Susie shares the journey of "accidentally" starting a freezer meal delivery business that scaled to six figures, the challenges of declining sales in a different consumer landscape, and the tough decision to shut it all down.But this isn’t a story of failure—it’s about resilience, learning, and redefining what success looks like. If you’ve ev...

A CEO is first and foremost a manager of people. Most entrepreneurs don't actually want this role, but nevertheless, it is necessary, even if it is a team of one (yourself). Many founders I work with start businesses to be in charge and escape a bad boss or poor work environment, but fail to intentionally set up a positive culture. They develop some poor habits, like overworking and not celebrating wins, that are hard to break later with a team. A true CEO embraces this opportunity...

Working with 100s (maybe even 1000s) of founders launching or growing a packaged food business for over six years has been an exercise in trying to figure out how to say the things people really need to know in ways that are digestible.

It's not a problem that people don't believe me, but I do think if you are just starting out, it is helpful to note these and try to save y...
