Elevated Oats co-founders and veterans, Megan Militello and Lacey Ernandes join me again to discuss their journey the past year and what led to their decision to shut down the company. When starting a new business, not all stories, even with a great product, is all sunshine and rainbows, but they are certainly learning experiences. I really appreciate them being honest and candid about the costs of business, all of the marketing involved and mistakes they made and what they would do different. We get a real look behind the scenes of creating a start up. They also spill the tea on some of the disappointing and frustrating facts that many of us don’t know when it comes to dealing with the FDA and the rules and guides when it comes to labels and packaging and how ingredients. Brace yourself for what they share.
But Megan and Lacey have some new amazing ventures on the horizon with a cookbook coming soon as well as a joint podcast on everything they learned about starting a business, helping other entrepreneurs along their own path.
