We’re back with another powerhouse episode featuring Starr Edwards, co-founder & CEO of the wildly beloved Bitchin’ Sauce — the almond-based dip that started at a San Diego farmers’ market and scaled to nearly 7,000 stores across North America, including Kroger, Albertsons/Safeway, Costco, Target, Whole Foods, and Sprouts.
But this convo isn’t just about sauce — it’s a deep dive into building with purpose, leading with values, and carving your own lane in the CPG space.
In this episode, we cover:
What makes Bitchin’ Sauce a standout in the wellness + natural foods space
Launching a brand before people “get it” — and how Starr pushed through the noise
Balancing motherhood (👩👧 of 5!) with entrepreneurship
How family-first culture became a Bitchin’ business superpower
Grit, patience, and staying mission-aligned when it’s hardest
Whether you’re dreaming up your own product line or love a founder story full of heart — this one’s for you.
