What Are You Waiting For?
A conversation exploring the pivotal moments, values, and actions that move leaders from intention to execution — in business, in sustainability, and in life. Andy Weinstein, the host of What Are You Waiting For?, is the CEO & Founder of GODOT, a large-scale waste-to-value company converting wastestreams into fuel and fizz for the beverage industry. As a third-generation Pepsi bottler, Andy realized that the biggest opportunity in his industry isn’t selling beverages — it’s solving for the waste we leave behind.
