A well-tended garden of inspirational ideas and origin stories focused on a sustainable future.

Hi friends,

I’m Justine Reichman and I’m so proud to share how NextGen Purpose has evolved into a platform for changemakers; from a food-focused media platform into a thriving community at the intersection of sustainability, entrepreneurship, and purpose-driven living.


Today, NextGen Purpose brings together founders, innovators, and advocates who are reimagining how we live, eat, and build businesses that serve both people and the planet.


Through our Essential Ingredients Podcast, Substack newsletter, and curated Good Stuff Guide, we tell real stories that connect values with action and help our audience make conscious choices while empowering brands to lead with integrity.


Our mission remains simple but has grown deeper:
to educate, inspire, and connect those who believe business can be a force for good and to create conversations that drive regenerative impact in our food systems, communities, and daily lives.


Thank you for being part of this movement. Together, we’re redefining what it means to grow with purpose
