It was a special privilege for me to be able to speak to Dr. Temple Grandin and hear her story, be inspired by her insights and to get a better view of how she and others like her view the world.  

I was extremely blessed to be able to ask her what her thoughts were about the career readiness program that our parent company, Commonwealth Autism started earlier this year at Good Foods grocery. 

Temple Grandin is a Distinguished Professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University.  Facilities she has designed for handling livestock are used by many companies around the world.  She has also been instrumental in implementing animal welfare auditing programs that are used by McDonalds, Wendy’s, Whole Foods, and other corporations.  

Dr. Grandin has appeared on numerous TV shows such as 20/20 and Prime Time.  Her books include Thinking in Pictures, Livestock Handling and Transport and The Autistic Brain. Her books Animals in Translation and Visual Thinking have been on the New York Times Bestseller List.  

Dr. Grandin was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame in September 2017, in 2022 was named a Colorado State University Distinguished Professor, and in 2023 was inducted into the Colorado Authors’ Hall of Fame.

The Good Foods podcast is hosted by Shardan Sandoval and it’s possible that you've heard my voice on a commercial here and there, particularly since I'm currently one of the many talented National Creative Production Designers for iHeartMedia and to date, I voiced and produced commercials that have aired from Hartford to Hawaii.
