What does that team look like?  ► [ 27:24​ ] You share things with your audiences that are normally kept behind closed doors. What inspired this transparency and authenticity?   ► [ 31:30​ ] Who have been some of your mentors or role models along the way?   ► [ 35:11​ ] What's next for Mid-Day Squares?   ► [ 37:04​ ] Where is the best place for people to find and try Mid-Day Squares?   ► [ 37:48​ ] As someone who lives and breaths food all day, how do you re-connect with Food on a personal level?
