As you’ll hear me say in today’s interview with Chris Forte, the co-founder of Why Bars, I see a LOT of bars come through my office. Not only did I grow up in the vending industry but I’ve worked in it the last 15 years. There are few that intrigue me the way that Why Bars did when I first discovered them.

I love their clean ingredients list, I love that when I bit in to my first bar that it tasted like food and not just like a slimy date bar, and I love how filling it was. Sine then it’s become a staple that I keep in my car and in my office, so that I can grab one quickly if I’m running low on fuel.

In today’s conversation Chris and I talk about how Why Bars came to be; it involves a chance encounter on a snowy day which seems like the perfect kind of story to tell this time of year. We also talk about how Why Bars serve a real purpose, why you should consider staying away from other types of bars and what it means to be a spiritual entrepreneur.
