The year is not over just yet! We have another inspirational journey with a voice you may have heard earlier this year on A Mental Health Break! David Israel is back and touches on:

  • How his get connected to Oprah, and why
  • Recognizing a need in the market and attacking 
  • Providing jobs to 250+ inmates coming home to change their lives

David Israel turned an idea sparked during his time in prison into a thriving business. Now the Founder and Co-CEO of GOOD PLANeT Foods, David is on a mission to bring the joy of cheese to consumers with plant-based options that are better for you and the planet.

An experienced entrepreneur, David previously founded the internationally successful Pop! Gourmet Foods and co-founded AvoLov/BranchOut. Challenged to eat more plant-based foods, he found cheese the hardest to replace. After discovering non-dairy cheese-making traditions in Crete, Greece, he developed GOOD PLANeT's Olive Oil Cheese—the first plant-based cheese made with heart-healthy olive oil, offering the taste and melt of traditional cheese.
