Episode Description:

When we think of vending machines, we think of unhealthy grab n’ go junk food, but fresh and healthy foods are now served with that same convenience!  In this episode, we’re joined by Megan Mokri, Co-Founder and CEO of Byte Technology, which created technology that makes this possible. Megan shares her entrepreneurship journey- including the challenges that come with building a rather atypical business.
