I’m so happy to welcome Breanna of Kokada to the podcast this week! She makes one of my favorite snacks and has recently launched their version of dunkaroos which are just spectacular. Breanna’s story is so inspiring and will give you a much needed push forward on your journey.

Throughout her international travels through sport and work, she went out of her way to find sweet, “not too unhealthy” snacks that would satisfy her cravings but not harm her health. After years of exploring, she started creating coconut spread in her kitchen.

After years of experimenting, she launched Kokada to share with more people!

I’m so excited to welcome my friend & business mentor, Sophia Karbowski to the podcast! Sophia is the co-founder of realsy — a nut butter filled date brand that is so beyond delicious. I loved hearing how her career journey has panned out and what life looks like now. Check it out!

Austin and Sophia became business partners in college in 2017, while (conveniently) studying entrepreneurship. They started their first business with an unrelenting mission to spread healthy vibes all over the country, as they grew from a single food truck to health food cafes on college campuses across the country.

Since then, the duo has entered the CPG (consumer packaged goods) space, with a strong desire to make their genuinely nutritious food options even more accessible and convenient. realsy is a snacking company with a mission to make real delicious, real nutritious snacks, that take it a step past better-for-you, but genuinely GOOD-for-you snacking. Think: ingredients as simple as fresh produce – but exciting, novel, and uber easy to take with you wherever you might be headed. Our commitment to using real ingredients in every product we offer you is unwavering, and we can tell you that for realsy.

What We Chat About

• realsy’s story + Sophia’s experience as a founder

• Building solid routines to stay happy + energized

• Saying no to what doesn’t serve you
