Why you should trust your gut.
(Video + closed caption available on YouTube)

Trusting in the process can be the hardest and most rewarding thing you can do for your Good Food business.

In this episode, Sarah is joined by Lauren Montgomery, the founder of Monty’s, to discuss the intricacies of building a sustainable food brand. Lauren's journey from a deep passion for nutrition to creating the cleanest ingredient cashew cream cheese and plant-based butter on the market is both inspiring and educational.

Lauren shares how Monty’s early and fast growth caused some growing pains, and how a pause to recalibrate helped her lay the foundations that would eventually allow for the sustainable growth she is enjoying today.



You’ll hear:

  • What made Lauren decide to slow down and ensure every aspect of the business was in alignment with her vision

  • How she approached reducing costs without sacrificing the integrity of her product

  • The importance of diversifying your business

  • Lauren’s best advice for emerging food business founders

  • And more!
