The International Egg Foundation is building an infrastructure of hope across nutritionally disadvantaged regions — and the humble egg is at the center of it.

When a teacher reported her students were getting loud, wild, and "naughty" after a school started serving eggs, that complaint was actually proof something was finally working. Children who'd been running on empty now had enough protein to act like kids again.

In this episode, Brandon Mulnix sits down with Cassy Price, the first dedicated staff member of the International Egg Foundation (IEF), to unpack how the global egg industry is building sustainable 400 to 1,000-bird farms that turn parents into entrepreneurs while feeding children who need it most.

In this episode:

• The naughty kids story — what a teacher's complaint revealed about nutrition and energy
• How IEF builds 400 to 1,000-bird farms that create local entrepreneurs and feed school programs
• The Honduras First 1,000 Days of Life program — and how one 400-bird barn became a 3,000-hen operation
• The Eswatini breakthrough: hard-boiled eggs preserved for 30 days without refrigeration in extreme heat
• How younger leaders and employees can plug into meaningful philanthropy through the egg industry

About Cassy Price: Cassy Price is the first dedicated staff member of the International Egg Foundation, based in Shropshire, England. She transitioned from the International Egg Commission to lead IEF full time in 2022 and oversees programs across 10 countries.
