Summary

This episode is brought to you by Sendlane.

Kristy says, “the mission that I've been on is how can we deliver the best food safely to our consumers? And some of that's organic, and some of that's conventional, but that conventional is the reduction of pesticides. How do we reduce pesticides? How do we reduce synthetics and inputs into our soil? How do we clean up waterways? What are our actions doing to meet all of that? And that was where we came up with this Be better, do better initiative.”

Today, we interview Kristy Lewis, Founder of Quinn. Quinn is on a mission to shake up the food industry by reinventing snacks, using crazy delicious and intentionally sourced real ingredients, with a dedication to doing things better every step along the way.

* How microwave popcorn put them on the map
* Advice for founders of Food & Beverage brands
