Ep 53 - Having a beginner mindset with Anna Gordon

Ep 53 Having a beginner mindset with Anna Gordon Anna’s journey is far from traditional and it is rooted in the love of connecting with the community and sharing the roots of her partnership. Anna founded The Good Batch over 15 years ago and every day since has continued to be curious, create and define what leadership means to her. In this collaborative conversation, Anna shares, without sugar coating ** pun intended **, her path back towards herself and how it has had such an impact on her team culture and business. About Anna Anna Gordon is the chef and founder of famed cookie bakery The Good Batch. Anna’s popular Brooklyn-based bakery first garnered NYC interest when she launched at the Brooklyn Flea / Smorgasburg in 2010 - she was met with lines down the block and quickly sold out each weekend. Her bakery in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn opened in 2014, and has become a national destination as well as a neighborhood staple. The Good Batch is known for hearty, innovative, flavor-forward cookies, ice cream sandwiches, and beautiful layer cakes. The company has a robust wholesale program, distributing their baked goods to the finest coffee shops and cafes around NYC. Anna runs the bustling business with her husband, Steve Hartong, and among many other accolades over the years, she is a member of the James Beard Foundation's WEL (Women’s Entrepreneurial Leadership) program.
