This week is a special edition episode with returning guest, Co-Founder and Rainmaker of Mid-Day Squares, Jake Karls. Our audience can 'Ask Jake Anything!' whether it's about his chocolate empire, to how he checks into therapy to take care of his mental health, to CPG strategy. Mid-Day Squares is an idea of what a healthy afternoon craving killer should taste like. It was designed for those on the go that want to cut their hunger and cravings in between meals. It’s made entirely with superfoods and all of the ingredients are raw, vegan, gluten-free and made with organic ingredients. Most importantly, it's made with real chocolate and tastes just like chocolate.
