Whether they’re feasting on Sungold Tarts with thyme and bacon or indulging in Hay Rosie Craft’s Sage Chocolate Chip ice cream, The Good Eggs team breaks at 12:30 every afternoon to share lunch. Rob Spiro, the company’s co-founder and CEO, credits the time spent around the table as the business’ most effective way of breathing life into the Good Eggs’ mission. 

I’ve been fortunate to grow up with family dinners so Rob’s insight not only deeply resonated with me, but he opened my eyes to the power that meaningful table conversations, ranging from the Seahawks overtime win to our daily musings, can have on organizational culture.
