Nutpods Founder and CEO and Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year, Madeline Haydon, shares her story from humble beginnings and lessons she learned from her refugee parents immigrating to the US. On this episode, you’ll learn how her Kickstarter campaign provided the assurance that she had a good idea, how the odds were stacked against her when it came to fundraising and what the moment was when she felt like she made it. In five short years, Nutpods has grown to the #3 brand in the plant-based creamer category, the #1 selling brand on Amazon, Amazon 2019 Small Business of the Year and the fastest growing brand of refrigerated plant-based creamers in national retailers – no small feat. In addition to hearing her business advice, Madeline also shares some important guidance on taking care of yourself and teaching kids to find their motivation from within.
