Sweet Loren’s: Loren Castle. How A Recipe Makeover Built a National Cookie Brand

Épisode 880

lundi 19 octobre 2026 • Durée 01:08:54

Loren Castle started baking cookies after surviving cancer in her early twenties. Five years later, Sweet Loren’s refrigerated cookie dough was generating just $350,000 a year. But instead of giving up, she listened to customers, and reinvented the dough without gluten, dairy, eggs or nuts. That transformation turned a small regional business into a national brand sold in more than 30,000 stores. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN How surviving cancer at 22 inspired Loren to rethink her career and develop a passion for healthier food. What working at New York’s Levain Bakery taught her about the enormous appeal—and profitability—of cookies. Why Loren decided to sell ready-made cookie dough instead of cookies Why she was totally unprepared for her first Whole Foods meeting—but went anyway Why raising her first $1 million from friends and family was much harder than she expected. Why hundreds of customer requests revealed an unmet need for allergen-free cookie dough. Why growing slowly may have saved the company. Why Loren isn't rushing to sell Sweet Loren’s TIMESTAMPS: 8:40 – After her mother's leukemia diagnosis, Loren is diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma at 22. 13:12 – Watching people line up for cookies at Levain Bakery: “I think this is America’s favorite food.” 14:54 – Selling baked goods at Smorgasburg: customers ask if they can just buy the dough 26:52 – Just as Whole Foods agrees to carry her cookie dough, Loren loses her mom 37:41 – What happens after Sweet Loren’s gets on The Today Show: “The whole country is excited by this.” 50:19 – Loren reconsiders her recipes after customers ask for dough without gluten, dairy, eggs. 56:24 – Loren takes the leap: discontinuing her original product line and going allergen-free for all. 1:05:41 – From one Whole Foods to 30,000 stores–the company expands nationally. 1:07:46 – After years of struggle, Loren explains why she wants to keep building the company instead of pursuing an exit.

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema: Tim and Karrie League (2023)

Épisode 878

lundi 12 octobre 2026 • Durée 01:21:05

In the early 1990’s, Tim League spent $50,000 in savings to lease an abandoned movie theater on the wrong side of the tracks—a shaky experiment that eventually grew into a thriving national chain. As Tim and his wife Karrie built theaters in Austin and beyond, they made a name for themselves by offering dinner with the movie, creative pairings (like sake with Godzilla), and roadshows where movie-goers could watch Deliverance in canoes, or Rocky on the famous steps in Philly. Alamo Drafthouse Cinema now has dozens of locations across the country, but there have been plenty of bruises along the way: a failed first theater, a fractious lawsuit with business partners, and a swan dive into the red during the pandemic. This episode was produced by Carla Esteves, with music by Ramtin Arablouei. Edited by Neva Grant, with research help from Carla Esteves.

Stories about starting a business are almost always full of drama. They’re about ambition, loss, triumph, catastrophe, resilience.

Ten years on, he’s conducted over 600 interviews with some of the world’s most successful founders, and on today’s show, he replays some of the most memorable moments and lessons. Joining him is Jamie Siminoff, the founder of RING and a former guest on the show. Why Jamie? He’s a friend, a fan, and – as you may remember from his first interview - he doesn’t hide his emotions. Timestamps: 5:10 A lightbulb switches on at an NYC bodega: “Oh my God, look at all those cherries!” 9:33 The moment Stitch Fix founder Katrina Lake realized she should start her own business. 12:04 The difference between scary and dangerous, and why it matters for founders 19:35 Eileen Fisher’s first, terrifying trade show: “I couldn’t speak.

Banza: Brian Rudolph. The Chickpea Pasta That Nearly Turned to Mush

Épisode 872

lundi 21 septembre 2026 • Durée 01:02:15

Brian Rudolph started making chickpea pasta in his Detroit apartment because wheat made him feel sick. A decade later, Banza was in more than 25,000 stores, and today, it’s one of the most popular pasta brands in the country. Success was not automatic: The business barely got off the ground because the cooked pasta was turning to mush—and as Banza became known for its health benefits, a food-safety scare sent sales plunging by 30%. In this episode, Brian explains why he was inspired to create a whole new category, how he turned chickpea skeptics into fans, and how the company rebuilt trust after a public relations disaster. What you’ll learn How Brian and his brother Scott launched Banza with only $100,000. How they learned to stop chasing perfection and to ship something that was “good enough.” How crowdfunding and reality TV helped Banza land its first retail accounts. How packaging can become an important growth engine for a new brand. How transparency can rebuild trust after a PR debacle–but can’t restore it overnight. Timestamps: 05:50 - Brian uncovers the unexpected culprit behind his health issues: Wheat 07:27 - From Chewy bars and Chipotle to pasta made of… beans? 16:24 - Banza gets a big break on national TV 20:51 - The 192-store order that Banza wasn’t ready for, and why retreating to a smaller manufacturer helped them meet it 26:12 - Banza’s first production run turns to mush when cooked. The solution? “Steep it like tea” 34:04 - The origin of the distinctive orange box 39:13 - Pizza anyone? Banza expands into thousands of stores and launches new products 41:00 - The food safety scare that Brian never saw coming 52:13 - Even in the midst of a crisis, Brian says to “assume positive intent” This episode was produced by Katherine Sypher, with music by Ramtin Arablouei.
