Chris Whitney is the Executive Director and co-founder of OneGenAway, an organization headquartered here in Franklin, Tennessee that rescues high-quality, surplus food from grocery stores, restaurants, farms, and caterers, and they redistribute that food to individuals and families who are experiencing food insecurity. In this episode Chris and I talk about:
- How God led he and his wife Elaine to move to Nashville
- How they started OneGenAway
- The stigma that is attached to failing
- How he grew OneGenAway from $1M to $27M in 10 years
- Mistakes he's made as a leader
- His distaste for the word "non-profit"
