146 | How Building a Supportive Community Can Help You Thrive in Business with Asha Wheeldon of Kula Foods

Today’s episode is with my new friend Asha, who is the founder of Kula foods!

Kula is a sustainable plant-based food company that was created based on Asha's diverse cultural experiences. Raised in Kenya, her journey led her through Toronto and to British Columbia. After moving to Vancouver, she was looking for food, flavours, and spaces that reminded her of home.

Inspired by her East-African family recipes, she aimed to share something unique that not only offered delicious nourishment, but created spaces and stories for inclusion, representation, and community connections through food. And KULA Foods was born!

In this episode we talk about Asha’s journey of how she became an entrepreneur when she was a new mom, she also shares how she felt imposter syndrome when she first launched her food company as she didn’t have a background in the industry. In this episode, we also dive into the power of community and creating connections with other entrepreneurs, and how it’s so important to be able to step outside your comfort zone!
