Happy Monday! Last week was a rollercoaster but the weather was in the 70s, so it was hard to sulk inside. Such a fun podcast episode to share with you today with Sophia of realsy. One of my favorite snacks and products to share with people. <3
Podcast:
I’m so excited to welcome my friend & business mentor, Sophia Karbowski to the podcast! Sophia is the co-founder of realsy — a nut butter filled date brand that is so beyond delicious. I loved hearing how her career journey has panned out and what life looks like now. Check it out!
About Sophia Karbowski:


Austin and Sophia became business partners in college in 2017, while (conveniently) studying entrepreneurship. They started their first business with an unrelenting mission to spread healthy vibes all over the country, as they grew from a single food truck to health food cafes on college campuses across the country.
Since then, the duo has entered the CPG (consumer packaged goods) space, with a strong desire to make their genuinely nutritious food options even more accessible and convenient. realsy is a snacking company with a mission to make real delicious, real nutritious snacks, that take it a step past better-for-you, but genuinely GOOD-for-you snacking. Think: ingredients as simple as fresh produce – but exciting, novel, and uber easy to take with you wherever you might be headed. Our commitment to using real ingredients in every product we offer you is unwavering, and we can tell you that for realsy.
