Food is the only economy in the world that touches every person on the planet. We are all connected to food, and one of the world's top marketers turned entrepreneur is now making the connection between farms, food, and people.

• His time at Panera and how it shaped his viewpoint on storytelling for brands. 
• How Scott’s background brought him to Make Hay + what the company aims to do. 
• Make Hay’s relationship with Purdue’s DIAL Ventures and High Alpha, and how it’s accelerating their business.
