#261 Giddy Yo // Bridgitte Longshore - How A Chocolate Bar Can Change Everything

Matt sits down with Giddy Yo founder Bridgitte Longshore. Giddy Yo makes organic nutritious dark chocolate & body care products that are designed with purpose and made with love. Bridgette has always had a serious love for healthy living and clean nutritious foods. So, it’s no surprise that Giddy Yo really got its start right in her kitchen while trying to feed her family the best food she could get her hands on. Before long she was making chocolate for farmers markets and that very quickly snowballed into a bigger, and bigger operation until she found herself going through hell-and-high water to source ingredients for enough batches of chocolate to meet her demand. With a sense of uncompromising quality and a commitment to run an ethical business, Bridgitte is fairly strict about what goes into her products and keeps her deep-rooted love for healthy foods sowed within each bar. Beyond making such fantastic chocolate, Bridgitte has instilled a deep sense of gratitude and moral responsibility within Giddy-Yo and is always quick to help support anyone in need. At a point, one can make the argument that Giddy-Yo is less about the chocolate and more about celebrating the little things in life that make it special. In this episode of Built On Passion Bridgitte Longshore shares how she scaled her business so quickly, the challenges of sourcing ingredients while maintaining the highest quality, and her how and why behind building Giddy Yo.
