Episode 36 is with Nick Saltarelli, one of three Co-Founders of Mid-Day Squares!

Mid-Day Squares started with Lezlie Karls, Nick’s wife, creating homemade fudge bars to solve their afternoon cravings while also keeping the junk away. What started as a home experiment became the seed for an incredible business idea. Today the company has sold over a million units and is available in grocery stores across the country!

We sit down for an unfiltered, uncensored, free-for-all chat with Nick to hear his take on the journey thus far. He talks about how they grew the business in one of the most saturated industries on the market, how they manage their work/family relationship, and how being your authentic self is the key to success.

This was a fun chat with so many gems throughout, so grab a snack and enjoy!
