Marimix Unwrapped | Mari Fassett on Reinventing Her Life (and Her Snack Mix)
Description
When Mari Fassett first started whipping up snack mixes as a kid, she never imagined it would turn into a business. What began as something she shared with friends and family eventually became Marimix — a certified gluten-free, whole-grain, plant-based snack that’s equal parts sweet and savory.
But Mari’s story isn’t just about creating a crave-worthy snack. In 2017, she survived a serious brain aneurysm that completely shifted her outlook on life and business. Against all odds, she rebranded Marimix with a cleaner formula and a fresh perspective — determined to make snacks that nourish, delight, and bring people together.
In this episode, we unwrap:
- How Mari’s entrepreneurial spirit started in the kitchen at age 12
- Why she changed her mind about architecture to follow her passion for food
- The health crisis that reshaped her personal and professional journey
- How consumer demand pushed her to create a better-for-you mix
- The little wins that keep her motivated (and why joy is her true measure of success)
Mari’s journey is an inspiring reminder that persistence, adaptability, and passion are what fuel long-term success.
