The Business of Raw
With all the gloom and doom in the media right now about our economy, we wanted to do a little feature on positive companies, doing positive things and the people behind them.
We’re calling this week “The Business of Raw”. And what we plan on doing is featuring conversations on our podcast with raw food business owners about their business, how they got started and what lessons they’ve learned.
Tomorrow we’ll be featuring a conversation with entrepreneur and blogger Kevin Gianni.
