A little about our guests.
Dan & Nicole have been together for 12 years and are married for 7. They have 2 children, girls, ages 8 months and 3 years. Nicole is the health and fitness guru whose goal is to help women lead happy lives, whatever that means for them. She is a graduate of the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and enjoys creating new, healthy recipes. She is also a big fan of coffee.
Dan has a passion for his family and for small business, both his and helping others with their businesses. He and Nicole formed Blissful Eats together based on past entrepreneurial and corporate experience.
Dan graduated Providence College in 2004 and went to work at the Working Boys Center in Quito, Ecuador while waiting for Nicole to graduate.
A little about their business.
Blissful Eats started in 2011 as a local snack company. Together, Dan and Nicole built their business and now Blissful Eats is available in some Whole Foods around the country, online and in other stores regionally (Northeast US).
Nicole went full-time into the company first, followed in August 2015 by Dan. They built the company while starting their family. Their older daughter works as a professional taster for the company.
One piece of advice (the nutshell version)
When you are building your business, you are your biggest seller and your biggest advocate. Don’t farm out that most important part of your business.
