In this special episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of something I’ve been pouring my heart into for months - The Bread Winner Summit! This is the first-ever virtual event created just for sourdough microbakery owners, and it’s happening April 14–15. I share the vision, how it came to life (starting with a quiet birthday hotel stay and a ChatGPT brainstorm!), and why it’s so needed in our industry. If you’ve ever felt like resources are scattered or hard to find, this summit was made for you. It's full of practical insight, inspiring speakers, and the kind of focused, sourdough-specific support I wish I'd had when I started.

I also walk you through the six pillars I’ve used to shape the event - sales, marketing, processes, products, lifestyle, and cash flow - and how every session is designed to help you grow a sustainable, profitable bakery that fits your life. Plus, I talk about the all-access pass, speaker bonuses, and how this event is going to leave you feeling more equipped, connected, and excited about your business. If you haven’t grabbed your free ticket yet, now’s the time. This episode will help you get the most out of the summit and show you exactly why it matters.
