Todd Linsky has spent close to forty years learning one trade and practicing another. The trade was organic produce. Night manager in a San Diego natural foods store in the late 1980s. The market. The field. The sales desk. The rooms where a cottage industry became a category. He has structured new businesses and restructured tired ones. He has sat with growers, retailers, and the people who make policy. A lot of how this business works, he helped build. The practice is leadership. In 2015 he founded Todd Linsky Consulting. The offer is not another deck. It is building people so they can build their companies. He hosts TLC Todd-versations. He is writing People Before POs. He still walks into the industry that raised him. He does not limit the work to it. One handshake at a time.

Produce is where I learned it. The work is people, purpose, and the discipline to tell the truth before the quarter forces it. I start with who you are, not only what you do. Sales and structure come after the room can hold them. Produce Therapy was the name I gave this work inside the industry that raised me. The method has not changed. The room has gotten bigger. The practical work is brand building, brand strategy, sales, and marketing. The people have to be able to carry it, or it does not stick.
