On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, we’re joined by Lauren Chew, the Founder and CEO of Love + Chew. Lauren’s entrepreneurial journey began when she adopted a vegan lifestyle in 2018, leading her to rethink her diet, including sweet treats. In 2019, she turned this passion into a business, crafting the first Love + Chew cookies in her San Francisco apartment. These plant-based cookies, made with wholesome ingredients like dates, chia seeds, and almond butter, quickly gained a loyal following. Lauren has bootstrapped her business from day one, growing Love + Chew into a brand now available in over 2,000 stores, including Whole Foods Market, Sprouts, Costco, and Amazon. In our conversation, Lauren shares her insights on building a brand, the challenges of being a solo female founder, and her approach to sustainability in the food industry. Whether you're interested in plant-based foods, entrepreneurship, or scaling a business, this episode offers valuable lessons and inspiration.
