Annie Leal founded I Love Chamoy, a company that specializes in creating sugar-free, low-carb chamoy sauce, in response to realizing that her diabetic father had a plethora of sugar-free American snacks but no sugar-free options for Mexican treats. The mission to create such a food item became near to Annie’s heart since she wanted her dad to be able to enjoy the traditional condiment in a healthy way—and she used social media to get the word out about her company. Now 250K TikTok followers, Annie sits down with us to share her journey and offer some tips to help other founders achieve similar social media success.

There are so many advantages to starting your business while you continue to work your corporate job. For one, you still have an income to support your expenses during those first few months (or longer) where you haven’t even launched yet or your business isn’t making any money yet. At the same time, starting your business while still working full-time comes with its own unique set of challenges. Jess Coleman, the Founder of Huckleberry Creative, joins us today to talk about her own experiences with this and to offer some helpful hints to others who might soon be juggling the double life of employee and entrepreneur.
