Guest bio: Julie Escobar is a sharpened international market-driven leader and international business woman. She has driven the achievement of tremendous sales goals - from $20M to $50M in 3 years. Escobar is co-founder of Global Women Fresh, an organization whose mission is to leverage the talent of Women in produce to close the food industry’s gender divide by inspiring, connecting, and empowering women around the world. Episode Quotes “To go where you really want to go, you have to put the hours, you have to put the energy, the investment – financial and non-financial – and ultimately that takes determination, right? I mean you have to have determination, you have to be incredibly intentional about what your goals and your dreams are.” - Julie Escobar “Rock the boat. Ask difficult questions.” - Julie Escobar  “Hope is not a strategy.” - Michelle Redfern “You need to understand how the company is making money. And when you are comfortable articulating – how does the company make money and how do you add value to that equation – and you can articulate that well in front of anyone... then I think that’s ultimately when you become someone critical in the equation.” - Julie Escobar  “The advice given to women is so rarely around developing your business, strategic, and financial acumen. It’s so rarely about how to harness and point your ambition in the right way. It’s so rarely about unleashing their potential. It’s so often about their appearance. It’s so often about work-life balance. It’s so often about the very gendered things...” - Michelle Redfern “Absolutely, it is important to hit the numbers, and to hit the revenue and the profits, but at the same time it Is incredibly important to bring the team and to have an environment and a culture that you are supporting and empowering and mentoring the people behind you. Because if not, then it doesn’t really work. The company can be making millions and billions of dollars, but if everyone hates coming to work, it’s a nightmare for everyone”. - Julie Escobar  “Putting your head down and your bottom up doing really good work is OK. But you need to also build those internal and external relationships.” - Michelle Redfern Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

89: How to Gain Quick Traction Through Collaboration with the Co-Founder of Global Women Fresh, Julie Escobar

“If we integrate more women and balance the boardroom, then we can have a huge impact on the environment.”Julie Escobar (11:34 - 11:46)  The International Mission of Global Women Fresh Julie Escobar has worked on an international scale with growers, consumers, and retailers in the agricultural industry for the past 20 years. Throughout her business expeditions in Latin America, Europe, and the Pacific Rim, one factor remained constant: There were almost never any other female representatives present at sit-down meetings.  Where were all the women? This question led Julie and two close friends, Viviane Schappo and Monica Bratuti, to establish Global Women Fresh. Their goal is to help women, like you, take stronger positions in the industry for a better future in fresh produce. “We really wanted to take it to the next level and unite people from Latin America, Europe, the U.S.A., and Asia together on one platform.” - Julie Escobar (3:40 - 3:50) Connecting, Inspiring, and Empowering Women Across the World in Agriculture Global Women Fresh is the first global network created by women and for women in agriculture.  Connect. Lack of capital is the biggest reason women-led businesses fail to succeed in agriculture. Global Women Fresh overcomes this obstacle by strategically networking and connecting investors. They bring in private equity groups and partner with financial institutions that educate, guide, and provide loans. Global Women Fresh also utilizes recruiting agencies and talent incubators to generate more jobs and opportunities for women everywhere. Inspire. Global Women Fresh fosters open conversations on urgent current events. The non-profit organization specifically focuses on five pillars: Food Waste, Sustainability, Social Impact, Technology, and Innovation. Discussions are inclusive to every tier of the industry, from farmers to executives. Together, we can build a better economy and face the issues of our industry. Empower. When you walk into a grocery store, you’re likely to see more mothers than fathers pushing carts down the aisle. Between 80% to 90% of shoppers are women. That’s right! We make most of the consumer-based decisions in our homes. Imagine what would happen if you, and more women, directly stepped into a place of responsibility and power in the produce supply chain? “Food is there for women, whether you’re sitting in Indianapolis, Indiana, Los Angeles, California or South Africa. It’s the common denominator and love language around the world.”  - Lori Taylor (17:24 - 17:40) Food brings us together in times of celebration and grief. But the vegetables and fruits brought to the table need to be handled and monitored more responsibly. You can have a direct impact on and in the produce supply chain.  Are you ready to join Julie and her team? Don’t be shy! The industry needs women like you.
