Media Mavens Podcast is Talking Trends, Topics and Tribulations on all Things, Tech, Entertainment & Lifestyle

Dedicating a career to all things food, Sutton has traveled the world looking for the best environments for specific produce, as well as searching for the most sustainable forms of these foods. As Sutton explains, “When you look at a product like an avocado, you want to purchase that as close to its natural environment as possible.” Through finding the best areas to grow certain crops, Sutton is working to make a better, healthier (and tastier) world.

With the Mavens, Sutton discussed some of the biggest discoveries in his career, encountering different cultures, working with companies like Trader Joe’s and explaining how proper early-on testing can help create a healthy lifelong nutrition plan tailored to an individual.
