Angie & Dan Bastian were looking to put aside some money for their kids' college fund when they started a small kettle corn business out of their garage.  Initially selling popcorn at outdoor events, including Minnesota Vikings games, the couple soon took their popcorn to Trader Joe's, Target, and Costco – gaining a crash course in how to operate a business along the way.  

Angie retired from being a nurse practitioner and Dan from a history teacher and baseball coach to run their company full time.  And after years of commitment and sacrifice, the Bastian's sold their business Boom Chicka Pop in 2017 to Chicago-based Conagra Brands for $250 million.

In this candid conversation, you will get to learn more about their childhood, what has shaped their beliefs, lessons learned about life and business…Both Angie & Dan have generous hearts and continue to share their time, talents and treasures helping others reach for the stars.
