Welcome to the Startup CPG podcast. I'm your host, Jennifer Yephas Blundell.

Janie's life-changing baked goods has been transforming lives, including her own.

Janie credits baking as giving her hope after she struggled with addiction and homelessness

as a young adult.

She's also changing the lies of those around her through service and hiring historically

marginalized community members.

Listen in as she shares her journey through darkness to the bright lights of the Food

Network Channel, QVC, and beyond.

Hi, Janie.

Thanks for being here today.

Hi.

Thanks for having me.

So I have to say, I absolutely loved your cookies.

I am gluten-free, and I ate them anyways because I like to live life dangerously.

Oh, my God.

But I am that type of gluten-free person where I just

kind of like, you know, I might get a little headache or whatever, but it's always worth it

when something is good. And I probably ate the entire box of like, ooh, this is, this is worth

it. Oh, my God. I'm glad to hear it was worth it. Oh, my gosh.

Janie, they are amazing.

I had the pecan ones.

Those are my favorite.
