If you watch my Instagram stories, you're familiar with the product created by my guest on today's episode. I'm so excited to introduce you to Ali Bonar, the creator of the world's first granola butter. Not only am I a huge fan of Ali's product, but I am also in awe of how she shows up so authentically on social media, and how open she is about her entrepreneurial journey and her own personal struggles with an eating disorder and body image.
