Can a restaurant brand really change lives? 🤩

In this episode of the WiRL Pod, I'm sitting down with Evonne Varady, Co-Founder of Clean Eatz, a health-focused fast-casual franchise that’s on a mission to transform lives. From its humble beginnings to becoming a leading player in the wellness space, Evonne shares her journey of building a brand that prioritizes more than just healthy meals — it’s about creating a community where judgment is left at the door, and wellness becomes a lifestyle.

Evonne opens up about the challenges of franchising, how Clean Eatz stays true to its mission while scaling, and why the brand’s approach to food, fitness, and culture is so much more than a business strategy. 

We also dive into some of the most pressing issues in today’s health and wellness landscape, including:

• How Clean Eatz is addressing the rise of Ozempic and weight-loss medications
• The importance of gut health and functional foods in today’s dining trends
• Sustainability in food sourcing and packaging
• The growing shift towards high-protein diets
• Competing with meal kit services like Factor and HelloFresh in the fast-casual space

This episode is not just about business—it’s about making an impact. Tune in for valuable advice on creating a purpose-driven brand, building community, and leading with heart. #WiRLPower 💪🌱
