Riana Lynn grew up in Chicago and, partway through graduate school, got interested in bringing more raw foods to her area. She had gotten into more general entrepreneurship in college, but healthy food is particularly important to her because a number of her family members suffer from chronic illnesses, which are much less common in regions where fresh and healthy food is the norm. She has founded many food-related companies since then, the most recent--and current--one being Journey Foods.

Today, Riana joins us to talk about her journey to Journey. She discusses her experience as a serial entrepreneur and what she’s learned from it. She takes us through the three pillars of the mission of Journey Foods. She tells us about some surprising characteristics she looks for in a new hire. She notes the twofold role of organization and communication in a successful business. She talks about the importance of making the early relationships in a company good ones, and she discusses the future of women in technology and entrepreneurship.

“Great companies are built around good culture.”
