacturing where artificial intelligence, robotics, and data are converging to fundamentally change what's possible in the physical world.

What starts as a story about putting different flavors into one box qui... | 40m 10s | ||||||

| 1/29/26 |  Healthcare Costs Keep Rising. Food Could Be a Fix. | If diet is a major driver of chronic disease, and chronic disease is driving healthcare costs, why are our food and healthcare systems still so separate? And what would change if they weren’t? In this episode, S2G’s Sanjeev Krishnan and Dan Ripma use our new Food as Health white paper as a jumping-off point to unpack what “food as health” really means and why a system that keeps getting more expensive without making people healthier is reaching its limits.

| 11/20/25 |  Food Security Is National Security: Agriculture Policy for a New Era | The Farm Bill, our country’s cornerstone for farm and nutrition policy, has long been a rare beacon of bipartisan success. But the recent deal to reopen the government quietly tacked on yet another extension of the 2018 Farm Bill that has had a series of extensions since 2023. So the question is: are we watching the end of big bipartisan legislation? Or is it time to rethink the playbook entirely, bringing in new stakeholders and connecting more of the issues that shape the system to build a ... | 49m 00s | ||||||
| 11/13/25 |  Energy Affordability and Fit-for-Purpose Capital with Jigar Shah | When voters went to the polls last week, one issue rose above the rest: the cost of keeping the lights on.
