This Winner of Food Network's "Chopped" Created a Personal Brand Like None Other, with Palak Patel
40:15||Season 3, Ep. 249“I think you have to do what is kind of right for you and your soul,” says Palak Patel. In this episode, Lindsay Pinchuk talks with Palak, a culinary star who has made significant strides in the food industry. Palak shares her journey from leaving a stable corporate job to pursuing her passion for cooking, which led her to culinary school and eventually the Food Network. There, she competed on Chopped and emerged victorious, beat Bobby Flay, and became a finalist on Food Network Star Season 14.Palak’s story highlights the impact of following your passion and the opportunities that arise from taking bold risks. She recounts key moments in her career, from her initial reluctance to compete on Chopped to how winning the show opened numerous doors. Despite setbacks like the pandemic disrupting her plans to open a restaurant in New York City’s Hudson Yards, Palak continues to grow and adapt.Beyond her TV success, Palak is also an accomplished author. Her cookbook, “Food is Love: Plant-Based Indian-Inspired Recipes to Feel Joy and Connection,” reflects her deep connection to food and her cultural heritage. She emphasizes the importance of authenticity, staying true to one’s values, and building a personal brand that aligns with one’s beliefs.This episode of Dear FoundHer… explores the challenges and rewards of being a public figure in the culinary world, the importance of community, and the impact of meaningful partnerships. Palak’s journey is a reminder that it’s never too late to pursue your dreams and that the experiences and setbacks along the way add depth to your story.Quotes“Food is Love” represents the culmination of my entire relationship with food. When I began writing this book two years ago, I started to dig deep into what I wanted to bring to the cookbook. It is an extension of me and reflects the idea that food is one of the ultimate connectors in our lives—it’s been that way since the dawn of time. Food is a beautiful way to get to know someone and express how you feel.” (12:55 | Palak Patel)“Whenever I’m looking at partnerships or long-term engagements with brands, it’s definitely about alignment. It’s similar to selling a service: does this match my value system? Does the brand align with the things that are important to me? And do we have similar goals?” (16:39 | Palak Patel) “Staying true to what you stand for and knowing what aligns with your guardrails and what falls outside of them is really important.” (19:30 | Palak Patel)Connect with Palak Patel:https://www.chefpalakpatel.com/https://www.instagram.com/chefpalak/Get on the Dear FoundHer... email list for more: https://lindsaypinchuk.myflodesk.com/foundherfridaysGrab some time with Lindsay to build and grow your business.

From a Side Hustle to a Full Time Gig Through the Power of Women in Sports, the Olympics and Community, with Jamie Mittelman, Founder of Flame Bearers
48:43||Season 3, Ep. 247“I wanted to be a part of providing role models who look and sound like women from all over the world,” shares Jamie Mittelman, founder of Flame Bearers, a media company dedicated to amplifying the stories of women Olympians and Paralympians. In this episode, she joins Lindsay Pinchuk to discuss her journey from passionate Olympic fan to full-time entrepreneur.Jamie highlights the significant gender disparity in sports media, where only 15% of coverage focuses on women, and even less on women from diverse backgrounds or those with disabilities. This inspired her to create Flame Bearers, which shares these athletes’ stories through podcasts, videos, and live events. The athletes become ambassadors for Flame Bearers, helping to grow the platform organically.The episode covers the challenges and triumphs of building a business from scratch, including the importance of a supportive network and the pivotal moment when Jamie realized Flame Bearers could be more than a passion project. She talks about the role of grants and sponsorships in funding her venture and the shift toward a sponsorship model for sustainability.Jamie’s story demonstrates the power of community and storytelling in driving social change. Tune in to this episode of Dear FoundHer… to hear more about Jamie Mittelman’s innovative media approach through Flame Bearers, her commitment to elevating female athletes, and her mission to spotlight the stories of women Olympians and Paralympians.Quotes “Women athletes have not historically had a community. They have been pitted against each other. Historically, women in general have viewed each other as competition and not as a whole rising together. I wanted to do it differently.” (22:31 | Jamie Mittelman) “Some of the best ideas I’ve had have not been mine; they’ve come from our community. I think I’ve been open enough to hear them and been responsive to them. Where a lot of founders go wrong is they ignore the comments of their community.” (36:28 | Jamie Mittelman) “I want people to think of Flame Bearers anytime they think of the best female athletes in the world. I want it to be the community, the hub of the best athletes in the world, where they feel like their stories are told in their own words.” (38:08 | Jamie Mittelman)Connect with Jamie Mittelman:http://www.instagram.com/jamiemittelmanhttp://www.instagram.com/flamebearersGet on the Dear FoundHer... email list for more: https://lindsaypinchuk.myflodesk.com/foundherfridaysGrab some time with Lindsay to build and grow your business.

From 30 Local Retailers to National Distribution at Walmart, Whole Foods and Thousands more with Jash Mehta, Founder of Pop and Bottle
47:30||Season 3, Ep. 245“I definitely don’t know if I would have done it if I knew how difficult it was back then. But here we are, living to tell the tale,” says Jash Mehta, co-founder of Pop & Bottle, as she shares how she and her co-founder, Blair Hardy, started the company inspired by California’s farm-to-table culture and a commitment to plant-based eating.From humble beginnings with a Vitamix in a small kitchen, they created dairy-free, no refined sugar, and organic beverages. Despite lacking a food and beverage background, their passion for clean living led them to craft products free from additives and preservatives, setting Pop & Bottle apart in the market.Strategic marketing, eye-catching packaging, and partnerships with local tech and food delivery services helped them gain traction. Securing a spot in Whole Foods was a pivotal moment, validating their efforts and allowing them to scale.Jash emphasizes the importance of community support, trusting one’s intuition, and being resourceful. She shares their future goals for Pop & Bottle, including expanding their product line and becoming a household name in the organic beverage market.This episode of Dear FoundHer… explores how two friends turned their passion into a successful business, navigating the food and beverage industry with resilience and innovation.Quotes“We wanted to be organic certified. That was really important to us because we believe in our coffee and tea being organic. So we had to go through organic regulation, get certified, and do all of that. But again, what did that teach us? It taught us everything about supply chain and sourcing, and we’ve carried that knowledge forward as we’ve built the brand.” (17:30 | Jash Mehta)“We sold ourselves and our story as much as we sold the product.” (27:45 | Jash Mehta) “Don’t let this be a lonely journey. Find community. And don’t let anybody tell you or define the rules of your company or your business. Finding that inner voice as you balance out all of those outer voices is really, really important.” (43:39 | Jash Mehta)Connect with Jash Mehta:Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/popandbottleGrab Lindsay's Partnership Blueprint for Small Business: https://stan.store/lindsaypinchuk/p/get-your-ebook-now-the-partnership-blueprintConnect with Lindsay Pinchuk and Dear FoundHer.http://www.instagram.com/lindsaypinchukhttp://www.instagram.com/dearfoundherGrab Lindsay’s JumpStart Your Business Blueprint:https://lindsaypinchuk.myflodesk.com/11stepsforbusinessIf you like what you're hearing, please leave a rating or review at: https://ratethispodcast.com/dearfoundherIf you know a FoundHer... we should meet, please tell her to share her story with us here.https://form.jotform.com/230008245758152Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm244. From $30MM in Capital Raised...to Nothing...and then a Comeback, with Amy Nelson Founder of The Riveter
38:52||Season 3, Ep. 244“We had to shut down tons of parts of the business, and that was work. So, I kind of leaned into the work. I had to lean into the work of what The Riveter needed to do,” says Amy Nelson. Amy’s business was founded in 2017 to create an inclusive community space for women. Despite rapid growth and raising $30 million in venture capital, the COVID-19 pandemic forced Amy to shut down coworking spaces and pivot the business model. She openly shares the emotional and financial toll of layoffs in the business, amid very public and complex legal battles that involved Amy’s husband and Amazon.Through perseverance, Amy reimagined The Riveter to focus on digital events, newsletters, and mentorship programs to find impact through reinvention. Amy’s conversation with Lindsay highlights the impact of community and staying true to one’s mission, even in the face of extreme adversity. Quotes“When I was going through hell, I found a community in my own hell. What I mean by that is, just like when The Riveter was scaling, I built a community around other women raising money who were in similar situations. When everything went to hell, I found people who were in the same spot, I made friendships, sought advice, and found someone to talk to.” (25:16 | Amy Nelson) “I decided to do what I was good at, which is help women through pivots, and just share with them every single piece of knowledge I have gathered along the way. Because not only have I lived the pivot, but I have studied everything about how we do this, and how we build an audience, and how we share our story. And I have built an incredible network of incredible women.” (27:32 | Amy Nelson) “I am a collector of people and I am constantly seeking out people to talk to. When I want to understand something, I go to the experts. And I do that in all areas of my life.” (30:20 | Amy Nelson) “Do not be afraid of failing, embrace it. Because if you aren’t failing, you’re just not thinking big enough. Failure is okay. Go pick up the pieces and keep going. It would be quite a boring life if you never failed at anything.” (36:48 | Amy Nelson) Connect with Amy Nelson:http://www.instagram.com/amy_k_nelsonhttp://www.instagram.com/therivetercoGrab Lindsay's Partnership Blueprint for Small Business: https://stan.store/lindsaypinchuk/p/get-your-ebook-now-the-partnership-blueprintConnect with Lindsay Pinchuk and Dear FoundHer.Grab Lindsay’s JumpStart Your Business Blueprint:https://lindsaypinchuk.myflodesk.com/11stepsforbusinessIf you like what you're hearing, please leave a rating or review at: https://ratethispodcast.com/dearfoundherIf you know a FoundHer... we should meet, please tell her to share her story with us here.https://form.jotform.com/230008245758152Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm243. From Nearly Going Out of Business to an 8-Figure Cult Following, with Allison Evans and Kelly Love, Co-founders of Branch Basics
49:04||Season 3, Ep. 243“We didn’t care about cleaning products. We didn’t set out to sell soap,” says Kelly Love. She, her best friend Allison Evans, and Allison’s aunt Marilee Nelson, co-founded Branch Basics with a different mission in mind. “We believed there was a need for truly safe products, and we knew we had built a platform to share this crucial information,” they explain. Their goal was not just to sell soap but to transform lives through Branch Basics.In this episode, they join Lindsay Pinchuk to discuss their journey from near closure to a $40 million revenue DTC business, driven by a mission to educate and empower people to live healthier lives. They share their experiences with harmful chemicals, which led them to create toxin-free, sustainable products and prioritize transparency and quality. Despite major setbacks, their commitment to their mission and community support fueled their success.Allison, Kelly, and Marilee’s story is a testament to the impact of living authentically and creating products that truly make a difference in people’s lives.Quotes“Our products have always been a vehicle for educating and creating a community, which is why we’ve sold direct to consumer for several years. We really want to have that community relationship.” (10:01 | Allison Evans)“Human health is our number one goal. We put human health above everything, but efficacy is right behind it.” (32:28 | Allison Evans)“Know your strengths. Know that when your pie is bigger, your piece is smaller, but you’d rather have a smaller piece of a bigger pie. People who hold on too tightly to their equity and pride, refusing to admit when they need help, are making one of the biggest mistakes.” (38:55 | Allison Evans) “Test and learn. Just start doing whatever your idea is. Start on a small scale with a minimum viable product. Don’t worry about proving scalability before you even prove the concept. Get as much feedback as you can in those early days and don’t hold yourself back, either from perfection or from thinking, ‘How am I going to scale this and reach everyone?’” (45:42 | Kelly Love) Connect with Allison Evans and Kelly Love:https://www.instagram.com/branchbasics/Grab Lindsay’s JumpStart Your Business Blueprint from last week's episode:https://lindsaypinchuk.myflodesk.com/11stepsforbusinessGrab Lindsay’s Reels Cheat Sheet + Social Media Challenge.
