Dave’s Post-Interview Analysis

My objective in this interview was to cover two things… first, what makes a food entrepreneur successful, vs. the many who don’t succeed, encouraged by friends who said, “wow, that (food product) is awesome – you should sell it!”  Second, how one goes from creating an initial food product, to one that can be mass produced, then distributed and sold via channels beyond booths at farmers markets.  Both Pete and Melonie, energized by the tea and bars they make, share those stories!
