I’ve never tried our Peanut Butter squares… until today.

14 years of living with a peanut allergy meant I never had the chance to taste the bars Lez, Nick and I have spent the last 7 years of our life building.

But recently my allergist (doctor) told me that I had actually outgrown my allergy to peanuts and certain tree nuts.

And so, I parked outside a hospital just in case something went wrong, and I tried the bars I’ve built my life around…

Watch to the end to see what I thought.

(DISCLAIMER: This is not medical advice, it’s simply my personal experience. Before trying our product, I got tested and retested several times over the last 2 years with my allergist before we confirmed I was no longer allergic to certain tree nuts and peanuts. After that, I went to try peanuts and certain tree nuts in a controlled environment (monitored) in the hospital with my allergist and other medical professionals. Only after that, was I cleared to slowly re introduce peanuts and certain tree nuts back in to my life. Everyone’s allergies are different. Always consult your doctor or allergist before making any decisions about allergens.

Important: Peanut Butter Mid-Day Squares: Contains peanuts and hazelnuts and may contain almonds, sesame and cashews.)

I’m at the Arizona Food Marketing Alliance Tournament with the @sprouts team when something wild happened…

I sunk a 100 yard eagle

But even though it’s an amazing golf shot, it represented something more to me in that moment.

I grew up chasing the checklist—grades, comfort, the “right” path. I just wanted to fit in and play it “safe.” Until failing at it showed me that I’ll never win by being someone I’m not. 

When you lean into your authenticity, you win. Success isn’t a checklist; it’s choosing your path and moving forward while believing in yourself.

Fear used to block me. Now I use fear to propel me forward.

I grew up shopping at Walmart.
Last week, I was invited to share the Mid-Day Squares story on their stage in front of hundreds of entrepreneurs.

Not gonna lie, standing there felt surreal.
One of those rare moments where you stop, breathe, and realize how far the journey’s taken you.

Still sinking in.

Featured in a full-page of Entrepreneur Magazine.
This one’s big. @entrepreneur !!

For the past decade, I’ve been reading Entrepreneur Magazine and Entrepreneur.com to get inspired, to learn, and to feel connected to the entrepreneurship community.

I’d read the stories and think: maybe one day I’ll be in the print magazine… maybe one day I’ll get to contribute too.

That day is today. Both dreams came true.

The article dives into one of the most pivotal moments of my journey:

In year one of @middaysquares , I stepped down as CMO. It wasn’t working and staying in that role would’ve held us back. So I pivoted.

I became the Rainmaker: Building relationships with media, investors, retailers, new team members, and bringing the brand to life in the loudest way possible.

It’s not just a feature, it’s a full-circle moment.Proof that betting on your strengths is always worth it.
Even if it means changing the plan.

Every time before I step on a stage to give a keynote speech whether there’s 10 people or 10,000 in the crowd, I get nervous.

It never goes away.

And in that moment, I’ve got two options:

Step back or step in.

What I’ve learned is simple: every time I step in, something happens.

An opportunity. A win. A lesson.

Always something.

And it’s bigger than just stages.

It’s life.

That knot in your stomach? That’s the signal.

Lean into it because that’s where the good stuff always is.

My 32nd Birthday Letter

I turned 32 today.

Here’s the reality: life doesn’t get more certain with age. It just gets more real.

Some days I feel unstoppable.
Other days I wonder what the hell I’m doing. And I’ve learned that both are part of the deal.

When I was younger, I thought 32 meant grown-up. Now I know “grown-up” is just code for trading your spark for stability.

I don’t want that.

I’d rather stay messy, curious, and a little reckless (in a good way), because that’s where life actually happens.

The world will always try to nudge you toward safe.
But safe doesn’t give you stories.
Safe doesn’t give you fire.
Safe doesn’t make you feel alive.

So here’s my promise at 32:
To protect the kid in me who still believes anything is possible.
To take the swings, even when the odds aren’t great.
To stay unapologetically myself, even when it’s easier to blend in.

Because I didn’t come this far to play small.

I am addicted to being around winners. You win by surrounding yourself with folks that are winning in life.
It makes you want to be better.
