This week's guest, Ree Dolnick, got her start as a cancer researcher and started making energy bars for her friends and family. Everyone loved them so much that she ended up turning her side hustle into her 110% gig! Her company, JECA Energy Bar, has taken off! She was awarded a $25,000 Ignite Buffalo grant in 2018 and has been working on scaling her business ever since!
Originally from Korea, Ree came to America as a little girl knowing no English and quickly became fluent upon going to school. We talk about her life and her business and more!
You can find JECA Energy Bars in WNY at Whole Foods, The Lexington Co-Op and many other local cafes and shops!
