Along the way we discuss the efforts GloryBee is making to ensure the future of honeybees, and to make sure the brand continues to stand as a leader and information source for farming practices as they relate to pollination, general food production and the overall health of our planet.“It isn't about one business or one company; it's about all of us doing things together to make this world better.” - RaeJean Wilson In this episode we learn:The challenges and joys of leading a brand through the evolving naturals industry.How farming practices have evolved and how the introduction of food science has affected the honey and sweetness industry.How RaeJean and her family have managed transitional leadership change.Why food is considered a love language.How bee propagation is instrumental in the success of and industry that is leaning more and more heavily into plant based diets and products.Why leadership doesn’t need to be heavy handed to be effective.About RaeJean Wilson:RaeJean Wilson is the daughter of GloryBee Founders Dick and Pat Turanski. RaeJean has served in the family business in several capacities for 25+  years.
