I am a passionate traveler who likes to explore new places, try new food, and spend time in nature. I wanted to start a business that could change people's lives. It is my passion to provide healthy alternatives that will appeal to a wide range of people. Receiving positive feedback from our customers is something that motivates my team and me every day. It is a nice confirmation that we are doing something good for the community and the sense of reward definitely fuels our business as a whole.

If I had to choose one, it would be that I have been able to inspire many people to change their eating habits for the better.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
The hardest part is establishing the business. All responsibilities are on you as the business owner. There is an underlying pressure to build a good team, find initial customers and provide a continuous quality service. Additionally, when you run a business, it is hard to completely switch it off from work in your free time as you want to dedicate all of your time to the development of the business.
