John Mackey, Co-Founder and CEO, Whole Foods Market
Entrepreneurs interested in hearing John Mackey’s perspectives on business will have an opportunity to hear first-hand from the natural products executive during Compass Coffee Talk’s live episode via Zoom. Mackey will reflect on how Whole Foods Market has transformed in the past 40 years and share what’s ahead for the company in the next decade, including what it means to lead a business during these unprecedented times.
In his book Conscious Leadership, Mackey writes, “A conscious leader needs to be actively appreciative. We can be tough leaders at times, we can and should be strong, but at the end of the day, human beings respond best to care and appreciation. It’s important to remember that in business, everything we accomplish is ultimately done with and through other people. That is what conscious leaders do—we inspire, motivate, develop, and lead others.”
Compass Coffee Talk’s co-hosts Steve Hoffman and Bill Capsalis are looking forward to John Mackey’s participation on the show. "It’s not every day you get an opportunity to sit down and chat with legendary Whole Foods Market Co-Founder and CEO, John Mackey. We’re more than thrilled to be hosting an exclusive chance to speak with John in an intimate live setting and learn insights from his books and stories from his four decades in business at the nation’s top natural products grocer,” said Steven Hoffman, Managing Director, Compass Natural Marketing and Co-Host, Compass Coffee Talk.
