234 How to Build a Family Chocolate EMPIRE - Mid-Day Squares

Midday Squares is a Canadian Snacking Chocolate Company based out of Montreal, founded by Jake Karls, Lezlie Karls, and Nick Saltarelli (yes, they are family!)

Sitting down with Midday Squares for an interview was a dream come true! I had followed their work for years, I snack on their products daily, and I eat up their content because it's so damn good. They are leaders in the food and bev space not only because of a high quality product, but also because they are transparently sharing the behind the scenes of building their business: documenting the highs (aka getting listed in walmart) and the lows (spending 2 years and tons of money to develop a new flavour, only to have it flop).

It was an honor to sit down and record this episode LIVE in Toronto with a studio audience.

I know that our conversation will be one that you guys LOVE and many of you have been obsessed with MDS for years, like me, so I hope you enjoy this conversation!
