Every book Paul Shapiro recommended on podcasts
Paul Shapiro appeared on The Rich Roll Podcast to discuss the future of food, clean meat, and his own background. During the episode, Shapiro referenced Rich Roll's book Finding Ultra on multiple occasions. He described having a trigger moment while reading the book because it mentioned driving up the driveway to Landon School, a location they both shared a connection with. Shapiro also told Rich Roll that reading Finding Ultra inspired him to run a marathon, noting that he had previously believed such physical feats were only possible for other people rather than someone like himself. In addition to Finding Ultra, Shapiro mentioned McKay Jenkins' book Food Fight, citing it as a very good work that examines the debate surrounding genetically modified organism crops. Shapiro used Jenkins' analysis to support his own arguments about the clean meat industry and agricultural technology, demonstrating how various texts influenced his personal journey and professional perspectives on food.
