Safely Delicious
Got allergies? Safely Delicious is expanding your palate with a wide selection of all-natural, allergy-friendly snacks. In this episode of Startup Hustle, the Matts sit down with Lisa Ragan, CEO, and founder of Safely Delicious, to discuss the best and safest alternatives for food allergies.
The idea of Safely Delicious was cooked from a mother’s personal experience of raising kids with food allergies. Lisa Ragan has been cooking allergen-free since 2004. Not wanting her kids to feel excluded in social events, she created snacks that tasted similar to what others were eating. It then turned into a full-grown business with people indulging themselves in these healthy, allergen-free snacks.
Safely Delicious manufactures allergy-friendly products, free of theTop 11 Food Allergens (wheat, dairy, peanut, tree nuts, soy, egg, fish, shellfish, mustard, sesame, sulfites).

Marketing Startups
In this episode of Startup Hustle, the Matts talk to Veteran turned marketing expert, Jannae Gammage, Founder, and CEO of the Market Base. They talk about the digital marketing business, and the many struggles founders encounter.
The problem with the marketing industry is the shortage of affordable high-level marketing services. A lot of startup entrepreneurs could not afford the cost of a marketing expert, so instead, they do it themselves, even with little to no knowledge on the subject.
To address this issue, Gammage and her co-founders built a marketing agency that offers quality marketing output but, at a price, that startup entrepreneurs can afford.

Being a coach is a tough job. There is a lot expected but not always a lot of support. With so much going on it is easy to let things slip such as documenting interactions with players or noting important information they give you. It may seem like a small thing but if not done could leave you unprotected if something went amiss To help college and university coaches, former D1 basketball coaches Marsha Frese and Danielle Gratton used their knowledge of the coaching industry to build docUssist.
docUssist is a user-friendly web-based software catered towards coached, designed to document and organize critical events and information quickly. In the current state of the coaching environment, this software helps protect those who could be wrongly held liable, for a variety of things involving their players.
