Sustainable and Upcycled Cookies with Maura Duggan, Founder of Fancypants Baking Co. About Maura:
Maura Duggan is the founder and CEO of Fancypants, a delicious crispy cookie brand using high-quality ingredients with an elevated twist. She originally started Fancypants as a decorative cookie company in Massachusetts in 2004, along with creating her own manufacturing facility to ensure quality control and scale the business. Maura ​​evolved the company with her husband and COO Justin Housman into a premium CPG cookie brand in December 2023. Maura was inspired by the homemade cookies she made with her grandmother after school, creating a range of classic, approachable, and innovative flavors with a special fancy touch. With sustainability top of mind for Maura, she’s proud that Fancypants is a zero-waste, upcycled cookie brand.

Before becoming a full-time baking entrepreneur, Maura had a career in neuropsychology education including working at The Perkins School for the Blind. She valued her time at the school teaching students with varying degrees of vision and hearing and other health and cognitive issues, as she learned to see the world differently and gain perspective on what is truly important in life. When she wasn’t with students, she was tied to a desk and daydreaming of baking, which led her to pursue an entrepreneurship path. She earned a Masters from Harvard University in Mind, Brain, and Education and a Bachelors in Neuroscience from Northeastern University. Maura currently lives in the Boston area with her husband, two young children, and puppy Hazel, working at the Fancypants facility and offices in Walpole, Massachusetts.

Lauren Chew dubs herself an 'accidental entrepreneur'. In 2018, she went completely vegan and had to rethink her whole diet - including her beloved sweet treats. In 2019, Lauren turned her side hustle into a full-fledged business when she crafted the first iteration of Love+Chew cookies in her tiny San Francisco apartment. The result: a delicious plant-based treat using minimal, wholesome ingredients. Today, Love+Chew cookies are on the shelves of over 2,000 stores, including Whole Foods Market, Sprouts, select Costco locations, and Amazon.

What's most remarkable about Love+Chew is that since day one, Lauren has bootstrapped her business with zero outside funding or VC help. Coming from a business development and tech background working at companies like Tesla and Stem, Lauren manages all aspects of the Love+Chew business — from product development and marketing to sales and operations. In 2023, she managed to scale her business from 1M to 3M and is on track to bring in 5-6M this year.

Junea Rocha is the Co-Founder and CMO of Brazi Bites, a leader in the frozen better-for-you, Latin-inspired food category. Rocha co-founded the brand in 2010, along with her husband, Cameron MacMullin.

Today, Rocha remains just as passionate and more excited than ever to continue Brazi Bites’ growth, making its products a household staple in North America. She hopes to continue creating joyful moments for families everywhere by producing delicious, easy-to-make, naturally gluten-free foods that also guarantee to spread smiles.

]]> About Junea Rocha & Brazi Bites:

Junea Rocha is the Co-Founder and CMO of Brazi Bites, a leader in the frozen better-for-you, Latin-inspired food category. Rocha co-founded the brand in 2010, along with her husband, Cameron MacMullin. In a few short years Brazi Bites grew into a nationally distributed brand with a cult-like following after appearing on ABC’s Shark Tank and being included twice on the Inc. 5000 list of “America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies.” Bringing a cherished Brazilian household staple, “Pão de Queijo,” AKA cheese bread, to the U.S. market without any experience in the food industry, Rocha grew Brazi Bites’ annual revenue from zero to millions with distribution in over 17,000+ stores. Today, Rocha remains just as passionate and more excited than ever to continue Brazi Bites’ growth, making its products a household staple in North America. She hopes to continue creating joyful moments for families everywhere by producing delicious, easy-to-make, naturally gluten-free foods that also guarantee to spread smiles.

About Today's Guest: Tara Pate:

Tara Pate is the founder of Daysie, the first line of certified organic simple syrups designed for coffee and occasions.

Tara earned her undergraduate degree in advertising from the University of South Florida and a masters degree in integrated marketing from West Virginia University. She also has a graduate certificate in executive leadership in nonprofits from the University of Florida.

Originally from Sarasota, Florida, Tara married her high school sweetheart and lived in several places throughout the US while he served as an officer in the Navy. It was while living in San Francisco that she became fascinated with marketing for consumer- packaged goods, entrepreneurship and building brands. Tara worked in brand marketing for two multi-million dollar e-commerce food and beverage brands (NatureBox and DripDrop Hydration) during her time in the Bay Area.

In 2020, Tara moved back to the East Coast, planting roots in Charleston, SC and
taking on the marketing role at acclaimed hospitality group, The Daily and Butcher &
Bee. The idea for Daysie was born in the early days of the pandemic when Tara was working from home and longed for her daily latte from her favorite local coffee shop. Try as she might, she could not find an organic, high-quality simple syrup to sweeten her coffee drinks at home and realized she could fill the hole in the market. She officially launched Daysie in 2022.

Tara is a 2016 recipient of a Charleston Forty Under 40 Award, the co-founder and current board member of Pay it Forward Charleston, and a member of the Charleston Junior League. On nights and weekends, you’ll find her listening to podcasts about business, exploring new restaurants, walking the beach with their golden retriever Captain Waffles or working extra hours to take Daysie to new horizons.

Jen Toth is a digital illustrator and fashion model with a big heart for local haunts.

Like many, Jen spent most of the 2020 quarantine looking for ways to get out of her head. Inspired by the comradery in her community of Greenpoint, Brooklyn, she began scribbling local landmarks, bringing brick and mortar buildings to life through a mixture of watercolor and digital technology. Through clean lines and seductive curves awash in saturated hues, her whimsical illustrations capture the beating heart of each New York City borough.

Though she took an interest in sketching as a young girl, it was sartorial design sketches she witnessed on the job that made her fall in love with form. Today the self-taught artist is driven to explore other cities, and with this new medium, Jen hopes to embrace new communities and look for ways to give back.

In this Episode:

  • What she loves most about NYC and being a New Yorker.
  • What makes for a good community member.
  • How she started to lean into a career that you didn't have formal training in.
  • What does her creative process look like.
  • What tools and advice she has for someone just getting started in illustration.
  • Favorite pieces of her own work.

Marissa kickstarted her professional career in 2012 gaining invaluable sales and marketing experience within a large corporation. She enjoyed the structure that corporate-life offered, but ultimately made the decision to transition over to a small agency focused in event design and production and immediately felt at home. After spending close to 5 years managing and growing teams, nurturing existing relationships, fostering new partnerships, and overseeing executive level operations the pandemic brought the industry that she loved to an immediate standstill. She wasn’t ready to give up on the industry that fed her passion for creativity and connection. After a year of event cancellations her partner asked her “Well, what do you really want to do?”. She simply responded with “I just want to do cool sh*t and have a good time". And with that, Marissa launched Good Time Creative in January of 2021.

Good Time Creative is a female-owned creative design and production agency. GTC is operated by fearless creatives who have a specialized expertise in the live event industry. We thrive on creativity and push the boundaries of experiential development.

]]> About Eileen: 

Sunday Night® Foods was founded by Eileen Gannon, a former corporate executive and award-winning baker who turned her passion into a profession when she launched the company’s first products in 2021. The specialty food company offers luxurious, shelf-stable, premium chocolate ganache crafted in small batches with only the finest pure ingredients. In its first year, Sunday Night won a prestigious sofi™ Award for New Product for Dessert Toppings from the Specialty Food Association. The company donates 1 percent of sales to the National Alliance on Mental Illness and is located in Des Moines, Iowa.

Eileen has more than 35 years of experience in public relations, corporate communications, finance and investing. Before founding Sunday Night Foods, Eileen was a SVP for Corporate Communications and Investor Relations at Workiva, a publicly traded software company. She has won 15 awards for corporate communications, public relations and investor relations, including being named a Top Woman in PR from PR News and a Finalist for a Platinum PR Award for Best Financial and Investor Relations for the Workiva IPO. Even though she loved working in corporate America, her passion was always in baking. So in 2020, she was finally brave enough to launch Sunday Night Foods.

Dine Diaspora co-founders Maame Boakye and Nina Oduro launched their Black-women owned and operated agency steeped in culinary, community and commerce in Washington DC to connect people and brands to African diaspora food culture. “There is no food system without Black women. This is why we center their contributions in the global food system by honoring and supporting them as well as connecting them to networks and resources they need to thrive. In our 5th year, we are more inspired than ever by past and current honorees. It is their will to navigate an imperfect sector with their gifts that fuels this initiative and makes it necessary” explains Nina Oduro, Co-Founder, Dine Diaspora.


Dine Diaspora is also celebrating their 7th anniversary this year and has successfully provided digital marketing, immersive culinary experience design and production, influencer engagement, and food business resource development with emerging and established chefs and culinary creatives including: Restaurateur Alexander Smalls, Chef Kwame Onwauchi, Vallery Lomas, Chef Eric Adjepong, Chef Sicily Johnson, Hawa Hassan, and many others.  Dine Diaspora partnerships include: Facebook, Forbes, WorldRemit, Booz Allen Hamilton, Capital One, and Cabot Cheese.  “Black women are critical to our food system, not only in the US but globally. It has always been important for us to amplify their contributions, celebrate their accomplishments, and support their advancement with access to opportunities and resources. As much as this is a celebratory initiative, acknowledging Black Women in Food is also a call to direct more capital and resources into Black women-led initiatives that are at the front lines of creating a more equitable and sustainable food system for all of us,” says Maame Boakye, Co-Founder, Dine Diaspora.


Former Black Women in Food honorees include: Carla Hall,  Restaurateur, Author, and Chef, Paola Velez, Co-founder of Bakers Against Racism, Elle Simone Scott, Founder of SheChef Inc., Executive Editor at America's Test Kitchen, and Host of The Walk-In Podcast and many others.

After years of working in competitive environments as a senior female executive, Marla believes that women's voices must be heard, amplified, and rewarded. She is passionately committed to advancing women's initiatives and considers podcasting as a powerful communication platform with the power to elevate underrepresented voices on a global scale.

Lis Best is an executive coach for women in the impact space, founder of the Girls Club mastermind, and host of the Women Changing the World podcast. In my 10+ years in the corporate sustainability world, I watched two things happen: one, I saw amazing woman after amazing woman land her dream job and completely burn herself out (spoiler alert: this happened to me, too). And two, I saw time and time again that the impact that companies were having on the world wasn't dictated by what they "should" be doing - it was dictated by how effective a change agent the person leading their program was.

In early 2020 (right before the pandemic), I took the leap and started my own coaching and consulting business to help other women make their sustainability careers more personally sustainable by leading with mindfulness and moxie. I have helped hundreds of women launch impact-focused businesses, land and excel in their dream jobs, and polish their personal brands until they sparkle.

Born and raised in Croatia, Jelena Pasic's journey to culinary came from her passion as a lover of food and travel. Jelena graduated at the top of her class with a Business degree from the University of Rijeka, Croatia and worked in the corporate sector for most of her post-graduate career before moving to the United States.

Once in the United States, Jelena began a family and a family business - co-owning and operating three restaurants in Washington Heights, NY while raising two daughters. After nearly eight years of success, change came to Jelena's life and she found comfort in a new community -- Harlem, NY. Jelena fell in love with historical architecture, ground-breaking history and the intergenerational community members and realized the need for a great restaurant celebrating the culture of Harlem past, present and future.

Jelena pulled in support from fellow Croatia friend and restaurant professional Emil Radoncic (Chief Operating Officer) to co-create Harlem Shake - a fast casual restaurant serving burgers, fries, shakes and good times - and two additional partners - Dennis Decker, Brand Manager and Dardra Coaxum, Partner & Social Media Manager to round out the team.

Jelena handles all administrative and leadership duties, interfaces with communications agency, community engagement, philanthropic partnerships and is the milkshake curator! Jelena has been honored by the MAMA Foundation and Harlem Chamber of Commerce. Since 2014, Jelena and her team have made Harlem Shake a formidable competitor to other burger focused restaurants (chains and stand-alone) with award-winning and critically-acclaimed menu selections and most importantly hiring from the marginalized community and creating a culture of inclusiveness - from in-store / off-site partnerships, programming, and staffing.

Jelena looks forward to taking Harlem Shake around the world in the near future while managing marriage and raising her three daughters.

What You'll Learn in this Episode: 

  • History of how Harlem Shake got started - hint it was before the Harlem Shake meme and dance.
  • Jelena's favorite things on the menu, you must try!
  • Running a restaurant as a woman.
  • Maintaining a restaurant through pandemic.
  • How Harlem Shake is celebrating Women's History Month.
  • What's next for Harlem Shake.

After nearly eight years of success, change came to Jelena's life and she found comfort in a new community -- Harlem, NY. Jelena fell in love with historical architecture, ground-breaking history and the intergenerational community members and realized the need for a great restaurant celebrating the culture of Harlem past, present and future.

Jelena pulled in support from fellow Croatia friend and restaurant professional Emil Radoncic (Chief Operating Officer) to co-create Harlem Shake - a fast casual restaurant serving burgers, fries, shakes and good times - and two additional partners - Dennis Decker, Brand Manager and Dardra Coaxum, Partner & Social Media Manager to round out the team.

Jelena handles all administrative and leadership duties, interfaces with communications agency, community engagement, philanthropic partnerships and is the milkshake curator! Jelena has been honored by the MAMA Foundation and Harlem Chamber of Commerce. Since 2014, Jelena and her team have made Harlem Shake a formidable competitor to other burger focused restaurants (chains and stand-alone) with award-winning and critically-acclaimed menu selections and most importantly hiring from the marginalized community and creating a culture of inclusiveness - from in-store / off-site partnerships, programming, and staffing.

Jelena looks forward to taking Harlem Shake around the world in the near future while managing marriage and raising her three daughters.

What You'll Learn in this Episode: 

  • History of how Harlem Shake got started - hint it was before the Harlem Shake meme and dance.
  • Jelena's favorite things on the menu, you must try!
  • Running a restaurant as a woman.
  • Maintaining a restaurant through pandemic.
  • How Harlem Shake is celebrating Women's History Month.
  • What's next for Harlem Shake.
