Lauren Brundage Mariel is the founder of Live Love Pop, a mission-based popcorn company that has risen to one of the top four highest selling popcorn companies in the US since its launch just seven years ago. In this episode, we learn the ins and outs of launching a business in the food industry and how that process has been impacted recently as a result of COVID. Lauren also talks about how to balance running a business fulltime while entering the world of motherhood, and the best advice she has for anyone interested in taking their idea from the kitchen to the shelves of retail stores everywhere. Look for Lauren’s delicious (and healthy) popcorn on the shelves at thousands of retail stores across the US, including your neighborhood Kroger, HEB and Whole Foods… to name a few! Also, in light of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, be sure to stock up on Live Love Pop’s Truffle Salt Popcorn, a portion of proceeds from every bag sold is donated towards breast cancer research.
