What happens when a call for co-existence is immediately met with… “𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞”?

Thank you, Initiatives in Art and Culture and Lisa Koenigsberg, for hosting a panel where tough questions and diverse perspectives could theoretically collide and collaborate. Conversations like these aren’t always comfortable, but they’re necessary.

Because this isn’t just about lab-grown vs. earth-mined anymore. it’s a mirror reflecting how legacy reacts to change

Here’s the truth on what the consumer is telling us …
The consumer doesn’t care for the drama.
They crave clarity, not chaos.
They’re choosing value, ethics and relevance.
They’re choosing what feels right.
Let’s not forget, the Consumer is King. And this King isn’t confused. They’re Empowered.

The question isn’t “Who owns the pie?” . It’s “Can we grow it, without slicing each other out?” …hopefully without microscopes and dewormers. 😅

Thanks to Rob Bates from JCK for moderating , Kathy Hillelson for her financial note and Raj Mehta, Matthew, Stuart Samuels and Feriel Zerouki for their views.

“𝐃𝐢𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐬” wasn’t just a title, it perfectly captured where we stand today!

Lookout for the full version of the panel discussion soon.
