OFF TO THE RACE!

The month of May means a lot of different things to a lot of people. For some, it’s all about spring. For my family, though, it means one thing … my birthday has arrived! Just kidding! There’s an event in May that’s much bigger than my birthday. You probably know where I’m going with this. I am, of course, talking about the Indianapolis 500! We bought our tickets and they arrived in the mail. Every day, I walk past them and, every day, I get more excited. This year, my wife and I are bringing along our oldest son, Spencer. This will be his first year going to the race. To add to his excitement, Spencer will also be going with one of his best buddies who’s coming out from California. He’ll be joining us at the race along with his dad. Speaking of the Indy 500, be sure to check out this month’s Truck of the Month. We decided to do something a little different to honor the Indy 500 pace car. For the past 20 years, a Chevy car has led the pack. In fact, Chevy has had an exclusive deal with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway since 2002 to provide the pace car, along with other support vehicles. This

looking forward to in May. My wife and I will be heading down to Kentucky for the Kentucky Oaks, the horse race before the Kentucky Derby. It will mark our second time going to the race, and I have no doubt it will be a lot fun. Of course, one of the things I’m most excited for this month is the nice weather. I’m sure just about everyone is looking forward to clear skies. I just want to break out the golf clubs! Last month, during a GM conference out west, I may have taken a little extra time for myself to play a few rounds of golf. All joking aside, the real most important day in May is Mother’s Day, which is on Sunday, May 13. I want to send a big shoutout to my mom for being a total rock star! She instilled in me many of the values I live by and shaped the man I am today. I also want to give a shoutout to my wife. She has been a fantastic role model for our two boys. I know that one day, Spencer and Conner will look back with nothing but admiration. To wrap up this edition of the newsletter, my best piece of advice to you this month is don’t forget to call your mom! Reach out to all the special mothers in your life this Mother’s Day, whether it’s your own mom, your spouse, your sibling, or your daughter. Wish her the best and let her know just how much you appreciate all she does. Trust me, she will appreciate it in return.

year, the Corvette ZR1 hits the track.

The Corvette was last seen at the Indy 500 last year with the C7 model.

Until next time, maybe I’ll see you at the track!

FOOD SUBSCRIPTION BOXES TRYING NEW CUISINE HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER

Eating the same foods over and over gets old, but it’s often hard to be adventurous when you don’t want to waste money on unappetizing food. Enter the food subscription box. When you sign up for a food subscription box, you’ll have the opportunity to sample new foods without committing much money — or time at the grocery store — to the cause. Here are two tasty food subscription boxes that’ll make your mouth water. TRY THE WORLD Try the World believes that the most authentic way to discover a new culture from the comfort of your own home is through food. With two price points to choose from, Try the World sends you artisanal and gourmet foods from different cultures each month. Each box comes with a “culture guide” that includes the story behind each food, recipes that incorporate the products, and tips to enhance your food-tasting experience. Like most subscription boxes, you can’t choose which country’s foods you’ll sample. However, you can purchase individual items at Try the World’s online shop. Customers can pause or cancel their subscription any time, and pricing depends on the length of your subscription.

With this method, you can get seeds that will grow anywhere, but you may not get much flavor from their produce. Think of the watery, flavorless tomatoes you often find on sandwiches or burgers at fast-food restaurants. Row 7 hopes to change the status quo by developing seeds that burst with flavor and nutrients. By collaborating with chefs and farmers, Barber hopes to cultivate the flavorful foods that people want. Row 7 targets an audience of people who enjoy good-tasting food — in other words, all of us. The company hopes to capitalize on intrepid farmers who’ve been overlooked by the large seed companies and work with them to breed plants for flavor. Row 7’s seeds are all organic and have not been genetically modified. Not only will these plants add much-needed biodiversity back into the seed world, they’ll also grow into more nutritious food. “The goal of the company is not only to increase the flavor of vegetables, it’s to look at how we, as chefs, can change the culture of eating,” says Barber. We’ll have to wait and see what Row 7’s success looks like, as the company was only unveiled this year. Row 7’s goal to change the food culture in America is not in conflict with their goal to be in Walmart, and that’s pretty radical. GRAZE If you like variety, exciting flavor combinations, and wholesome snacks approved by a nutritionist, you’ll love Graze. With this food box subscription, customers create a personalized snacking experience, something that many food subscription services don’t offer! Once you set your preferences, Graze handpicks eight snacks for your box. After you’ve tried your snacks, you can tell Graze how well they know your taste buds. Unfortunately, Graze is not suitable for people with allergies. Their snacks are packed in a facility that also processes nuts, wheat, milk, soy, and egg, and cross-contamination is a strong possibility. Graze prices depend on the services and products you select, but a standard subscription starts at $13.99 per box. Like Try the World, you can purchase snacks separately from their online shop. Customers can pause their subscription for up to 12 weeks or cancel their deliveries at any time. Trying new food should be a fun, stress-free experience. Food subscription boxes allow you to sample new snacks and create foreign meals cheaply and from the comfort of your own home. Try a box the next time you’re feeling adventurous in the kitchen.

Is It Possible to Align Business With Values? THIS COMPANY THINKS SO

A number of high-profile businesses have made the news recently for their values-based decisions. This kind of decision-making brings up an interesting question: Can you promote your values through the way you do business? Take Row 7, a seed company founded by Dan Barber, a chef; Matthew Goldfarb, an organic seed grower; and Michael Mazourek, a professor of plant breeding and genetics. By cultivating a new brand of seeds that are grown for flavor, the company wants to change the way we think about food. Row 7 hopes they can produce seeds that will grow into produce that grocery stores like Walmart will carry. The three men care a lot about food and how it’s grown. The first episode of Netflix’s “Chef’s Table” follows Barber from farm to table as he hand-selects the ingredients he’ll be cooking with for that evening’s dinner.

Traditionally, seed companies develop seeds with adaptability in mind, such as a potato that can be grown in Idaho and on the East Coast. They cultivate breeds with the furthest reach and highest profit margins — it’s a one-size-fits- all approach.
