Summary
***This episode is brought to you by ATTN Agency and Repeat.***
In today’s show, we sit down with founder and CEO Emily Groden to talk about the Evergreen brand.
As Emily mentions, at the time, she was a lawyer with a young daughter who wanted to feed her “something really quick and easy” and “frozen waffles seemed like the obvious option.” Although she couldn’t believe the type of ingredients were in them when she got a closer look.
Listen in as we hear about how Emily created an organic frozen waffle company for all of those hard-working moms.
In part 1, we discuss Emily’s mentor experience; The 100 ft overview of the brand; Emily’s journey as a college athlete and lawyer; Learning from the Chef’s Table; Pursuing your dreams out of college; Being a lawyer who loves food; and much more.
Join Ramon Vela and Emily as they discuss Evergreen on The Story of a Brand.
