After loving eating microwave popcorn during her pregnancy but not being able to find a healthy option, Kristy Lewis began researching healthier packaging and ingredient options for microwave popcorn a mere three days into her first maternity leave. She had been frustrated with the fact that no one had created a better-for-you microwave popcorn for years and decided to see what could be done about it during her three-month maternity leave. Little did she know that this would lead her to launching her own company that would disrupt an entire industry. On this episode, Lewis details how she started her company by asking tons of questions, how she's kept it alive for more than eight years, and why having passion for what you're doing is one of the most critical components.
