by Jeff Bond

I'm the Co-Founder of Chat With Leaders Media and People First Elevation Team, where my team and I help values-driven businesses create content that strengthens relationships, fuels engagement, and drives high-performing cultures. We partner with communications, marketing, and people teams to produce thought-leadership podcasts, executive messaging, and event content. My team and I also work with leaders to transform company meetings into culture-defining moments—ensuring they align teams, elevate key voices, and inspire action. As a board member of Conscious Capitalism Atlanta, I advocate for business as a force for good. Outside of work, I’m passionate about faith, family, and using influence to create lasting impact.

In this episode, Jeff chats with Jack Griffin, Founder, and CEO/FoodFinder who was recently awarded the 30 Under 30 by Forbes in the category of Social Impact in 2022.

FoodFinder is a national nonprofit organization whose website and app help food-insecure families find and get help from their closest food pantries. Over the last 9 years and throughout high school and college, Jack grew FoodFinder to where it is today: the single largest source of food pantry information available anywhere in the United States.

He graduated from the University of Michigan in 2019 where he studied Business Administration and Social Work and now leads FoodFinder’s mission full-time. During the pandemic alone, FoodFinder has connected more than 1 million Americans to free food assistance nationwide.

Jeff was joined by a special co-host, Mike Morris, a mutual mentor of his and Jack Griffin as well as a 2x Chat With Leaders podcast guest.
