On the latest episode, host Bishoy Tadros sits down with Matt McLean, a true pioneer in the organic farming and food movement. As a seventh-generation Floridian and fourth-generation citrus grower, Matt shares the remarkable story of founding Uncle Matt’s Organic in 1999 with just three acres in his dad’s backyard—and growing it into the leading organic orange juice brand sold in over 20,000 stores nationwide.

Matt reflects on his family's deep citrus roots, the hard lessons learned from agricultural setbacks, and the values of resilience and integrity passed down through generations. He gives us a behind-the-scenes look at overcoming challenges like citrus greening disease and devastating freezes, and he explains what it takes to innovate in an ever-evolving marketplace—developing new products for a health-conscious generation while staying true to the mission of organic nutrition.

Tune in for a conversation about legacy, entrepreneurship, innovation, and the power of hard work—plus some valuable lessons for parents, business owners, and anyone chasing their own comeback story.
