Connecting with Local Farmers and the Importance of Regenerative Agriculture

In this episode, I sit down with Mark Ritz, co-founder of Carnivore Snax. Mark's journey is fascinating, from starting the Ritzfit podcast and ecommerce company to eventually launching Carnivore Snax with his partner Sylvia.

Mark shares the origin story of Carnivore Snax, beginning with Sylvia's personal health journey with the carnivore diet. We loved hearing how they built an audience around her story first before running a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2020. Mark gives us an inside look into the ups and downs of rapidly scaling Carnivore Snax over the past few years - expanding their product line, working directly with regenerative farms, and handling all the adversity that comes with running a growing business.

Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, interested in the carnivore diet, or care about regenerative agriculture, we think you'll get a ton of value from Mark's transparency and wealth of knowledge in this episode.
