From Oreo Recycling and Industrial Design to the Viral Andy Reid Baby | Unspoken with Jonny Arkin

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode of Unspoken, hosts Nick and Nick sit down with Jonny Arkin, a "creative process solution provider" and the driving force behind Arkin Sales, to discuss the fascinating business of solving "unsolvable" industrial problems. Listeners will discover the engineering secrets behind high-stakes industrial recycling, including how Arkin’s family business developed systems to turn broken Oreo cookies into ice cream toppings and how a unique plastic separation process led to a massive market for engineered fake snow in movies and retail. Beyond manufacturing, the conversation explores Jonny’s rare athletic feat—a hole-in-one on a 341-yard par 4—and the viral story of his son, Abe, whose Halloween costume as "Baby Andy Reid" became a national sensation on Barstool Sports and news outlets. From the physics of pressure wave mills to Jonny’s quirky H&M "sleeping outfit" ritual and his core philosophy that "it’s nice to be nice," this episode offers an insightful look at a "Think Tank" approach to global commodities and intentional parenting.
