Placemat: Ryan Reisdorf What If...

What If… Food Could Transform Our Community’s Health? Ryan Reisdorf (founder of Placemat) studied nursing at Belmont while launching his business with the mission of nourishing communities through feel-good food experiences. Placemat provides healthful, locally sourced food through 5 distribution channels. Over the past 5 years, Placemat has grown into a multi-million dollar business and has donated over 115k meals to people in need. In today’s episode, we talk about staying true to your “why”, how Ryan’s nursing education prepared him for life as an entrepreneur, and of course…food!
