| 0:07.3 | Welcome to Raising Good Humans. I'm Dr. Lisa Pressman and today is an episode that's |
| 0:13.0 | highlighting a brand that I partner with and love once upon a farm. I'm speaking with co-founder |
| 0:20.8 | Cassandra Curtis who's the chief innovation officer and she's just going to tell us all about |
| 0:26.5 | this brand that's doing good in the world, feeding kids and is a really good friend to raising |
| 0:33.7 | a humans podcast. So tell me how you started once upon a farm? Yeah, so it actually came out of |
| 0:42.0 | my own personal dilemma of being a working mom back in 2013. At that time couldn't find |
