    When Kristel De Groot found out that her husband, Michael was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 24: she created nutrient-rich superfoods to help him recover. And so, Your Super was born. 

    Tune in as we dig into Kristel’s journey of launching a health-focused business and how that led to her to Forbes’ 30 under 30 list. We also chat about her biggest challenges, marketing strategies, what goes into building a good customer experience, the importance of reading ingredients, how her company sources only high-quality ingredients and maintains 100% transparency, and why a giving back is at the core of what they do. 

    In this episode you’ll learn:

    • How Kristel realized the way foods influence our bodies from a young age, and then used this knowledge to help her husband Michael
    • Their journey to start the company and why online sales were key at the beginning 
    • The reason that social impact means so much to Kristel and Michael, and when it became a big part of their company’s mission 
    • The way they ensure that they source only the best ingredients {and why they call the farmers they work with “Super Heroes”}
    • What questions we should all be asking about the food that we consume 
    • How Kristel and Michael knew it was time to expand their team, and the biggest mindset shifts that had to be made 
    • The way that YourSuper.com builds the customer experience into their marketing 
    • The biggest challenges they’ve faced, how to draw the right team members to you, and much more!
