Listen now
Description
Tyler Lorenzen, CEO of Puris—a plant-based food company dedicated to restoring knowledge, control, and trust within the food system—believes that in order to save people, we have to save food. If his name sounds familiar, it’s because Tyler spent his Saturdays in college playing quarterback for the University of Connecticut before joining the New Orleans Saints, winning a Superbowl with the team in 2009. Tyler uses the leadership skills he learned on the field to hone his role as CEO, emphasizing the importance of a team-first culture: “A winning culture is how do you win as a team, not how do you win as an individual.” Listen to Episode 5 of My Big Safety Challenge to discover more about how Tyler’s football career shaped his leadership style at Puris. Learn about his inspiring journey from the football field to the boardroom and how his sister’s advice to “be 100% where your feet are” guides him as he balances being a new father, a husband, and a CEO.
