Developing a Positive Relationship with Food, Body Neutrality, and Launching a Successful CPG Company with Oat Haus Founder Ali Bonar
In today's episode, Chad and Kelley talk to the founder of Oat Haus, Ali Bonar. Born in Japan and raised in San Diego, Ali has been passionate about food for as long as she can remember. Her deep-rooted passion for nutrition inspired her to study Nutritional Sciences at UC Berkeley and eventually launch @avokween, where she dove crown-first into the Kween lifestyle. Ali wholeheartedly believes that overall wellbeing is often achieved off-the-plate: nutrition is important, but human connection (and pizza with friends at 2am) are essential. Through the community she has built she’s started the incredible business Oat Haus- the first ever spreadable granola available in over 1,200 stores. In this episode we talk to Ali all about how to recognize the signs of disordered eating, healing and recovery and a path to freedom with food, starting a self-manufactured food business in the consumer products space, scaling products, selling to Whole Foods, and influencer marketing. We hope you can take so much away from this amazing episode with Ali.
