    Food Secure Nation with Denis McDonough, CEO Feeding America Part 1
    Sep 17 2026
    After a lifetime of public service, Denis McDonough had choices. He chose hunger. In this deeply personal conversation, Feeding America’s new CEO shares how family, faith, service and a belief in the dignity of every person led him to the fight for a food-secure nation. And I would not change the Show 1 monologue or FFT much at all. After hearing the actual conversation, they hold up exceptionally well.

    The Other Side of the Aisle We hear a lot about crossing the aisle these days. But Heather Paquette crossed a different one — the grocery aisle. After 24 years in grocery retail, Heather became President of Good Shepherd Food Bank of Maine, bringing lessons in operations, innovation and execution into a world where success is measured very differently. Heather joins Dr. Phil Knight and Gerry Brisson for a remarkable conversation about what translates, what must be unlearned, why hard times demand creativity, and what leaders discover when they’re willing to see the world from both sides of the aisle. Listen to Food Secure Nation and discover why being curious is how we build a Food Secure Nation.
