Ben McKean is the founder of Hungryroot, an online grocery retailer that has changed the way millions of Americans cook dinner (and lunch, and breakfast) and taught them to love plant-based cookie dough.

We also talk about what it’s like running his company nearly a decade in. Interested? Use promo code TASTE30 for 30% off the first box.
